00:01:42.000 If it was like a simple wrestling, nobody going to talk about that.
00:01:46.380 You got to do something unusual.

00:02:13.720 Like, what's good?
00:02:15.280 I mean, they don't want to tell me how much they pay me
00:02:17.640 because other wrestlers want the same money.
00:02:22.940 I got it.
00:02:24.000 But, like, you can buy a good Patek Philippe.
00:02:27.680 You can buy a good Patek Philippe.

00:02:34.000 But, like, this one you got to do, like, six, seven.
00:02:36.640 Six, seven, I get this one.
00:02:39.200 He knows watches.
00:02:41.620 So from your experience with UFC, because UFC publicizes the biggest payday, right?
00:02:47.780 What's the most money you made with UFC?
00:02:49.880 With UFC?
00:02:51.580 More than a half a million.
00:02:52.900 More than a half a million in a fight.
00:02:54.340 Okay.
00:02:55.100 And the last person you fought?
00:02:58.280 Dan Hooker.
00:02:58.940 Dan Hooker, which was about a year ago, right?
00:03:00.520 He's the one that you headbutted in the pre...
00:03:02.800 Before Wayne's. 0.84
00:03:04.160 Because I hate this guy.
00:03:05.480 And then he tried to flinch me.
00:03:07.740 And then I said, sometimes I cannot control myself.
00:03:11.680 If the guy is good, cool, I'm cool too.
00:03:15.240 But if someone wants to flinch you and make you scared,
00:03:18.840 I'm not going to step back straight forward.
00:03:22.780 To him?
00:03:23.360 Yeah.
00:03:24.220 Okay, so this guy, you didn't like him from the beginning?
00:03:26.440 No, I didn't like him because we were talking trash about,
00:03:28.880 he was talking bad about me, this, that. 0.97
00:03:32.740 And then now I like him because I beat him.
00:03:37.240 Yeah, it's always like that.
00:03:38.140 Once you beat him, you're friends with him, right?
00:03:39.540 It's different when you're fighting.
00:03:40.280 Yeah, but he has a bad mouth.
