00:05:46.840 Treating me like a piece of shit. 1.00
00:05:49.040 And, 1.00
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, 1.00
00:05:56.480 Fuck you, 1.00
00:05:57.080 Asshole. 1.00
00:05:57.880 And he walked around, 1.00
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,

00:06:11.040 Trust me.
00:06:11.420 Yeah.
00:06:11.800 And then he just walked away,
00:06:13.080 Basically saying, 1.00
00:06:13.680 I will kick your ass. 1.00
00:06:15.280 He wouldn't do shit. 1.00
00:06:16.740 But then that guy, 0.95
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,

00:06:26.780 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, 0.98
00:07:27.840 You will fucking get it no matter what. 0.97
00:07:29.520 Yeah, 0.99
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, 1.00
00:08:48.640 I love crazy shit. 1.00
00:08:51.260 Like, 0.99
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, 0.99
00:09:37.580 To do crazy shit. 0.99
00:09:38.540 And when I was a little kid, 0.99
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, 1.00
00:09:51.140 You're fucked. 1.00
00:09:51.820 Really? 1.00
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, 0.98
00:10:06.760 And they're all like real killers. 0.96
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, 0.92
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. 1.00
00:10:40.080 I get my ass kicked a thousand times. 1.00
00:10:42.000 Did you ever fight any grown men or it was just children? 1.00
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, 0.99
00:11:39.300 This is fucking crazy. 0.99
00:11:40.260 Like, 1.00
00:11:40.420 I'm an expectator to two fucking guys in a cage beating the shit of each other for money. 1.00
00:11:49.020 And of course, 1.00
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. 1.00
00:12:08.120 I want to fuck you up. 1.00
00:12:09.400 Yeah. 1.00
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, 0.99
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, 0.99
00:12:45.700 It doesn't matter if the guy talks shit, 1.00
00:12:47.220 If the guy's a quiet guy, 0.99
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. 0.98
00:13:22.680 It's fucking right to fight. 0.99
00:13:23.740 You know, 0.97
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, 1.00
00:14:02.400 Fuck, 1.00
00:14:02.840 That's a tiger of the universe right there. 1.00
00:14:04.820 I was like, 0.99
00:14:05.600 Holy shit. 1.00
00:14:06.480 Oh yeah, 1.00
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. 1.00
00:14:17.100 That's a fucking legend too. 0.99
00:14:18.820 You kind of remind me of one of those guys, 0.99
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, 1.00
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. 0.99
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, 1.00
00:15:15.280 Because I would do just dumb shit. 1.00
00:15:16.700 Here you go. 1.00
00:15:17.300 Oh, shit. 0.99
00:15:17.820 This is definitely, 1.00
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, 0.99
00:15:32.100 New York and shit, 0.98
00:15:32.680 I was like, 0.99
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.

00:15:41.700 He's a new guy every two months.
00:15:44.580 And I can make her laugh,

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.

00:16:35.260 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, 0.85
00:17:05.360 You're like that fist hippie, 1.00
00:17:07.040 Kind of, 0.76
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, 1.00
00:18:48.480 I'm a fucking nerd. 1.00
00:18:49.400 I'm watching, 1.00
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, 1.00
00:19:07.860 You can crack that motherfucker with a baseball bat and he will fire back at you. 1.00
00:19:12.480 Cody Simon get crack in the face and he's almost like he goes into panic mode. 1.00
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, 0.99
00:19:21.420 Oh shit, 0.99
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, 1.00
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, 1.00
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, 1.00
00:19:43.260 Fuck you, 1.00
00:19:44.220 dude. 1.00
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? 0.99
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, 0.99
00:20:16.160 I'm not celebrating shit tonight. 0.99
00:20:17.780 Right. 0.99
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.
00:21:04.620 And,

00:21:11.580 Nobody's going to do it for you.
00:21:12.740 Not at this age.
00:21:15.220 And that's probably good.
00:21:17.020 You know,
00:21:17.440 it's almost unreal though, 1.00
00:21:18.520 that there's nowhere you can take your balls or your wanker into a shop and get them to tighten you up, 1.00

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, 0.99
00:24:29.440 but I think it's the only one that you can not fuck around. 0.99
00:24:32.540 I know surfers that parry, 0.99
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. 1.00
00:24:39.200 They're fucking going crazy. 1.00
00:24:41.260 Doing coke, 1.00
00:24:42.120 doing whatever,
00:24:42.960 partying, 1.00
00:24:43.660 eating fucking yogurt, 1.00
00:24:45.320 they look fucking good. 1.00
00:24:46.600 Diet, 1.00
00:24:47.040 whatever,
00:24:47.480 sugar. 0.99
00:24:47.820 They look fucking great. 0.99
00:24:50.780 Basketball, 0.99
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, 1.00
00:25:02.660 fighting is too gnarly to fuck around. 1.00
00:25:04.660 Fighting is too crazy. 1.00
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, 0.92
00:25:22.560 energetic monkey. 0.96
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, 1.00
00:25:42.260 fuck. 1.00
00:25:43.140 It's beautiful. 1.00
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, 1.00
00:25:48.640 we just eat cows and fucking pork. 1.00
00:25:51.640 We don't fuck around. 1.00
00:25:52.380 We don't eat dogs. 1.00
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, 1.00
00:26:01.720 but fuck. 0.99
00:26:03.040 I think that's just more for fun. 1.00
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. 1.00
00:26:12.060 Damn. 1.00
00:26:12.600 And I've been in that town and they're like, 1.00
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. 1.00
00:26:17.320 I don't give a fuck. 0.99
00:26:18.760 Right. 1.00
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. 1.00
00:26:25.340 Yeah. 0.99
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. 1.00
00:26:56.560 They fucking. 1.00
00:26:57.200 This, 1.00
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, 1.00
00:27:09.380 fuck you throw that to, 1.00
00:27:11.480 to me. 1.00
00:27:12.060 I'm in your face.
00:27:12.960 I'm like, 0.99
00:27:13.300 I'm going to try to take your head off right away because it's energy. 0.98
00:27:16.780 Like if somebody hit you that hard and you kind of like, 0.98
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, 0.81
00:28:24.100 it's ready to die.
00:28:25.880 Like it's, 1.00
00:28:26.380 it's a hard fucking guy or it's a guy that is kind of like, 0.99
00:28:28.940 you know what? 0.99
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. 1.00
00:29:36.180 Why get your ass kicked in front of the whole world just because you're a fucking lazy fuck? 1.00
00:29:40.880 Who was the best fighter you ever trained with? 1.00
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. 1.00
00:30:36.040 And if you treat like shit, 1.00
00:30:37.020 everybody, 1.00
00:30:37.880 I don't want to hang out with you. 1.00
00:30:39.020 I don't want to be around that shit because it's like, 1.00
00:30:42.940 even if I'm not like that and I let you be like that, 1.00
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. 1.00
00:31:02.840 Like even if you are a famous person and you're a piece of shit, 1.00
00:31:06.220 I'm like, 1.00
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, 1.00
00:34:00.680 if he's a fuck you, 1.00
00:34:01.540 then I guess we're fighting. 1.00
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, 1.00
00:36:27.780 I'm the idiot that couldn't get out. 1.00
00:36:32.040 Yeah. 1.00
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. 1.00
00:37:37.660 He don't talk shit, 1.00
00:37:38.640 but he wins. 1.00
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, 0.98
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, 1.00
00:37:49.200 that's the crazy shit that you do. 1.00
00:37:51.100 And people is like, 1.00
00:37:51.920 fuck, 1.00
00:37:52.160 this guy's real. 1.00
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. 0.77
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. 0.81
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 0.95
00:38:45.800 because if I can punch you, 0.99
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? 0.79
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. 1.00
00:39:58.200 I feel the same shit you feel 0.99
00:39:59.440 but I can control that feeling. 0.99
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 1.00
00:40:11.740 all the crazy shit in the world. 1.00
00:40:13.920 I can lie to you. 1.00
00:40:14.780 I can tell you, 1.00
00:40:16.000 fuck, 1.00
00:40:17.260 that my dick is bigger four inches 1.00
00:40:18.640 more than normal is 1.00
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, 0.99
00:40:39.040 damn, 0.99
00:40:39.240 I might die 1.00
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 0.91
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 1.00
00:41:03.680 kicked your ass. 1.00
00:41:04.600 Something really bad 1.00
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. 1.00
00:42:49.900 I won't get offended by that shit. 1.00
00:42:51.720 Oh, 1.00
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 0.96
00:43:32.960 and he can be clowny. 0.77
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, 0.99
00:43:50.980 he's fucking around. 0.99
00:43:52.740 He's, 1.00
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. 1.00
00:43:58.960 If you hear all the shit I say sometimes, 0.99
00:44:01.340 you would think I'm not this person. 0.99
00:44:03.120 But it's just the,
00:44:04.060 it's the way, 1.00
00:44:04.520 I'm talking shit 1.00
00:44:05.240 99% of the day. 1.00
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. 1.00
00:44:09.640 I'm just talking shit. 0.99
00:44:10.720 Right. 1.00
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, 0.99
00:44:22.460 I'm going to fucking sit in the cage, bro. 0.99
00:44:24.000 Yeah. 1.00
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. 0.99
00:44:31.780 I'm going to fucking go 1.00
00:44:32.520 and throw at him. 1.00
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 0.99
00:44:37.000 this shit talking or promos, 0.99
00:44:40.500 it doesn't give me 1.00
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. 0.99
00:45:02.740 I kicked him in the leg. 0.99
00:45:04.280 He should give up. 0.88
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, 1.00
00:45:12.120 if your fucking opponent 1.00
00:45:13.000 doesn't have a broken foot, 1.00
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 1.00
00:45:17.300 and just kick his ass? 1.00
00:45:18.920 But that's also 1.00
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, 0.98
00:46:17.420 he can take punches in the face. 0.70
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. 0.75
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 0.79
00:46:36.420 as you could punch somebody.
00:46:37.580 I don't think you could punch somebody 0.77
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 0.89
00:46:45.840 that many times. 0.81
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 0.99
00:46:54.080 people took shit on him, 0.99
00:46:55.500 which I don't give a fuck 1.00
00:46:56.560 what people say 0.94
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. 1.00
00:47:05.440 I don't live off that shit. 1.00
00:47:06.560 Right. 1.00
00:47:06.800 I don't give a shit who he is 0.99
00:47:07.980 or what he does for a living. 0.99
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, 0.99
00:48:08.780 I don't really give a fuck. 0.98
00:48:10.320 Like, 0.98
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, 1.00
00:48:52.960 fuck it, 1.00
00:48:53.280 that dude, 1.00
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
00:49:26.960 coming up,
00:49:27.580 so,
00:49:28.640 do you feel like you're going to
00:49:30.060 have to sit and wait?
00:49:30.900 Do you feel like you're going to
00:49:31.660 have to fight somebody that's
00:49:33.060 lower ranked than you?
00:49:34.100 Or what do you think you're going
00:49:34.940 to have to do?
00:49:35.340 Because there's not even any,
00:49:36.360 I don't think in the next four
00:49:37.420 or five cards,
00:49:38.060 there's even a Bantamweight fight
00:49:39.360 on the,
00:49:39.860 on the horizons.
00:49:41.780 No,
00:49:42.260 it's just the,
00:49:44.260 it's just Jam fighting Starling
00:49:45.840 in April,
00:49:47.160 I believe now,
00:49:47.980 in Florida.
00:49:49.680 And then,
00:49:50.800 that's about it.

00:50:29.660 Like,
00:50:29.780 what do you really,
00:50:30.420 because you,

00:50:44.840 You would be the fastest fucking farmer. 1.00
00:50:46.460 I would be jagged too. 1.00
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,

00:50:59.180 I,
00:50:59.520 oh,
00:50:59.840 when I was a kid,

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,

00:54:02.460 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, 0.95
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, 0.69
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, 0.97
00:55:13.560 seven years ago he wasn't the fucking guy that is now, 0.98
00:55:17.700 but he, 0.98
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. 1.00
00:55:37.680 We all want to do something in life unless you're a fucking lazy piece of shit. 1.00
00:55:41.460 But if you're really putting your ending in something, 1.00
00:55:45.540 it's just,
00:55:46.180 you know, 0.96
00:55:46.680 get the lessons from the past and fucking enjoy today because most, 0.98
00:55:52.160 most people or some people, 0.99
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, 1.00
00:56:43.780 fuck this shit. 1.00
00:56:44.320 They hate to be sitting here to listen to a fucking person to telling me two plus two is four. 1.00
00:56:49.620 Fuck that. 1.00
00:56:50.480 Fuck that teacher. 1.00
00:56:51.760 And then everybody was like, 1.00
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, 1.00
00:57:02.760 fuck you. 1.00
00:57:04.280 And until today, 1.00
00:57:05.260 I'm like,
00:57:05.640 I don't want to go back to that. 0.99
00:57:06.800 But I was just not made to be sitting down and learning a fucking equation. 0.99
00:57:11.720 Yeah. 0.99
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. 0.99
00:57:43.680 Like this fucking equation is not this, 0.99
00:57:45.620 this notebooks are not gonna take me out of problems. 0.99
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, 0.98
01:01:41.340 get the fuck out. 1.00
01:01:42.220 Wow. 1.00
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, 1.00
01:01:53.880 what the fuck? 1.00
01:01:54.700 You say Ecuador suck? 1.00
01:01:56.160 I'm not saying that, 0.99
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 0.99
01:02:52.940 that they're fucking good. 0.99
01:02:54.060 That, 0.99
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, 1.00
01:03:14.620 fuck you. 1.00
01:03:15.520 You were saying Ecuador, 1.00
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. 0.93
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. 0.99
01:04:40.300 It was a fucking good time. 1.00
01:04:41.540 Fuck. 1.00
01:04:42.140 I wish we should FaceTime him 1.00
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, 1.00
01:04:55.300 that fucking arena 1.00
01:04:56.460 turned. 1.00
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, 1.00
01:05:06.660 fuck, 0.99
01:05:07.240 this is a lot 1.00
01:05:08.180 of fucking Mexicanos here. 1.00
01:05:09.580 I was like, 1.00
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, 1.00
01:06:39.740 America is the fucking continent. 1.00
01:06:41.380 Like, 1.00
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, 1.00
01:07:01.100 fuck. 1.00
01:07:01.660 Yeah, 1.00
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 1.00
01:09:13.800 and say fuck you. 1.00
01:09:15.120 It was a great fight dude. 1.00
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 1.00
01:09:37.820 is a shitty job. 0.99
01:09:38.880 I, 0.99
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 0.99
01:09:56.340 is a shitty job 0.98
01:09:57.080 and none of those guys 0.98
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, 1.00
01:10:17.060 you're fucked then. 1.00
01:10:17.860 Who isn't a boxing referee? 1.00
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, 0.98
01:10:25.400 no dick punches 0.97
01:10:26.260 and then no clinching, 0.94
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, 0.97
01:10:35.920 you know, 0.99
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, 1.00
01:10:43.980 they don't fucking, 0.99
01:10:44.700 you know what I'm saying? 0.99
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, 1.00
01:10:57.680 what the fuck is going on? 1.00
01:10:59.340 Like, 1.00
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, 1.00
01:11:21.700 then you get your head chopped. 1.00
01:11:24.740 You know, 0.99
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 1.00
01:11:37.800 a piece of shit, 1.00
01:11:38.620 you know? 1.00
01:11:39.780 The system is pretty fucked up, 0.99
01:11:42.060 the way things work, 0.99
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 1.00
01:11:48.060 using it and shit. 0.99
01:11:49.740 And it didn't do shit. 1.00
01:11:51.160 It didn't work? 0.98
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, 1.00
01:11:57.120 that dude's a fucking idiot. 1.00
01:11:59.200 That thing doesn't work, 1.00
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. 1.00
01:12:53.020 I can talk shit. 0.99
01:12:54.420 I can say funny, 1.00
01:12:56.060 funky shit. 0.99
01:12:56.840 But, 1.00
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 1.00
01:13:08.800 to do all this shit. 1.00
01:13:10.780 Right. 1.00
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, 1.00
01:13:30.500 holy shit. 0.99
01:13:31.780 I didn't know 1.00
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, 1.00
01:13:37.580 what the fuck? 1.00
01:13:38.560 I'm not used to this. 1.00
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. 0.99
01:14:20.680 I know I can talk shit. 0.98
01:14:21.640 I know I can crack some jokes, 1.00
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, 1.00
01:14:38.320 I know I can do more shit. 1.00
01:14:40.560 At the moment, 1.00
01:14:41.600 it's one goal.
01:14:42.840 Be a world champion 1.00
01:14:43.680 and just kick ass. 0.99
01:14:45.500 There's, 1.00
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. 0.99
01:15:01.020 Damn, 1.00
01:15:01.560 man. 1.00
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, 1.00
01:15:16.820 what the fuck 1.00
01:15:17.580 is going on, 1.00
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, 0.81
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, 1.00
01:17:17.840 fuck, 1.00
01:17:18.060 my bank account 1.00
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, 1.00
01:17:33.780 send the fucking contract 1.00
01:17:35.300 like tomorrow, 1.00
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, 1.00
01:18:46.380 fuck it. 1.00
01:18:47.560 Dude, 1.00
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, 1.00
01:18:52.800 I'm going to kill this guy. 0.99
01:18:53.960 And could you smell people 1.00
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, 1.00
01:18:59.700 fuck you, 1.00
01:19:00.580 you will die. 1.00
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 1.00
01:19:33.060 has to kill me. 1.00
01:19:33.940 Like, 1.00
01:19:34.780 there's no fucking 0.99
01:19:36.140 turn around for me. 0.99
01:19:38.460 I don't want to go back.
01:19:39.520 Yeah. 0.78
01:19:39.780 I don't want to be a loser 0.64
01:19:41.180 and go back home. 0.86
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 1.00
01:19:50.920 accepting that fucking 1.00
01:19:52.860 going back. 1.00
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 0.97
01:20:11.820 material shit. 0.97
01:20:12.840 But I just have it all. 0.99
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, 0.91
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 1.00
01:20:52.700 a little soft bitch, 1.00
01:20:54.360 they will see that. 1.00
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. 1.00
01:21:06.940 Damn, 1.00
01:21:07.580 boy, 0.99
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. 1.00
01:21:13.840 Damn. 0.99
01:21:14.300 We didn't touch 1.00
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, 0.99
01:21:19.460 but damn, 1.00
01:21:20.220 boy, 1.00
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? 1.00
01:21:41.940 Fuck, 1.00
01:21:42.500 when we were young, 1.00
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 0.99
01:22:34.960 and there was no fucking 0.99
01:22:36.620 stopping that. 0.98
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, 1.00
01:22:45.880 I'll be fucking, 0.99
01:22:48.160 I don't know where I'll be, 0.99
01:22:49.180 bro.
01:22:49.480 Even my,
01:22:50.140 all my friends, 1.00
01:22:51.260 they're all dumb. 1.00
01:22:52.480 They're all fucking, 1.00
01:22:53.600 it's all fucking around. 1.00
01:22:55.700 Oh, 0.99

01:23:01.380 drunk.
01:23:01.920 Yeah. 1.00
01:23:02.600 It was just dumb shit. 1.00
01:23:04.260 You were meant to be in a cage 1.00
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. 1.00
01:25:37.260 Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker. 1.00
01:25:41.260 Jermaine. 1.00
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,

01:26:01.520 Third rule,
01:26:02.460 like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts,

01:26:07.280 And yes, don't worry,
01:26:08.600 my Brad Pitt impression will get better.
