00:03:02.780 I train.

00:03:03.520 That's all I do, you know what I'm saying?

00:03:04.580 I feel like most fighters sometimes

00:03:06.680 They think they should work

00:03:09.320 When they call them to fight.

00:03:11.640 I train year round.

00:03:12.740 That's my job.

00:03:13.540 I don't

00:03:17.620 When I didn't make money.

00:03:19.680 But now that this is my life,

00:03:21.100 This is everything I do for a living.

00:05:10.620 I swear to God,

00:05:11.260 I would rather clean the floors,

00:05:13.580 Than do that.

00:05:14.820 Because,

00:05:15.560 Every day,

00:05:16.700 Somebody was mad.

00:05:29.620 And I just,

00:05:30.180 You did snap.

00:05:30.900 And what happened on a man or woman?

00:05:33.320 A guy.

00:05:34.140 I would never snap on a lady. 1.00

00:05:35.860 Well,

00:05:36.280 Most of them,

00:05:36.960 I wouldn't.

00:05:37.480 But once in a while,

00:05:38.600 Maybe.

00:05:39.140 I'm a lover,

00:05:39.860 Yeah,

00:05:40.080 I'm like,

00:05:40.620 With the ladies,

00:05:41.260 All respect,

00:05:41.920 You know,

00:05:42.220 I can,

00:05:42.640 My dad teach me good manners,

00:05:44.220 But,

00:05:44.540 Yeah.

00:05:45.260 This guy was like,

00:05:46.840 Treating me like a piece of shit.

00:05:49.040 And,

00:05:49.460 Yeah,

00:05:49.560 I guess he was like a,

00:05:50.980 Like a big time lawyer,

00:05:52.220 Whatever.

00:05:52.940 And I just,

00:05:53.500 When he dropped,

00:05:54.360 He just throw the papers,

00:05:55.280 And when he was leaving,

00:05:55.940 I was just like,

00:05:56.480 Fuck you, 0.94

00:05:57.080 Asshole.

00:05:57.880 And he walked around,

00:05:59.420 But he didn't know,

00:06:00.120 I was a fighter.

00:06:01.600 Yeah.

00:06:01.920 I was a guy trying to be in the UFC one day,

00:06:04.420 And he came around like,

00:06:05.460 What did you say?

00:06:05.900 And I was like,

00:06:06.720 I was just like,

00:06:07.900 Dude,

00:06:09.020 You know,

00:06:09.480 It's not,

00:06:10.080 This is not your day,

00:06:11.040 Trust me.

00:06:11.420 Yeah.

00:06:11.800 And then he just walked away,

00:06:13.080 Basically saying,

00:06:13.680 I will kick your ass. 1.00

00:06:15.280 He wouldn't do shit.

00:06:16.740 But then that guy,

00:06:18.080 Was probably friends with,

00:06:19.800 Somebody high,

00:06:21.160 In the,

00:06:21.960 It's not a company,

00:06:22.700 It's a,

00:06:23.440 It's a building.

00:06:24.120 Just business world.

00:06:25.340 In a building,

00:06:25.880 Oh,

00:06:26.060 Fancy people,

00:06:26.780 Like rich people.

00:06:27.480 Yeah,

00:06:27.860 I guess.

00:06:28.440 And then,

00:06:28.880 I get kicked out,

00:06:29.760 In that moment.

00:06:30.620 You got kicked out,

00:06:31.240 But you didn't hit the guy.

00:06:32.240 No,

00:06:32.660 I wish I hit it,

00:06:33.880 Because I was getting kicked out anyway,

00:06:35.340 So I was like,

00:06:36.340 But when they,

00:06:37.140 When they kicked me,

00:06:38.480 I was like,

00:06:39.040 Thank God.

00:06:40.060 I just,

00:06:40.640 You know,

00:06:40.940 I just keep training.

00:06:41.580 You were free.

00:06:42.200 I was free,

00:06:42.900 But there was no money.

00:06:43.920 Right.

00:06:44.140 So I have to go back to my dad,

00:06:45.640 And basically,

00:06:46.100 Hey,

00:06:46.220 I need some help,

00:06:46.920 Like,

00:06:48.340 Help me.

00:06:48.800 And then,

00:06:49.560 My dad was like,

00:06:50.240 Okay,

00:06:50.400 I'm going to help you.

00:06:51.860 This is the last year I helped you.

00:06:53.280 I was like,

00:06:54.180 19.

00:06:55.420 But I was already married,

00:06:56.640 I already have a daughter.

00:06:57.560 So he was like,

00:06:58.060 Hey,

00:06:58.580 This is the last year,

00:06:59.300 I'm going to help you,

00:07:00.720 To get your fantasy,

00:07:02.020 UFC,

00:07:02.500 Whatever,

00:07:02.960 Your dream.

00:07:03.960 But,

00:07:04.880 When,

00:07:05.300 This December,

00:07:06.060 You're done with me.

00:07:07.560 And then either you work for me,

00:07:09.340 Like,

00:07:09.840 No training,

00:07:10.480 Just work for me.

00:07:11.820 Or you find whatever to do with your life.

00:07:14.900 And literally,

00:07:15.900 My dad put me at that,

00:07:17.060 Like,

00:07:17.400 This December,

00:07:18.160 You're done with me.

00:07:19.660 And the UFC called me in November.

00:07:21.320 Oof.

00:07:22.380 It was,

00:07:23.200 It was just meant to be.

00:07:24.560 Yeah.

00:07:25.260 It's life,

00:07:25.760 When you do so much for something,

00:07:27.840 You will fucking get it no matter what.

00:07:29.520 Yeah,

00:07:29.900 One of my friends used to say,

00:07:31.160 He used to ask me,

00:07:32.440 He said,

00:07:32.780 Have you ever worked really hard for something,

00:07:34.640 And not gotten it?

00:07:36.340 And the answer was no.

00:07:37.900 Like,

00:07:38.060 If it's something I really,

00:07:39.460 Really work for,

00:07:40.360 You get it.

00:07:40.640 You always get it.

00:07:41.440 It's impossible to,

00:07:42.520 If you don't get something,

00:07:44.420 If things,

00:07:45.100 If things don't go right in life,

00:07:47.180 It's because either you're not doing enough,

00:07:49.040 Or you're doing it wrong.

00:07:50.240 Oh.

00:07:50.620 There's no way you don't get there,

00:07:52.100 If you put everything together.

00:07:54.380 Preach.

00:07:54.540 There will be obstacles,

00:07:55.560 There will be bad days,

00:07:56.440 There will be setbacks,

00:07:58.600 But if you keep on going,

00:08:00.100 And you really want to make it happen,

00:08:03.580 It's just impossible not to happen.

00:08:05.120 Facts.

00:08:05.600 Wow.

00:08:06.240 That's powerful,

00:08:06.940 Man.

00:08:07.240 It is.

00:08:07.460 Well,

00:08:07.780 Especially coming from a guy like you,

00:08:09.080 Who's put that to the test in his own life.

00:08:11.820 You know,

00:08:12.040 You burn that candle,

00:08:13.420 And lit up your own future with it.

00:08:16.240 You know,

00:08:16.660 I heard you say on Joe Rogan's,

00:08:20.060 That there were times where you fought,

00:08:22.920 Where you didn't even want them to pay you.

00:08:25.320 Yes.

00:08:25.840 Because you just wanted to get your name out there.

00:08:28.840 100%.

00:08:29.280 Was,

00:08:30.280 Is one of the,

00:08:31.240 Like,

00:08:31.500 Why do you think you fight?

00:08:32.700 Like,

00:08:32.980 I think some people fight for different reasons.

00:08:34.940 This is just me.

00:08:35.700 You know,

00:08:36.120 Some people fight,

00:08:37.120 They want to be seen.

00:08:38.160 Some people,

00:08:39.160 They need to win.

00:08:41.040 Some people need to prove something.

00:08:43.420 Like,

00:08:43.900 Do you,

00:08:44.300 Do you know what it is inside of you that makes you?

00:08:47.760 Yeah,

00:08:48.240 I,

00:08:48.640 I love crazy shit.

00:08:51.260 Like,

00:08:51.540 When I was a little kid,

00:08:54.360 Like,

00:08:54.720 For example,

00:08:55.460 Let me start with this.

00:08:56.500 In my family,

00:08:58.060 I would call them the normal people.

00:09:00.000 Like,

00:09:00.220 My dad have a farm.

00:09:01.800 He worked the farm.

00:09:03.280 He figured out how to make money.

00:09:04.940 But,

00:09:05.420 Regular guy.

00:09:06.240 He will work in anywhere to provide for the family.

00:09:09.720 Right.

00:09:09.920 I saw that as a kid.

00:09:11.380 My mom,

00:09:12.480 She stay at home.

00:09:14.360 Make sure the house is clean and nice.

00:09:16.120 Make sure the kids,

00:09:17.600 Me and my two,

00:09:18.660 My brother and my sister,

00:09:19.500 We're good.

00:09:20.460 Like,

00:09:20.740 Just a normal family.

00:09:21.860 Just a good mother. 1.00

00:09:22.580 Sister and brother,

00:09:23.560 Graduate,

00:09:24.220 We're in college,

00:09:25.300 Have normal jobs.

00:09:26.660 You know,

00:09:27.620 And,

00:09:28.040 But when I was a kid,

00:09:28.940 I was just,

00:09:29.900 What happened to you?

00:09:30.240 Trying to find my dad guns and play with them,

00:09:32.980 Or,

00:09:34.100 Just jumping from,

00:09:35.420 Breaking my arm.

00:09:36.120 I was just looking for,

00:09:37.580 To do crazy shit.

00:09:38.540 And when I was a little kid,

00:09:39.840 I was a huge fan of like Rambo,

00:09:42.120 Or Chuck Norris.

00:09:43.220 And I was like,

00:09:43.880 I want to be like a Navy SEAL.

00:09:45.140 I want to be like a real, 0.99

00:09:46.700 Badass.

00:09:47.800 But,

00:09:48.680 Not offense to my country.

00:09:49.820 You go to the military network,

00:09:51.140 You're fucked.

00:09:51.820 Really?

00:09:52.120 We don't even have guns out there.

00:09:53.460 Like we have,

00:09:54.260 But,

00:09:54.760 What,

00:09:54.940 They have more swords maybe?

00:09:56.240 Yeah,

00:09:56.680 Maybe a couple machetes.

00:09:57.860 Yeah.

00:09:58.120 Like,

00:09:58.440 You know,

00:09:58.940 We don't have the Navy SEALs,

00:10:01.080 Like,

00:10:01.760 In here.

00:10:02.260 Like,

00:10:02.760 In here you got like,

00:10:04.160 Every single division,

00:10:06.760 And they're all like real killers.

00:10:08.740 It's organized.

00:10:09.080 We have a small army.

00:10:10.400 It's just different.

00:10:11.100 It's a third world country.

00:10:12.500 Yeah.

00:10:12.700 So,

00:10:12.960 I,

00:10:13.260 I was smart enough to be like,

00:10:15.320 Okay,

00:10:15.940 If I really want to do this,

00:10:18.140 Not in my country.

00:10:19.240 I love my country till then,

00:10:20.360 But,

00:10:20.820 It's just not for me.

00:10:21.980 The military.

00:10:22.860 The military.

00:10:23.440 So,

00:10:24.480 I will,

00:10:25.460 I will get in street fights all the time.

00:10:28.620 Like,

00:10:29.260 You know,

00:10:29.620 My cousins or my brother for fun will,

00:10:32.660 Homeless kids like, 1.00

00:10:33.460 Hey,

00:10:33.740 I give you a couple bucks and you fight my brother.

00:10:35.600 And for me it was a game.

00:10:37.000 We would get like,

00:10:37.920 It was an inspiration.

00:10:39.020 Did you lose sometimes?

00:10:39.900 Yeah.

00:10:40.080 I get my ass kicked a thousand times.

00:10:42.000 Did you ever fight any grown men or it was just children?

00:10:46.240 Most were my age,

00:10:48.160 But,

00:10:48.520 You know,

00:10:48.680 They live in the street.

00:10:49.540 They got more experience.

00:10:51.460 They got more everything.

00:10:52.960 I was like,

00:10:53.240 I was a kid from,

00:10:54.560 My mom would give me the foot in my mouth. 1.00

00:10:56.940 Those kids have to hustle for real. 0.99

00:10:58.400 Yeah,

00:10:58.640 Those kids,

00:10:59.100 They got a lot more like,

00:11:00.780 Hoof to mouth syndrome.

00:11:02.220 A lot of disease and stuff.

00:11:03.580 They got a lot.

00:11:04.820 They got a lot.

00:11:05.500 They got a lot.

00:11:06.360 And then,

00:11:07.000 I just like fighting.

00:11:09.420 And when I get to see Pride,

00:11:11.640 The UFC and everything else,

00:11:12.780 Like,

00:11:12.980 Well,

00:11:13.820 That's going to be my life.

00:11:15.300 I'm going to become a fighter one day.

00:11:16.900 Yeah,

00:11:17.060 I heard you talking about that.

00:11:18.000 Like,

00:11:18.120 Whenever you first saw it,

00:11:19.080 You're like,

00:11:19.380 Whoa,

00:11:19.620 This is a real thing.

00:11:20.700 And then it just beckoned you.

00:11:22.140 But,

00:11:22.360 So,

00:11:22.480 Do you think you fight because you just like anarchy kind of?

00:11:28.620 Do you like the insanity of it?

00:11:31.360 Do you?

00:11:31.640 I love all that.

00:11:33.000 I love the process.

00:11:34.200 I love the,

00:11:35.120 Even yesterday when I was watching the fights live,

00:11:37.160 I was like,

00:11:37.680 I was watching.

00:11:38.920 And I was like,

00:11:39.300 This is fucking crazy.

00:11:40.260 Like,

00:11:40.420 I'm an expectator to two fucking guys in a cage beating the shit of each other for money.

00:11:49.020 And of course,

00:11:49.660 You know,

00:11:49.880 Somebody,

00:11:50.260 People want to be famous.

00:11:51.320 People want to advance in life.

00:11:52.920 You want to meet the cool people you thought you would never met.

00:11:56.020 Whatever.

00:11:57.220 It's insane.

00:11:58.300 It's like the gladiators.

00:11:59.560 It's a cold scene.

00:12:00.300 It really is.

00:12:00.880 Two guys fighting till death.

00:12:02.500 And I'm pretty mean.

00:12:03.920 Like,

00:12:04.220 I'm not,

00:12:04.680 I'm not in there just to like,

00:12:06.720 Okay,

00:12:07.060 I want to be famous.

00:12:08.120 I want to fuck you up. 0.97

00:12:09.400 Yeah.

00:12:09.660 Outside the cage,

00:12:10.320 I will never get in a fight.

00:12:11.900 Unless,

00:12:12.760 The limits are like,

00:12:14.100 Pushed too much.

00:12:14.720 But,

00:12:15.400 I'm not even thinking about it.

00:12:17.300 I'm training all the time.

00:12:18.980 Is there fights like,

00:12:20.240 Is there a fight that you've,

00:12:21.480 That you've been in where you didn't,

00:12:23.660 You still obviously wanted to,

00:12:25.120 Where you obviously wanted to win the fight,

00:12:27.360 But the respect level was different against the guy you were fighting.

00:12:30.180 So,

00:12:30.420 It kind of,

00:12:31.820 It maybe wasn't the same type of like,

00:12:33.940 I'm going to kill this guy as much as I just want to win this match.

00:12:37.480 No,

00:12:37.960 I keep the same energy.

00:12:39.580 Like,

00:12:39.860 I fought guys like Aldo,

00:12:41.180 Frank,

00:12:41.440 Yeah,

00:12:41.600 Yeah,

00:12:42.380 Yeah.

00:12:42.660 Legend,

00:12:43.140 You know,

00:12:43.720 Everybody respect.

00:12:44.940 And for me,

00:12:45.700 It doesn't matter if the guy talks shit,

00:12:47.220 If the guy's a quiet guy,

00:12:49.060 If the guy want to shake hands,

00:12:50.500 It doesn't matter.

00:12:51.060 I just keep it up.

00:12:51.880 And,

00:12:52.720 I'm very honest.

00:12:53.560 I'm not in there to shake hands and bow to each other.

00:12:56.140 I'm like,

00:12:56.920 Yeah.

00:12:57.420 The catch is luck.

00:12:59.360 I'm going to make sure you're the one feeling bad afterwards.

00:13:02.540 Wow.

00:13:02.920 And I lost before.

00:13:04.180 When I lose a fight,

00:13:05.200 I can,

00:13:06.040 I cannot sleep for months.

00:13:07.700 Because I,

00:13:08.120 All I do is put everything to win.

00:13:11.680 You know,

00:13:12.120 It's an obsession.

00:13:13.060 Like,

00:13:13.920 Because of everything that comes with it.

00:13:15.860 Like,

00:13:16.020 It's the money to provide for the family,

00:13:18.460 My house.

00:13:19.460 Like,

00:13:20.140 I'm not just fighting because it's cool.

00:13:22.260 Right.

00:13:22.680 It's fucking right to fight.

00:13:23.740 You know,

00:13:23.900 The UFC is awesome.

00:13:25.400 Celebrities coming around.

00:13:26.360 Like,

00:13:26.640 People,

00:13:27.020 Like,

00:13:27.180 When I was a kid,

00:13:28.500 I would look up to now,

00:13:29.900 I'm friends with them.

00:13:31.100 The whole entire circle is cool.

00:13:34.000 But,

00:13:35.160 I like fighting.

00:13:37.040 That's your thing.

00:13:37.980 I like fighting.

00:13:38.640 Do you think that some fighters,

00:13:40.300 There's,

00:13:40.600 They start to lose that focus?

00:13:42.460 Do you think that there's guys,

00:13:43.520 It starts to get too much about the ambiance?

00:13:46.920 I think that,

00:13:48.000 Because it's definitely gained a lot of track.

00:13:49.920 Like,

00:13:50.140 There's a lot of,

00:13:50.740 I mean,

00:13:50.960 I was at,

00:13:52.260 I mean,

00:13:52.640 Who was there last night?

00:13:53.580 I'm sure there were.

00:13:54.380 Like,

00:13:54.400 I,

00:13:54.680 Like,

00:13:54.860 For example,

00:13:55.600 In,

00:13:55.980 From myself,

00:13:56.740 Like,

00:13:57.280 I,

00:13:58.100 Mike Jackson was there.

00:13:59.260 Wow.

00:13:59.580 Like,

00:13:59.760 We make eye contact,

00:14:00.780 And he kind of like,

00:14:01.480 Say hi,

00:14:01.800 And I was like,

00:14:02.400 Fuck,

00:14:02.840 That's a tiger of the universe right there.

00:14:04.820 I was like,

00:14:05.600 Holy shit.

00:14:06.480 Oh yeah,

00:14:06.580 That's a devil's Doberman boy.

00:14:08.260 I got a hundred percent.

00:14:10.080 I want to give him a hug,

00:14:11.180 But he was walking fast.

00:14:12.320 I was like,

00:14:13.000 I'm going to see him soon,

00:14:14.180 But whatever.

00:14:15.160 But like,

00:14:15.600 Johnny Knoxville was there.

00:14:16.760 Yeah.

00:14:17.100 That's a fucking legend too.

00:14:18.820 You kind of remind me of one of those guys,

00:14:20.960 You know,

00:14:21.100 Because they have that same thing inside of them.

00:14:24.040 When I was a kid,

00:14:25.780 And I used to,

00:14:27.060 Like,

00:14:27.340 I just cut my hair yesterday.

00:14:28.540 It was,

00:14:29.160 Like,

00:14:29.840 Almost double as yours.

00:14:31.100 You've had a lot of styles.

00:14:32.020 Bring up that photo,

00:14:32.720 Nick.

00:14:32.880 Can you bring it up?

00:14:34.120 Can you bring up that photo column I sent you?

00:14:36.260 I just cut,

00:14:37.220 Like,

00:14:37.520 The people changing passwords for different accounts.

00:14:41.560 Dude,

00:14:41.960 That's what you do with your hair? 0.93

00:14:43.200 I was like,

00:14:43.720 You change that password to your brain, huh?

00:14:45.240 Yesterday,

00:14:45.780 I was like,

00:14:46.740 I was looking at the mirror,

00:14:47.740 And my wife was like, 1.00

00:14:48.200 Don Carter,

00:14:48.700 You look good like that.

00:14:49.480 I was like,

00:14:49.600 It's not about looking good.

00:14:51.100 It's about being a new person.

00:14:52.820 And I was like,

00:14:53.200 You don't like to fuck a new guy every two weeks? 1.00

00:14:55.300 And she was just laughing about it.

00:14:56.820 Because I really change my hair,

00:14:58.320 Like,

00:14:58.480 Every four or six months.

00:15:00.660 Oh,

00:15:00.840 You've had a lot of different styles.

00:15:01.960 Do you have it,

00:15:02.620 Colin?

00:15:05.560 But going back to,

00:15:06.660 Like,

00:15:06.800 What you say about Johnny Knoxville,

00:15:09.440 Steve-O,

00:15:10.920 Everybody used to call me Steve-O when I was a kid.

00:15:13.000 Really?

00:15:13.320 Like,

00:15:13.500 She used to call me like,

00:15:14.620 Cheeto,

00:15:15.100 Like,

00:15:15.280 Because I would do just dumb shit.

00:15:16.700 Here you go.

00:15:17.300 Oh, shit.

00:15:17.820 This is definitely,

00:15:20.520 You could be,

00:15:21.620 You could be like a criminal who goes on the run,

00:15:23.920 You know,

00:15:24.180 You're hiding from the FBI.

00:15:26.460 You know,

00:15:27.100 When I was a kid,

00:15:29.260 Watching the guns,

00:15:30.600 Like,

00:15:30.880 The guns and movies from,

00:15:31.960 Like,

00:15:32.100 New York and shit,

00:15:32.680 I was like,

00:15:32.980 Oh,

00:15:33.340 That's a good avenue for myself.

00:15:36.300 I can,

00:15:36.740 I can be a great hitman.

00:15:38.400 Yeah,

00:15:38.820 A great hitman.

00:15:39.760 That's why I know my wife likes me. 1.00

00:15:41.700 He's a new guy every two months.

00:15:44.580 And I can make her laugh,

00:15:46.180 So,

00:15:48.340 Yeah.

00:15:48.920 Bro,

00:15:49.140 That might be the funniest thing anybody's ever said on this podcast.

00:15:52.160 That's so funny,

00:15:53.040 Oh,

00:15:53.460 Look,

00:15:57.340 That's a Viking.

00:15:58.560 That is a Viking.

00:16:00.180 Dangerous Viking.

00:16:00.940 This guy on the top left,

00:16:03.020 Maybe,

00:16:03.760 Business,

00:16:04.380 He might be a businessman,

00:16:05.880 Or like a rich grandson,

00:16:07.920 Wealthy son of like a rich man.

00:16:09.280 A poor little shit.

00:16:10.000 Yes,

00:16:10.620 Yes.

00:16:11.200 Yeah,

00:16:11.500 I see that.

00:16:12.220 The guy in the middle on the left,

00:16:13.680 Obviously,

00:16:14.320 Is going to prison.

00:16:15.480 Yeah,

00:16:16.020 He was caught with some crack and some shit.

00:16:19.300 The guy on the right in the middle now,

00:16:21.300 That guy is a conquistador,

00:16:22.980 Conquistador,

00:16:23.860 There you go.

00:16:24.760 Yeah.

00:16:25.340 Dude,

00:16:25.980 I'm surprised with this picture.

00:16:28.100 I never saw this one.

00:16:29.180 And the guy on the bottom,

00:16:30.120 Is that you on the bottom right?

00:16:31.360 Yeah,

00:16:31.700 That was before the Aldo fight.

00:16:33.500 Bro,

00:16:33.680 That was before Jesus Christ, 0.88

00:16:35.260 Bro,

00:16:35.360 That was a long time ago,

00:16:36.760 Man.

00:16:37.480 That looks like it's from like,

00:16:39.100 The prehistoric times.

00:16:40.480 Yeah,

00:16:40.820 I saw the water turn into wine.

00:16:43.580 Yeah,

00:16:44.060 I saw that.

00:16:46.000 Like,

00:16:46.420 You're from the jungle, 0.82

00:16:47.380 Man.

00:16:47.540 That's wild.

00:16:48.540 And dude,

00:16:49.020 I can tell you,

00:16:50.000 There's like,

00:16:50.560 At least six or seven missing here.

00:16:53.420 Oh,

00:16:53.580 Totally.

00:16:54.240 I have like,

00:16:55.400 Fully shaved head,

00:16:57.620 With and without beer.

00:16:59.220 Well,

00:16:59.420 Even the one,

00:17:00.140 When you were on Ariel Helwana,

00:17:01.380 You look like a guy just on a boat,

00:17:03.040 You know,

00:17:03.280 Like a guy from like a,

00:17:05.360 You're like that fist hippie, 1.00

00:17:07.040 Kind of,

00:17:07.380 You know,

00:17:07.720 Like,

00:17:07.940 I'm a hippie.

00:17:08.680 I'm a hippie.

00:17:09.760 I'm not worried about,

00:17:10.620 Like,

00:17:10.860 That's another thing about me.

00:17:13.220 I,

00:17:13.520 I'm not worried about,

00:17:15.380 The way I look.

00:17:16.640 I go by filming.

00:17:17.760 Like,

00:17:17.920 It doesn't matter like,

00:17:18.740 Who I'm gonna see,

00:17:20.200 Or who I'm hanging out with.

00:17:21.740 I don't change that like,

00:17:23.820 That's why I told Joe,

00:17:25.360 I'm a hippie.

00:17:26.500 Have you always been like that?

00:17:28.300 When I was a kid,

00:17:30.040 I guess it's different.

00:17:30.880 You can't really be a kid,

00:17:31.680 And be a hippie kind of.

00:17:32.400 Of course.

00:17:33.080 But I used to,

00:17:33.780 When I was a kid,

00:17:34.480 I used to be like,

00:17:35.380 Cowboy boots,

00:17:36.560 Blue jeans,

00:17:38.020 Jeans shirt.

00:17:39.120 But because I,

00:17:39.920 Because you were on a farm,

00:17:40.740 Your dad was on a farm,

00:17:41.460 Yeah.

00:17:41.580 Yeah,

00:17:41.860 Like,

00:17:42.120 I would be on a farm every week,

00:17:44.080 And so for me,

00:17:44.600 It was like,

00:17:45.560 That was the vibe for me,

00:17:46.700 And I love it.

00:17:47.700 Like,

00:17:48.240 I still have cowboy boots,

00:17:50.160 Like,

00:17:50.960 I like that.

00:17:52.080 But it's kind of hard,

00:17:53.580 Going surfing in the morning,

00:17:54.720 On cowboy boots.

00:17:55.460 It's like,

00:17:55.940 Yeah.

00:17:56.220 I got a flip over barefoot.

00:17:57.820 You don't show up to the water,

00:17:59.360 With your homies,

00:17:59.860 And you're with jeans and boots,

00:18:01.380 And I'm like,

00:18:01.760 Bro,

00:18:02.320 Are you okay?

00:18:02.960 You're like,

00:18:03.460 Good day,

00:18:03.900 Ocean.

00:18:04.360 Yeah,

00:18:04.700 You know what I'm saying?

00:18:05.460 Yeah,

00:18:05.640 That's wild.

00:18:05.940 So it's kind of,

00:18:06.940 It's hard to keep it up in Cali,

00:18:08.500 But,

00:18:08.760 They're there,

00:18:10.200 They're there safe for me.

00:18:12.580 When you were watching last night,

00:18:14.400 I know that,

00:18:15.020 That Stammen fight, 0.87

00:18:16.320 And the Nurmagomedov, 0.96

00:18:17.460 That guy.

00:18:18.300 That's a good fight.

00:18:19.080 Yeah,

00:18:19.220 And they say he's not related,

00:18:20.440 They're related,

00:18:21.120 Somebody's lying.

00:18:22.540 These guys are related.

00:18:24.320 Yeah.

00:18:24.660 You can't be the same name,

00:18:26.860 Yeah.

00:18:27.420 And coming into the UFC right there.

00:18:30.040 No,

00:18:30.360 They're cousins.

00:18:31.400 Somebody's cousins.

00:18:32.320 They're something.

00:18:33.260 They're something.

00:18:34.660 Somebody definitely has seen somebody naked in the family,

00:18:37.560 You know?

00:18:38.080 Yeah.

00:18:38.860 When you watch that fight,

00:18:40.060 Do you think that there was anything else that Cody could have done to give himself a chance?

00:18:43.800 Or do you think that there was just-

00:18:44.960 I,

00:18:46.400 Seeing,

00:18:47.520 Because I'm a,

00:18:48.480 I'm a fucking nerd.

00:18:49.400 I'm watching,

00:18:50.160 I know all these guys.

00:18:51.680 I,

00:18:51.800 I watched them fight the last couple of fights.

00:18:54.260 And,

00:18:55.240 Cody,

00:18:55.740 I think he tried too hard to wrestle.

00:19:00.180 But it's also,

00:19:01.100 I think like,

00:19:01.960 He don't,

00:19:02.760 It's not like you need to like to be hit.

00:19:04.680 But you know,

00:19:05.040 Some guys get hit and they turn up.

00:19:06.760 Like for example,

00:19:07.300 Brandon Moreno,

00:19:07.860 You can crack that motherfucker with a baseball bat and he will fire back at you. 0.89

00:19:12.480 Cody Simon get crack in the face and he's almost like he goes into panic mode.

00:19:15.840 Like when he fought Jimmy Rivera,

00:19:17.200 He was doing well.

00:19:18.600 And Jimmy Rivera landed a big right hand and he was like,

00:19:21.420 Oh shit,

00:19:21.760 Let me wrestle you. 1.00

00:19:22.660 And then it's almost like fighting is energy.

00:19:25.140 I mean,

00:19:25.240 Like as soon as I crack you and you're going to fuck you, 1.00

00:19:28.800 It's like,

00:19:29.260 Okay,

00:19:30.040 I'm in a real fight.

00:19:31.180 But if you crack somebody and the person is like,

00:19:33.680 You know what?

00:19:35.540 Let's not do this.

00:19:36.720 You can feel the energy.

00:19:38.020 Oh,

00:19:38.140 You can.

00:19:38.540 Oh,

00:19:39.000 A hundred percent.

00:19:39.700 I've been there many times and I've been here and I'm like,

00:19:43.260 Fuck you, 0.94

00:19:44.220 dude.

00:19:44.300 I'm going to make your mom cry right now. 1.00

00:19:46.120 Is it hard when you get hit?

00:19:47.620 Say you take a good shot,

00:19:48.760 right?

00:19:49.440 And you've been pretty,

00:19:50.420 I mean,

00:19:50.620 dude,

00:19:51.060 one thing that's amazing about you,

00:19:52.420 you never,

00:19:53.360 the only,

00:19:53.820 your only losses have been by decision.

00:19:55.540 Yeah.

00:19:55.960 Thank God.

00:19:57.120 Unbelievable.

00:19:57.700 But is it,

00:19:58.740 I,

00:19:59.000 I,

00:19:59.300 I credit that to my work ethic.

00:20:01.180 I credit that to the way I eat in and out of camp.

00:20:04.140 I credit that to my recovery.

00:20:06.200 I go to bed at nine 30,

00:20:08.700 10,

00:20:08.940 like last night after the fight,

00:20:10.640 it was like 11 and everybody was like,

00:20:13.460 okay,

00:20:13.880 time to party.

00:20:14.740 Let's go to the club.

00:20:15.440 I'm like,

00:20:16.160 I'm not celebrating shit tonight.

00:20:17.780 Right.

00:20:18.100 Like,

00:20:18.600 what am I celebrating?

00:20:19.640 Yeah.

00:20:20.300 And even like me and Moreno share the same manager.

00:20:23.400 They asked me,

00:20:23.780 you want to come to after party?

00:20:25.280 And,

00:20:25.400 we lost our draw.

00:20:26.700 I like him.

00:20:27.260 I respect him.

00:20:27.760 I'm like,

00:20:28.280 yeah,

00:20:28.460 but we're not even trying to get it.

00:20:30.600 Like I went with the fights with my coach.

00:20:33.040 We want to,

00:20:33.780 we want to straight back home.

00:20:34.660 And I was like,

00:20:36.280 on Sundays I do long distance run,

00:20:37.880 like 13 miles.

00:20:38.760 So I was like,

00:20:39.840 that's what I have to do tomorrow.

00:20:41.180 And I set for it.

00:20:43.280 But,

00:20:44.640 the reason I feel I don't get a stop or anything like that,

00:20:47.620 it's just because I'm my consistency.

00:20:49.860 And mentally,

00:20:50.760 I know if I work like that,

00:20:53.460 how somebody will just come and run through me.

00:20:56.040 So,

00:20:56.920 I just keep the same work ethic and it pay the price.

00:21:00.880 Roses are red,

00:21:01.980 violets are blue.

00:21:12.740 Not at this age.

00:21:15.220 And that's probably good.

00:21:17.020 You know,

00:23:53.160 It's almost like it feels like you're in the cage,

00:23:55.780 even when you're not in the cage.

00:23:58.420 That's kind of the energy.

00:24:00.140 I live like that.

00:24:01.540 And I'm,

00:24:02.040 I'm always thinking I,

00:24:03.860 I sort of got to wake up every morning thinking I'm going to have a tough fight coming up.

00:24:08.380 I don't,

00:24:09.080 I don't let none of this cloud or every fight you get to get more known by the world.

00:24:15.260 I don't let none of that come to me.

00:24:16.880 Like I enjoy it.

00:24:18.100 It's cool.

00:24:18.580 I make money.

00:24:19.780 I get bigger fights.

00:24:21.560 I get a recognition.

00:24:23.000 I get to hang out with people I love,

00:24:25.240 but fighters,

00:24:27.120 I think it's the only sport.

00:24:28.740 There's other ones,

00:24:29.440 but I think it's the only one that you can not fuck around.

00:24:32.540 I know surfers that parry,

00:24:34.740 go hard.

00:24:35.260 The next day they win a hit.

00:24:36.760 I know guys,

00:24:37.580 I know soccer players.

00:24:39.200 They're fucking going crazy.

00:24:41.260 Doing coke,

00:24:42.120 doing whatever,

00:24:42.960 partying,

00:24:43.660 eating fucking yogurt,

00:24:45.320 they look fucking good.

00:24:46.600 Diet,

00:24:47.040 whatever,

00:24:47.480 sugar.

00:24:47.820 They look fucking great.

00:24:50.780 Basketball,

00:24:51.260 I don't know,

00:24:51.780 no one there,

00:24:52.700 but I'm sure you can drink a little bit before the game.

00:24:55.540 Oh,

00:24:55.840 I think a lot of those guys,

00:24:57.460 I'm friends with Blake Griffin,

00:24:58.480 and he said they had a guy on his team used to smoke cigarettes before the game,

00:25:01.640 man.

00:25:01.920 See,

00:25:02.660 fighting is too gnarly to fuck around.

00:25:04.660 Fighting is too crazy.

00:25:06.340 You're in a cage.

00:25:07.540 The energy,

00:25:08.240 it's only one against one.

00:25:09.500 And it's too much to risk.

00:25:13.100 Is there an animal that you ever see that reminds you of you?

00:25:17.200 Like that reminds you of fighters?

00:25:19.680 I'm a monkey.

00:25:20.900 Yeah?

00:25:21.800 Crazy,

00:25:22.560 energetic monkey.

00:25:24.680 You've always felt like that?

00:25:25.780 My whole life.

00:25:26.700 Oh,

00:25:26.880 that's right.

00:25:27.240 When I was a kid,

00:25:28.080 I was really good at climbing trees.

00:25:30.360 Like,

00:25:30.480 I would love to get in the top of the mango trees and just chill there.

00:25:34.300 I would like sit on,

00:25:35.980 like on the top of a root for like hours and just chill there.

00:25:40.500 Like,

00:25:40.640 yeah.

00:25:41.100 Dude,

00:25:41.300 the views are,

00:25:42.260 fuck.

00:25:43.140 It's beautiful.

00:25:43.900 Do they have,

00:25:44.660 and they have,

00:25:45.120 do people,

00:25:45.720 is monkey like a food even in Ecuador?

00:25:48.020 No,

00:25:48.640 we just eat cows and fucking pork.

00:25:51.640 We don't fuck around.

00:25:52.380 We don't eat dogs.

00:25:53.300 We don't eat nothing.

00:25:54.200 Nothing wild?

00:25:54.880 No.

00:25:55.720 Like if,

00:25:56.120 like if you go to the,

00:25:57.680 I heard like a guy that used to work for me that they used to eat a snakes,

00:26:01.720 but fuck.

00:26:03.040 I think that's just more for fun.

00:26:04.860 In one town in Ecuador,

00:26:06.020 they eat something called kui.

00:26:08.580 Is it sausage?

00:26:09.160 It's basically a rat.

00:26:09.900 Oh,

00:26:10.100 it's rat?

00:26:10.700 It's like,

00:26:11.040 it looks like a rat to me.

00:26:12.060 Damn.

00:26:12.600 And I've been in that town and they're like,

00:26:14.380 you want to,

00:26:14.820 I'm like,

00:26:15.440 no.

00:26:16.320 Oh,

00:26:16.680 it tastes delicious.

00:26:17.320 I don't give a fuck.

00:26:18.760 Right.

00:26:18.940 A steak tastes delicious too,

00:26:20.120 and I'm sticking to that.

00:26:21.920 I,

00:26:22.400 I leave the kui aside. 1.00

00:26:24.020 I don't fuck around there.

00:26:25.340 Yeah.

00:26:25.720 Yeah.

00:26:25.900 You never seen a cow in a,

00:26:27.640 in a dumpster,

00:26:28.560 you know?

00:26:29.260 Yeah.

00:26:29.660 That's the thing,

00:26:30.460 you know?

00:26:30.700 That's true too.

00:26:31.840 Um,

00:26:32.940 what were we talking about?

00:26:33.940 Oh,

00:26:34.120 we're,

00:26:34.280 so we were talking about that fight.

00:26:35.140 Do you think that there was anything that Stamman could have done to get out,

00:26:37.960 to get in a better situation there?

00:26:39.420 I think when he hit the single,

00:26:41.820 it was almost like he don't hit the single to take him down.

00:26:45.180 It was more to don't get hit.

00:26:46.700 And that's why probably it was so easy to sing the choke.

00:26:50.280 And let's be also honest,

00:26:52.060 those Russian guys came pretty prepared.

00:26:55.200 They're like a necktie,

00:26:56.400 bro.

00:26:56.560 They fucking.

00:26:57.200 This,

00:26:57.360 this Nurmagomedov in specific have a really good spinning wheel kick.

00:27:01.600 So like he hit him,

00:27:02.840 he started a fight with two hard ones.

00:27:04.680 Like the moment somebody do that to you,

00:27:07.020 I saw he get the hair a little bit and he kind of like,

00:27:08.980 was like,

00:27:09.380 fuck you throw that to, 0.98

00:27:11.480 to me.

00:27:12.060 I'm in your face.

00:27:12.960 I'm like,

00:27:13.300 I'm going to try to take your head off right away because it's energy. 0.94

00:27:16.780 Like if somebody hit you that hard and you kind of like,

00:27:19.640 don't do nothing about it.

00:27:21.280 You let them get a step ahead.

00:27:22.580 You let them get a step ahead.

00:27:23.400 You know what I'm saying?

00:27:23.940 So,

00:27:24.220 no,

00:27:24.420 I do see what you're saying.

00:27:25.400 Like,

00:27:25.600 I mean,

00:27:25.800 I don't know.

00:27:26.360 I mean,

00:27:26.540 you know,

00:27:27.060 like,

00:27:27.480 uh,

00:27:28.700 but I know what you're saying.

00:27:30.200 Like,

00:27:30.400 I always wonder,

00:27:31.820 yeah,

00:27:32.100 what the energy is like in there because we just see the fight,

00:27:35.540 you know,

00:27:36.060 it's hard to get an idea of what that mano,

00:27:39.320 we mano,

00:27:40.000 like it's a conditioning.

00:27:41.460 Like you have to pretend sometimes do you have to almost like,

00:27:44.340 you have to keep this force field up.

00:27:45.920 Even if there's something that hurt,

00:27:47.380 do you have to like keep an energy right there?

00:27:49.920 I'm going to say that it's okay to be her.

00:27:51.420 Like we're not invisible.

00:27:52.980 We got,

00:27:53.920 we're not made for fighting,

00:27:55.460 but once you decide that you're going to be your life,

00:27:58.440 the moment you get hurt,

00:27:59.720 you got to either go for a walk,

00:28:02.800 you got to either step on the gas,

00:28:04.980 but you cannot just try to avoid the fight because your opponent will notice that.

00:28:10.460 No,

00:28:10.840 it's,

00:28:11.200 you can't hide it.

00:28:12.600 It's almost like you can see the colors like,

00:28:14.280 like,

00:28:14.540 like,

00:28:14.580 like Mortal Kombat,

00:28:15.320 you know,

00:28:15.500 when you get hit goes down,

00:28:16.760 it's almost like you can sense that.

00:28:19.800 wow.

00:28:20.340 I'm really good.

00:28:21.660 At least with that,

00:28:22.400 I can,

00:28:22.720 I can tell when my opponent,

00:28:24.100 it's ready to die.

00:28:25.880 Like it's,

00:28:26.380 it's a hard fucking guy or it's a guy that is kind of like, 0.94

00:28:28.940 you know what?

00:28:30.200 You can take me out today.

00:28:31.340 I'm going to leave another day.

00:28:32.540 Wow.

00:28:33.020 You do control that because you can be winning in a fight and the other guy land one.

00:28:38.300 And then the guy that is winning kind of wobble.

00:28:40.540 You can see how that thing shifts like completely move.

00:28:43.920 And then that's when you have to like,

00:28:46.400 even when you hurt,

00:28:47.400 you,

00:28:47.760 you have to learn how to fight.

00:28:49.800 The worst thing is when somebody gets hurt,

00:28:51.420 they start swinging.

00:28:52.000 I'm like,

00:28:52.640 Oh,

00:28:53.160 protect yourself before you start swinging.

00:28:54.920 Yeah.

00:28:55.340 But,

00:28:55.720 you know,

00:28:56.580 not everybody got a,

00:28:58.360 got the brain pretty focused at the moment.

00:29:00.540 Most people is fit,

00:29:02.080 but how many people is actually training their minds to be ready?

00:29:06.500 Ready,

00:29:06.980 especially when they're in real turmoil,

00:29:09.560 when they're really pained out.

00:29:10.980 Yeah.

00:29:11.620 Like I've been hurt before.

00:29:13.120 I've been hurt like in the head,

00:29:16.020 in the body.

00:29:16.940 I mean,

00:29:17.180 like somebody throw a low kick and I feel my knees like completely dead.

00:29:21.440 And I'm like,

00:29:22.240 you got to figure it out.

00:29:23.260 You got to make sure you figure it out.

00:29:25.780 And you can only do that if you're prepared to be there.

00:29:29.900 Like some people,

00:29:31.420 I see some people don't really training for a family.

00:29:33.380 What are you doing?

00:29:34.100 Yeah.

00:29:34.780 Go do something else.

00:29:35.900 Right.

00:29:36.180 Why get your ass kicked in front of the whole world just because you're a fucking lazy fuck?

00:29:40.880 Who was the best fighter you ever trained with?

00:29:43.120 That didn't train that hard.

00:29:44.420 Do you think?

00:29:45.020 Because you've trained with some interesting cats,

00:29:46.740 man.

00:29:46.940 Yeah.

00:29:47.440 I've been,

00:29:48.220 I shared much with really high level people.

00:29:52.900 I think all the good guys I train with,

00:29:57.560 they all have a pretty set mentality of like,

00:30:02.100 this is it for me.

00:30:03.000 Like I'm not,

00:30:03.760 I'm not going to in and out after sparring.

00:30:06.320 Right.

00:30:07.180 And honestly with me,

00:30:09.000 if you are a person that you're not trying to be on top of your game,

00:30:14.080 it's almost like I stopped hanging out with you.

00:30:15.840 Like I don't,

00:30:17.460 I don't,

00:30:17.940 I don't do it in a mean way,

00:30:19.300 but I'm like,

00:30:20.020 if you're not willing to be better and I leave the people around you,

00:30:25.200 I'm just not interested in you.

00:30:26.700 Like I just literally,

00:30:28.320 you just want to get better.

00:30:29.180 I just want to get better in everything in life.

00:30:31.120 Like you just be,

00:30:32.260 be a better person,

00:30:33.240 be nice to people,

00:30:34.000 be kind,

00:30:34.460 you know,

00:30:34.720 you can be a world champion.

00:30:36.040 And if you treat like shit,

00:30:37.020 everybody,

00:30:37.880 I don't want to hang out with you.

00:30:39.020 I don't want to be around that shit because it's like,

00:30:42.940 even if I'm not like that and I let you be like that,

00:30:46.100 I'm part of it.

00:30:46.980 So in more,

00:30:48.820 in all senses,

00:30:49.640 like I just want to be around people that is happy and he's just doing

00:30:54.660 something to be better.

00:30:55.920 Like that.

00:30:56.680 Cause yeah,

00:30:57.260 cause that is,

00:30:57.840 that'll only elevate you.

00:30:59.180 Wow.

00:30:59.640 That's powerful.

00:31:00.020 It's only elevate you.

00:31:00.840 Like I don't,

00:31:01.460 I don't want to waste my time.

00:31:02.840 Like even if you are a famous person and you're a piece of shit,

00:31:06.220 I'm like,

00:31:06.620 I don't want to be part of that.

00:31:08.860 Yeah.

00:31:09.540 It's not worth it.

00:31:10.940 There's no reward in that.

00:31:12.100 So for me,

00:31:13.560 it's,

00:31:13.800 it's more about that than anything else.

00:31:16.740 When you look at like where you're at now with fighting and you look at,

00:31:20.660 um,

00:31:21.700 your division,

00:31:22.460 is there,

00:31:23.520 is there a fight that kind of tempts you?

00:31:26.020 Is there a fight?

00:31:26.620 Like,

00:31:26.920 I know people talk about Cruz,

00:31:28.680 people talk about O'Malley,

00:31:30.100 people talk about,

00:31:31.080 um,

00:31:32.440 who's up there.

00:31:33.400 Sanhagen's in your division,

00:31:34.400 isn't he?

00:31:34.740 Yes.

00:31:34.960 I love.

00:31:35.460 I think,

00:31:36.200 I think that was a fight to make.

00:31:38.720 I get offered Sanhagen February 19th.

00:31:41.260 Really?

00:31:41.680 Main event.

00:31:42.240 And it never happened.

00:31:44.400 I definitely don't think he run away from the fight.

00:31:48.040 He's a,

00:31:48.500 he's a solid fighter,

00:31:49.980 but I think he's hurt or something like that.

00:31:52.560 So.

00:31:53.020 He may need more time.

00:31:53.680 He just had that big,

00:31:54.520 he had a big fight against Jan.

00:31:55.800 Yeah.

00:31:56.100 That was a great fight.

00:31:57.140 That was a great fight.

00:31:57.960 But maybe he needs surgery.

00:31:59.640 I don't know.

00:32:00.600 But when they offered me that,

00:32:02.880 it didn't take me like a minute to say like,

00:32:04.700 you send the contract.

00:32:06.020 And then that never happened.

00:32:07.320 So I don't want to waste time.

00:32:09.380 I'm ready to go.

00:32:10.480 Right.

00:32:10.820 Do you feel like you get enough fights?

00:32:12.480 And,

00:32:12.580 and.

00:32:13.840 Yeah.

00:32:14.240 I fight three,

00:32:15.100 three times a year.

00:32:16.140 Normally this past year I did twice.

00:32:18.700 But when you get to the point,

00:32:20.560 like you're fighting like Edgar,

00:32:22.260 all those guys.

00:32:23.280 Yeah.

00:32:23.500 You're.

00:32:24.820 You can fight six times a year.

00:32:26.460 You're fighting the top guys.

00:32:28.140 You have to just wait for the top guys.

00:32:29.800 Right.

00:32:30.140 Because there's guys that they're not ranked.

00:32:32.660 And when I wasn't ranked,

00:32:34.040 the guys in the top 10 don't want to fight me.

00:32:36.180 There's no reward.

00:32:37.080 Right.

00:32:37.320 And I get it.

00:32:37.960 It's a business.

00:32:38.500 So I don't,

00:32:39.900 I don't cry about it in near end.

00:32:42.780 Even when I,

00:32:43.520 when I was low or when I'm high.

00:32:45.140 So now I just got to wait for a top five guy or something that,

00:32:49.080 that makes sense.

00:32:50.120 And what fight is ahead?

00:32:51.060 What fight is still ahead?

00:32:52.180 Cause I don't even know if there's any Bantamweight fights on the docket

00:32:54.520 right now.

00:32:54.860 Are there?

00:32:55.400 No,

00:32:55.800 not right now.

00:32:56.520 Like I think,

00:32:57.400 um,

00:32:58.880 the dog is firing more eyes,

00:33:00.260 but they're below me anyway.

00:33:02.620 Uh,

00:33:03.460 the only guys ahead of me is Merab,

00:33:05.440 Font,

00:33:06.100 Sandhagen,

00:33:07.880 Aldo and Cruz.

00:33:08.900 Yeah.

00:33:09.520 And Cruz,

00:33:10.360 he crying like three,

00:33:11.660 four times already.

00:33:13.220 He's he,

00:33:14.320 you,

00:33:14.560 you guys aren't going to fight.

00:33:15.560 You don't think?

00:33:16.060 Oh,

00:33:16.400 they call me.

00:33:17.380 They offer us to fight multiple times.

00:33:19.780 He's an interesting guy.

00:33:20.900 Isn't he?

00:33:21.100 He's kind of like,

00:33:21.740 um,

00:33:22.140 he reminds me of like,

00:33:23.640 uh,

00:33:24.220 he almost reminds me of Tom Cruz,

00:33:25.980 the actor.

00:33:26.520 And we're cause he like,

00:33:27.680 he's had a great career.

00:33:29.120 You know,

00:33:29.520 he's had all these,

00:33:30.220 he's had a really illustrious career,

00:33:31.680 long career.

00:33:32.380 And he's also this kind of like unique,

00:33:34.880 mysterious kind of dude,

00:33:36.360 you know,

00:33:36.860 he,

00:33:37.640 when I hear him talk,

00:33:39.040 he sounds,

00:33:40.580 he sounds too smart.

00:33:41.680 Like he tried to like say perfect things and be perfect.

00:33:45.480 And he take his time.

00:33:47.320 But,

00:33:47.760 um,

00:33:48.180 I don't know him personally.

00:33:49.360 Like we do the commentary.

00:33:50.980 He does in English.

00:33:51.620 I go in Spanish.

00:33:52.480 So we cross paths often.

00:33:55.020 And I call him out all the time,

00:33:56.380 but I just keep it real.

00:33:58.460 When I see him,

00:33:59.400 I say,

00:33:59.700 I say,

00:34:00.040 what's up?

00:34:00.440 You know,

00:34:00.680 if he's a fuck you, 0.99

00:34:01.540 then I guess we're fighting.

00:34:02.720 Right.

00:34:03.280 He's not like that in any way.

00:34:05.040 But you think he wants that fight?

00:34:06.360 Maybe there's,

00:34:06.980 cause for him at this point,

00:34:08.540 it's kind of,

00:34:09.000 what does he want to do really?

00:34:10.900 For honestly,

00:34:12.240 a guy like that,

00:34:12.920 I'm guessing he's just,

00:34:13.940 he's just one big fight.

00:34:15.440 Right.

00:34:15.960 But,

00:34:16.940 you know,

00:34:17.820 he is coming off a win.

00:34:19.160 I'm coming off a win.

00:34:20.280 I think makes sense.

00:34:21.700 Because it's just,

00:34:22.320 I think he's number,

00:34:23.040 he's six or something like that.

00:34:24.360 He's not too high up there.

00:34:26.320 But they offer us to fight three times already.

00:34:29.720 And he just declined it.

00:34:31.540 So when somebody declined it that much,

00:34:33.200 I'm not,

00:34:33.440 I'm not losing my time.

00:34:34.620 Right.

00:34:34.760 You can't keep calling it.

00:34:35.720 Maybe it's just not what they want.

00:34:37.480 Especially if maybe,

00:34:38.480 yeah,

00:34:38.720 you don't,

00:34:39.220 sometimes you don't know,

00:34:39.760 I guess maybe what the fighter's plan is

00:34:41.360 or what their path is.

00:34:42.460 Yeah.

00:34:42.920 That's why like,

00:34:43.960 I'm,

00:34:45.360 I tell them like,

00:34:46.300 just,

00:34:46.740 just send me the contract with anybody higher than me

00:34:49.480 and,

00:34:49.780 and it's all like,

00:34:51.460 it's either a striker or a wrestler.

00:34:53.020 And I'm training everything.

00:34:54.420 So I'm not worried about specific things.

00:34:57.460 We had a question that came in here,

00:34:58.940 right here.

00:35:01.700 Here we go.

00:35:03.660 I can see it that good,

00:35:04.560 but you'll be able to see it enough,

00:35:05.560 I think.

00:35:07.180 Oh,

00:35:07.360 we're going to need the headphones for this.

00:35:08.620 Yes,

00:35:09.000 sir.

00:35:09.320 We can hear him for sure.

00:35:10.700 What's up,

00:35:13.960 Cheeto?

00:35:15.480 Oh,

00:35:16.020 and Theo.

00:35:16.840 Cheeto,

00:35:17.360 Theo.

00:35:18.040 Theo,

00:35:18.360 Cheeto.

00:35:18.920 I don't know.

00:35:20.280 I just wanted to ask this,

00:35:21.900 that fight against Sean O'Malley.

00:35:23.940 Every single time I just keep,

00:35:25.980 not talking,

00:35:26.940 but hearing about it.

00:35:27.840 And I have to keep talking about how,

00:35:30.380 honestly,

00:35:31.180 you won the fight.

00:35:32.140 so my question is,

00:35:35.520 when are you going to get the belt?

00:35:38.160 When are you going to go for the belt?

00:35:39.260 To be honest,

00:35:39.820 that's the real question.

00:35:41.940 But no,

00:35:42.780 yeah,

00:35:43.020 honestly,

00:35:43.580 Cheeto,

00:35:43.900 I'm a huge fan.

00:35:46.100 I think,

00:35:46.720 you just kind of answered that really too.

00:35:48.520 I think even just like you were saying,

00:35:50.460 the only,

00:35:51.060 yeah,

00:35:51.240 what would the path for you to get to the belt be like?

00:35:54.400 I wonder.

00:35:55.660 I believe at the moment,

00:35:57.760 if I get a fight with somebody in the top five,

00:36:02.160 I'm a fight away from there.

00:36:03.420 Because either my fight with Aldo,

00:36:06.280 even if I lost that fight by decision,

00:36:08.940 coming to the third round,

00:36:10.700 he was pretty defeated.

00:36:11.780 He was very tired.

00:36:13.320 And after that,

00:36:15.080 I get too cocky.

00:36:16.280 I get too excited.

00:36:16.920 And I pay the price of that.

00:36:18.560 I went too hard,

00:36:19.300 too fast.

00:36:20.120 He took my back,

00:36:21.020 and he held me there.

00:36:22.400 So I will never sit down,

00:36:24.500 and I'm putting excuses.

00:36:26.480 Like,

00:36:26.540 oh,

00:36:26.660 he just held me down.

00:36:27.480 No,

00:36:27.780 I'm the idiot that couldn't get out.

00:36:32.040 Yeah.

00:36:32.600 And I put myself in that position.

00:36:34.520 So I used to take it like a man.

00:36:36.860 And I definitely work on that.

00:36:38.460 I've been,

00:36:39.000 I took like six months working on,

00:36:42.440 don't get hold in that specific position.

00:36:45.040 And I believe I figured it out.

00:36:46.560 Even when Frankie took my back,

00:36:48.220 I was like out quick.

00:36:50.360 So that was something that I'm glad I fixed.

00:36:53.560 I fixed.

00:36:54.520 An improvement,

00:36:55.340 yeah.

00:36:55.640 And after that,

00:36:56.280 Aldo went and kicks,

00:36:57.900 funds us.

00:36:59.540 He beat up Munoz pretty well.

00:37:01.560 So that just put me in a good position,

00:37:03.640 because he couldn't do none of that to me.

00:37:05.700 Against you,

00:37:05.980 yeah.

00:37:06.300 So that can set us up for a rematch easily.

00:37:11.040 I feel,

00:37:12.460 I can do a fight for tower elimination with him,

00:37:15.480 or I can just fight somebody like Merab,

00:37:18.000 that is a tough wrestler.

00:37:19.480 And nobody can beat him lately.

00:37:23.300 And he can take you down and hold you down.

00:37:25.220 So if I go in there and I just put him out,

00:37:28.960 like simple,

00:37:29.500 because no one called him out.

00:37:31.220 Right.

00:37:31.400 For reasons.

00:37:32.700 He's not popular.

00:37:34.660 He's boring.

00:37:35.800 But he's effective.

00:37:36.800 He wins.

00:37:37.380 Right.

00:37:37.660 He don't talk shit,

00:37:38.640 but he wins.

00:37:39.280 Right.

00:37:39.460 So if I go in there and just clean cut,

00:37:43.460 put him out,

00:37:44.900 stomp him. 1.00

00:37:45.620 Yeah.

00:37:46.140 Okay.

00:37:47.440 That's how you,

00:37:49.200 that's the crazy shit that you do. 0.73

00:37:51.100 And people is like,

00:37:51.920 fuck,

00:37:52.160 this guy's real.

00:37:52.880 Right.

00:37:53.100 Because I'm not worried about anybody.

00:37:55.460 It's not like,

00:37:56.180 some fighters are like,

00:37:57.300 they have a path to the title

00:37:58.720 that is very well done.

00:38:01.400 Like,

00:38:01.800 okay,

00:38:02.140 fight this guy.

00:38:02.820 He's a heavy puncher.

00:38:03.880 Okay.

00:38:04.260 Clinch him. 0.99

00:38:05.160 Okay.

00:38:05.380 Now you're fighting a good grappler.

00:38:06.660 Don't go to the ground.

00:38:07.660 Right.

00:38:08.240 I'm willing to fight good or bad fights

00:38:10.860 because I know one thing.

00:38:12.220 If you're ready,

00:38:13.380 you have a chance to put him out.

00:38:14.860 You have a chance to get away with something.

00:38:17.640 I'm not worried about the striker

00:38:19.580 or the wrestler

00:38:20.680 because I do it all.

00:38:23.700 Do you ever,

00:38:24.460 sometime you're in there,

00:38:25.360 do you ever forget that you,

00:38:26.780 do you like kicking or punching more?

00:38:28.360 That's one.

00:38:28.780 Sometimes I'm always wondering,

00:38:29.760 do you,

00:38:30.100 these guys like to kick more or punch more?

00:38:32.100 Do you ever forget that?

00:38:33.280 Well,

00:38:33.640 we'll answer that first.

00:38:34.460 You like to kick or punch more.

00:38:36.220 I like both.

00:38:37.320 I don't,

00:38:37.860 like now that I'm with Parillo,

00:38:39.480 he's a great boxer.

00:38:41.340 I feel my punches are getting pretty crisp

00:38:43.600 and that just helped my kicks to be better

00:38:45.800 because if I can punch you, 0.89

00:38:47.660 I can,

00:38:48.000 like some people have no punching

00:38:50.380 and just kick, 0.99

00:38:51.320 right?

00:38:51.600 Yeah.

00:38:51.820 but then when somebody put a good combo

00:38:53.640 and then they get clipped.

00:38:55.640 So I feel like now that I,

00:38:56.920 I get my boxing,

00:38:58.260 my bass pretty good,

00:38:59.620 I can kick better than before

00:39:01.180 just because I fix little mechanics with him

00:39:04.440 and I feel like I'm very complete now.

00:39:08.560 I feel like there are things like people

00:39:09.720 who want to take me down now,

00:39:11.040 which I trained with one of the best people

00:39:14.040 in the world,

00:39:14.540 in the ground anyway,

00:39:15.220 so I'm not even,

00:39:16.680 I'm just not worried.

00:39:17.660 Right.

00:39:17.960 Like I'm,

00:39:18.400 and there are things like some people

00:39:19.800 is very talented

00:39:20.760 but then you can get them tired.

00:39:23.400 Good luck trying to get me tired.

00:39:24.960 Yeah.

00:39:25.280 Like just good luck with that.

00:39:26.460 Yeah.

00:39:26.780 It's never happened.

00:39:27.740 It's not going to happen.

00:39:29.520 It's never happened before.

00:39:31.000 It's never happened probably

00:39:31.920 since you were born,

00:39:32.860 man,

00:39:33.040 I think.

00:39:33.960 Yeah.

00:39:34.480 Because when,

00:39:35.500 yeah,

00:39:36.180 I'm a very active person

00:39:37.900 so I'm like,

00:39:39.060 if you want to get me tired,

00:39:40.640 I can guarantee you

00:39:41.560 you will get tired in the process

00:39:42.680 and it's just a mindset.

00:39:44.920 Like,

00:39:44.980 Yeah.

00:39:45.520 I'm willing to get a heart attack.

00:39:47.060 That's what I think when I'm running,

00:39:48.160 when I'm sprinting,

00:39:48.940 when I'm sparring,

00:39:49.680 like I'm just pushing the pace.

00:39:51.740 You're willing to have a heart attack.

00:39:53.100 All the time.

00:39:53.880 That's what I tell myself

00:39:54.620 when I'm doing a sprint,

00:39:55.660 when I'm sparring,

00:39:57.020 I'm a human.

00:39:58.200 I feel the same shit you feel

00:39:59.440 but I can control that feeling.

00:40:01.860 I can tell myself,

00:40:02.720 it's okay to feel like that.

00:40:04.460 I just make friends

00:40:05.280 with those demons

00:40:06.800 and it's like,

00:40:07.840 Wow.

00:40:08.440 I just keep them close

00:40:09.400 because I can tell you

00:40:11.740 all the crazy shit in the world.

00:40:13.920 I can lie to you.

00:40:14.780 I can tell you,

00:40:16.000 fuck,

00:40:17.260 that my dick is bigger four inches 0.98

00:40:18.640 more than normal is

00:40:19.620 but I will never lie to myself

00:40:21.520 so you got to keep it real.

00:40:23.000 I have the same feeling.

00:40:24.140 My chest is burning.

00:40:25.360 My legs are tired.

00:40:26.480 My forearm are gas

00:40:27.540 but it's okay.

00:40:29.400 It's just okay.

00:40:30.560 I like that idea

00:40:31.560 of making friends

00:40:32.360 with those things,

00:40:33.260 you know?

00:40:33.680 You have to.

00:40:34.240 Of keeping those demons close.

00:40:35.900 Yeah,

00:40:36.260 when I get to the part

00:40:37.520 where my heart's beating,

00:40:38.480 I'm just like,

00:40:39.040 damn,

00:40:39.240 I might die

00:40:39.880 but you say,

00:40:40.640 hey.

00:40:42.700 I just say that

00:40:43.380 it's cool to feel that

00:40:44.420 and just keep going.

00:40:46.100 Wow.

00:40:46.380 What's going to happen?

00:40:47.180 Heart attack?

00:40:48.000 That's not losing.

00:40:48.820 You know what I'm saying?

00:40:49.820 Yeah, yeah.

00:40:50.100 That's not losing.

00:40:50.820 Nah, nah,

00:40:51.280 that's just one round.

00:40:52.260 It's when you break your leg.

00:40:53.860 Right.

00:40:54.080 I'm not saying

00:40:54.580 I want that to happen to me

00:40:55.740 but if you kick somebody

00:40:56.820 and your leg snapping twice,

00:40:58.960 you're not getting,

00:40:59.840 I did say TKO

00:41:00.640 but it's not like somebody,

00:41:02.340 Right.

00:41:02.920 It's not like somebody

00:41:03.680 kicked your ass. 0.99

00:41:04.600 Something really bad

00:41:05.640 happened to you

00:41:06.200 in the process

00:41:06.900 so when I'm throwing

00:41:08.220 a kick or a punch,

00:41:09.900 that's the mindset I have.

00:41:11.340 I'm like,

00:41:11.560 I'm going to break myself

00:41:13.120 through you.

00:41:13.740 Yeah.

00:41:14.280 And it works pretty good.

00:41:16.560 When you,

00:41:17.160 when,

00:41:18.840 when you were in the O'Malley fight,

00:41:21.160 did you feel like

00:41:22.300 at the end of that fight

00:41:24.280 that he had given,

00:41:27.660 when you got him on the ground,

00:41:29.480 you were on top of him,

00:41:29.920 did you feel like

00:41:30.520 he'd given up at that point?

00:41:32.140 Did it feel like that?

00:41:33.540 Because obviously he was injured.

00:41:35.040 Like he was injured

00:41:36.020 and that happened

00:41:37.500 the same to Sejudo,

00:41:39.440 happened to Chandler before.

00:41:42.040 So,

00:41:42.920 it happened to me

00:41:43.720 but in my arm,

00:41:44.600 like John Lineker

00:41:45.480 punched like a truck

00:41:46.420 and he punched me in the elbow

00:41:48.160 and my arm went numb.

00:41:51.680 It's,

00:41:52.420 this,

00:41:52.840 like I'm not a doctor

00:41:53.720 but I think like this,

00:41:54.800 if a nerve get affected

00:41:56.080 and you start like panicking,

00:41:59.120 your nervous system

00:41:59.880 goes firing up

00:42:01.100 so I was just telling myself

00:42:02.200 like my arm was numb,

00:42:04.560 just take my time,

00:42:05.280 just run around a little bit,

00:42:06.840 clinch him, 1.00

00:42:07.380 whatever,

00:42:07.760 and my arm went back to normal.

00:42:09.480 So,

00:42:10.140 I was just like,

00:42:11.140 it is okay

00:42:11.720 to have something like that.

00:42:13.720 Right,

00:42:14.000 to have that happen.

00:42:14.800 We actually,

00:42:15.420 Sean actually sent this question in

00:42:16.880 and I'm not,

00:42:18.380 is it okay if we play it?

00:42:19.340 I don't want you to feel like we have to.

00:42:20.460 Oh bro,

00:42:20.940 come on.

00:42:21.420 Okay,

00:42:21.700 cool.

00:42:22.200 Let me see what this dog say.

00:42:23.320 And look,

00:42:23.720 he's literally,

00:42:24.560 we just put it,

00:42:25.200 he just sent it in

00:42:25.940 through like the regular channel.

00:42:26.960 He didn't send it to me.

00:42:28.420 He just sent it in.

00:42:29.000 I believe that.

00:42:29.880 Through the drop box.

00:42:30.640 Let's see what he say.

00:42:33.420 Cheetah,

00:42:33.900 what up bro?

00:42:34.540 It's your friend,

00:42:35.140 Chikishan.

00:42:36.120 I'm just wondering if

00:42:37.360 you actually thought

00:42:38.840 you won that one fight.

00:42:40.840 Let me know your thoughts.

00:42:42.560 I will.

00:42:43.140 Theo says he doesn't think it counted.

00:42:45.100 Let me know.

00:42:45.400 I know.

00:42:46.380 I did not say that.

00:42:47.900 It's cool.

00:42:48.540 That's another thing about me.

00:42:49.900 I won't get offended by that shit.

00:42:51.720 Oh,

00:42:52.020 I didn't say it,

00:42:52.440 but I,

00:42:52.800 I know you didn't.

00:42:53.860 Okay,

00:42:54.000 but if you are,

00:42:54.940 if you tell me right now,

00:42:55.720 bro,

00:42:56.020 I don't think you won the fight.

00:42:57.040 I'm like,

00:42:57.340 cool.

00:42:57.820 No,

00:42:58.180 I just,

00:42:58.520 I was rewatching it the other day

00:42:59.800 and I was just,

00:43:00.780 I don't know what it's like

00:43:01.640 to be in a fight like that.

00:43:02.760 Right.

00:43:03.100 So I was wondering if,

00:43:04.740 if I'm,

00:43:06.840 you know,

00:43:07.200 if I'm,

00:43:07.720 something happens to me

00:43:08.660 where I feel impaired,

00:43:09.620 right?

00:43:10.220 Do I then get into a situation

00:43:12.920 where I give,

00:43:15.260 where I'm just like,

00:43:16.720 it's,

00:43:17.080 I'm out.

00:43:17.460 I'm going to live to fight another day.

00:43:19.200 Right.

00:43:19.580 Or,

00:43:20.140 and then if you're in the ring with them,

00:43:21.880 do you,

00:43:22.360 are you able to know that?

00:43:23.440 Like when,

00:43:24.900 when I,

00:43:25.800 when the fight started

00:43:26.840 and I started walking towards him,

00:43:29.660 like most guys kind of like

00:43:30.880 run away from him.

00:43:32.220 He's rangy

00:43:32.960 and he can be clowny.

00:43:34.900 He can,

00:43:35.580 like I dye my hair colorful

00:43:37.160 many times too.

00:43:39.300 We look funky

00:43:40.460 and people sometimes are like,

00:43:42.060 because you have pink in your hair,

00:43:44.400 you're not tough or something.

00:43:46.420 That's your looks.

00:43:47.300 Like,

00:43:48.380 I'm not,

00:43:48.740 most people think he's not training,

00:43:50.980 he's fucking around. 0.91

00:43:52.740 He's,

00:43:53.700 he's just another fighter

00:43:54.620 doing his job,

00:43:55.460 doing whatever.

00:43:56.140 Right.

00:43:56.640 People get fooled

00:43:57.560 by the way we act.

00:43:58.960 If you hear all the shit I say sometimes,

00:44:01.340 you would think I'm not this person.

00:44:03.120 But it's just the,

00:44:04.060 it's the way,

00:44:04.520 I'm talking shit

00:44:05.240 99% of the day.

00:44:07.060 Yeah.

00:44:07.520 And most of the time

00:44:08.240 I don't mean none of that.

00:44:09.640 I'm just talking shit.

00:44:10.720 Right.

00:44:11.700 People get fooled by that.

00:44:14.060 Like when I was,

00:44:14.980 when I was fighting him

00:44:15.840 and he was talking,

00:44:16.460 I don't have one day

00:44:19.180 that I sit down

00:44:20.160 and pay attention to anything.

00:44:21.740 I was like,

00:44:22.460 I'm going to fucking sit in the cage, bro.

00:44:24.000 Yeah.

00:44:24.320 And I am the type of person

00:44:25.860 that let's see him pop up right now

00:44:27.640 and he say something I don't like.

00:44:30.400 I'm not sitting down.

00:44:31.780 I'm going to fucking go

00:44:32.520 and throw at him.

00:44:33.360 Yeah.

00:44:33.640 Like right away.

00:44:34.660 Yeah.

00:44:34.980 I don't have those issues.

00:44:36.540 So that's why

00:44:37.000 this shit talking or promos, 0.82

00:44:40.500 it doesn't give me

00:44:41.460 or take nothing away from me.

00:44:42.860 Right.

00:44:43.260 It's just normal.

00:44:43.880 And Sean's a real master of communication.

00:44:45.780 He's a great like.

00:44:47.660 He's doing a good job.

00:44:48.600 He's doing a good job.

00:44:49.100 He's a great character.

00:44:50.240 He's a great character.

00:44:50.900 Good for him.

00:44:52.060 Like I'm not.

00:44:52.700 And fighter.

00:44:53.480 And he's a great fighter.

00:44:54.900 He can fight.

00:44:55.660 But yeah,

00:44:56.340 did you feel like you won

00:44:57.400 at the end?

00:44:58.240 That was,

00:44:58.780 yeah.

00:44:59.380 I wasn't mad

00:45:00.940 or bugged about the way it went.

00:45:02.740 I kicked him in the leg.

00:45:04.280 He should give up.

00:45:05.160 That wasn't an injury on his ankle.

00:45:07.080 That wasn't the same thing

00:45:08.020 that happened

00:45:08.360 when he fought Sukhanta.

00:45:10.000 Which Sukhanta,

00:45:12.120 if your fucking opponent 0.74

00:45:13.000 doesn't have a broken foot,

00:45:14.400 why you take him down, bro?

00:45:15.860 Like,

00:45:16.300 why you don't let him

00:45:16.920 stand on the ground

00:45:17.300 and just kick his ass? 0.84

00:45:18.920 But that's also

00:45:20.400 what they call

00:45:21.480 being a little smart in a fight.

00:45:23.680 Like if my opponent

00:45:24.180 breaks his feet,

00:45:25.500 why you take him down?

00:45:26.340 You make him a favor.

00:45:27.960 Right.

00:45:28.260 Just let him walk weird

00:45:30.340 and the referee will stop it.

00:45:32.360 When I was walking him down,

00:45:34.900 I felt his energy.

00:45:36.960 He don't,

00:45:37.360 he don't like pressure.

00:45:38.940 And most guys

00:45:39.740 want to go too crazy at him.

00:45:42.140 I took my time.

00:45:43.140 Yeah.

00:45:43.460 Like he'd throw punches,

00:45:44.680 but I saw them coming.

00:45:45.960 He's very,

00:45:46.480 he's very sharp with his hands.

00:45:48.420 But if you're calm and cool,

00:45:50.320 you can see them coming.

00:45:51.740 You know,

00:45:52.160 I don't close my eyes in there.

00:45:54.240 Well,

00:45:54.560 I don't think you close your eyes

00:45:55.440 to anything in the world

00:45:56.260 it doesn't seem like.

00:45:58.260 Do you,

00:45:59.460 have they pitched you

00:46:00.480 that fight again?

00:46:01.420 Yeah,

00:46:01.700 they offered me to fight him

00:46:03.080 when he fought

00:46:04.980 in the McGregor car.

00:46:06.600 Oh yeah,

00:46:07.200 I was at that fight.

00:46:07.940 Oh,

00:46:08.080 against that,

00:46:08.960 the,

00:46:09.220 the green hair boy.

00:46:10.220 Yeah,

00:46:10.420 the green hair boy,

00:46:11.220 man.

00:46:11.640 He never fought again.

00:46:12.460 Wow.

00:46:12.840 Yeah,

00:46:13.080 that guy,

00:46:13.740 he's still getting hit somewhere.

00:46:15.420 That guy took a lot of hits,

00:46:17.000 didn't he?

00:46:17.100 Yeah,

00:46:17.420 he can take punches in the face.

00:46:19.040 Yeah.

00:46:19.500 But,

00:46:19.740 that also say,

00:46:21.780 like if you punch somebody

00:46:22.960 that many times,

00:46:24.440 you don't punch it that hard.

00:46:25.540 Right.

00:46:26.540 On my list is nappy.

00:46:27.760 I give him that.

00:46:29.160 But if you punch somebody

00:46:30.120 that many times.

00:46:31.840 That's a good point,

00:46:33.040 huh?

00:46:33.160 Yeah.

00:46:33.760 Bro.

00:46:34.500 That guy,

00:46:34.900 he punched him

00:46:35.660 as many times

00:46:36.420 as you could punch somebody.

00:46:37.580 I don't think you could punch somebody

00:46:39.200 any more times.

00:46:40.420 No.

00:46:40.840 Even if you knew somebody

00:46:41.920 their whole life

00:46:42.880 and you didn't like them,

00:46:44.660 I don't think you could punch them

00:46:45.840 that many times.

00:46:46.180 No,

00:46:46.720 no,

00:46:47.020 no.

00:46:47.340 That was awful.

00:46:48.500 That was an awful fight.

00:46:49.660 I was like,

00:46:50.260 like what type of competition is that?

00:46:52.780 And I think that's also why

00:46:54.080 people took shit on him,

00:46:55.500 which I don't give a fuck

00:46:56.560 what people say

00:46:57.140 or not about him,

00:46:58.200 but going back,

00:47:00.400 I think I won.

00:47:01.460 Yeah.

00:47:01.680 I was happy with it,

00:47:04.220 but I also live it in the past.

00:47:05.440 I don't live off that shit.

00:47:06.560 Right.

00:47:06.800 I don't give a shit who he is

00:47:07.980 or what he does for a living.

00:47:09.820 I move on.

00:47:10.980 They called me

00:47:11.840 in last year.

00:47:14.700 You want to fight him in July?

00:47:16.380 I was like,

00:47:17.480 this is what I did

00:47:18.700 and this is what my coach advised.

00:47:20.340 It was a good point.

00:47:21.760 He's like,

00:47:22.020 Chito,

00:47:22.480 you know you fight anybody.

00:47:25.120 Like,

00:47:25.500 no problem.

00:47:27.040 Tell the UFC

00:47:27.600 to call him first

00:47:29.340 and see what happened.

00:47:31.680 They never call that game.

00:47:33.260 So.

00:47:33.960 And do you feel like,

00:47:35.480 do you feel like

00:47:36.860 there's anybody else

00:47:37.820 in that,

00:47:38.940 that's like,

00:47:39.680 do you ever feel like,

00:47:41.680 like,

00:47:41.940 cause you kind of came in

00:47:42.800 as Cejudo was kind of

00:47:43.820 leaving out,

00:47:44.540 right?

00:47:44.920 Like,

00:47:45.240 yeah.

00:47:45.860 Do you ever wish that you,

00:47:46.920 that would be a cool fight?

00:47:48.020 Is there anybody

00:47:48.520 that's kind of like,

00:47:49.400 that was right before your time

00:47:50.980 or somebody that you're like,

00:47:51.960 man,

00:47:52.320 that would have been some.

00:47:54.160 Not really.

00:47:54.920 Not really?

00:47:55.320 Like,

00:47:55.620 I don't.

00:47:56.260 You just kind of live

00:47:56.920 in the present sort of.

00:47:57.960 Yeah,

00:47:58.260 like I'm not thinking,

00:47:59.100 like I,

00:47:59.660 sometimes I,

00:48:00.580 I wish I got to met

00:48:02.220 guys that retired

00:48:03.260 and things like that

00:48:04.040 in other weight classes,

00:48:05.220 but people that I could fight,

00:48:08.080 I don't,

00:48:08.780 I don't really give a fuck.

00:48:10.320 Like,

00:48:11.620 Faber at some point

00:48:12.440 was trying to fight me

00:48:13.520 and them kind of like.

00:48:16.400 Uriah?

00:48:16.940 Yeah.

00:48:17.520 Because you guys fought

00:48:18.220 a few times,

00:48:18.820 right?

00:48:19.040 Three,

00:48:19.300 couple times?

00:48:19.960 No.

00:48:20.140 Y'all never fought?

00:48:21.260 I,

00:48:21.580 I fought his guy.

00:48:23.420 I fought a couple of his guys,

00:48:24.640 but he,

00:48:25.860 at some point he was like,

00:48:26.660 I want to make a comeback

00:48:27.420 and fight you.

00:48:28.340 Who did he fight a few times?

00:48:30.240 Cruz now?

00:48:30.940 Yeah,

00:48:31.140 Cruz.

00:48:31.520 They fought three times,

00:48:32.520 didn't they?

00:48:32.860 Yeah.

00:48:33.360 Yeah.

00:48:33.660 He lost the first one

00:48:34.440 and he won the first one

00:48:36.320 and he lost the second too.

00:48:37.540 One was in LA

00:48:38.280 when Rocko fought Bispin

00:48:39.600 and the other one was

00:48:40.960 with the green muscle fight.

00:48:42.700 The second fight

00:48:44.360 was in the UFC

00:48:45.400 with the green muscle

00:48:46.960 firing cage.

00:48:47.600 Um,

00:48:50.240 yeah,

00:48:50.720 that's,

00:48:51.520 Uriah has the,

00:48:52.960 fuck it, 0.57

00:48:53.280 that dude,

00:48:53.600 his hands are so crazy.

00:48:55.800 Yeah,

00:48:55.980 he broke both of his hands

00:48:57.440 against Mike Brown

00:48:58.300 in WC.

00:49:00.460 Dude,

00:49:00.720 his hands are so,

00:49:01.420 his hands is,

00:49:02.560 they,

00:49:03.080 they,

00:49:03.320 they're like the biggest thing

00:49:05.320 I've ever seen.

00:49:05.860 You almost got to use

00:49:06.440 two hands to shake.

00:49:07.160 Yeah,

00:49:07.180 but it's also four feet tall

00:49:08.620 so his hands are going to look bigger.

00:49:09.960 That's right.

00:49:10.500 You know what I'm saying?

00:49:11.040 Maybe it's proportional.

00:49:12.440 He's got some real mitts on him though.

00:49:14.380 Yeah.

00:49:14.780 He can play catcher

00:49:15.700 without a fricking,

00:49:16.480 without a mitt,

00:49:17.260 man.

00:49:17.480 He's got some real mitts on him.

00:49:19.540 Um,

00:49:20.780 yeah,

00:49:21.180 so I guess it's kind of interesting

00:49:22.540 because it's like,

00:49:23.260 in your division,

00:49:24.020 it's like,

00:49:24.320 how do you,

00:49:25.520 because there's not even any fights

00:49:31.660 have to fight somebody that's

00:49:33.060 lower ranked than you?

00:50:43.600 The fastest farmer.

00:50:44.840 You would be the fastest fucking farmer.

00:50:46.460 I would be jagged too.

00:50:47.700 Your work would be done.

00:50:49.160 I could see like the ox would be out there

00:50:51.080 and you would be out there next to him.

00:50:52.560 You know?

00:50:52.920 Yeah,

00:50:53.260 yeah,

00:50:53.480 yeah.

00:50:58.680 I,

00:53:28.360 Like I have at least five years that I can make myself a lot of fights.

00:53:35.240 put in a good legacy,

00:53:36.320 make history and just keep kicking ass. 0.88

00:53:38.080 But I think about it sometimes like what you want for afterwards.

00:53:41.760 And I'm like,

00:53:43.640 you know,

00:53:44.280 probably I'm going to start collecting businesses,

00:53:48.080 whatever.

00:53:48.700 Me and my wife,

00:53:49.520 we thought about it.

00:53:50.600 We want to like,

00:53:51.480 at some point when I'm open,

00:53:52.800 like a,

00:53:53.160 like a small,

00:53:54.000 cute coffee shop.

00:53:55.260 Oh,

00:53:55.720 let's make it all pretty.

00:53:57.420 Put some art around,

00:53:59.520 sell some,

00:54:00.180 some,

00:54:00.840 some,

00:54:01.080 some accessories,

00:54:02.100 whatever.

00:54:02.460 Cool.

00:54:03.440 We live in college.

00:54:04.440 So there's a bunch of cool coffee shops and we've been thinking for years,

00:54:08.060 like maybe one day we just open up one and we just chill.

00:54:11.440 That'd be cool.

00:54:12.160 That'd be cool.

00:54:13.340 I'm,

00:54:14.060 or you never know that you win a fight and then somebody call you for a movie.

00:54:18.000 Somebody call you for a,

00:54:19.320 something crazy.

00:54:20.900 With life,

00:54:21.620 you never know.

00:54:22.520 I always tell myself just,

00:54:24.180 just keep being you keep doing cool shit and things will come up your way. 0.70

00:54:29.140 So I'm not,

00:54:30.400 I'm not really too worried about it.

00:54:31.860 Like I feel some people is too worried about where,

00:54:35.960 where do they want to go?

00:54:36.940 Wow.

00:54:37.440 And they're never focusing right now.

00:54:39.460 You know what I'm saying?

00:54:39.880 That's me.

00:54:40.320 You're talking to that guy.

00:54:41.400 Really?

00:54:41.740 Yeah.

00:54:41.840 A lot of times.

00:54:42.500 Yeah.

00:54:42.720 I just get caught like in just worrying a lot.

00:54:45.240 That's why it's really nice to be around you because just like,

00:54:47.660 it's inspiring,

00:54:48.880 man,

00:54:49.100 to like be,

00:54:50.700 seem so,

00:54:51.160 to meet someone who seems so comfortable in the space that they're in.

00:54:55.260 It's,

00:54:55.820 it's,

00:54:56.160 it's,

00:54:56.500 it's,

00:54:56.700 it's inspiring.

00:54:57.520 I think.

00:54:58.000 It's a,

00:54:58.700 I,

00:54:59.080 and I get this from,

00:55:00.820 you know,

00:55:01.080 there's a lot of people around like Joe Rogan is a perfect example.

00:55:06.540 Like I've been listening to him since before I moved to the U S and that's like seven years ago.

00:55:11.980 And you know,

00:55:13.560 seven years ago he wasn't the fucking guy that is now, 0.98

00:55:17.700 but he,

00:55:18.040 he always talk about it.

00:55:20.840 You know,

00:55:21.900 it's,

00:55:22.120 it's almost when your boxing coach told you back to basic work in the job,

00:55:25.760 the job cross in life is also the same thing.

00:55:28.280 Like you can be desperate for what's coming or you can be like thinking like,

00:55:34.600 Oh,

00:55:35.120 I want to be this.

00:55:35.940 I want to be this.

00:55:36.580 Yes,

00:55:36.860 we got it.

00:55:37.680 We all want to do something in life unless you're a fucking lazy piece of shit.

00:55:41.460 But if you're really putting your ending in something,

00:55:45.540 it's just,

00:55:46.180 you know,

00:55:46.680 get the lessons from the past and fucking enjoy today because most, 0.87

00:55:52.160 most people or some people,

00:55:54.120 they don't have a tomorrow.

00:55:55.580 You know,

00:55:55.740 they're sick with cancer.

00:55:57.780 They lost everything.

00:55:59.740 We don't know.

00:56:00.540 So I always tell myself,

00:56:02.460 if I,

00:56:02.920 if I have,

00:56:04.020 if I'm alive,

00:56:04.660 I have a chance.

00:56:05.540 Yeah.

00:56:05.820 And then it's weird.

00:56:07.660 Like I think that mentality definitely was what took me here.

00:56:11.600 But even when I was a kid and I was having a problem or an issue or I wasn't getting something done.

00:56:18.600 I just told myself,

00:56:19.720 there's always a way.

00:56:21.120 There's always a chance.

00:56:22.260 Just figure it out.

00:56:23.600 Like when you,

00:56:24.700 do you miss being a child?

00:56:25.740 You talk about being a kid a lot.

00:56:27.140 I talk about being a kid a lot on,

00:56:28.780 on,

00:56:29.140 on this show.

00:56:30.760 Do you miss it?

00:56:31.700 Like,

00:56:31.820 do you think it was fun?

00:56:32.880 Like,

00:56:33.100 do you have a lot of great memories from being a kid?

00:56:35.520 I have,

00:56:36.240 yeah,

00:56:36.380 I do have great memories.

00:56:37.660 I don't,

00:56:38.580 but I don't want to be back.

00:56:40.620 I remember when I used,

00:56:42.180 I was in high school and I was like,

00:56:43.780 fuck this shit.

00:56:44.320 They hate to be sitting here to listen to a fucking person to telling me two plus two is four.

00:56:49.620 Fuck that.

00:56:50.480 Fuck that teacher. 0.73

00:56:51.760 And then everybody was like,

00:56:53.480 bro,

00:56:53.800 when,

00:56:54.020 when high school is done,

00:56:55.540 you're going to miss it so much.

00:56:58.720 The day I graduated from high school,

00:57:02.180 I say,

00:57:02.760 fuck you. 0.97

00:57:04.280 And until today,

00:57:05.260 I'm like,

00:57:05.640 I don't want to go back to that.

00:57:06.800 But I was just not made to be sitting down and learning a fucking equation.

00:57:11.720 Yeah.

00:57:12.100 Which,

00:57:13.240 that thing will do nothing for you.

00:57:15.100 Like,

00:57:15.280 they don't teach nothing in a school.

00:57:17.820 Not for you.

00:57:18.660 Not for a guy like you.

00:57:19.760 Yeah.

00:57:20.100 Yeah.

00:57:20.460 Yeah.

00:57:20.700 Specific.

00:57:21.260 I don't want to talk to normal people,

00:57:23.120 but,

00:57:23.400 but yeah,

00:57:23.680 I had to do,

00:57:24.160 I do it.

00:57:24.400 I remember doing steroids to do math.

00:57:26.320 I always do steroids,

00:57:27.400 bro.

00:57:27.540 I'm not even joking.

00:57:28.520 We used to do steroids just to do,

00:57:30.240 you know,

00:57:30.520 and I would do math real good that year.

00:57:32.640 And,

00:57:32.740 um,

00:57:33.860 but it's just like,

00:57:34.580 it just wasn't for me.

00:57:35.580 Like I was like,

00:57:36.660 teach me something about life.

00:57:38.140 Like teach me how to handle what's out there in the jungle.

00:57:42.260 Like,

00:57:43.420 right.

00:57:43.680 Like this fucking equation is not this,

00:57:45.620 this notebooks are not gonna take me out of problems.

00:57:49.280 Like,

00:57:49.360 Oh yeah.

00:57:49.640 I don't see when I look at you,

00:57:51.020 I don't think,

00:57:51.720 I think if I see a book and I see a junk,

00:57:54.220 you're,

00:57:54.500 yeah,

00:57:54.620 you're like the jungle.

00:57:55.980 You're the guy looking at the kid,

00:57:57.320 looking out the window,

00:57:57.880 being like,

00:57:58.160 I want to take on the jungle.

00:57:59.320 Most people don't think that way.

00:58:00.800 Yeah.

00:58:01.080 Well,

00:58:01.240 that's true too,

00:58:02.000 but they don't,

00:58:03.100 but in any scenario in life,

00:58:05.160 in any profession you pick,

00:58:07.560 you can keep the energy of like,

00:58:09.860 don't get desperate on the goal.

00:58:12.920 Right.

00:58:13.320 Be on the process.

00:58:14.920 Take care of the process.

00:58:16.260 Like it's all about the process.

00:58:17.780 Like if you do the process wrong,

00:58:19.260 the recipe,

00:58:21.400 whatever,

00:58:22.760 the end will be bad.

00:58:24.020 The taste of the food will be bad.

00:58:26.180 Your,

00:58:26.760 whatever your,

00:58:27.440 your goal was,

00:58:28.380 you won't,

00:58:29.000 you won't get it done just because you were,

00:58:30.640 you were thinking in something else.

00:58:32.720 Yeah.

00:58:33.160 Like you cannot be thinking on,

00:58:34.540 on the finish line if you're not doing nothing in the start line.

00:58:38.220 Yeah.

00:58:38.820 Yeah.

00:58:39.040 That's true.

00:58:39.620 Huh?

00:58:40.280 Did y'all have Halloween growing up over there?

00:58:42.540 Did you guys have Halloween?

00:58:43.800 Yeah.

00:58:44.560 We don't,

00:58:45.140 it's not as hardcore as the U.S.

00:58:46.700 Like,

00:58:47.680 you know,

00:58:48.040 every house is packed.

00:58:49.380 We got a,

00:58:50.000 we definitely got a Halloween party,

00:58:52.020 but we don't have like the whole city giving country.

00:58:55.680 But we got some,

00:58:57.140 you know,

00:58:57.400 some places that some communities that does it,

00:59:00.900 but it's not like the U.S.

00:59:02.180 like it's almost like Christmas.

00:59:04.920 Did they have,

00:59:05.920 what's like a unique Ecuador holiday that they have that we don't have?

00:59:09.100 Is there something kind of new years and Christmas for us?

00:59:12.380 It's a full on party.

00:59:13.900 Really?

00:59:14.280 It's like music,

00:59:15.520 whiskey and good food.

00:59:16.940 It's full on party.

00:59:18.560 Like Christmas for,

00:59:19.920 and Christmas,

00:59:20.560 Christmas for us is we open the presents on the 24 nighttime when everybody's drunk.

00:59:27.400 The 25th is just play with the touch already open.

00:59:32.000 And mom and dad is hungover.

00:59:33.680 Yeah.

00:59:34.200 It's a little different there,

00:59:35.440 but it's fun,

00:59:36.100 dude.

00:59:36.380 The food is great.

00:59:37.980 Similar food,

00:59:38.700 just with a different,

00:59:40.680 little different stuff.

00:59:42.260 Like,

00:59:42.500 you know,

00:59:42.700 the turkey,

00:59:43.220 everything,

00:59:43.880 but great food.

00:59:45.300 Do you miss it?

00:59:46.080 Do you miss Ecuador a lot?

00:59:47.200 Do you have?

00:59:47.720 I love Ecuador,

00:59:48.740 dude.

00:59:48.960 Like I haven't been able to go since 2019.

00:59:52.280 Wow.

00:59:52.640 Because of COVID.

00:59:53.780 I was going after each fight to do either a commercial,

00:59:57.400 or a picture for a brand,

00:59:59.200 whatever.

01:00:00.220 Because of COVID,

01:00:01.180 it's just,

01:00:02.260 you know,

01:00:02.560 we haven't been able to go back.

01:00:03.920 Was it awesome to see that guy last night?

01:00:05.940 Morales,

01:00:06.420 I think is his name?

01:00:07.320 Michael Morales.

01:00:08.280 Michael Morales.

01:00:08.900 Wow.

01:00:09.460 Dude,

01:00:09.860 he's an athlete,

01:00:11.060 dude.

01:00:11.440 Yeah.

01:00:12.000 Like,

01:00:12.720 he went and just threw a hate maker.

01:00:14.680 I was like,

01:00:14.880 oh,

01:00:15.200 wow.

01:00:15.660 He's a welter boy. 0.81

01:00:16.380 He's a big boy,

01:00:17.380 but he's 22 years old.

01:00:18.800 Like,

01:00:19.060 I remember when I made it to the UFC at 21,

01:00:21.680 so I can not,

01:00:23.300 I can relate to any mind how he feels.

01:00:26.020 You feel like you're on top of the world.

01:00:29.220 We came from a small country,

01:00:30.960 and I'm in the UFC since 2014.

01:00:33.500 Yeah.

01:00:35.400 2022,

01:00:36.120 we'll get a second one.

01:00:37.560 So it's been a long time.

01:00:38.860 Wow.

01:00:39.180 So,

01:00:40.260 but that kid,

01:00:41.020 whatever he's doing,

01:00:42.440 keep it up,

01:00:43.280 because he's doing well.

01:00:44.200 Did he reach out to you for any suggestions,

01:00:46.080 or did he?

01:00:46.940 He's,

01:00:47.800 before the UFC,

01:00:49.740 I think kind of like,

01:00:51.420 the person,

01:00:52.940 now we have the same manager,

01:00:54.260 but like the manager,

01:00:55.780 whatever he has in Ecuador,

01:00:57.060 or his team,

01:00:58.140 they were like tagging me every day on Sunday with him.

01:01:01.160 trying to get you to see him.

01:01:02.200 And I was like,

01:01:02.940 I know who he is,

01:01:04.420 but there's nothing I can do.

01:01:06.160 Like,

01:01:06.460 what do you want me to do?

01:01:08.400 you don't work like that,

01:01:09.480 but people sometimes don't know,

01:01:10.540 right?

01:01:10.920 Right.

01:01:11.420 Yeah,

01:01:11.580 they don't know.

01:01:12.060 They don't know.

01:01:12.640 I'm like,

01:01:12.880 what do you want me to call Dane,

01:01:13.960 and he fights next week?

01:01:15.300 It don't work like that.

01:01:16.260 Right.

01:01:16.920 But,

01:01:18.240 the only thing I say is like,

01:01:19.600 just keep it up.

01:01:20.600 Like,

01:01:21.240 if you're doing right by yourself,

01:01:23.560 you will get there.

01:01:25.160 And,

01:01:25.680 what I've been saying since,

01:01:27.620 four,

01:01:28.280 three years ago is like,

01:01:29.540 if you want to be in the UFC,

01:01:31.180 we don't have the sources in Ecuador.

01:01:32.860 We don't have the teammates.

01:01:34.020 We don't have,

01:01:35.480 a solid team.

01:01:36.380 So,

01:01:36.940 once you figure it out,

01:01:39.060 you win like three fights,

01:01:41.340 get the fuck out. 0.96

01:01:42.220 Wow.

01:01:42.400 If you don't have a visa,

01:01:44.140 go to Brazil, 0.95

01:01:45.020 or go to Mexico.

01:01:45.780 He went to Mexico with Brandon,

01:01:47.580 and there's like four other Ecuadorians

01:01:49.440 within Brandon's team.

01:01:50.820 I'm like,

01:01:51.800 finally.

01:01:52.500 I remember people will talk,

01:01:53.660 like,

01:01:53.880 what the fuck?

01:01:54.700 You say Ecuador suck?

01:01:56.160 I'm not saying that,

01:01:57.580 but we don't have

01:01:58.380 nothing there for us.

01:01:59.620 You don't have the infrastructure.

01:02:00.820 They don't even really have it.

01:02:01.920 We don't have it.

01:02:02.780 Do they have gyms now?

01:02:03.740 MMA gyms?

01:02:04.460 They have to be getting a little bit better,

01:02:06.220 yeah?

01:02:06.400 This is the thing.

01:02:07.160 We have good wrestling.

01:02:08.860 We have good boxing.

01:02:10.120 We have pretty good jiu-jitsu.

01:02:12.660 After Brazil,

01:02:14.460 it's Ecuador in South America,

01:02:15.820 in jiu-jitsu.

01:02:17.480 Put it together.

01:02:18.540 Good luck doing that.

01:02:19.680 It's just,

01:02:20.040 it's a different game.

01:02:21.720 Like,

01:02:22.520 I can be jiu-jitsu world champion,

01:02:25.020 and I'm still getting choked down in the UFC.

01:02:26.700 It happened to Rodolfo Vieira.

01:02:28.300 Yeah.

01:02:28.820 You know what I'm saying?

01:02:29.420 Like,

01:02:30.280 you have to put it together.

01:02:31.580 So if you're a good wrestler,

01:02:33.220 and you have a couple MMA fights,

01:02:37.020 migrate.

01:02:37.740 Go,

01:02:38.060 go and train with real fighters.

01:02:40.200 We don't have that.

01:02:41.340 And,

01:02:42.420 it's not like,

01:02:43.080 I'm happy that what I say works,

01:02:45.980 but,

01:02:46.340 all of the guys that left,

01:02:48.740 Right,

01:02:48.920 they're doing well.

01:02:49.580 One already made it,

01:02:50.800 and there's,

01:02:51.660 there's a pair of twins

01:02:52.940 that they're fucking good.

01:02:54.060 That,

01:02:54.840 this kid,

01:02:55.380 I don't know him.

01:02:55.960 Like,

01:02:56.500 I see him last night,

01:02:57.600 I say,

01:02:58.420 good luck,

01:02:58.840 blah,

01:02:59.000 blah,

01:02:59.080 blah,

01:02:59.360 but I don't,

01:03:00.040 I don't know him personally.

01:03:01.120 They are,

01:03:01.660 the twin kids,

01:03:02.700 they trained with me

01:03:03.440 before I left Ecuador.

01:03:04.860 I know them,

01:03:05.900 and they're close to make it.

01:03:07.620 So I'm like,

01:03:08.740 if you are,

01:03:10.320 if you left the country,

01:03:11.420 and you make it,

01:03:13.320 now,

01:03:13.680 now I don't say,

01:03:14.620 fuck you. 0.97

01:03:15.520 You were saying Ecuador,

01:03:16.280 now,

01:03:16.740 at least I'm like,

01:03:17.400 oh man,

01:03:17.960 I think you were right.

01:03:19.000 Well,

01:03:19.160 and also,

01:03:19.540 we're talking about Ecuador.

01:03:20.700 It's like,

01:03:21.080 the only way to get people

01:03:22.160 to talk about where you're from,

01:03:23.360 if it's not extremely popular,

01:03:25.200 is to get to a place

01:03:27.120 where people can see

01:03:28.320 you talking about that place.

01:03:30.640 You know,

01:03:30.840 it's like,

01:03:31.640 yeah,

01:03:31.880 sometimes people are like,

01:03:33.480 loyal to their town

01:03:34.880 to a fault.

01:03:36.440 You know,

01:03:36.740 it's like,

01:03:37.020 you can do that.

01:03:37.780 Yeah.

01:03:37.960 Because it will only take you

01:03:39.900 to failure.

01:03:40.740 Like,

01:03:41.300 you cannot sacrifice

01:03:42.420 your whole life

01:03:43.820 just because you say,

01:03:45.000 my country is better than yours.

01:03:46.840 Like,

01:03:47.120 I'm in the US.

01:03:48.620 Like,

01:03:49.160 things will never change.

01:03:50.280 I walk up with my flag

01:03:51.700 all the time.

01:03:52.840 Even when they say,

01:03:53.560 it's fighting out,

01:03:54.860 it doesn't say,

01:03:55.480 it's fighting out of California.

01:03:56.560 It still says,

01:03:57.400 those small details,

01:03:59.640 we'll be there forever.

01:04:00.540 Right.

01:04:00.940 But I wouldn't be

01:04:01.920 kicking Frankie Edgar in the face 0.93

01:04:03.360 turning in Ecuador.

01:04:05.020 Right.

01:04:05.260 I can guarantee you that.

01:04:06.240 we got another question

01:04:07.740 or two that came in here.

01:04:08.520 Let's bring up

01:04:08.920 something good here.

01:04:13.780 I think we just,

01:04:16.700 oh,

01:04:16.960 my hair wasn't like that.

01:04:17.740 What's up,

01:04:18.260 Theo?

01:04:18.820 What's up,

01:04:19.360 Cheeto?

01:04:20.080 In anticipation for tonight,

01:04:21.800 what was your favorite moment

01:04:22.960 from UFC 271?

01:04:25.300 Gang,

01:04:25.720 gang.

01:04:26.240 Gang,

01:04:26.460 baby.

01:04:26.600 And I think he means 270,

01:04:27.980 probably.

01:04:28.140 Yeah.

01:04:28.840 You're in the future,

01:04:29.680 bro.

01:04:30.100 Yeah.

01:04:31.280 Is that was through DMT

01:04:33.180 or mushrooms?

01:04:35.000 Like,

01:04:35.520 271,

01:04:36.120 but who's the,

01:04:36.940 he's not even announced.

01:04:38.540 Look,

01:04:39.000 that guy was there,

01:04:39.820 apparently.

01:04:40.300 It was a fucking good time.

01:04:41.540 Fuck.

01:04:42.140 I wish we should FaceTime him

01:04:43.620 and be like,

01:04:43.900 who was the baby Ben in that car?

01:04:46.760 Well,

01:04:47.300 but I can tell you

01:04:48.740 my favorite moment

01:04:49.540 from last night

01:04:50.800 to 70.

01:04:52.720 I definitely think

01:04:53.620 when Moreno woke out,

01:04:55.300 that fucking arena

01:04:56.460 turned.

01:04:57.520 Dude,

01:04:58.120 I've been in

01:04:58.780 many UFCs

01:05:00.060 and last night

01:05:01.060 when he woke out,

01:05:02.480 it was like,

01:05:03.280 I felt I was in Tijuana.

01:05:04.620 Yeah.

01:05:05.580 I was like,

01:05:06.660 fuck,

01:05:07.240 this is a lot

01:05:08.180 of fucking Mexicanos here. 1.00

01:05:09.580 I was like,

01:05:09.860 this is great.

01:05:10.720 Like,

01:05:11.480 you can feel,

01:05:12.200 like,

01:05:12.380 sometimes people make noise,

01:05:13.760 but it almost feels like

01:05:14.960 when McGregor woke out,

01:05:16.760 you know,

01:05:17.300 McGregor is just,

01:05:18.200 when he woke out,

01:05:18.900 it's huge.

01:05:19.600 So it feels like

01:05:20.400 pretty dense.

01:05:22.480 That was one thing.

01:05:23.580 People love him.

01:05:24.960 And it's just,

01:05:25.800 you know,

01:05:26.200 it's like,

01:05:27.900 people love him

01:05:28.880 and,

01:05:29.380 I mean,

01:05:30.960 yeah,

01:05:31.520 Mexican people

01:05:32.000 don't get enough credit

01:05:32.660 in this country.

01:05:33.280 Mexican people

01:05:33.940 keep this country

01:05:35.020 going.

01:05:35.200 They keep this country.

01:05:36.020 They keep going.

01:05:37.680 Bro,

01:05:38.200 every day,

01:05:39.100 people should start the morning

01:05:40.360 by just applauding

01:05:41.460 Mexican people,

01:05:43.080 bro.

01:05:43.640 I don't know,

01:05:44.340 I do not know,

01:05:46.220 I don't know

01:05:46.700 what would be going on

01:05:47.640 if there weren't

01:05:48.540 for Mexican people.

01:05:49.640 Dude,

01:05:49.880 and that is probably

01:05:52.080 pretty up there.

01:05:53.660 And also,

01:05:55.260 this country

01:05:55.960 is made

01:05:57.100 by immigrants.

01:05:58.400 Yeah.

01:05:59.240 Yeah,

01:05:59.560 people forget that

01:06:00.300 over time.

01:06:01.080 You forget that.

01:06:01.820 It's always been that way.

01:06:03.260 It's always been that way.

01:06:04.200 Yeah.

01:06:04.580 Like,

01:06:04.880 Joe talks about,

01:06:06.100 like,

01:06:06.760 his family came from Italy,

01:06:08.340 like,

01:06:08.580 or,

01:06:08.800 or the stuff like that.

01:06:09.880 Like,

01:06:10.700 this country is,

01:06:11.740 is,

01:06:12.040 is,

01:06:12.340 is a mix.

01:06:13.500 Of goods.

01:06:14.480 Yeah,

01:06:14.840 my father came from Nicaragua,

01:06:16.340 actually,

01:06:16.760 in,

01:06:16.980 uh,

01:06:18.460 20,

01:06:19.380 no,

01:06:19.680 1910.

01:06:21.500 My dad was really old

01:06:22.640 when I was born,

01:06:23.520 but he came here in 1910.

01:06:25.400 Or no,

01:06:25.780 in 1922,

01:06:26.560 he came here,

01:06:27.060 but he was born in 1910.

01:06:28.980 But he came from Central America here.

01:06:30.860 See?

01:06:31.260 It's all,

01:06:31.760 yeah,

01:06:32.020 the whole,

01:06:32.420 it's always been that way.

01:06:33.780 But that's,

01:06:34.200 that's why,

01:06:34.680 that's why they say America.

01:06:36.940 Yeah.

01:06:37.160 It's not the USA. 0.82

01:06:39.000 It's,

01:06:39.740 America is the fucking continent.

01:06:41.380 Like,

01:06:41.980 South America,

01:06:42.800 Central America,

01:06:43.560 like,

01:06:44.880 this country's,

01:06:45.740 it got a little bit

01:06:47.280 of the best of everything.

01:06:48.620 Yeah.

01:06:49.400 Yeah,

01:06:49.860 and look,

01:06:50.240 and it's got opportunity,

01:06:51.080 you know,

01:06:51.300 it just has opportunity.

01:06:53.580 And people will come up

01:06:54.740 from anywhere to get it.

01:06:55.880 What,

01:06:56.140 was there another great moment

01:06:56.980 from that,

01:06:57.420 that you enjoyed from last night?

01:06:58.840 Last night,

01:07:01.100 fuck.

01:07:01.660 Yeah,

01:07:01.820 what do you think of that,

01:07:02.500 of the,

01:07:03.500 of the,

01:07:03.720 I'm thinking,

01:07:04.460 of the Moreno,

01:07:05.120 the outcome?

01:07:06.840 I,

01:07:07.480 it's,

01:07:09.540 I hate when I know the guys

01:07:11.340 because I want them to win

01:07:13.000 and the fight was so close.

01:07:14.680 I think,

01:07:16.060 I think they could give it to him,

01:07:17.760 but also,

01:07:20.180 um,

01:07:21.440 what's his name?

01:07:22.160 Figueiredo was being smart

01:07:23.660 on,

01:07:24.460 don't throw first

01:07:25.880 because he will be countered

01:07:28.220 pretty easy.

01:07:29.240 So he was almost waiting

01:07:30.620 for big shots

01:07:31.720 and there was

01:07:33.040 two different rounds

01:07:34.420 if I'm not wrong.

01:07:35.620 He touched him

01:07:36.420 and Moreno went down.

01:07:38.720 I think one of them

01:07:39.780 wasn't a real,

01:07:41.480 one,

01:07:41.880 one was a real knockdown

01:07:43.080 when he put the choke

01:07:44.120 and 10 seconds left.

01:07:45.600 That choke was fully sink.

01:07:47.400 So that was a little scary.

01:07:49.080 Was he saved by the bell,

01:07:50.020 you think there?

01:07:51.180 Maybe?

01:07:52.240 I,

01:07:52.580 we have to say yes

01:07:53.680 because he was,

01:07:54.640 like he could have scrambled out

01:07:55.740 but it was fully on

01:07:57.320 and then

01:07:58.240 he,

01:07:58.900 he run out of time

01:07:59.900 so that was a,

01:08:01.140 a good thing for Moreno.

01:08:02.820 But then,

01:08:03.740 there was one

01:08:04.420 that he get touched

01:08:05.120 with a jab 0.88

01:08:05.740 and he went to the ground

01:08:08.520 but it was more like

01:08:09.540 outbalanced

01:08:10.260 but we don't know that.

01:08:11.900 It can be a real knockdown

01:08:13.060 and then

01:08:14.060 I think the referee,

01:08:15.760 I think it was

01:08:16.600 three to two

01:08:17.800 maybe because of that

01:08:18.780 but Moreno

01:08:19.660 put more

01:08:20.580 and since I was there

01:08:22.260 I saw

01:08:22.960 Figueiredo

01:08:24.540 pretty hurt

01:08:26.000 more than once

01:08:27.060 like almost

01:08:28.000 ready to go down

01:08:29.240 but

01:08:29.440 I just feel like

01:08:31.220 Moreno was being

01:08:32.340 very patient.

01:08:33.500 If you,

01:08:33.880 if you were to step in the gas

01:08:35.280 I think you could finish him.

01:08:37.580 And do you think

01:08:38.460 that's something

01:08:38.940 that you learn as a fighter

01:08:40.060 if you're in there

01:08:40.660 like not to,

01:08:41.440 like to be careful

01:08:42.340 of your counter punches

01:08:43.120 like sometimes you,

01:08:43.840 you learn like,

01:08:44.560 oh,

01:08:45.180 when I counter

01:08:46.120 or when I punch first

01:08:47.400 they're countering better?

01:08:48.720 Like,

01:08:49.160 especially the last fight

01:08:50.460 like,

01:08:50.740 like,

01:08:51.180 Figueiredo came pretty strong

01:08:53.180 and Moreno just

01:08:54.080 countered him

01:08:55.100 until he just took him down

01:08:56.660 and finished him

01:08:57.200 and

01:08:58.000 this time he,

01:08:59.040 he wasn't that aggressive

01:09:00.160 he was waiting more

01:09:01.100 from Moreno

01:09:01.620 and those low kicks also

01:09:03.360 were pretty heavy.

01:09:06.080 It was an exciting fight.

01:09:07.160 It was a great fight.

01:09:07.960 And that last 20 seconds

01:09:08.980 where they just said

01:09:09.660 let's go.

01:09:10.480 They went Max Holloway

01:09:11.640 Ricardo Lamas

01:09:12.560 they point to the ground

01:09:13.800 and say fuck you. 1.00

01:09:15.120 It was a great fight dude.

01:09:16.420 It was a great fight.

01:09:18.080 The whole crowd

01:09:18.780 was booing heavy.

01:09:20.020 So,

01:09:20.960 if you,

01:09:22.380 if it will be

01:09:22.960 a clean decision

01:09:23.780 then I don't think

01:09:24.340 the crowd will

01:09:25.300 boo that bad.

01:09:26.740 I felt like,

01:09:27.480 I felt like if it was a,

01:09:28.500 I feel like they should

01:09:29.400 maybe just made it a draw.

01:09:31.660 Exactly.

01:09:32.320 Like,

01:09:32.540 they make the first time.

01:09:34.620 Like,

01:09:34.840 a draw would be great

01:09:35.720 but

01:09:35.980 being a judge

01:09:37.820 is a shitty job.

01:09:38.880 I,

01:09:38.940 I know that sometimes

01:09:40.040 like,

01:09:40.560 they make,

01:09:41.700 like,

01:09:42.100 that wasn't,

01:09:43.940 like,

01:09:44.340 that could go to Moreno

01:09:45.400 but sometimes

01:09:46.720 they make some decisions

01:09:47.920 that you're like,

01:09:48.720 which fight you were looking like.

01:09:50.400 Yeah.

01:09:50.820 Like that,

01:09:51.620 but,

01:09:52.220 like the whole world

01:09:53.160 gets crazy on it.

01:09:54.060 Yeah.

01:09:54.760 And,

01:09:55.560 but being a judge

01:09:56.340 is a shitty job

01:09:57.080 and none of those guys

01:09:58.660 are martial artists.

01:10:00.320 None of those guys

01:10:00.920 have a full background.

01:10:02.740 That's crazy,

01:10:03.520 isn't it?

01:10:04.560 Most of the,

01:10:05.640 there's one referee,

01:10:07.500 one judge

01:10:08.420 that I got to talk to him

01:10:09.580 and I asked him like,

01:10:10.600 like,

01:10:11.020 where you came from?

01:10:11.840 Like,

01:10:12.340 like,

01:10:12.800 what you know about MMA?

01:10:14.160 He's like,

01:10:14.480 I'm a boxing referee.

01:10:15.860 I'm like,

01:10:16.760 oh,

01:10:17.060 you're fucked then. 0.98

01:10:17.860 Who isn't a boxing referee?

01:10:19.340 Yeah.

01:10:19.780 I'm like,

01:10:20.120 so.

01:10:20.440 Everybody is.

01:10:21.140 Yeah.

01:10:21.500 Like you have to separate

01:10:22.720 no headbutts

01:10:23.960 and I guess

01:10:24.940 no,

01:10:25.400 no dick punches

01:10:26.260 and then no clinching,

01:10:27.980 of course,

01:10:28.280 but.

01:10:28.920 But that's just like crime.

01:10:30.280 Like,

01:10:30.500 I feel like if you go on trial

01:10:31.420 for murder or something,

01:10:32.780 the people in the box

01:10:34.380 should all be murderers, 0.51

01:10:35.920 you know,

01:10:36.340 the jury.

01:10:37.820 Because at least then

01:10:39.000 they're going to be able

01:10:39.760 to be like,

01:10:40.320 oh yeah,

01:10:40.700 he did it or didn't.

01:10:41.720 If you're getting somebody

01:10:42.520 that works at a bakery

01:10:43.480 or something,

01:10:43.980 they don't fucking, 0.88

01:10:44.700 you know what I'm saying?

01:10:45.360 Like.

01:10:46.000 Yeah.

01:10:46.660 Yeah.

01:10:46.880 The way law works too,

01:10:49.200 it's crazy.

01:10:50.120 Like,

01:10:50.420 like just thinking about like,

01:10:53.260 it's just random people

01:10:54.440 saying,

01:10:55.120 innocent.

01:10:56.980 Like,

01:10:57.680 what the fuck is going on?

01:10:59.340 Like,

01:11:00.620 they're working like,

01:11:02.420 the judges better,

01:11:03.840 it's better on putting

01:11:04.520 that fake hair

01:11:05.260 that they used back in the day

01:11:06.840 and make a movie about it.

01:11:08.740 Yeah,

01:11:09.100 it is crazy.

01:11:10.580 The system seems a little crazy,

01:11:12.100 but I don't know

01:11:13.040 what else we would do.

01:11:13.680 Maybe let a machine do it,

01:11:14.840 you know?

01:11:16.120 Yeah.

01:11:16.700 Well,

01:11:17.020 Elon Musk can figure that out.

01:11:18.480 Yeah,

01:11:18.620 maybe he will.

01:11:19.220 Like,

01:11:19.600 you put it,

01:11:20.080 your tongue print says,

01:11:21.100 guilty,

01:11:21.700 then you get your head chopped.

01:11:24.740 You know,

01:11:25.260 some guys would be scared

01:11:26.240 to put that thumb on there.

01:11:27.040 I know.

01:11:27.840 Even that,

01:11:28.500 the lie detector,

01:11:30.200 that thing don't work. 1.00

01:11:31.160 That thing looks horrible.

01:11:32.440 It looks so rickety,

01:11:33.660 huh?

01:11:33.740 It looks like it wouldn't even

01:11:35.540 start your car,

01:11:36.600 you know?

01:11:37.000 I'm like,

01:11:37.240 this thing looks like

01:11:37.800 a piece of shit,

01:11:38.620 you know?

01:11:39.780 The system is pretty fucked up,

01:11:42.060 the way things work,

01:11:43.440 but.

01:11:44.440 Somebody had one

01:11:45.180 in our neighborhood

01:11:45.760 growing up,

01:11:46.260 had a lie detector test

01:11:47.380 and then we were always

01:11:48.060 using it and shit. 0.90

01:11:49.740 And it didn't do shit.

01:11:51.160 It didn't work?

01:11:51.900 No.

01:11:52.200 People would be like,

01:11:53.060 I remember asking,

01:11:53.900 they would ask one of the kids,

01:11:55.020 like,

01:11:55.140 are you smart?

01:11:55.760 And he said,

01:11:56.020 yes,

01:11:56.220 I'm smart.

01:11:56.720 And we're like,

01:11:57.120 that dude's a fucking idiot. 0.99

01:11:59.200 That thing doesn't work,

01:12:01.200 man.

01:12:01.480 I think we can use that

01:12:02.800 on Omayla.

01:12:06.160 We'll see,

01:12:07.060 man.

01:12:07.680 Is it interesting

01:12:08.720 that the guys like Sean

01:12:10.580 create such a,

01:12:11.940 do you get,

01:12:12.900 is it hard not to try

01:12:14.400 and become that kind of energy?

01:12:16.240 I notice it in my own world,

01:12:17.540 like I notice some guys

01:12:18.460 have bigger personalities.

01:12:20.200 So sometimes I'm like,

01:12:21.060 do I need to get

01:12:21.980 a bigger personality?

01:12:25.220 Is it,

01:12:26.340 does it get tempting

01:12:27.200 to try and?

01:12:28.660 Well,

01:12:29.460 for me,

01:12:30.000 it's like,

01:12:30.300 I think also

01:12:31.320 it's where you are in life.

01:12:32.500 Like,

01:12:33.320 I,

01:12:33.740 I get to the UFC

01:12:35.040 with a wife and a kid.

01:12:37.280 Now I have a wife

01:12:38.540 and three kids.

01:12:40.080 So,

01:12:40.780 I don't have time

01:12:42.320 to go home

01:12:43.160 and play video games

01:12:44.720 for five,

01:12:45.180 because I got a personality.

01:12:47.060 I can talk to anybody.

01:12:48.360 I can,

01:12:49.440 you can switch up

01:12:50.200 with one of those guys

01:12:50.860 and we can have

01:12:51.500 a cool conversation.

01:12:53.020 I can talk shit.

01:12:54.420 I can say funny,

01:12:56.060 funky shit.

01:12:56.840 But,

01:12:57.620 when I get home,

01:12:59.080 I want to play

01:12:59.700 a little basketball.

01:13:00.300 I want to take my daughter

01:13:02.100 to get an ice cream.

01:13:03.340 I need to take

01:13:04.160 my wife somewhere.

01:13:05.520 So I don't got the time,

01:13:06.820 I don't got time to twitch.

01:13:08.020 Right.

01:13:08.160 I don't have time

01:13:08.800 to do all this shit.

01:13:10.780 Right.

01:13:11.220 So yeah,

01:13:11.500 it's just a different,

01:13:12.200 it's different.

01:13:12.640 I'm using a different place

01:13:13.740 in my life.

01:13:14.260 Yeah.

01:13:14.400 If I would be a single guy,

01:13:17.120 I would probably be doing

01:13:18.420 every single thing

01:13:19.440 I can do.

01:13:20.360 Because,

01:13:20.940 I can feel like,

01:13:21.980 let's see,

01:13:22.760 a couple months ago,

01:13:24.280 my wife took the kids

01:13:25.540 to Palm Springs

01:13:26.260 for two days

01:13:27.520 with my mother-in-law.

01:13:29.100 And,

01:13:29.440 I was like,

01:13:30.500 holy shit.

01:13:31.780 I didn't know

01:13:32.340 that they got so many hours.

01:13:33.680 Wow.

01:13:33.960 I would come back home

01:13:35.420 and sit down for six hours

01:13:37.120 and be like,

01:13:37.580 what the fuck?

01:13:38.560 I'm not used to this.

01:13:39.880 I don't even feel good about it.

01:13:41.420 Wow.

01:13:41.600 Even if I have time to rest.

01:13:43.000 Because,

01:13:43.440 I gotta,

01:13:44.160 we gotta full scale.

01:13:45.460 Drop the kids in high school,

01:13:47.140 in the school.

01:13:47.980 Go to the gym.

01:13:49.040 Come back.

01:13:50.360 She go pick up one, 0.96

01:13:51.420 I go pick up the other.

01:13:52.440 Go to my second practice of the day.

01:13:54.800 Put them to bed.

01:13:55.820 Go to bed around nine,

01:13:57.060 ten.

01:13:57.960 Wake up.

01:13:59.120 Run early morning.

01:14:00.860 Drop somebody to school,

01:14:01.880 so.

01:14:02.440 It keeps going.

01:14:03.260 It keeps going.

01:14:04.100 That's your world.

01:14:04.880 But,

01:14:05.180 like,

01:14:05.680 guys that don't have

01:14:07.180 the responsibilities.

01:14:08.880 That,

01:14:09.420 they can,

01:14:10.400 they can open

01:14:11.440 what they can do.

01:14:12.700 Like,

01:14:13.200 that's why I put everything

01:14:14.660 into training

01:14:15.180 to win fights.

01:14:16.220 I don't got time

01:14:17.060 to be a comedian

01:14:18.000 or an actor.

01:14:19.460 And,

01:14:19.740 I know I'm a funny person.

01:14:20.680 I know I can talk shit.

01:14:21.640 I know I can crack some jokes,

01:14:22.800 but,

01:14:24.040 it's just not the time.

01:14:25.520 I could see down the line.

01:14:26.360 I could see you doing it afterwards,

01:14:27.720 though,

01:14:27.900 maybe getting into,

01:14:28.760 like,

01:14:28.860 commentating or something,

01:14:29.920 you know?

01:14:30.080 Yeah,

01:14:30.300 and I do the commentary already.

01:14:31.700 Yeah.

01:14:32.100 I do it for Spanish.

01:14:33.020 Oh,

01:14:33.180 that's cool,

01:14:33.660 man.

01:14:33.740 I've been doing it

01:14:34.240 for like five years.

01:14:35.080 Oh,

01:14:35.280 wow.

01:14:35.840 That's amazing.

01:14:37.100 So,

01:14:37.340 like,

01:14:37.780 I can,

01:14:38.320 I know I can do more shit.

01:14:40.560 At the moment,

01:14:41.600 it's one goal.

01:14:42.840 Be a world champion

01:14:43.680 and just kick ass. 0.99

01:14:45.500 There's,

01:14:46.700 I,

01:14:47.200 a friend of mine

01:14:47.880 used to say,

01:14:48.860 oh,

01:14:48.900 it's like,

01:14:49.240 you cannot read

01:14:50.200 three books in one day.

01:14:51.860 So,

01:14:52.540 pick one,

01:14:54.320 learn from it,

01:14:55.560 and then move into another.

01:14:56.980 So,

01:14:57.420 like,

01:14:58.680 I'm just,

01:14:59.300 I'm just busy.

01:15:01.020 Damn,

01:15:01.560 man.

01:15:02.100 Yeah.

01:15:02.440 Well,

01:15:02.900 this has been

01:15:03.280 quite the novella,

01:15:04.160 man.

01:15:04.340 I'm trying to think

01:15:04.840 if there's any other,

01:15:05.780 uh,

01:15:06.040 any other question

01:15:06.700 that came on,

01:15:07.200 Colin,

01:15:07.400 you want to throw up?

01:15:10.620 Oh,

01:15:11.020 I like that shirt.

01:15:12.540 Oh,

01:15:12.980 yeah,

01:15:13.300 this guy.

01:15:13.780 Hey,

01:15:13.960 como stan?

01:15:14.580 Chito,

01:15:15.060 buen dia.

01:15:16.060 Theo,

01:15:16.820 what the fuck

01:15:17.580 is going on,

01:15:18.320 bro?

01:15:18.720 Um,

01:15:19.120 my question for,

01:15:20.740 uh,

01:15:21.220 Chito is,

01:15:22.740 what is the fight

01:15:23.620 that you're proud of?

01:15:26.300 For winning

01:15:26.780 and representing

01:15:27.400 the colors of Ecuador?

01:15:29.100 Theo,

01:15:29.500 you should probably

01:15:30.360 already know Spanish

01:15:31.260 from that one,

01:15:32.220 uh,

01:15:32.440 friend that you had

01:15:33.080 back in school.

01:15:34.000 So.

01:15:34.260 Dang,

01:15:34.600 baby.

01:15:35.540 Yeah,

01:15:36.020 that,

01:15:36.340 uh,

01:15:36.840 that Spanish question,

01:15:38.040 man,

01:15:38.140 what did he ask you?

01:15:38.640 Yeah,

01:15:38.860 he asked me,

01:15:39.320 like,

01:15:39.420 what's the fight

01:15:40.100 that makes me

01:15:40.540 the most pro?

01:15:42.340 I,

01:15:42.640 or like,

01:15:43.340 or my,

01:15:43.740 I guess my biggest fight,

01:15:45.860 I think when I went to London

01:15:47.480 and fought Brad Pickett

01:15:48.900 in 10 days notice

01:15:50.760 was pretty huge

01:15:52.500 for my life.

01:15:53.540 Just because

01:15:54.340 how everything

01:15:55.900 was planned out.

01:15:57.080 I was coming

01:15:57.700 off elbow surgery.

01:15:59.360 I was fat.

01:16:00.920 I was,

01:16:03.020 I would call depressed.

01:16:04.700 I wasn't able

01:16:05.240 to show up

01:16:05.840 to the gym

01:16:06.380 in the last,

01:16:07.040 in the past

01:16:07.800 eight weeks.

01:16:09.720 I had,

01:16:10.520 a couple

01:16:12.200 of grand

01:16:12.600 in the bank account.

01:16:14.340 I,

01:16:14.580 I,

01:16:14.800 I,

01:16:15.020 I,

01:16:15.240 it was the first time,

01:16:16.680 it was when we just moved

01:16:18.020 from network with my family

01:16:19.240 because I came for a year alone.

01:16:21.860 Train,

01:16:22.560 win a fight,

01:16:24.420 have some money

01:16:25.540 to flu my whole family

01:16:26.940 and then

01:16:28.260 I,

01:16:29.320 I brought my family in,

01:16:31.040 got the elbow surgery

01:16:32.120 and then I was sitting down

01:16:33.880 on my couch

01:16:34.360 for like

01:16:34.840 seven weeks.

01:16:36.700 There's nothing,

01:16:37.360 if you have a,

01:16:38.140 a elbow this big,

01:16:39.960 there's nothing

01:16:40.900 you can do.

01:16:41.840 So,

01:16:42.340 the moment the doctor

01:16:43.420 cleared me

01:16:44.020 to start,

01:16:44.700 to start running

01:16:46.060 and

01:16:46.960 basically lifting

01:16:48.740 but just

01:16:49.420 from my waist down

01:16:50.720 I was,

01:16:52.060 I was running

01:16:52.780 every day

01:16:54.300 but not,

01:16:54.900 not long distance.

01:16:56.240 I was running heels

01:16:57.060 to get my heart rate,

01:16:58.280 heart,

01:16:59.160 I basically become

01:17:00.260 a Cameron Hens

01:17:01.120 for like four weeks.

01:17:02.200 Yeah.

01:17:02.420 and then

01:17:03.240 I was squatting

01:17:04.500 as much as I can

01:17:05.800 and

01:17:06.660 I wasn't in fighting shape

01:17:08.560 but I was in survival shape.

01:17:10.640 I was like,

01:17:11.760 I was,

01:17:12.300 I was doing

01:17:12.960 every day

01:17:14.080 something really hard

01:17:15.220 with my legs

01:17:15.760 and then

01:17:16.940 I was like,

01:17:17.840 fuck,

01:17:18.060 my bank account

01:17:18.760 is drained.

01:17:20.460 I don't got nothing.

01:17:22.060 Back then.

01:17:22.380 So you had to take it?

01:17:23.580 No,

01:17:23.940 a thousand percent.

01:17:25.200 So my manager called me

01:17:26.180 and he's like,

01:17:26.500 hey bro,

01:17:26.940 like,

01:17:27.800 some Mexican guy

01:17:29.000 got hurt.

01:17:29.820 It's Brad Picker

01:17:30.520 retirement fight

01:17:31.360 and I was like,

01:17:33.260 bro,

01:17:33.780 send the fucking contract 0.54

01:17:35.300 like tomorrow,

01:17:37.160 like now.

01:17:38.520 So I was,

01:17:40.000 and I was heavy

01:17:40.880 because I,

01:17:41.420 I wasn't doing nothing.

01:17:42.560 So I was like waiting

01:17:43.180 like close to 160

01:17:44.480 and then

01:17:46.220 they told me 135

01:17:47.620 you have to make the way.

01:17:48.680 I'm like,

01:17:49.360 I die making the way

01:17:50.400 if I have to.

01:17:51.060 So we flew to London

01:17:52.100 and I was basically

01:17:54.060 eating

01:17:54.720 one egg

01:17:56.180 couple of asparagus

01:17:58.380 and three gallons of water.

01:18:01.060 Oh my gosh,

01:18:02.040 man.

01:18:02.500 That was it.

01:18:03.440 And then back then

01:18:04.400 I didn't have the nutrition

01:18:05.360 I have right now.

01:18:06.580 Back then I was using

01:18:07.360 the coaches,

01:18:08.640 my manager

01:18:09.360 and we're like

01:18:10.280 just trying to figure it out.

01:18:11.380 I was like,

01:18:12.220 what should I eat?

01:18:13.440 Ordered an egg

01:18:14.320 with asparagus.

01:18:15.320 I was like,

01:18:15.540 okay,

01:18:15.760 cool.

01:18:16.920 And then we started

01:18:17.740 the way cut.

01:18:18.520 I dropped like

01:18:19.260 close to 18 pounds.

01:18:21.560 I was dead.

01:18:23.000 I was dead,

01:18:23.900 but I was broke.

01:18:24.800 So I knew I have to do it.

01:18:26.980 And then

01:18:27.340 I get to 140

01:18:28.820 and I was like,

01:18:30.960 they asked me,

01:18:31.400 how are you?

01:18:31.780 And I'm like,

01:18:32.160 let's just keep going.

01:18:33.580 And then

01:18:34.020 we got a call.

01:18:34.880 Hey,

01:18:35.300 Brad tastes okay,

01:18:36.220 140

01:18:36.620 because he don't want you

01:18:38.240 to pull out

01:18:38.900 if you pass out

01:18:40.120 and then he's not fighting

01:18:40.980 his retirement fight.

01:18:42.340 Oh,

01:18:42.760 so they met you at 140.

01:18:43.860 We met at 140.

01:18:45.480 I was like,

01:18:45.940 cool,

01:18:46.380 fuck it.

01:18:47.560 Dude,

01:18:47.900 walking to the cage,

01:18:50.100 I was angry.

01:18:51.600 I was like a madman.

01:18:52.520 I was like,

01:18:52.800 I'm going to kill this guy.

01:18:53.960 And could you smell people

01:18:54.940 eating stuff in the stands

01:18:55.940 or not?

01:18:57.200 A little bit.

01:18:57.800 Yeah.

01:18:58.300 Like they were saying,

01:18:59.020 they were saying,

01:18:59.700 fuck you, 0.99

01:19:00.580 you will die. 0.98

01:19:02.100 But it was just like Brazil, 0.92

01:19:03.280 but in London.

01:19:03.980 Yeah.

01:19:04.740 You're fighting hometown boy

01:19:06.400 right there.

01:19:06.820 And I was like,

01:19:09.900 I was telling myself,

01:19:11.200 the only thing I was thinking

01:19:12.240 walking to the cage,

01:19:13.620 you lose this fight,

01:19:15.040 you're going to send

01:19:15.520 your family back to Ecuador.

01:19:16.860 You win this fight,

01:19:18.920 you have,

01:19:19.840 you don't,

01:19:20.320 you're not set for life.

01:19:22.120 You got a year

01:19:23.180 in the US

01:19:24.040 to figure it out

01:19:25.180 and keep going.

01:19:26.480 Because

01:19:26.740 I had like

01:19:28.200 four grand

01:19:28.900 walking to that cage.

01:19:30.080 Yeah.

01:19:30.860 I was telling myself,

01:19:32.760 this guy

01:19:33.060 has to kill me. 0.72

01:19:33.940 Like,

01:19:34.780 there's no fucking

01:19:36.140 turn around for me.

01:19:38.460 I don't want to go back.

01:19:39.520 Yeah.

01:19:39.780 I don't want to be a loser

01:19:41.180 and go back home.

01:19:42.560 Like,

01:19:42.700 what happened?

01:19:43.140 I couldn't make it in the US.

01:19:44.500 Yeah.

01:19:45.620 Can I work for you?

01:19:46.680 Can I clean your house, bro?

01:19:47.580 Yeah.

01:19:48.020 Can I be over here?

01:19:49.160 Yeah.

01:19:49.320 Doing laundry.

01:19:50.280 There's no

01:19:50.920 accepting that fucking

01:19:52.860 going back.

01:19:54.260 And it was a hell of a fight.

01:19:55.500 I think that fight

01:19:56.680 teach me

01:19:57.860 a lot.

01:19:58.720 About yourself.

01:19:59.540 About life.

01:20:00.420 Like,

01:20:01.040 what you can do

01:20:02.040 when you need to do it.

01:20:03.140 Wow.

01:20:03.340 That's why now that I

01:20:04.560 in a way

01:20:06.420 have it all.

01:20:07.900 Like,

01:20:08.480 not in

01:20:09.800 values

01:20:10.840 and stuff.

01:20:11.480 Not in

01:20:11.820 material shit.

01:20:12.840 But I just have it all.

01:20:14.060 I'm happy.

01:20:15.100 Kids are good.

01:20:15.920 Wife is good.

01:20:17.200 We live in Cali.

01:20:18.300 We own a house.

01:20:19.080 So it's like

01:20:19.420 I'm just

01:20:20.920 I remember that

01:20:22.520 and just to

01:20:24.540 keep it strong

01:20:25.240 the rest of my life.

01:20:26.320 Like,

01:20:26.440 I just

01:20:26.700 I think people get

01:20:28.420 softer,

01:20:30.040 cocky,

01:20:30.540 or

01:20:30.980 careless

01:20:31.600 when they made it

01:20:32.640 to some point.

01:20:33.340 I keep the

01:20:35.420 same mentality.

01:20:37.020 Just

01:20:37.240 my kids can learn

01:20:39.320 that one day.

01:20:40.600 Because if

01:20:41.060 they won't remember

01:20:42.900 that

01:20:43.720 in 2017,

01:20:45.080 they don't know my mind.

01:20:45.860 They were babies.

01:20:46.840 So I need to keep

01:20:47.600 that mindset

01:20:48.120 for them to learn

01:20:49.140 how to live like this

01:20:50.440 when they're 15,

01:20:51.780 20.

01:20:52.080 Because if I become

01:20:52.700 a little soft bitch, 1.00

01:20:54.360 they will see that.

01:20:55.520 Yeah,

01:20:55.740 mindset is so

01:20:56.580 it's so key

01:20:57.680 with so many fighters,

01:20:58.720 man.

01:20:58.880 It's so interesting,

01:20:59.860 especially in your life,

01:21:00.900 man.

01:21:01.140 And this will be

01:21:02.500 my last question.

01:21:03.120 Where did you meet

01:21:03.640 your wife at?

01:21:05.520 Fourth grade.

01:21:06.940 Damn,

01:21:07.580 boy,

01:21:08.040 that's a little

01:21:08.620 creepy,

01:21:09.820 boy.

01:21:10.180 I know.

01:21:10.980 That's early,

01:21:12.020 papa.

01:21:12.560 I know,

01:21:13.300 I know.

01:21:13.840 Damn.

01:21:14.300 We didn't touch

01:21:15.620 each other

01:21:15.960 until 14.

01:21:17.880 That's a little bit

01:21:18.780 more legal,

01:21:19.460 but damn,

01:21:20.220 boy,

01:21:20.620 fourth grade.

01:21:22.140 Yeah,

01:21:22.420 we met early.

01:21:23.600 We were in

01:21:24.000 separate classrooms,

01:21:26.020 but she always told me,

01:21:28.700 like,

01:21:28.960 I like you since then.

01:21:29.940 I'm like,

01:21:30.140 you should say something.

01:21:31.240 I was ready back then,

01:21:33.020 but I was worried

01:21:34.620 about other things

01:21:35.320 back then.

01:21:36.340 And did you go

01:21:36.940 on a date or something?

01:21:38.040 Like in Ecuador,

01:21:38.820 would you take a girl 1.00

01:21:39.520 on a date?

01:21:39.740 What was that kind of like?

01:21:41.940 Fuck,

01:21:42.500 when we were young,

01:21:44.260 it was more like

01:21:46.420 going to the movies

01:21:47.280 or just visit her

01:21:49.720 at the house.

01:21:50.480 Go for a walk

01:21:51.460 or something?

01:21:51.980 Yeah,

01:21:52.520 or,

01:21:52.840 you know,

01:21:53.540 I was a troublemaker,

01:21:55.260 so they wouldn't,

01:21:56.560 her mom wouldn't let me go.

01:21:58.040 Helligroso,

01:21:58.520 huh?

01:21:58.580 Yeah,

01:21:58.900 a lot.

01:22:00.540 They put me in jail twice

01:22:01.720 for fighting in the street.

01:22:02.800 Jesus Christ.

01:22:03.200 So like,

01:22:03.820 every time she was around me,

01:22:06.500 their mom was like,

01:22:07.200 hey,

01:22:07.460 be careful.

01:22:08.420 Like,

01:22:08.800 would she get you

01:22:09.300 for Valentine's bail money

01:22:10.520 probably?

01:22:11.460 Yeah,

01:22:11.920 every time.

01:22:13.200 I'm sorry,

01:22:14.040 I lose it all there.

01:22:15.400 Yeah,

01:22:15.640 like,

01:22:16.000 I was,

01:22:17.680 I always say,

01:22:18.520 thank God I found

01:22:19.320 something that

01:22:20.060 keep me disciplined

01:22:20.800 because I only find ways

01:22:23.340 to get in trouble

01:22:23.940 growing up.

01:22:24.960 there was,

01:22:26.240 got kicked out of high school

01:22:27.440 just,

01:22:29.220 just looking for,

01:22:30.620 turn something on fire.

01:22:31.620 It was just,

01:22:32.120 it was just trouble

01:22:33.380 over trouble

01:22:34.200 over trouble

01:22:34.960 and there was no fucking 0.98

01:22:36.620 stopping that.

01:22:37.920 That's why,

01:22:39.620 I'm right where you need to be.

01:22:40.940 I'm right where I need to be.

01:22:42.140 Somebody,

01:22:42.800 if,

01:22:42.920 if,

01:22:43.280 if nobody will put me in a cage,

01:22:45.880 I'll be fucking,

01:22:48.160 I don't know where I'll be,

01:22:49.180 bro.

01:22:49.480 Even my,

01:22:50.140 all my friends,

01:22:51.260 they're all dumb. 0.65

01:22:52.480 They're all fucking,

01:22:53.600 it's all fucking around. 0.93

01:22:55.700 Oh,

01:22:56.080 yeah,

01:22:56.260 yeah.

01:23:00.140 Yeah.

01:23:00.360 I will show up to high school

01:23:01.380 drunk.

01:23:01.920 Yeah.

01:23:02.600 It was just dumb shit.

01:23:04.260 You were meant to be in a cage

01:23:05.480 kind of in a weird way,

01:23:06.520 huh?

01:23:06.880 A hundred percent.

01:23:08.280 A hundred percent.

01:23:09.340 I know that.

01:23:10.560 And I love it.

01:23:11.360 Yeah.

01:23:11.540 I love it.

01:23:12.480 Well,

01:23:12.680 man,

01:23:12.920 you have a,

01:23:13.240 you have a beautiful life,

01:23:14.140 man.

01:23:14.280 It's been really interesting

01:23:15.120 to get to know you.

01:23:15.920 It's amazing.

01:23:16.660 So many people really love you.

01:23:18.640 You know,

01:23:19.120 you're really beloved.

01:23:19.960 It feels like in the sport

01:23:20.980 and I'm just grateful for your time

01:23:23.680 and it's really inspiring to me

01:23:24.980 where I'm at in my life right now.

01:23:26.540 Appreciate you.

01:23:27.220 Thanks for having me,

01:23:28.000 dude.

01:23:28.420 I've been following you for a long time.

01:23:30.400 You're a funny cat.

01:23:31.560 Well,

01:23:31.940 thanks,

01:23:32.280 man.

01:23:32.380 I try my best,

01:23:33.280 man.

01:23:34.280 And I hope to get to check out

01:23:35.600 your next fight,

01:23:36.240 man.

01:23:37.520 Hopefully soon.

01:23:38.440 Yeah.

01:23:38.660 Best of luck,

01:23:39.640 brother.

01:23:40.060 Appreciate you,

01:23:40.580 man.

01:23:40.720 Thanks for having me.

01:23:41.480 You are.

01:23:43.760 Now I'm just floating on the breeze

01:23:46.700 and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.

01:23:49.760 I must be cornerstone.

01:23:55.040 Oh,

01:23:55.780 but when I reach that ground,

01:23:57.680 I'll share this peace of mind.

01:23:59.820 I found I can feel it in my bones,

01:24:04.740 but it's going to take

01:24:06.800 a little time for me to set that parking brake

01:24:13.180 and let myself unwind.

01:24:17.120 Shine that light on me.

01:24:20.040 I'll sit and tell you my stories shine on me and I will find a song I will sing it just for you.

01:24:38.420 And now I've been moving way too fast on the runaway train with a heavy load of my past.

01:24:53.580 And these rails that I've been riding on,

01:24:56.820 they weren't so thin that they're damn near gone.

01:24:59.340 I guess now they just weren't built in the air.

01:25:02.220 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:25:04.340 I'm Jonathan Kite and welcome to Kite Club,

01:25:06.920 a podcast where I'll be sharing thoughts on things like current events,

01:25:10.600 stand-up stories,

01:25:11.660 and seven ways to pleasure your partner.

01:25:14.340 The answer may shock you.

01:25:16.060 Sometimes I'll interview my friends.

01:25:18.120 Sometimes I won't.

01:25:19.820 And as always,

01:25:20.660 I'll be joined by the voices in my head.

01:25:22.600 You have three new voice messages.

01:25:25.340 A lot of people are talking about Kite Club.

01:25:28.660 I've been talking about Kite Club for so long.

01:25:31.340 Longer than anybody else.

01:25:33.000 So great.

01:25:34.320 Hi.

01:25:34.960 Swaya.

01:25:35.980 Easy deal.

01:25:37.260 Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker.

01:25:41.260 Jermaine.

01:25:42.500 Ho ho. 1.00

01:25:43.320 I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese and a McFlurry.

01:25:46.320 Sorry, sir, but our ice cream machine is broken.

01:25:48.400 Ho ho ho! 1.00

01:25:49.660 No!

01:25:50.660 I think Tom Hanks just butt-dialed me.

01:25:52.940 Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is,

01:25:55.520 tell everyone about Kite Club.

01:25:57.300 Second rule of Kite Club is,
