So, in the middle of 00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:18.229 all I'm sitting there, I'm like I'm 00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:20.310 confused. I'm like, "Am I about to get 00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:22.870 in a fight?

I love chopping it up 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.590 with people. I'm like, "Okay, this dude 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.430 obviously doesn't remember me, you 00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:33.590 know." And also, you know, like you 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.830 said, there was a glare. I mean, it was 00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:38.710 it was very packed in there, too. So, I 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.629 was just like, "All right." And then I 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.629 had all my people around me and they're 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.510 confused. So, they're like, "What are we 00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:47.830 about to get into?" And I was like, "I 00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:49.990 don't know." I was even walking to the 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.670 car. I was like, that was the most 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.030 confusing hello I've ever said in my 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.629 entire life to somebody. I was like, I 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.070 didn't know whether I was about to get 00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:00.070 in a fight or if I was about to dap him 00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:02.790 up or if or if he was joking with me. 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.710 And I I for a second I was like, "Bro, 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.350 that it threw me for a [ __ ] loop, 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.790 dog." Like I And then I then I hit him 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.990 up on IG and he was like, "Bro, my bad." 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.990 I was like He was like, "I was already 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.070 pissed off. I was in that mindset 00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:19.830 because this dude's been talking [ __ ] 00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:22.390 and I didn't know if that was you. I was 00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:24.150 like, "Nah, bro." I was like, "If you 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.950 you gonna if I'm gonna talk [ __ ] I'm 00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:28.710 gonna come up straight up to you and be 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.350 like, we just gonna go right at it." And 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.909 uh but no, I I I respect Julian. He's a 00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:36.550 cool ass dude. He's he's got a great uh 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.990 fan base. Um and uh you know, we 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.749 actually talked a little bit at the 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:43.430 event and he was like, "Man, come down 00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:46.230 to Florida. let's get some rounds in 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.430 together. Um, and I yeah, I I like him a 00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:51.350 lot. I I like I respect him as an 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.430 athlete and he's got, you know, he's 00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:55.510 he's been in the game for a very very 00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:58.550 long time. So, like to to have somebody 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.070 like that in your corner and stuff like 00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:02.390 that and showing support and then have 00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:04.950 that funny backstory with it, it's uh 00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:07.909 it's pretty cool. So, it it it was funny 00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:09.749 as hell because the next night, well, 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.990 the next day I spoke to GoGo Seves. 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.309 Uhhuh. And he says, "I'm not going to do 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.510 that. I'm just going to go and knock you 00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:16.950 in your mouth." Like, that's what's 00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:18.390 going to happen. Same type of thing, 00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:20.550 right? I'm not gonna I'm not going to 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.469 say, "What's up? I'm just going to knock 00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:24.790 your ass out." type of thing. And I'm 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.629 with my wife the next evening and she 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.670 says, "That's the guy from 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.350 yesterday." Who? Like the guy in the 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.070 Dolphins jersey. I said, "Really? I 00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:36.230 thought the guy was bald. That's how 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.870 bad." like eyewitness eyewitness 00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:41.430 testimony is some of the worst testimony 00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:43.189 on earth because you don't even know 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.390 what you're looking at, you know, and 00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:46.629 when it gets, you know, kind of a little 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.710 chaotic, you're like, "Wait, do I got to 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.070 get my wife out of here?" Because my my 00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:52.550 wife is behind the camera. Yeah. And I'm 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.390 s because we had a previous experience 00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:58.150 at a BKSC event after a fight at the 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.469 Hard Rock where a fight broke out in the 00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:02.629 back hallway. People may not know about 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.189 it, but a fight broke out in the back 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.110 hallway between a fighter who had just 00:07:07.120

--> 00:07:09.670 fought and a group of fight I'm sorry, a 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.430 fighter who was there and a fighter with 00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:14.230 his entourage who had just fought and it 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:15.589 happened in the back hallway next to the 00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:18.710 press room and she almost got trampled 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.629 in that situation. I'm like, yo, this is 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.350 craziness. So 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.790 is there's always a lot of 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.950 confrontations that actually happen 00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:30.309 right when podcasts or like interviews 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.309 are about to start and I was like maybe 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.150 he thinks I'm just trying to push up on 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:35.990 them because now I get now I can get it 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.749 on camera and I as I'm riding back to I 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.670 was like yeah maybe I should have like 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.309 waited or like you know it was bad 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.950 timing on my part but like with me I I'm 00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:48.790 I just like I said I say what's up to 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.550 everybody that I like I don't like you, 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.230 then I'm just going to push up on you 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.749 and you're going to know right off the 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.350 rip that way we're just going to get 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.150 after it.

He was, 00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:24.070 "Yeah, let's get together." So, Donald's 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.430 my boy. We actually we fought um in 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.750 Turkey and you know how it is. You fight 00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:32.230 somebody and you sort of you got that 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.829 mutual respect now. And uh but yeah, I 00:09:35.839 --> 00:09:37.030 didn't even know that I was going to be 00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:40.630 coming out here until about a week ago. 00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:43.269 And then um you know, it's I got some 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.150 good rounds in with Mandelle. Um me and 00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:48.230 Donald have been talking about getting 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.990 me out here, but they were actually 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.590 thinking about putting me on the 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.670 Albuquerque card against one of his 00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:55.509 teammates. So that was like a conflict 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.910 of interest. So we were like, let's wait 00:09:57.920 --> 00:09:59.829 off wait it off. My fight got pulled off 00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:02.790 the card. Um, don't know really know 00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:05.509 what happened with that, but you know, 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.030 it is what it is. Fight fight fights 00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:09.670 fall through and um, now, you know, I'm 00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:11.350 just helping him get focused and 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.990 finishing his camp. Um, you know, it's 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.790 uh, he he's ready. I know that he's 00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:18.150 ready. I know that Mandelle's going to 00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:20.550 be ready. So, I'm I'm definitely excited 00:10:20.560 --> 00:10:23.590 to watch that fight. Also, because now I 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:28.790 am coming down to 175 from 185 and um 00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:30.949 you know, see who I'm going to have to 00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:33.190 get my sights on. 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.269 I mean, talk about talk about that. I 00:10:35.279

--> 00:10:36.870 mean, you you know, you fight a guy and 00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:38.069 now you're training with the guy. Like 00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:41.030 you said, there's respect. I mean, what 00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:43.630 do pe what do people not understand 00:10:43.640 --> 00:10:48.790 about combat sports athletes who I see 00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:49.910 this a lot, you know, guys train 00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:51.350 together after they fought each other, 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.350 you know, and so forth. Because of that 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.710 respect, what do people not understand 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:55.829 about it? Because some people would say, 00:10:55.839 --> 00:10:57.509 "This guy just punched me in the face. 00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.910 How am I friends with him?" Yeah, man. 00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:02.310 Honestly, like to to spend that time 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:03.910 with somebody in a ring, it's almost 00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:06.069 like a it's a weird way of saying, but 00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:08.590 it's like a bonding experience because 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.190 you sit there and you throw everything 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.190 you have at this person with the kitchen 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.630 sink and like Donald beat me and I give 00:11:16.640 --> 00:11:19.269 him, you know, I show I he but you know, 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.110 a lot of people were sleeping on me that 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.110 fight that. A lot of people said that I 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.310 was going to get knocked out in the 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:27.910 first round. And um I I think I gained 00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:30.630 more fans and more respect from Donald 00:11:30.640 --> 00:11:33.269 and the people of Albuquerque by putting 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.509 on a five round war with a guy who is 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.190 now fighting for a world title. And they 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.910 saw my heart that night. Like I had 00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:45.910 Donald's fans coming up to me telling me 00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:48.310 like you have the the heart of a 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.790 warrior. Even though you got dropped and 00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:52.870 you were facing adversity most of the 00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:55.590 fight, you you changed your game plan up 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.069 and you started to make it a fight like 00:11:58.079 --> 00:12:01.829 and he had to work for his win. And um 00:12:01.839 --> 00:12:04.630 you know like it's it's all like it's 00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:06.629 almost a mutual respect thing when you 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.550 go in there and you try to take somebody 00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:10.949 out and and you've given it your 00:12:10.959 --> 00:12:13.350 absolute all and they you're both still 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.430 standing there bloody battered at the 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.350 end of five rounds. It's it's almost 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.030 like you got to hug it out. You're like 00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:22.710 man you you you're you're you're a 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.190 warrior. I'm a warrior. We we just put 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:29.030 on for the [ __ ] city and and we were 00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:31.430 the only fight that night to go five 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.670 rounds. Yeah. I I actually I just 00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:35.269 rewatched it actually before we got on 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.030 here because I wanted to remember, you 00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:39.509 know, get bring it back to myself. He 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.310 clipped you in the first seconds, bro. 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.110 Did you get did you get up too fast? No. 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.550 So, what happened is my my coach because 00:12:48.560 --> 00:12:50.230 I'm right-handed, but Yeah. You were 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.150 fighting left-handed. Yeah. So, I'm a 00:12:52.160 --> 00:12:53.910 right-handed southpaw and that's how 00:12:53.920 --> 00:12:55.990 I've trained. I've trained right-handed 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.030 southpaw for 12 years. Mike at the time, 00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:01.829 we're not together anymore because of 00:13:01.839 --> 00:13:05.750 things, but um he was like, "No, man." 00:13:05.760 --> 00:13:06.790 He's like, "You need to fight 00:13:06.800 --> 00:13:09.509 right-handed." So, I went out off the 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.590 line right-handed through a double jab 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.350 cross. He clipped me right in the 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.190 temple. Boom. About sent me through the 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.110 ropes. And I was like, "Okay, yeah, this 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.110 isn't going to work for me." I was like, 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:22.550 "So, we're going to have to switch and 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:25.030 go back to what I'm comfortable at." And 00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:26.790 then once I was able to really settle 00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:29.030 into the fight, yeah, I got dropped 00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:31.030 again actually in the first round, but 00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:33.110 once I was able to settle in, I really 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.310 do don't come out the the greatest in 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.190 the first round. Um, second, third, and 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.269 fourth, I'm really good. My cardio is 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.230 has always been really good. Um, fifth 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.310 round, that Albuquerque elevation whoop 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.269 my ass. So, I was like I was on skates 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.509 for a little bit. I was just trying to 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.470 survive at that point. But um you know I 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.710 I tried to keep the fight as close as I 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.269 possibly could. I know that um I won a 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.350 few rounds. Um but you know, you come 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:02.870 into somebody's territory, you have to 00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:05.030 knock

them out. You got to and and 00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:07.350 especially facing the adversity I did so 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.350 early in the fight. If I did not knock 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.350 him out, then there was no way of me 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.670 being able to take that win. So I 00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:15.990 always, you know, I show respect to 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.590 Donald and I, you know, he had a good 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.230 game plan. He he stuck to his game plan. 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.069 Um, I know that I earned the respect of 00:14:22.079 --> 00:14:24.310 him and his coaches obviously because 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.629 they brought me here. They flew me from 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.310 Atlanta, Georgia to here because they 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.949 see what I'm capable of doing. They see 00:14:32.959 --> 00:14:35.670 the heart that I have and they know that 00:14:35.680 --> 00:14:37.590 I'm going to be like the icing on the 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.750 cake at the end of this fight camp. And 00:14:39.760 --> 00:14:42.150 you know what's crazy is I'm a 00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:44.629 right-handed southpaw and Mandelle is a 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:46.949 right-handed southpaw. 00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:49.750 So you write with your right hand? Yes. 00:14:49.760 --> 00:14:51.990 Okay. So yeah, that's why I asked you 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.430 like did did you think you got up too 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:55.189 quick because you got you you got 00:14:55.199 --> 00:14:57.590 clipped and you jumped up like that. 00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.750 Yeah. And then you got clipped again 00:14:59.760 --> 00:15:01.189 like a few seconds later. That's why I 00:15:01.199 --> 00:15:02.629 was asking if you maybe you got up too 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:04.870 quickly cuz you got hit square in the 00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:07.189 temple from what I saw. Yeah. Yeah. And 00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:09.269 that's why I asked that question. I I 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.350 don't really like to sit down long 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:12.710 because I want to show them. I'm like, 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.230 "Yeah, you clipped me, but I'm not going 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.030 to sit down there and like harp about 00:15:17.040 --> 00:15:21.670 it. I don't care how hard you hit. I 00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:23.590 want to get up and be able to like look 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.870 you right in your face and be like, 00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:27.030 "Okay, you got a good shot. Now it's my 00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:29.430 turn." What's What is the elevation in 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.629 Albuquerque? Um, I think we're currently 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.509 right now at 6,000 ft, but uh we're 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.590 going to be doing some training here in 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.430 the next day or so at 13,000 ft. So, 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.269 we're gonna be going up to the top of 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.670 the mountain uh out here in Albuquerque 00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:47.269 and we're going to be doing some workout 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.389 there. Um but yeah, we got some really 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.509 good hard sparring rounds in 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.749 yesterday. Um you know, they had a full 00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:00.069 gym ready watching us get him ready and 00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:02.710 he's he's dude, he's just doing good. 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.910 like he I've never, you know, I I I just 00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:10.069 now have become very close with Donald, 00:16:10.079 --> 00:16:11.870 but 00:16:11.880 --> 00:16:16.069 the this dude is on a mission. He is 00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:18.550 straight. This is all he's focusing on 00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:20.790 right now. He is he he has the right 00:16:20.800 --> 00:16:24.069 team around him and you know, they're 00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:26.710 making sacrifices day in and day out to 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.470 make sure that they win this fight. and 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.670 I I'm here and I see it, you know, and I 00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:33.910 I don't know how Mandel's camp is going. 00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:36.470 All I know is that I got, you know, good 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:41.590 five to six rounds in with him. Um, but 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.990 it's going to be a hell of a fight. A 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.069 really, really good fight. You got a man 00:16:46.079 --> 00:16:49.350 that is running through the division at 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.949 um Donald and then the guy who's at the 00:16:52.959 --> 00:16:55.269 top who is considered to be the number 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.949 one poundfor-pound fighter in the entire 00:16:57.959 --> 00:17:02.629 world. So I honestly I I I don't think 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.110 that Mandelle should be sleeping on 00:17:05.120 --> 00:17:07.829 Donald because this dude is on a on a 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.470 war path to to make a name for himself 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.429 and bring that belt to Albuquerque. 00:17:13.439 --> 00:17:14.350 you 00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:16.949 um you're also working with uh Cameron 00:17:16.959 --> 00:17:18.870 Deleno, the bull rider. That's how you 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:21.510 know we met and I talked to Cameron and 00:17:21.520 --> 00:17:23.669 got his backstory. I mean, it's crazy to 00:17:23.679 --> 00:17:25.750 listen to it. I mean, you know, you're 00:17:25.760 --> 00:17:27.750 fighting 2,000 pound bulls and getting 00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:29.270 smashed in the face. He told me his face 00:17:29.280 --> 00:17:32.310 got crushed by with a mask on. Yeah.

He's he's taking on 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.750 a lot of uh sacrifices well to make sure 00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:13.990 that he's going to be prepared. He is 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.630 fighting at 175, I believe. Um so, you 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.190 know, he's a big dude, man. He holds he 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.510 packs some muscle. And when I met 00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:27.110 Cameron, he was like 195 pounds. So, 00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:29.350 he's been working hard. He's staying 00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:31.830 consistent.

I told 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:48.150 him I was like, "Bro, if you can go five 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.190 rounds with me, you're going to smoke 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.630 smoke some fools." And that's the plan. 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.549 like I know that he is working very very 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.430 very hard and uh I'm excited to see how 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.510 well he does because you know it's 00:19:01.520 --> 00:19:05.590 almost like having a a protege and um I 00:19:05.600 --> 00:19:07.830 know he can take a [ __ ] hit because 00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:10.870 I've I don't know if you saw Cameron the 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.789 next day at the BKFC event.

Um, bare knuckle is rough 00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:26.230 enough already. Um, but yeah, man. It's 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.710 uh it's you got to be you got to be 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.789 mentally like right up there to like get 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.750 on a [ __ ] wild bull and be like be 00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:37.590 prepared to get yourself you could get 00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:40.870 killed just in an literally 8 seconds 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.789 that's all they have to I mean 8 seconds 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.990 is not a long time but against a 2,000B 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.870 [ __ ] bull that would seem like a 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.549 lifetime. I mean, I I couldn't I 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:55.190 couldn't imagine the adrenaline going 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:56.630 through your body when you're sitting 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.549 there in that cage and they they just 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.310 let that thing loose. It's uh I mean it 00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:04.549 it's not it it ain't there's nothing 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.390 comparable to that. I don't even think a 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.390 bare knuckle fight would be comparable 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.470 to that. So, I think uh I think he 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.950 mentally he's he's prepared to be able 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.830 to take on any man. I mean, if you're 00:21:15.840 --> 00:21:18.470 riding bulls like that, dude, for the 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.350 PBR, too, those are the biggest baddest 00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:24.310 bulls in the world. Yeah. I mean, he he 00:21:24.320 --> 00:21:25.990 uh you know, he told me one one bull 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.070 riding event, he had his head split open 00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:30.630 and they had to just glue it. Glued it. 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.230 Had to glue it because if he stay if he 00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.549 if he stitched it, he wouldn't ride the 00:21:34.559 -->

00:21:36.549 next day or two and he was out. So, he 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:38.549 just glued it. Yeah. Then he's mentioned 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:40.470 his face getting crushed where he broke 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.110 his nose, his all his entire face. If he 00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:44.549 didn't have a mass, he'd have been dead. 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.029 He also mentioned to me that when you 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.630 when you squeeze your legs around the 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:50.149 bull, you have to be tight, but you have 00:21:50.159 --> 00:21:51.270 to be loose. So, it's like a 00:21:51.280 --> 00:21:53.590 combination. Yeah. But 3 seconds on a 00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:56.230 bull feels like a multiple day leg 00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.230 workout where you're so damn sore the 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.430 next day. Yeah. Like that is insane. You 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.430 ride for a whole weekend. That's like, 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.430 bro, you just go ahead and put me on a 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.270 gurnie. Take me to the hospital. I'm 00:22:07.280 --> 00:22:10.789 gonna be sitting there for a month. Like 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.110 I wrote, bro, let me tell you this.

I get I get thrown off at 59 00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:28.870 seconds." And the dude just launches me. 00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.990 I got off the bull. I had so much 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.470 chafing between my legs. And I woke up 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.870 the next day. I was like, "Babe, who the 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:40.789 [ __ ] leg kicked me?" And she was like, 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:43.909 "No, that bull you rode you."

And 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.630 when I decided to get sober, I I 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:08.310 couldn't even look at myself in the 00:26:08.320 --> 00:26:10.390 mirror because I was so ashamed of what 00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.909 I had become. And it took me a long time 00:26:13.919 --> 00:26:16.950 to be a be able to love myself again. 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.909 But eventually over time and over like 00:26:19.919 --> 00:26:22.230 working the steps of the programs that I 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.510 was in, I was able to get through some 00:26:25.520 --> 00:26:28.149 of these things that I that had been 00:26:28.159 --> 00:26:30.710 really taking me down a level of like 00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:32.549 inconsistency. 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:37.269 uh not believing in myself, um losing f 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:39.350 friends, family, like I all of these 00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:41.990 things that I've done in my life were 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:44.549 able to be mended through the work that 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.110 I did getting sober and it changed my 00:26:47.120 --> 00:26:48.950 life.

Um, you 00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:11.510 know, you can always bounce back, but 00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:14.310 you have to surround yourself around the 00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:16.630 right people. I had to learn to change 00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.909 people, places, and things early on in 00:27:19.919 --> 00:27:22.070 my life.

You can't go to the same 00:27:27.520 --> 00:27:29.669 places that you frequented and you can't 00:27:29.679 --> 00:27:31.590 do the same [ __ ] You got to change your 00:27:31.600 --> 00:27:33.909 life.

It's not this glamorous like 00:27:53.919 --> 00:27:55.750 thing that you see on the movies where 00:27:55.760 --> 00:27:57.909 you're partying and [ __ ] Like my two 00:27:57.919 --> 00:28:00.549 best friends are my little girls, dog. 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:05.549 My I almost lost them.

So, the fact that I was 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:14.310 able to bounce back from that, I even 00:28:14.320 --> 00:28:16.149 get a little emotional just thinking 00:28:16.159 --> 00:28:18.789 about it because how far I've come to 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:21.750 where I am today, people trust me, they 00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:23.750 believe in me, they would give they 00:28:23.760 --> 00:28:25.750 would like and they know that I'm a 00:28:25.760 --> 00:28:28.870 dependable person. So, like you call me, 00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:31.669 I'm there. Like, back in the day, I 00:28:31.679 --> 00:28:33.430 wouldn't care because all I cared about 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.870 was myself. I was a very selfish person. 00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:39.350 So, that's a little bit Yeah, I got a 00:28:39.360 --> 00:28:40.549 little deep on there, but you know what 00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:42.470 I'm saying? I just uh I want people to 00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:45.269 know like there is a way out no matter 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.909 what you go through.

I call her my wife. 00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.230 We're actually She's She's She's my 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.269 fiance. Um you know, I put a ring on it 00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:32.470 already. Um, but yeah, she is in uh 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:35.110 school right now and when she graduates 00:29:35.120 --> 00:29:37.350 school, we're going to get married. What 00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:39.590 I mean, I'm sure that there are times 00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:41.830 where you guys talk about this type of 00:29:41.840 --> 00:29:45.990 thing and the path and how you've when 00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:47.590 and how you've worked through these 00:29:47.600 --> 00:29:49.990 issues for yourself individually, but 00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:51.750 also within your relationship with your 00:29:51.760 --> 00:29:54.389 children. Do you ever sit back and 00:29:54.399 --> 00:29:57.350 think, my goodness, I mean, how lucky 00:29:57.360 --> 00:30:00.310 you are. They're still there, you know, 00:30:00.320 --> 00:30:03.630 grateful. Yeah. 00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:05.870 Um, 00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.549 like it's like a whole different meaning 00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.350 to fighting now because I used to fight 00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:14.470 for myself and I'm a very emotional 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:18.870 person. Um, what I before I fight, dude, 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:20.149 you you would think I was getting ready 00:30:20.159 --> 00:30:24.710 for a funeral. Like tears in my eyes 00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:26.710 because I'm a very I'm I'm I'm very in 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:28.470 tune with my emotions. And a lot of 00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:30.630 fighters, bro, I was in the back back 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:32.870 room in Albuquerque. All these dudes are 00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:36.190 like, "Ah, getting ready. I'm crying, 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.029 dog. I'm over here crying." But dog, 00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:41.990 like that's how I heal and that's how 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.230 myself ready because I think about 00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:46.230 everything that Harrison has been 00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.830 through over the past decade and where I 00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:52.389 and it's almost a an emotional thing 00:30:52.399 --> 00:30:55.750 because I'm I'm happy. I'm where I'm I'm 00:30:55.760 --> 00:30:58.389 where God has has led

me to be in my 00:30:58.399 --> 00:31:02.230 life. But also, it's just another thing 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:04.950 to fight for, to show my kids, no matter 00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.590 what you go through, addiction, life 00:31:07.600 --> 00:31:10.630 problems, relationship problems, you can 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:12.789 get up, dust yourself off. And that's 00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:14.310 why when people are like, "Oh, 00:31:14.320 --> 00:31:15.350 Harrison's going to get knocked out of 00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:17.830 the first round." You can drop me. Yeah, 00:31:17.840 --> 00:31:19.830 you might drop me, but I damn sure going 00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:22.470 to get the [ __ ] back up. And that and 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:23.909 that goes for everything. You know what 00:31:23.919 --> 00:31:25.590 I'm saying? I've been knocked out. I've 00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:28.389 been knocked down so hard in life. There 00:31:28.399 --> 00:31:30.630 ain't nothing nothing another man can do 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:32.710 to me that would hurt more than what 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:34.909 I've already been through. You you know 00:31:34.919 --> 00:31:37.669 you you mentioned uh where was I have it 00:31:37.679 --> 00:31:39.470 right here. 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:43.029 Um you fought in multiple organizations. 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:46.470 Yes, sir. BYB, BKFC. What do you see 00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:47.830 differences in how these organizations 00:31:47.840 --> 00:31:50.310 are run? And what what do you like about 00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:52.149 the BKFC since that's the organization 00:31:52.159 --> 00:31:53.669 that you're in right now? I actually 00:31:53.679 --> 00:31:57.669 started with the BKFC. Um, and you know, 00:31:57.679 --> 00:32:00.549 I I I flew out to their one of their 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.750 first um, tryyouts in Kansas City and 00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:05.430 Nate Shook and I really hit it off 00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.230 pretty well. You know, I've known Chris 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:11.710 Lidle ever since then. Um, 00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:15.509 and they just showed me the respect of 00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:18.789 like, okay, like we know you're going 00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.509 through some [ __ ] they could tell, you 00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:24.470 know, sometimes you you it's not too 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.389 hard to see. Um Yeah. But um they gave 00:32:28.399 --> 00:32:30.630 me a chance when no one else would. 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.950 Yeah. Uh I had to really go through some 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:34.950 hard times like with this with the 00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:37.269 self-belief and not believing in myself. 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.350 Like I took some L's, bro. Like back to 00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:41.590 back to back. And then when I changed my 00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:44.149 life, I just skyro it just kept going up 00:32:44.159 --> 00:32:45.669 and kept going up and I'm kept winning. 00:32:45.679 --> 00:32:48.070 It kept winning and you

know I did just 00:32:48.080 --> 00:32:49.830 All right. Yeah. Yeah. So, what I was 00:32:49.840 --> 00:32:53.509 saying, uh, you know, I felt like I even 00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:56.110 walked away with more respect from the 00:32:56.120 --> 00:32:59.509 BKFC by showing my heart in this last 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:01.909 fight. Like I was saying with the uh 00:33:01.919 --> 00:33:04.549 with the Donald's fans, I mean, a lot of 00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:06.310 people were sleeping on me. I said in 00:33:06.320 --> 00:33:07.990 the in the pre-fight interview, I said 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.310 the only way I'm going out of of this of 00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:12.950 this city is if he's going to put me in 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:14.789 a body bag. and he was like, "If he 00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:16.230 wants," and then he goes, "If he wants 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:17.830 to be in a body bag, then that's why 00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:20.389 we're gonna do this." But like that's my 00:33:20.399 --> 00:33:22.310 mindset walking into these fights now. 00:33:22.320 --> 00:33:23.750 I'm like, "You know what? I've been 00:33:23.760 --> 00:33:26.789 beaten down so hard in life, and now 00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:29.269 that uh I've changed my life, I I I can 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:30.789 go through anything." But like, back to 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:33.430 the original question, BKFC is a great 00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:36.549 organization. BYB is both another great 00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:39.190 organization. I just see the growth more 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:41.029 in BKFC. 00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:43.110 I've seen, you know, how they have Conor 00:33:43.120 --> 00:33:46.430 McGregor on, you know, Dave Feldman. I I 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:50.870 really respect Dave a lot. Um, he's had 00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:52.870 it he and he had it rough. And he didn't 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.509 give up on his dream. He wasn't just 00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:57.509 handed [ __ ] You know what I'm saying? 00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.070 He had to work his ass off to get to 00:34:00.080 --> 00:34:02.389 where he is today. And he's a self-made 00:34:02.399 --> 00:34:05.430 man. And like that's me. That's what I 00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:07.990 I've been grinding my whole life. Like I 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.950 I own my own business. I had I had I get 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.349 up at 5:00 a.m. I go do workouts at 5:00 00:34:13.359 --> 00:34:15.190 a.m. I go work for eight hours. Then I 00:34:15.200 --> 00:34:18.790 go train for two hours after work. And 00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:22.950 like I know I can see that same mindset. 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.109 And that's what BKFC is looking for. 00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:27.109 Like they're not they're not telling you 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.990 you need to be this absolute animal like 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.629 this this absolute best in the world 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:34.790 because you can get there. You can get 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:36.550 there. As long as you show up and you 00:34:36.560 --> 00:34:38.629 show out and you put on a show, they're 00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.710 not going to kick you out of the [ __ ] 00:34:40.720 --> 00:34:43.669 uh organization if you take an L. I got 00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:48.550 more praise from BKFC from my last fight 00:34:48.560 --> 00:34:50.470 because they were like, "Man, we didn't 00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:52.069 even know you had that dog in you." 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.349 Like, in Donald Sanchez is a [ __ ] 00:34:55.359 --> 00:34:58.150 real fighter. This man had over 80 00:34:58.160 --> 00:35:01.829 professional fights. 80, which is I 00:35:01.839 --> 00:35:03.950 think the most in this 00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:07.670 organization. Um, and you know, I I I I 00:35:07.680 --> 00:35:10.630 know that he didn't look past me either. 00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:12.390 We've had our, you know, our heart-to-he 00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:14.390 heart conversations. He's like, "Man, I 00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:17.829 saw the potential in you. Um, and I've 00:35:17.839 --> 00:35:19.430 done my research and I know that you've 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:21.190 been through some [ __ ] and I think that 00:35:21.200 --> 00:35:24.390 that made you more dangerous because of 00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:27.109 what you've been through. Uh, people 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.349 were sleeping on you, but I wasn't." You 00:35:29.359 --> 00:35:30.630 know, when you when you you mentioned 00:35:30.640 --> 00:35:31.750 earlier, you talked about, you know, 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:33.190 when you get knocked down and you're not 00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:34.310 going to stay down, you're going to get 00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:36.069 back up and all that. Did you see the 00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:39.109 fights this weekend? Yes. Uh are you 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:40.630 talking about Salt Lake City? Salt Lake 00:35:40.640 --> 00:35:42.550 City. Yes. Yes, I Yeah, I was watching 00:35:42.560 --> 00:35:45.109 it. Okay. We all saw I mean what the 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:48.230 champion the title fight my god. Did you 00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:50.550 see the pictures? That was insane. I 00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:52.310 mean I'm friends with both of them on 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.310 Instagram. So he got us I mean Richmond 00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:57.030 had a slice through his head. He is one 00:35:57.040 --> 00:35:59.510 of the toughest people that I think I've 00:35:59.520 --> 00:36:02.150 ever met in my entire life. Like it was 00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:03.349 like they were talking about how I was 00:36:03.359 --> 00:36:05.910 like if Josh Dy had razor blades on his 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.230 knuckles because of the cuts that those 00:36:08.240 --> 00:36:10.069 are different type of cuts like that you 00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:12.150 see you don't typically see. It was it 00:36:12.160 --> 00:36:13.990 was it was crazy and the toughness in 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.750 Richmond that he wasn't going to stop

00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:16.710 fighting. 00:36:16.720 --> 00:36:20.230 down. He didn't touch the canvas like 00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:21.910 well he got knocked down the one time. I 00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:23.190 think that was almost like a delayed 00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:25.589 reaction like he got but other than that 00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:28.310 he just like zombie coming forward. I 00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:31.510 mean he he has I want to say I would 00:36:31.520 --> 00:36:33.829 like to say that he has about more heart 00:36:33.839 --> 00:36:36.870 than 90% of those fighters that are in 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.349 any organization. Yeah. I mean he fought 00:36:39.359 --> 00:36:41.990 155 in MMA. I mean he's fighting fight 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.390 at 185. I have so much honestly I I have 00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.230 so much respect for both of them because 00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:49.870 you know the only loss that u that Dyer 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:56.710 has was Lorenzo and um I think Richmond 00:36:56.720 --> 00:36:59.030 had two losses but he lost to Hunt and 00:36:59.040 --> 00:37:01.750 then he lost to somebody else but I mean 00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:03.510 these guys are the cream of the crop. 00:37:03.520 --> 00:37:06.069 You don't get any better than that div 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:09.030 than that weight division. Yeah. I mean 00:37:09.040 --> 00:37:11.349 Lorenzo Hunt I've trained with Lorenzo 00:37:11.359 --> 00:37:14.470 Hunt. I've gone down to Jacksonville and 00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:17.270 had like a fiveday camp with him. Yeah, 00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:21.829 bro. He is hard. Talk about dog grounds. 00:37:21.839 --> 00:37:23.349 I thought I didn't know if I was going 00:37:23.359 --> 00:37:27.510 to be able to drive home. Like this dude 00:37:27.520 --> 00:37:29.990 waking up at 3:00 a.m. We're going on 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.470 runs. Then we go back to the gym. We 00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:34.310 train for two hours. Then we go home and 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:36.550 nap. Then we come back. We train again. 00:37:36.560 --> 00:37:38.950 We were doing three days. Three times a 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:40.470 day for five days. I was like, "Dude, by 00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:42.870 the end of the week, I was like, bro, I 00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.710 don't know how you do this. What you got 00:37:44.720 --> 00:37:46.790 like an Energizer pack in you, but like 00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:49.670 this is [ __ ] insane." Uhhuh. Yeah. 00:37:49.680 --> 00:37:51.190 Um, I wanted to bring up this one 00:37:51.200 --> 00:37:52.230 particular fight because you mentioned, 00:37:52.240 --> 00:37:53.829 you know, knock you get knocked down, 00:37:53.839 --> 00:37:56.630 you get back up. The Jose Naldo Silva 00:37:56.640 --> 00:37:59.589 fight where the guy got dropped three 00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.190 times. The first time it looked like he 00:38:01.200 --> 00:38:03.510 was going for a double leg takedown and 00:38:03.520 --> 00:38:08.950 then he lands this punch out of bow bow 00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:13.349 and I mean sleep good night and you're 00:38:13.359 --> 00:38:16.829 sitting here saying this is what 00:38:16.839 --> 00:38:20.470 BKFC is. I which is why you get up. If 00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:23.750 you can get up, you get up cuz you can 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:26.150 land those types of shots. 00:38:26.160 --> 00:38:28.310 Bro, I thought and honestly the other 00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:30.550 dude, props to him because he had he was 00:38:30.560 --> 00:38:32.790 doing great. Like he was doing great. He 00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:35.750 I I honestly think he was up every round 00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.109 up to that dominating. And this dude 00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.550 just threw a looper and just just 00:38:42.560 --> 00:38:46.230 dropped him and I my mouth was like I 00:38:46.240 --> 00:38:48.069 was speechless. We were all speechless. 00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:50.790 Holy [ __ ] 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:52.950 That was a that was that was a really 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:56.069 good fight, too. I mean, that was you. 00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:57.910 And you're you're never out. You're 00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:59.510 never out in this fight. So, I want to 00:38:59.520 --> 00:39:01.430 go back to my fight with Donald. Uh, 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:04.790 fifth round, I was tired. He was tired. 00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:06.950 I hit him with a switch. Like, I like to 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.109 do these switch step crosses and I hit 00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:11.270 him right under his eye, but I was so 00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.030 [ __ ] tired at I could hear after 00:39:13.040 --> 00:39:15.510 re-watching it, I um like you could hear 00:39:15.520 --> 00:39:17.109 my corner screaming. He's hurt. He's 00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:19.430 hurt. And like I talked to Donald a 00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:20.950 little bit afterwards and I was like, 00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.349 "Did I get you?" He was like, "Bro," he 00:39:23.359 --> 00:39:25.109 was like, "If you would have charged me, 00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:27.270 I know you didn't have like barely any 00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:28.870 energy left because we had just brawled 00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:30.710 for five rounds." He's like, "I would 00:39:30.720 --> 00:39:33.349 have had no choice but to take a knee." 00:39:33.359 --> 00:39:36.150 I was like, "Damn, I wish I I was like, 00:39:36.160 --> 00:39:38.470 damn. Wish I would have known that. But 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:41.190 you know I like that but fifth round 00:39:41.200 --> 00:39:42.710 when you're throwing as hard as you're 00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:44.310 throwing and you're like basically on 00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:46.150 survival mode. Sometimes you just feel 00:39:46.160 --> 00:39:48.710 like your feet are just glued to the mat 00:39:48.720 --> 00:39:51.670 and you're like I I'm really just like 00:39:51.680 --> 00:39:54.150 it's really honestly looking back on it. 00:39:54.160 --> 00:39:55.670 My friends ask me they're

like how does 00:39:55.680 --> 00:39:57.190 it feel? I'm like out of body 00:39:57.200 --> 00:40:00.390 experience. You don't even know like and 00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:01.990 like I have to go back and watch myself 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:03.750 on TV and be like [ __ ] I would that 00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:06.430 that's [ __ ] me. like 00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:10.150 [ __ ] because there your sole focus is on 00:40:10.160 --> 00:40:11.750 handling what's in front of you. You 00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.109 don't care about the crowd, the 00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:15.349 screaming, like anything. Like I I don't 00:40:15.359 --> 00:40:17.430 I'm I'm there to fight. I'm there to put 00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:20.069 on a show and I'm there to win. So, I 00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:23.270 got one final uh question for you. You 00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:25.270 told me you have a person that you want 00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:28.470 to fight. Yeah. Call out. 00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:32.069 Tell tell us who it is, the story behind 00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:33.910 it. 00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:36.230 Yeah. you know, and all that. He's the 00:40:36.240 --> 00:40:41.750 biggest duck of BKFC. He he in like I 00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:43.910 know what he's doing. I mean, he he's a 00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:46.390 businessman. I get it. Like, do your 00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:49.510 [ __ ] I get it. But the only reason why 00:40:49.520 --> 00:40:52.349 I have such a beef with this 00:40:52.359 --> 00:40:54.790 person, boy, let's go back to the Julian 00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:57.109 Lane thing. Like, I introduce myself to 00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.670 people. That's who I am. And that's what 00:40:59.680 --> 00:41:01.829 I was trying to do when I was in 00:41:01.839 --> 00:41:04.550 Hollywood, Florida a few years ago. I 00:41:04.560 --> 00:41:05.910 think it was the first Hollywood, 00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:09.030 Florida event. I walk up to Mike Perry. 00:41:09.040 --> 00:41:10.150 I'm like, "Hey, brother. What's going 00:41:10.160 --> 00:41:11.910 on?" Boom. Boom. Boom. His He has a 00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:13.910 security guard with him at the time. I'm 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:15.750 like, "Bro, you're a fighter. You Why? 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:17.430 What the [ __ ] you need a security guard 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:19.910 for?" Me and the security guard. Get 00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:23.190 into it. I like I'm just like I'm like, 00:41:23.200 --> 00:41:24.790 "Hey, I'm just saying what's up." He's 00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:25.910 like, "I don't give a fuck." I'm like, 00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:28.309 "Well, [ __ ] you. How about that?" like 00:41:28.319 --> 00:41:31.190 you. So then Mike Perry throws a drink 00:41:31.200 --> 00:41:34.069 in my face. So then I'm now I'm ready to 00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:36.630 fight. I'm And then the cops because I'm 00:41:36.640 --> 00:41:40.069 like getting ready to swing. The cops 00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:41.910 just grab me and they're like, "What the 00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:43.510

[ __ ] going on?" And I was like, "Bro, 00:41:43.520 --> 00:41:45.430 this [ __ ] [ __ ] just drew a threw a 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:48.309 [ __ ] drink on me." And uh yeah, they 00:41:48.319 --> 00:41:50.390 were like, "Well, you got to go." And I 00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:52.309 was like, "I gotta go." I was like, "I 00:41:52.319 --> 00:41:54.069 I'm on the front row. you got this dude 00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:55.589 all the way in the back throwing drinks 00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:58.390 on people like and so needless to say I 00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.550 get escorted out by the police cuz I'm 00:42:00.560 --> 00:42:01.550 ready to 00:42:01.560 --> 00:42:03.470 fight. 00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:07.030 Um haven't ran into him since. Been 00:42:07.040 --> 00:42:09.829 trying to confront him, make posts about 00:42:09.839 --> 00:42:13.270 him. Like he just he he don't care. He's 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:15.990 in his own lane. He he's he's ducked 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:20.230 Mandelle. He's ducking Dyer and he wants 00:42:20.240 --> 00:42:21.910 these big money fights. But you know 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:24.309 what's funny is he said that he would 00:42:24.319 --> 00:42:27.109 fight Cameron Deleno, the person that 00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.470 I'm training. I'm like, Cameron Deleno 00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:34.069 is my friend obviously, but he has not 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:36.230 earned his stripes yet in BKFC. He 00:42:36.240 --> 00:42:37.990 doesn't even have a professional fight 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:40.390 under BKFC yet. So why are you calling 00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:43.750 out a guy who has not even fought yet? 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:45.349 that just makes you look like even 00:42:45.359 --> 00:42:48.069 bigger of a hoe because now you're just 00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:50.470 trying to take fights that you feel like 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.630 you could just have the upper hand on 00:42:52.640 --> 00:42:54.069 people. I'm like, why don't you fight 00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:56.630 somebody like me who's been in there 00:42:56.640 --> 00:42:58.230 seven times? I've been in there more 00:42:58.240 --> 00:43:00.309 than Mike Perry. So, I'm like, I've been 00:43:00.319 --> 00:43:03.349 in this game for just as long as he has, 00:43:03.359 --> 00:43:05.990 if not longer. He I know he has his UFC 00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:08.950 and all that [ __ ] like that, but I don't 00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:11.190 respect him. I don't like him. Like I I 00:43:11.200 --> 00:43:13.750 I wanted to introduce myself because we 00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:16.069 have a lot of mutual friends. A lot of 00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:18.069 people know about this confrontation. 00:43:18.079 --> 00:43:19.990 They're like, "Damn, man. Like we think 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:21.349 me, you and Mike would have been cool." 00:43:21.359 --> 00:43:23.190 And I'm like, "No, [ __ ] Mike." Like, I 00:43:23.200 --> 00:43:25.109 don't care about that. I just want to 00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:27.190 get I just want to punch him in the 00:43:27.200 --> 00:43:29.109 [ __ ] mouth. Like that's it. I don't 00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:31.589 care even if I get paid for it. Like, I 00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:34.550 want to fight this dude. And you know, 00:43:34.560 --> 00:43:38.870 he he does not respond to anything on on 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.349 social media unless it's beneficial to 00:43:41.359 --> 00:43:44.150 him. Uh Mandelle's called him out. 00:43:44.160 --> 00:43:45.990 Dyer's called him out. I've called him 00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:48.309 out. And he it's crickets. That's all 00:43:48.319 --> 00:43:50.870 you hear is crickets. Um he he says he 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:54.230 wants to fight at 185. Great. I fight at 00:43:54.240 --> 00:43:57.030 185. Why don't you try to use me as a 00:43:57.040 --> 00:43:59.349 stepping stone and see see how well you 00:43:59.359 --> 00:44:01.349 do in a bigger division? cuz we all saw 00:44:01.359 --> 00:44:02.870 what happened when when you went up a 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:05.349 weight class and you were boxing. You 00:44:05.359 --> 00:44:07.829 got your ass beat by Jake Paul and 00:44:07.839 --> 00:44:10.150 that's it. Like why don't you take a 00:44:10.160 --> 00:44:12.790 fight, see how you do a 185. You don't 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:14.390 even have to take the cream of the crop. 00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:16.150 Take somebody like me who's been in 00:44:16.160 --> 00:44:17.990 there a while and then we'll see what's 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:19.990 up. And I don't I don't need to talk 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.510 about it. I'm just going to be about it 00:44:21.520 --> 00:44:23.270 and when we get in there, we'll see 00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:25.430 who's the better fighter. 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:27.910 Yeah, Dyer called him out after the, you 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:29.750 know, well, he says that Perry was in 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:33.670 his DMs in the postfight interview. I 00:44:33.680 --> 00:44:35.270 don't think that's a fight that happens. 00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.589 No, I don't. There's no way. There's no 00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:39.910 way. Dyer's massive. Like, I cannot see 00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:42.309 that fight happening. He and he he's 00:44:42.319 --> 00:44:44.470 ducking Mundelle. Mandell has already 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:46.870 fought him twice. A good like obviously 00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:49.190 it was in MMA, completely different 00:44:49.200 --> 00:44:52.230 sport. Mandell was not as good as he is 00:44:52.240 --> 00:44:56.790 today when he was in MMA. So I And this 00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:58.230 is at a lower weight class. So the 00:44:58.240 --> 00:44:59.910 reason he doesn't want to fight Mandelle 00:44:59.920 --> 00:45:02.390 is because he says it's at 175. Well, 00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:04.069 now you're coming up to a big dog 00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.790 division, too. And you're getting called 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.030 out by the big dogs. And now you're just 00:45:09.040 --> 00:45:13.109 Where's Mike

Perry? Hello. No. Nobody. 00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:15.430 He's not responding. So, but he's 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:17.990 begging BKFC for a fight. He just to 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:20.550 stay relevant. And I'm like, which one 00:45:20.560 --> 00:45:22.470 which one are you a gangster?

Yeah. 00:46:06.560 --> 00:46:08.470 Because even even as fans and covering 00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:10.950 it, like you almost need a second to 00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:13.829 give me a few weeks cuz Huh. just a 00:46:13.839 --> 00:46:16.790 process like that last week you're like 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:18.950 wow there's just they they have them so 00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:20.790 often and I do get worried that at times 00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:23.190 they might be putting too much too fast 00:46:23.200 --> 00:46:25.589 and that's what the UFC did and like it 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:28.710 it just give me a second so I can like 00:46:28.720 --> 00:46:30.630 decompress get through the like so we 00:46:30.640 --> 00:46:32.630 can get this together cuz now you're 00:46:32.640 --> 00:46:34.630 gonna have a it's gonna be back to back 00:46:34.640 --> 00:46:36.470 to back to back and then they're going 00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:38.710 to go into July. Do you know when you're 00:46:38.720 --> 00:46:40.870 going to fight next by the way man? my 00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:43.510 I'm let my my manager handle all that 00:46:43.520 --> 00:46:45.510 right now. I really really want to get 00:46:45.520 --> 00:46:47.750 on the Sturgeis card. I think that I 00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.390 would love to be at that rally. That'd 00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:52.550 be sick. I haven't fought outside yet 00:46:52.560 --> 00:46:53.950 either, so I would love to fight 00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:56.710 outside. Um and then Sturgis is the 00:46:56.720 --> 00:46:58.870 biggest bike rally in the in the North 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.190 America, so that would just be super 00:47:01.200 --> 00:47:04.230 [ __ ] cool. Um you know, I'm letting 00:47:04.240 --> 00:47:05.910 my manager do his thing. That's that's 00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:09.190 that's what I have him for. Um, but they 00:47:09.200 --> 00:47:11.510 know that I'm training consistently. 00:47:11.520 --> 00:47:13.670 Like I'm out here in Albuquerque.
