three outsiders of combat sports, where we aren't
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.820
experts, but we'll give you our opinions like
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:27.839
we are anyway. Hello and welcome back to Scrap
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:29.820

00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:33.159
show. But joining us we have Scotty and that's
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.740
not our special guest. We asked them all and
00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:39.359
that is also not the special guest and we have
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.880
joining us as Colin Dinglestad and He is making
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.359
a documentary. We've talked about on previous
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.340
episode about His journey into MMA and we're
00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:54.780
glad to have you on Colin That's me here So we'll
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:57.759
just we'll jump into it man. So you're 28 years
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.530
old, correct? Right now. Yes in two months in
00:01:01.530 --> 00:01:05.209
September one month and 14 days. I'll be 29.
00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:10.269
So 29 old So you're making this documentary and
00:01:10.269 --> 00:01:13.510
what it is is Colin being starting his journey
00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:16.170
and in May at 28 years old Wanting to prove that
00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:19.269
he can become a MMA champion prove to you know,
00:01:19.269 --> 00:01:21.670
that impossible tasks aren't impossible You know
00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:23.530
hence the name of the documentary, but he wants
00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:25.769
to you know He's a father and he wants to show
00:01:25.769 --> 00:01:28.290
that this you know to his child that you know,
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:30.810
you know Can do you can do anything you put your
00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:33.510
mind to so Colin set forth with you know, he's
00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:35.890
not a he's not a boxer He's not a wrestler. He
00:01:35.890 --> 00:01:38.189
started a journey in the MMA at 28 years old
00:01:38.189 --> 00:01:41.230
and his goal is to become a champion He's getting
00:01:41.230 --> 00:01:43.450
the best coaches in the world. He's getting I
00:01:43.450 --> 00:01:46.609
mean he's going through it and You know, he's
00:01:46.609 --> 00:01:48.549
he's he's setting himself up doing it the right
00:01:48.549 --> 00:01:50.849
way But he's he's trying to prove to not just
00:01:50.849 --> 00:01:53.489
himself there by like impossible tasks are impossible
00:01:53.489 --> 00:01:55.790
so Colin tell us a little bit about your your
00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:57.409
documentary what got you started and want to
00:01:57.409 --> 00:01:59.900
make it and how you got to where you are within,
00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:03.420
whose direction. Just give us an info, man. Yeah,
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.260
I think at the end of the day, although we can
00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:07.859
be for anybody really, but especially our children
00:02:07.859 --> 00:02:11.699
as an example, a role model, right? I think far
00:02:11.699 --> 00:02:14.580
too many of us, including me, I've started a
00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:16.560
few companies and life was very comfortable.
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:19.000
Like, not that I had a lot of money, but I could
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.120
travel, I could do what I wanted. And I think
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.919
eventually it gives you a feeling of numbness.
00:02:25.099 --> 00:02:27.280
Like you don't really feel alive anymore. You're
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.180
just going through the motion. So I wanted to
00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:36.219
see if I could set a goal that would just be
00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:38.439
impossible to most people and just see if I could
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.759
achieve it and hopefully to be a role model for
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:49.219
him. So here we are. How did you get in contact?
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.979
I think you told me Matt Cohen's directing it,
00:02:51.979 --> 00:02:55.810
correct? Yeah, correct. How did you get in contact
00:02:55.810 --> 00:02:58.110
with everybody and get started making this, making
00:02:58.110 --> 00:03:02.810
the documentary itself? Yeah, I think most people,
00:03:03.229 --> 00:03:05.569
they think too small. All the people that think
00:03:05.569 --> 00:03:07.789
too big, they don't actually execute. But I think
00:03:07.789 --> 00:03:09.490
everybody should just go over the options and
00:03:09.490 --> 00:03:14.110
be like, what am I uniquely skilled at that has
00:03:14.110 --> 00:03:16.069
some kind of chance of me pulling it off, right?
00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:17.909
There are only like a few things in the world
00:03:17.909 --> 00:03:21.650
that you can truly be exceptional at. So I wrote
00:03:21.650 --> 00:03:23.389
a list of like all the different things I could
00:03:23.389 --> 00:03:27.039
do. and becoming an MMA champion like that once
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.819
the one that actually felt really true and I'd
00:03:29.819 --> 00:03:33.460
always been really I'd always been watching and
00:03:33.460 --> 00:03:35.939
I had trained a little bit like two weeks of
00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:38.740
boxing like I was a white belt in jiu -jitsu
00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:41.080
three days of wrestling like almost nothing but
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.099
I'm I always felt like I want to do more with
00:03:44.099 --> 00:03:47.069
this but I didn't want to put the time in Um,
00:03:47.129 --> 00:03:48.750
so when I wrote it on my list, I'm like, what
00:03:48.750 --> 00:03:50.409
if I just see if it can become like a champion,
00:03:50.650 --> 00:03:52.770
right? Most people train when they're the Dagestani
00:03:52.770 --> 00:03:54.349
people, the Russians, they train when they're
00:03:54.349 --> 00:03:57.009
like one year old wrestling with bears. I was
00:03:57.009 --> 00:03:59.250
like, what if I can do it at the age of 28, almost
00:03:59.250 --> 00:04:02.430
29 right now? Wouldn't that be something? And
00:04:02.430 --> 00:04:04.430
even just the pursuit would be, would be amazing
00:04:04.430 --> 00:04:08.069
in that sense. So when I committed to the goal
00:04:08.069 --> 00:04:10.310
and like it fell in line, I just started reaching
00:04:10.310 --> 00:04:13.050
out to everybody. I knew I'm like, who do you
00:04:13.050 --> 00:04:14.610
know that does fighting? Like, who do you know
00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:18.509
that? can help with this, right? And then one
00:04:18.509 --> 00:04:20.170
thing led to the other. And eventually I'm talking
00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:24.670
to Matt Cohen, who is a Hollywood actor and producer.
00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:27.029
And I'm like, did I end up on a call with him?
00:04:27.069 --> 00:04:28.730
What does he have to do with this whole thing?
00:04:29.610 --> 00:04:31.790
And initially I wanted to do it on YouTube. And
00:04:31.790 --> 00:04:33.290
it was just like, we do a YouTube series and
00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:35.389
we do it in the right way. And he was like, no,
00:04:35.470 --> 00:04:37.170
man, we're going to put you on Netflix, Apple,
00:04:37.329 --> 00:04:38.829
Amazon, all the big names going to have like
00:04:38.829 --> 00:04:40.430
three, like here's how we're going to do it.
00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:43.300
He's a massive fight fan and he's like, the first
00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:44.360
thing that we're going to do is we're going to
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.920
fly to New York and we're going to train in this
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.860
Trinity boxing club. Like this is old school
00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:51.740
gym. It looks like a Hollywood movie set. And
00:04:51.740 --> 00:04:53.660
there's a gold and glass boxing champion is going
00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:56.339
to train you. And, uh, when can you leave them?
00:04:56.579 --> 00:04:59.519
Like, like tomorrow, like so within 48 hours
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.839
we flew to New York to get on, to, uh, to make
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.779
it happen. And then from that, that same day,
00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:08.839
my buddy, Jonathan Waters also connected me to
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.740
Matt. He's like, I might know Rico Rodriguez,
00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:15.540
the former UFC heavyweight world champion. And
00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:17.060
Matt was like, make the connection. Like, like,
00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:18.360
let me talk to him. Let me talk to him. Right.
00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:21.620
So as I'm going through day one with the camera
00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:23.500
people trying to be in the right position, trying
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:26.480
to, um, we had a photographer coming as well,
00:05:26.660 --> 00:05:28.040
award -winning photographer. Like, like, so it
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:29.819
was a lot, like it was quite overwhelming. I
00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:32.319
flew through the night and no sleep. Um, and
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.759
then at the end of the day, cause Matt and I
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.720
was sleeping in the same, uh, same house and
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.230
he was like, I did it. Like we're going to see
00:05:40.230 --> 00:05:43.589
Rico tomorrow and he's going to take you through
00:05:43.589 --> 00:05:46.290
three hours of the most brutal training known
00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:48.750
to mankind. And he's going to see if you have
00:05:48.750 --> 00:05:51.209
what it takes. Right. And then he built that
00:05:51.209 --> 00:05:54.029
gym from scratch. Like he built his own gym with
00:05:54.029 --> 00:05:57.910
like two octagons, everything, sauna, cryo, his
00:05:57.910 --> 00:06:00.110
own fitness center. Like it has everything. Like
00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:01.769
he doesn't own the gym, but he built the gym.
00:06:02.410 --> 00:06:04.949
And yeah, from one thing, one thing led to the
00:06:04.949 --> 00:06:07.779
other. And then we just kept going. That's excellent
00:06:07.779 --> 00:06:09.839
Colin. I'll tell you I'm exactly ten years and
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.420
four days older than you and everything You've
00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:14.639
already said it's inspirational to me just in
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.000
the very short conversation We've had so I can
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.639
definitely see the vision of what you want to
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.639
get out there with this documentary You know,
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.899
we were chatting very briefly before we hit record
00:06:22.899 --> 00:06:24.939
and you mentioned everybody's gonna already notice
00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:27.620
it from hearing it You're you're from the Netherlands
00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:30.240
originally and and my first question you've kind
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.939
of answered a little bit already I was gonna
00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:34.680
ask you the very basic question of what background
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.540
in MMA do you have? You mentioned your white
00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:40.620
belt jiu -jitsu, you were in a box. What age
00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:42.540
did you start that? Did you start that when you
00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:45.740
were still in Netherlands or was it here recently
00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:49.420
that you did that? Actually, I made a list when
00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:53.120
I was 19, so I left home when I was 18 and then
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.139
I went to Italy and then I eventually went to
00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:57.139
Nepal and I tried to start my first business.
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.620
And in Nepal, I made a list. I actually haven't
00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:01.860
shared this with anybody. But I made a list about
00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:04.740
how my, my ultimate self would look like, and
00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:06.699
I didn't think about being like a champion or
00:07:06.699 --> 00:07:09.180
anything like that. But it was like, I want to
00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:12.279
be able to run a marathon. I want to be able
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.279
to run that eventually end up being, I want to
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.600
be able to run an ultra marathon. I want to have
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.500
these weightlifting stats. I want to have this
00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:20.879
kind of flexibility. And it was just a whole
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.899
list was like a whole page of like every kind
00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:24.860
of physical stat, like a video game character.
00:07:25.590 --> 00:07:27.889
And one line on that was like, I want to be able
00:07:27.889 --> 00:07:30.649
to give a professional fighter some kind of a
00:07:30.649 --> 00:07:32.870
fight. Like I won't win, but I want to give them
00:07:32.870 --> 00:07:35.810
strong kind of a fight. And that was it. Like
00:07:35.810 --> 00:07:38.790
there was nothing else to it. But a couple of
00:07:38.790 --> 00:07:40.329
years later, like four or five years later, when
00:07:40.329 --> 00:07:45.089
I was in Mexico, I found a trainer and I was
00:07:45.089 --> 00:07:48.189
trying to learn salsa to pick up women. And I
00:07:48.189 --> 00:07:53.009
was like, I'll try Muay Thai as well. So I went
00:07:53.009 --> 00:07:56.029
to this. Mexican gym like in the ghetto. At least
00:07:56.029 --> 00:07:58.129
that's how it felt to me. And this guy just started
00:07:58.129 --> 00:08:00.649
training me. And look, I did that just for like
00:08:00.649 --> 00:08:03.110
a week or so, but I really enjoyed it. I just
00:08:03.110 --> 00:08:07.490
realized how tough it was. It was, it was like
00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:11.350
bad, mad, bad, bad environment, like bad. Uh,
00:08:11.350 --> 00:08:13.629
everything, technique was bad. Like it was just
00:08:13.629 --> 00:08:16.209
pure Mexican style of like, you're going to,
00:08:16.209 --> 00:08:18.470
uh, punch him once and he's going to punch you
00:08:18.470 --> 00:08:21.100
back. So I stopped pretty quickly because I was
00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:22.720
like this is going to be very bad for my health
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.480
and I need somebody who had a bit more skill
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.439
in that sense. But that was kind of my first
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:31.759
MMA experience and I was probably 23 or 24 at
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.320
the time. So that's how I started. And then nothing
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.360
for half a few years by the way, just nothing.
00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:43.100
So Paul and I'm curious, what weight class will
00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:47.179
you fight in? We have one crazy goal that that
00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:49.059
I haven't announced yet and again what we'll
00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:50.720
see right there's some issues with my shoulders,
00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:55.000
but Right now I should fight at 155 because I'm
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.720
about 180 so I should comfortably fight at 155
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.899
although some of the guys now are 185 190 I could
00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:06.779
also go to 145 because I'm like 511 so I would
00:09:06.779 --> 00:09:11.259
have a I would have good stats for 145 155 would
00:09:11.259 --> 00:09:15.399
be fine as well 170 would be Too much like those
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.740
guys are like 190 200 pounds. So between 125
00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:22.879
55 What is your trajectory in terms of like?
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.860
Have you actually had a professional fight yet?
00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:28.240
And when you do what promotion will be with?
00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:31.720
Yes, so we saw there's only two months ago. So
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.559
it's pretty fresh. It's It's a lot of big talk
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.279
at this stage We do have some world champs that
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.080
said like you can do it So that does give some
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.659
credibility to it, but it's still like we have
00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:44.629
a long way to go. So We had two options. One
00:09:44.629 --> 00:09:47.110
was just to do a lot of amateur fights like one
00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:49.210
a month or two a month and just a lot and then
00:09:49.210 --> 00:09:52.929
just go through the fire and then just see my
00:09:52.929 --> 00:09:55.649
mistakes and improve it and just probably get
00:09:55.649 --> 00:09:57.769
a lot of brain damage and injuries, but it would
00:09:57.769 --> 00:10:01.210
also be a fast. The other path was more cinematic
00:10:01.210 --> 00:10:04.049
as well. It's like learn boxing first for eight
00:10:04.049 --> 00:10:05.970
weeks at some, with some kind of a world champion
00:10:05.970 --> 00:10:08.289
and set yourself like the highest goal you can
00:10:08.289 --> 00:10:10.690
get, maybe a pro fight. Even if you don't win,
00:10:10.690 --> 00:10:13.080
it will show the progression. then do the same
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.139
to a Muay Thai, like spend four to eight weeks
00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:17.679
to Muay Thai, then do eight weeks of Jiu -Jitsu,
00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:19.840
grappling, wrestling, everything in one go, just
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.980
with the best people you can find. And then put
00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:25.440
everything together for your first MMA fight
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.600
with Firas Ahabi or some kind of like, like GSP's
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:30.460
coach or some kind of like really good training
00:10:30.460 --> 00:10:32.899
camp. And it seems slower in the beginning because
00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:34.940
it was delayed by like five, six months, but
00:10:34.940 --> 00:10:38.299
I think in the long run, having done those disciplines
00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:40.659
just so obsessively, I think it will, it will
00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:44.480
help. Well, you talked about just now training
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.399
for eight weeks for boxing, eight weeks for different,
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.179
you know, training camp, basically training camp
00:10:49.179 --> 00:10:52.019
after training camp. That's hard on your body.
00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:55.340
So do you have like nutritionists and all that
00:10:55.340 --> 00:10:57.659
with you or how you, how are you handling the,
00:10:57.659 --> 00:11:01.240
the strain to training puts on your body? Yeah,
00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:04.460
actually for me, the flight is the most difficult
00:11:04.460 --> 00:11:06.639
thing because I'm seeing my son in the weekends.
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.620
So I. Because I didn't want to miss a single
00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:12.039
minute of time with him. So I am flying out Sunday
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.039
night or Monday early morning. And then I'm back
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.460
and I'm back Thursday night or Friday early morning.
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.580
So that's actually, so some flights on the night,
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.840
sometimes I don't sleep. I'm constantly traveling.
00:11:26.179 --> 00:11:28.740
So I constantly having a nutritionist that just
00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:31.159
flies with me, but it's, it's slightly too expensive
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.860
at this stage. So I'm just doing, doing the best
00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:35.679
I can at where I'm at. I have somebody taking
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.389
care of my meals, but when I'm traveling. I mean,
00:11:38.409 --> 00:11:42.169
I've been to maybe 15 cities in the last two
00:11:42.169 --> 00:11:45.889
months, so it's a lot. It's a lot. So I do my
00:11:45.889 --> 00:11:48.809
best when I'm at the places. It's a lot of smoothies,
00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:50.870
actually, green juices, smoothies, because that
00:11:50.870 --> 00:11:53.809
seems to be very easy to have and give me a lot
00:11:53.809 --> 00:11:56.309
of calories, just like almond butter, bananas,
00:11:57.110 --> 00:12:00.289
coconut oil, and that's like 1 ,000, 1 ,500 calories,
00:12:00.809 --> 00:12:03.649
just like that. Do you have any experience with
00:12:03.649 --> 00:12:07.120
weight cutting before? Um, I have a very different
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.440
side of weight cutting. I've done it. I've done
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.580
an 11 day water fast. We just only drink water
00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:17.700
and I lost I think 25 pounds in 10 days. So I've
00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:19.960
done it in a way that was like holistic in that
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.100
sense. But I have not done anything else in there.
00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:25.919
How did you feel after that 11 days when you
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.639
did the water fast? How did you feel like internally?
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.679
Oh, blissful. Like it was one of the best experiences
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.419
in my life. Like the first few days were difficult.
00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:37.799
But there were days where I barely had to sleep
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.700
like maybe two, three hours of sleep because
00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:42.519
I think we process so much food through our body
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.200
and it takes so much energy that we never give
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.000
the body a moment to rest. And then you also
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.960
realize, at least for me, how much extra energy
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.980
I had. Like it was just like when nothing is
00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:57.379
focused on just processing bad stuff, right?
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.639
Cause we all live in a toxic world. No pesticides
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.299
go into your body. No, like none of that. Like
00:13:03.299 --> 00:13:06.360
it's. It was like heaven. I was like, wow, that's,
00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:09.440
that's how it was supposed to be. Just also complete
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.220
focus. Like, like those Satori experiences where
00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:15.639
you just, again, it's also evolutionary, right?
00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:17.500
But if I saw somebody eating something, even
00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:20.019
like 50 feet away, I would just stare at them,
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:21.679
like without realizing it would just be like
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.659
almost hunting them. Just like looking at what
00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:25.419
they were doing. Just like, like Mike Tyson,
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:30.679
when he tracks the ice like that. So yeah, it
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.669
was good experience. Wow. Hope you're training
00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:38.190
with Rico Rodriguez, but who all are you training
00:13:38.190 --> 00:13:40.129
with? I mean sounds like you're all over the
00:13:40.129 --> 00:13:44.309
place right now Yeah, so um with the u .s. I've
00:13:44.309 --> 00:13:46.570
pushed my visa quite a bit in the last two three
00:13:46.570 --> 00:13:49.470
months, so I just don't want to Make it seem
00:13:49.470 --> 00:13:51.250
like I'm living in the u .s. Because I'm not
00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:53.470
right, but just by flying and flying are flying
00:13:53.470 --> 00:13:57.049
and flying out like every week I felt like I've
00:13:57.049 --> 00:13:58.830
been pushing the u .s. A lot because I have amazing
00:13:58.830 --> 00:14:02.610
training locations in New York in Miami, so I
00:14:02.610 --> 00:14:05.129
was like Mexico, which is where my son is as
00:14:05.129 --> 00:14:07.450
well. Mom is Canadian and I'm Dutch, but he's
00:14:07.450 --> 00:14:10.769
in, he's in Mexico. So I'm training right now
00:14:10.769 --> 00:14:15.649
in Romanza gym with this guy named Ignacio Nacho
00:14:15.649 --> 00:14:18.370
Barista, probably butchering his name. But that
00:14:18.370 --> 00:14:22.149
guy has trained at least 29 world champions from
00:14:22.149 --> 00:14:24.970
almost nothing. So one of the best coaches in
00:14:24.970 --> 00:14:28.269
the world and that's just boxing. So if everything
00:14:28.269 --> 00:14:30.730
goes well, I'm flying out tonight or tomorrow
00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:33.090
morning. Back to mexica city train for four or
00:14:33.090 --> 00:14:34.990
five days then review in the weekends we cover
00:14:34.990 --> 00:14:37.190
and then I'll be doing that for the next like
00:14:37.190 --> 00:14:42.850
five six seven weeks Wow Yeah Are you do you
00:14:42.850 --> 00:14:44.929
have like other gyms like you're planning to
00:14:44.929 --> 00:14:47.750
visit our coaches or how are you planning your
00:14:47.750 --> 00:14:49.990
You're like coordinating with different coaches.
00:14:50.009 --> 00:14:51.490
How are you balanced? How are you finding these
00:14:51.490 --> 00:14:53.909
gyms to go to? Are you planning them out contact
00:14:53.909 --> 00:14:55.610
them advanced? Do you have a list of gyms? You
00:14:55.610 --> 00:14:57.990
want to go to or how are you picking out how
00:14:57.990 --> 00:15:00.919
you're going to train? Yeah, it's, it's based
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.940
a lot on going like almost like kissing a lot
00:15:03.940 --> 00:15:06.080
of frogs. Like I know that most people will not
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.960
be the right fit, but some, but there are only
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:11.600
a handful of people I could actually work with
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.179
to accomplish this goal. Also a lot of the professional
00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:17.139
people that I've met that are like not world
00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:20.179
champion, but like let's say top 50, they've
00:15:20.179 --> 00:15:22.080
been discouraging about the vision. They've been
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.700
like, it's not possible because they couldn't
00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:26.659
do it right. But every world champion or world
00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:28.440
champion coach is that like, of course you can
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.580
do it. Like here's how we're going to do it.
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:32.799
Right. So that's been a big difference. So again,
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.559
like a lot of differentiating between who I can
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.120
have access to and with boxing for me, there
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.220
were maybe five gyms in the world that I could
00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:43.879
train at. Um, so it wasn't that much. So in Mexico
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.460
city, I had a girl literally go to the gym because
00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:49.240
it's like an old school Mexican gym. Go to the
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.000
gym, speak Spanish and see if we can make some
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.129
kind of deal. And then. I love Terrence Crawford
00:15:54.129 --> 00:15:56.230
as well. Like I would hope to train with him
00:15:56.230 --> 00:15:58.129
one day, but it's in the U S so I didn't want
00:15:58.129 --> 00:15:59.990
to go to the U S didn't have also not reached
00:15:59.990 --> 00:16:02.370
out to him. Um, there were like four or five
00:16:02.370 --> 00:16:04.549
gyms. I basically died into Chad's team. Like
00:16:04.549 --> 00:16:07.610
who are the most decorated coaches of all time?
00:16:08.070 --> 00:16:11.269
Uh, undeniably based on, uh, who they've trained
00:16:11.269 --> 00:16:13.149
and who they've trained from almost nothing.
00:16:13.669 --> 00:16:15.330
Um, and it gave me a list of like 50 coaches
00:16:15.330 --> 00:16:17.809
and I five of them were like, for me, like I
00:16:17.809 --> 00:16:19.169
was like, this would be amazing if we could train
00:16:19.169 --> 00:16:21.740
with them. And yeah, then you just find a way
00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:24.740
to communicate with them. It's working so far.
00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:27.779
That's great. Are you in active production right
00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:29.519
now? So when you're going and training at these
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.360
gyms, do you have cameras with you currently?
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.700
Currently not, just because I almost couldn't
00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:38.840
train with them because of the cameras. So everything's
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.940
happening where I was born with that 100%. Yeah.
00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:44.639
Cause every other gym Miami, New York, like,
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:46.279
like that was all fine. Like there were no issues,
00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:49.840
but in this culture and I'm white, right? I don't.
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:51.679
I speak a little bit of Spanish, but not much.
00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:54.139
So it's, it's like a lot of reputation in that
00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:56.139
sense. And the guy is older, like he's in his
00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:58.799
eighties. So there's a lot of gatekeeping in
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.399
that sense as well. So basically they wanted
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.200
to train me, but they wanted to talk about having
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.019
the cameras. And I just said like, let's not
00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:07.920
do any cameras for the first one or two weeks.
00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:10.839
Let me just show you that I'm like not somebody
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.440
who's just trying to rip you off. So that's what
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.720
we're doing right now. And then I'll bring the
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.990
cameras in the week after hopefully. So. We have
00:17:18.990 --> 00:17:21.410
a funny running gag on our podcast that I have
00:17:21.410 --> 00:17:23.589
to bring up wrestling some way in every single
00:17:23.589 --> 00:17:25.730
episode. So I'm going to check that box out here.
00:17:26.029 --> 00:17:27.809
You definitely don't want to end up being like
00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:29.910
CM Punk. You don't want that situation to come
00:17:29.910 --> 00:17:31.670
out to where that's kind of the idea and the
00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:34.470
look that you've got with after UFC fight. So.
00:17:36.609 --> 00:17:39.450
Yeah, no, I'm with you. And I think it also comes
00:17:39.450 --> 00:17:41.410
down to eventually my training partner should
00:17:41.410 --> 00:17:44.190
be four more current world champions, right?
00:17:44.190 --> 00:17:47.089
If it can be part of the Dagestani Campbell.
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.539
Let's see, or GSP or also like, like some person
00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:54.440
that like mighty Mao is like somebody who's undeniably
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.019
has done this at the highest level and they can
00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:58.759
spar with them. Of course the weight class and
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.539
always the same. But if, if it, if I can comfortably
00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:03.980
go with professional finals, then that would
00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:08.160
give me a good indication that I'm ready. The
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.140
title, the 155 belt in the UFC. Is that, is that
00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:16.119
how you. That's the goal, but there's some politics
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.690
involved getting into the UFC. some open to if
00:18:18.690 --> 00:18:21.230
it would be a different organization the biggest
00:18:21.230 --> 00:18:24.170
thing would be I have to demolish my opponents
00:18:24.170 --> 00:18:26.650
in the amateur fights or like low level pro fights
00:18:26.650 --> 00:18:29.210
like I would have to like that would have to
00:18:29.210 --> 00:18:31.730
we have to systematically like make a plan for
00:18:31.730 --> 00:18:33.809
that because I can't just win just winning is
00:18:33.809 --> 00:18:37.069
not good enough like to get into the UFC I have
00:18:37.069 --> 00:18:40.829
to like show some things so uh that's also why
00:18:40.829 --> 00:18:43.150
I think this journey is more interesting uh to
00:18:43.150 --> 00:18:47.079
go Yeah, and I don't mean to sound skeptical,
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:48.900
but I don't think it's just like a walk in the
00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:51.819
park, right? To get into the organization. No,
00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:54.680
no, absolutely not. I love politics and hopefully
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:57.200
we'll have a bigger following as well. Well,
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.240
we're just starting right now. There's some really
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.559
big partnerships coming up. So with a bigger
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.319
following that will help a lot as well. That
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:08.279
we're adding value to the company. Definitely.
00:19:09.300 --> 00:19:11.279
You train much to just it sounds like right now.
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:13.140
It's strictly boxing You want to say you mentioned
00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:14.940
Dagestan? Are you are you trying to find like
00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:17.619
a gym and Smith's black? Specializes in just
00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:20.019
sort of gyms that specialize in boxing and then
00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:21.839
later to kind of bridge it all together You want
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.400
to kind of get a base of everything. Is that
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.960
what you're trying to start off doing? Yeah,
00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:28.859
yeah, exactly. I want to go through the disciplines
00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:31.779
first and then put everything together within
00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:33.460
like four to eight weeks per discipline It's
00:19:33.460 --> 00:19:35.559
not that much but the way that I'm training is
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.460
I'm trying to train six to ten hours a day And
00:19:38.460 --> 00:19:41.380
every extra minute that I have in watching studying
00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:43.200
tape, like going through anything, like even
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.299
my whole social media feed, like it's just shorts
00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:48.400
about, in this case, boxing, and the next week,
00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:51.160
like in five weeks, it will be Muay Thai. So
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:55.319
I'm completely immersing myself in the environment
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:58.299
to speed up the learning curve. And a lot of
00:19:58.299 --> 00:20:00.640
situational sparring is helping as well. Not
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.900
getting gun shy, not getting like immediately
00:20:02.900 --> 00:20:06.059
destroyed and just step -by -step getting the
00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:10.769
skillset, just like a video game. So one of the
00:20:10.769 --> 00:20:12.750
things that is not often talked about, but in
00:20:12.750 --> 00:20:15.970
this area, the mental game is almost, if not
00:20:15.970 --> 00:20:17.950
more important than the physical game, but just
00:20:17.950 --> 00:20:20.990
as important. What have you learned through this
00:20:20.990 --> 00:20:23.730
process so far about your mental growth, jumping
00:20:23.730 --> 00:20:27.769
in literally to the deep end? There's been one
00:20:27.769 --> 00:20:29.890
really cool brain hack that has made a really
00:20:29.890 --> 00:20:32.890
big difference in my entire life, really. You
00:20:32.890 --> 00:20:34.750
know sometimes when you walk into a room and
00:20:34.750 --> 00:20:36.740
you see maybe four people sitting? and you're
00:20:36.740 --> 00:20:38.440
like one, two, three, four, okay, that's four
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.519
people, or five people or ten people, you can
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:43.579
also just walk into the room and be like five
00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:46.099
or four, like you can see it in an instant, you
00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:49.119
don't have to use your mind to be slow and then
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.079
figure it out that way. And the same with the
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.559
techniques, like I realized that if I just see
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:58.400
it and do it, instead of thinking in between
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.079
or trying to even visualize it, which I used
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:04.529
to do, like just visualize everything, I can
00:21:04.529 --> 00:21:07.450
understand move so much faster. And just in my
00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:10.210
entire life, it feels, it feels much easier to
00:21:10.210 --> 00:21:12.190
almost let, I don't know if it's the subconscious
00:21:12.190 --> 00:21:15.089
or whatever it is, but something is smarter than
00:21:15.089 --> 00:21:18.230
your, your slow processing grain. And I've been
00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:20.569
trying to use that much more. Well, and it's
00:21:20.569 --> 00:21:22.490
just a short conversation. I can tell you're
00:21:22.490 --> 00:21:24.569
very introspective and that's something that
00:21:24.569 --> 00:21:26.690
you have as an individual very strongly. Have
00:21:26.690 --> 00:21:28.769
you always been like that, Colin, or is that
00:21:28.769 --> 00:21:30.390
something that you feel like was developed or
00:21:30.390 --> 00:21:32.369
did something happen that made you kind of be
00:21:32.369 --> 00:21:36.680
like that? Yeah, it actually did. I think when
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.680
I was at a 13, 14 or 15, I had a harder time
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.480
getting mad at girls. And I was like, there needs
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.420
to be some kind of way to solve this. And that
00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:47.380
led to self -development and then eventually
00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:50.259
psychology books and stuff like that. But at
00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:52.440
a certain point I was like, wait, I can improve.
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.140
Like I can develop as a person by just like being
00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:58.579
like, don't sit this way. Don't slouch. Like
00:21:58.579 --> 00:22:02.000
just like my inner voice correcting myself. Before
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.039
that, I don't even think I was doing any of that.
00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:06.720
Like maybe just purely out of instinct or emotion,
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:08.339
if it would get angry or something like that.
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.440
But that was a big shift for me. And then I never
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:14.380
really looked back. And it actually got quite
00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:16.660
harsh like for two or three years. Like I didn't
00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:18.599
really balance out. It was just like, everything
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:20.220
was criticizing. Like I have to sit straight.
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:21.660
I have to move straight. I have to walk in this
00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:25.799
way. It was really helpful, but it was also exhausting
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.539
looking back. And then eventually that voice
00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:31.059
calmed down and then... That kind of became my
00:22:31.059 --> 00:22:34.140
new habits and yeah, that's helped a lot. So
00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:37.099
after that It's a good thing that 13 year old
00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:38.819
you didn't learn the hack of all you had to do
00:22:38.819 --> 00:22:41.279
was move to america and just talk with your accent
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:43.180
and every single girl would just fall for you
00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:46.119
immediately, so He wasn't one of the psychology
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:51.579
books as well You talked about different gyms
00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:53.900
you train different styles you train what's your
00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:55.960
favorite style you train and what are some fighters
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.529
that you like? looked up to before you started
00:22:58.529 --> 00:23:00.829
training, like guys you want to emulate or whatever.
00:23:01.910 --> 00:23:06.450
Yeah, the big guys for me are GSB, Habib and
00:23:06.450 --> 00:23:09.190
Demetrious Johnson, mostly because they embody
00:23:09.190 --> 00:23:13.549
a style of taking very little damage, right?
00:23:13.630 --> 00:23:15.910
They've all been in very, I mean, Demetrious
00:23:15.910 --> 00:23:18.250
Johnson, like he got badly knocked out with a
00:23:18.250 --> 00:23:20.450
knee, but for the most part, they've all had
00:23:20.450 --> 00:23:22.990
a style of minimizing damage. They are still
00:23:23.309 --> 00:23:25.650
They can still at this stage like beat almost
00:23:25.650 --> 00:23:28.430
anybody in the world So they have longevity they
00:23:28.430 --> 00:23:30.809
they were very smart on how they were doing it
00:23:30.809 --> 00:23:33.170
and they were trying to make it into a system
00:23:33.170 --> 00:23:35.630
instead of brawling and I'm trying to do the
00:23:35.630 --> 00:23:37.630
same thing like system dies and gamified whole
00:23:37.630 --> 00:23:41.170
thing Well, have you been an MMA fan your entire
00:23:41.170 --> 00:23:43.190
life like dating back when you were young? Did
00:23:43.190 --> 00:23:45.029
you did you fall in love or and not even just
00:23:45.029 --> 00:23:48.769
MMA combat sports in general? I think I think
00:23:48.769 --> 00:23:51.009
where I grew up it was just soccer like I played
00:23:51.009 --> 00:23:53.910
soccer from the age of five to 18 and then I
00:23:53.910 --> 00:23:56.609
left. And I think eventually maybe like four
00:23:56.609 --> 00:23:58.829
or five years later, I stole my first UFC fight.
00:23:59.529 --> 00:24:02.109
So it wasn't in there. It wasn't a big thing
00:24:02.109 --> 00:24:04.609
in my life at all. I do remember when I was maybe
00:24:04.609 --> 00:24:06.490
like seven or eight, there was this Jiu Jitsu
00:24:06.490 --> 00:24:09.069
gym a few times away and we drove past it with
00:24:09.069 --> 00:24:10.430
my family. And I was like, can I train there?
00:24:10.630 --> 00:24:13.930
Just, I was like, that seems really cool. And
00:24:13.930 --> 00:24:15.630
my dad was like, Oh, that's pretty far away.
00:24:15.869 --> 00:24:17.230
Like, like if you really want to, we could do
00:24:17.230 --> 00:24:19.549
it, but it's a bit of a hassle. And then I was
00:24:19.549 --> 00:24:23.380
just like, okay, don't worry about it. So yeah.
00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:28.440
Just do me a favor. Are you going to reach out
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.980
to Boss Rutan at all? I would love to. He's one
00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:36.539
of my inspirations. I think he's amazing. He's
00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:39.880
incredible. Right now I don't have a direct path
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:42.019
to reach out to him, but maybe in the future.
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.440
So I know Rico Rodriguez used to train with him
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.519
back when him and Mark Kerr and all those guys
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:50.819
were training together. So maybe re care of things.
00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:53.400
We actually have a way to him. I didn't think
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:57.960
about that. Thank you So, all right now do me
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.640
a favor So if you get to just let me know I'm
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:02.900
like, you know happy to send me an autograph
00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:04.579
or something because that would be awesome I've
00:25:04.579 --> 00:25:08.460
worked at DeVos written for Over 20 years. So
00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:10.819
that would be let's fly in this train step on
00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:13.619
That'd be amazing. You know, one of the things
00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:15.680
that we've learned in starting this podcast is
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.509
kind of how And you're right, there's a lot of
00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:20.609
politics, there is a lot of gatekeeping. It's
00:25:20.609 --> 00:25:24.289
a very tradition -rich sport, tradition -richs
00:25:24.289 --> 00:25:26.970
training, all of that. Having said that though,
00:25:27.250 --> 00:25:30.970
we've learned how open the community is and how,
00:25:30.970 --> 00:25:33.690
you know, wanting to help and contribute the
00:25:33.690 --> 00:25:35.490
community is. Have you felt that way as well
00:25:35.490 --> 00:25:38.170
too, once you're diving deep into it? Yeah, for
00:25:38.170 --> 00:25:40.529
me, when Rico was trying to, I guess, destroy
00:25:40.529 --> 00:25:42.009
me, right, to see what that was made out of,
00:25:42.130 --> 00:25:44.740
like three hours non -stop, like... It wasn't
00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:46.700
like do 10 reps. It was like do a hundred to
00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:49.059
200 reps of everything without stopping. And
00:25:49.059 --> 00:25:51.420
I was just, there was not a moment when I wasn't
00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:54.180
breathing to like, like at my maximum, like it
00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:57.740
was constant destruction, sparring, situational
00:25:57.740 --> 00:25:59.240
firing, a hundred kicks right leg, a hundred
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:01.799
kicks left leg. That's a soul bike where you
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:04.400
use the hands with like, uh, I don't know, 30
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:06.099
seconds or one minute as hard as I could stand
00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:07.940
two minutes on my threshold when I could barely
00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:09.400
breathe just to break off for a little bit. And
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:11.500
then doing that for like five, 10, I don't even
00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:13.279
know how many, like I couldn't think of that
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:15.609
fish, but like. a lot of reps like three hours
00:26:15.609 --> 00:26:18.309
straight then get off the bikes and just throwing
00:26:18.309 --> 00:26:20.190
a medicine ball on my abs while I had to like
00:26:20.190 --> 00:26:22.170
do some kind of like crunches and it was just
00:26:22.170 --> 00:26:25.109
complete destruction but as that was happening
00:26:25.109 --> 00:26:27.789
and Rico was like don't waste my motherfucking
00:26:27.789 --> 00:26:30.230
time right he was he was trying to destroy me
00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:33.390
there were also 10 -15 other people I had a camera
00:26:33.390 --> 00:26:36.789
team I had Matt Cohen with me I had pro fighters
00:26:36.789 --> 00:26:38.930
at the gym and they were all so encouraging they
00:26:38.930 --> 00:26:40.890
were just like keep going don't give up keep
00:26:40.890 --> 00:26:43.390
going and There was a moment maybe two hours
00:26:43.390 --> 00:26:45.430
in when I just felt so much love. I was like,
00:26:45.529 --> 00:26:47.210
I know I'm being destroyed, but there was just
00:26:47.210 --> 00:26:49.470
so much love of people that were there just trying
00:26:49.470 --> 00:26:51.930
to get me through that stage by encouraging me
00:26:51.930 --> 00:26:54.630
with the kindest words that maybe I've heard
00:26:54.630 --> 00:26:59.910
in my life. So yeah, amazing community. Not that
00:26:59.910 --> 00:27:03.490
I have much advice I can give. I fought for several
00:27:03.490 --> 00:27:07.390
years and grappled for over half my life. My
00:27:07.390 --> 00:27:09.690
one advice if you go to a gym and they're not
00:27:09.690 --> 00:27:12.250
welcoming like that not trying to encourage you
00:27:12.250 --> 00:27:13.769
that's probably it's honestly probably not a
00:27:13.769 --> 00:27:16.450
good gen because Almost every gym I've been to
00:27:16.450 --> 00:27:19.150
with guys that are world champions or super high
00:27:19.150 --> 00:27:21.609
level fighters You know, they're always the guys
00:27:21.609 --> 00:27:23.289
wanting to help and want to teach and want to
00:27:23.289 --> 00:27:27.069
encourage you and it's the guys that you know
00:27:27.069 --> 00:27:29.690
Have huge egos that never accomplish crap. Those
00:27:29.690 --> 00:27:31.730
are the guys that try to try to tell you you
00:27:31.730 --> 00:27:33.890
can't do that crap You can't do that your You
00:27:33.890 --> 00:27:35.710
know then try beating you up to make an example
00:27:35.710 --> 00:27:37.630
of you or whatever because you know They've been
00:27:37.630 --> 00:27:40.029
doing it longer. So that's my one piece of advice
00:27:40.029 --> 00:27:43.369
if I have any I can give you is If they're if
00:27:43.369 --> 00:27:44.990
it's a good gym, they're going to be welcoming
00:27:44.990 --> 00:27:46.710
if they're good fighters are going to be welcoming
00:27:46.710 --> 00:27:49.269
i'm not ran into one in my entire time of grappling
00:27:49.269 --> 00:27:53.410
that wasn't a Like when I moved to brazil for
00:27:53.410 --> 00:27:55.289
grappling, you know what I mean? Like they are
00:27:55.289 --> 00:27:56.930
all trying to speak english and all immediately
00:27:56.930 --> 00:27:58.630
trying to help me the best they could I knew
00:27:58.630 --> 00:28:00.589
I knew right then it was uh, that was the gym
00:28:00.589 --> 00:28:03.650
for me. So But that's, that's my advice. If I
00:28:03.650 --> 00:28:07.589
can get any. Amazing. Yeah. You know, the three
00:28:07.589 --> 00:28:09.609
of us are based in Oklahoma. I don't know if
00:28:09.609 --> 00:28:11.529
you know that, but our listeners will know that.
00:28:11.950 --> 00:28:13.890
And, you know, in Oklahoma, just north of where
00:28:13.890 --> 00:28:15.910
we live, Stillwater, Oklahoma state, it's a big
00:28:15.910 --> 00:28:17.869
wrestling community. It's a big wrestling state.
00:28:18.410 --> 00:28:21.430
I think most people would say wrestling is probably
00:28:21.430 --> 00:28:24.190
the best base to have in MMA. It kind of creates
00:28:24.190 --> 00:28:26.650
the best launching pad for everything else. You
00:28:26.650 --> 00:28:28.170
mentioned that you've done a little bit of wrestling
00:28:28.170 --> 00:28:29.829
work so far. Can you talk about that a little
00:28:29.829 --> 00:28:32.269
bit more? deep have you dived into the wrestling
00:28:32.269 --> 00:28:34.470
technique and, and, and what are your fundamentals
00:28:34.470 --> 00:28:37.450
there? Yes. So I was training at AMG in Miami
00:28:37.450 --> 00:28:40.089
and they had the national champion. Yeah. That's
00:28:40.089 --> 00:28:43.509
a national, I'll call his name for you, but that's
00:28:43.509 --> 00:28:45.710
the national champion there. And he was, he was
00:28:45.710 --> 00:28:48.430
actually showing me some interesting concepts
00:28:48.430 --> 00:28:51.009
because I was very surprised about how he was
00:28:51.009 --> 00:28:53.069
teaching wrestling. It was like flow, like breathe,
00:28:53.950 --> 00:28:55.910
like, like almost like be like water. And I thought
00:28:55.910 --> 00:28:58.450
wrestling was like. Like, like the earth element,
00:28:58.549 --> 00:29:01.509
like destroy, like grade through somebody. Um,
00:29:01.869 --> 00:29:05.230
so that was, that was incredibly inspiring really.
00:29:05.890 --> 00:29:07.990
So he, he was training me, I was training with
00:29:07.990 --> 00:29:09.930
the Saints brothers as well, like state champions.
00:29:10.349 --> 00:29:12.430
I was training with Michael Sains. He was the,
00:29:12.430 --> 00:29:15.670
he won the ATCC West Coast trials. And they were
00:29:15.670 --> 00:29:17.730
all showing me some of the best wrestling techniques
00:29:17.730 --> 00:29:21.309
they had, but they were very, they had a very
00:29:21.309 --> 00:29:24.519
heavy emphasis on you can't. They were saying
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:26.920
like, you can't just do wrestling because you're
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.519
going to get submitted. Like you have to be aware
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:32.519
of the submissions that can happen as you do
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.099
a takedown. Um, so to me, that was incredible
00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:38.839
because first of all, it wasn't just like headbutt
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:40.380
and like break your teeth, which is a lot of
00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:44.400
wrestling cultures. Um, like, but they were just,
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:46.279
they were almost like technicians. Like they
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:49.880
were just like smooth, make it perfect. Like
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.630
find the opening, be like water, right? So that
00:29:52.630 --> 00:29:55.069
made a massive difference. So they showed me
00:29:55.069 --> 00:29:58.569
three takedowns and I've done a few times due
00:29:58.569 --> 00:30:00.690
to grappling since. And of course the level there
00:30:00.690 --> 00:30:03.789
in wrestling is much less, but I could hit every
00:30:03.789 --> 00:30:06.589
takedown every single time, even on black belts.
00:30:07.730 --> 00:30:10.650
So it went pretty fast. Of course the different
00:30:10.650 --> 00:30:13.250
levels of black belt, right? Like it's not like
00:30:13.250 --> 00:30:16.289
a Royal Champion black belt. But a black belt
00:30:16.289 --> 00:30:19.140
nonetheless is still something... has been there,
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:20.680
so if you're taking them down, you're obviously
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.680
a step up in the game already, so obviously you're
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.740
making pretty solid progress quickly, it sounds
00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:29.380
like. Yeah, and so my trainers really, they make
00:30:29.380 --> 00:30:31.299
it simple for me, they save me a lot of time.
00:30:32.059 --> 00:30:34.099
I'm really fortunate as well about all the private
00:30:34.099 --> 00:30:35.960
lessons that I've gotten because we have cameras,
00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:38.460
and there's definitely an extra element that
00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:41.160
adds to it, but also with XMM Mexico, it really
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.779
almost kills the entire thing, so it's good and
00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:47.130
bad at the same time. You know, now I want to,
00:30:47.130 --> 00:30:48.829
I want to stress for, before I ask this question,
00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:52.289
I'm not asking you what your best area is. I
00:30:52.289 --> 00:30:53.750
don't want you to give any secrets. I don't want
00:30:53.750 --> 00:30:55.109
you to give anything out there that could be
00:30:55.109 --> 00:30:57.390
used against you in the future, but diving into
00:30:57.390 --> 00:30:58.930
the different techniques and kind of looking
00:30:58.930 --> 00:31:01.869
at them so far, what is the one that you kind
00:31:01.869 --> 00:31:04.829
of feel the best in? Like, do you connect with
00:31:04.829 --> 00:31:10.069
the best individually? I actually have like,
00:31:10.130 --> 00:31:12.269
like you're seeing it actually on Instagram right
00:31:12.269 --> 00:31:15.380
now. And I used that one for the last. three
00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:17.299
months without knowing it was a technique. So,
00:31:17.339 --> 00:31:20.299
uh, you know, when you, how do you describe it
00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:22.839
in the best way? If my right leg hits your right
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:24.720
leg and I do like a barembolo on the grounds,
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:26.819
when I'm in mounts, for example, and then I take
00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:29.059
your back with that, you can hit that one from
00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:31.299
a takedown. So it's like a double leg combination,
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.099
but you, you, you just hook the leg. And in judo,
00:31:34.180 --> 00:31:35.859
it has like a different name as well, where you've
00:31:35.859 --> 00:31:37.839
got like hooked, uh, where you put your arm over
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:39.559
their legs. So it's just like your whole body
00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:42.420
goes on one leg. Um, and they will fall, but
00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:44.509
they can take your back. from that position.
00:31:44.609 --> 00:31:47.490
So you have to roll through to make the technique
00:31:47.490 --> 00:31:50.309
successful in, in grappling. Um, and I've hit
00:31:50.309 --> 00:31:53.210
that one on, on like the highest level guy was
00:31:53.210 --> 00:31:57.430
a European. He was the number two in European
00:31:57.430 --> 00:31:59.589
wrestling. Oh, he's older now. He's like, he's
00:31:59.589 --> 00:32:02.950
like 45, but I hit that one on him. Um, you just
00:32:02.950 --> 00:32:05.470
dive on it. Like you just, it's almost like you,
00:32:05.549 --> 00:32:07.589
you just hug that leg with, with your right leg
00:32:07.589 --> 00:32:10.430
on their right leg. You hug it with your leg
00:32:10.430 --> 00:32:12.210
goes around their leg and it's very difficult
00:32:12.210 --> 00:32:13.960
for them to do anything. Like, they can only
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:16.180
really take your back, but if I put my whole
00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:18.279
body weight on that one leg, like, you're gonna
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:20.759
fall. Like, it's very tough to keep standing.
00:32:21.779 --> 00:32:23.359
You mentioned that you had a soccer background
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:24.940
when you played soccer. I think you said since
00:32:24.940 --> 00:32:27.200
the age of five. Based on what you're telling
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:29.200
me now, I'm gonna assume you're a pretty athletic
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.759
individual. Yeah, I'm pretty explosive, pretty
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.079
fast. Yeah. It's hard to compare to other people
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.839
because I... Like, for example, we did a test
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:39.680
just to... We wanted to make a video about this,
00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:41.960
but I never did it because... We wanted to see
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:44.799
if I could sprint 100 meters under 12 seconds,
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.059
right? The world record is like 9 .58, so that's
00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:49.599
still very slow compared to them. But under 12
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.119
seconds is like a good athlete level. So I wanted
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:56.420
to work my way up and train to that level, but
00:32:56.420 --> 00:32:59.500
on my first attempt bare feet, I already hit
00:32:59.500 --> 00:33:02.680
that, so it was like 11 .8 or so. So I think
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:07.000
I rode it. Yeah. Look at you, man. Hell yeah.
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.089
Also. soccer background, I'm sure you kick probably
00:33:10.089 --> 00:33:14.269
pretty hard. That is one thing that my shins
00:33:14.269 --> 00:33:16.130
are pretty solid. Like it's not Muay Thai solid,
00:33:16.430 --> 00:33:19.869
but I even in soccer itself, I knew that my shins
00:33:19.869 --> 00:33:22.589
were harder than other people. Like one of my
00:33:22.589 --> 00:33:24.130
girlfriends, we used to call like razel shins.
00:33:24.190 --> 00:33:26.490
Like she wouldn't like to cuddle me in one certain
00:33:26.490 --> 00:33:28.029
position because like my shins would just feel
00:33:28.029 --> 00:33:31.430
like razels on my body. She would get so pissed
00:33:31.430 --> 00:33:33.809
and she would touch me. Don't touch me to razel
00:33:33.809 --> 00:33:37.049
shins, right? So I always felt like I had strong.
00:33:37.690 --> 00:33:40.089
40 to my legs and all people I don't know about
00:33:40.089 --> 00:33:42.009
the upper body because I think that's pretty
00:33:42.009 --> 00:33:44.869
more neglected just because soccer is mostly
00:33:44.869 --> 00:33:47.970
Legs in a sense is less physicality in that sense.
00:33:48.269 --> 00:33:50.650
But yeah, I do feel my lower body I think with
00:33:50.650 --> 00:33:53.390
the kicks that that won't that will help can
00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:57.150
you feel like there's been a a Transition a learning
00:33:57.150 --> 00:33:59.730
curve in learning to work with your hands boxing
00:33:59.730 --> 00:34:03.269
things to that nature Yeah, if I break it down,
00:34:03.269 --> 00:34:05.670
I'm definitely most naturally skilled in jujitsu
00:34:06.589 --> 00:34:09.469
from what I can see in a short period of time.
00:34:10.130 --> 00:34:12.650
Then I would say the little bit of moita that
00:34:12.650 --> 00:34:15.750
I've done with kicking, I feel I have a lot more
00:34:15.750 --> 00:34:18.829
accuracy in my legs than other people just because
00:34:18.829 --> 00:34:22.949
soccer. Because we were used to hitting a ball
00:34:22.949 --> 00:34:25.750
from any angle. And the Netherlands is a big
00:34:25.750 --> 00:34:28.090
soccer country, so it's decently high level.
00:34:29.530 --> 00:34:32.429
So probably moita and gg2 will be my strongest
00:34:32.429 --> 00:34:34.760
base. And then I really want to double down on
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:37.480
wrestling because it's just so important. And
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.099
that boxing is the one that I'm actually most
00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:41.239
scared of. Not even Muay Thai. Like boxing is
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.619
the one I'm most scared of. You're most scared
00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:48.340
of boxing? Yeah. That's funny. You say that was
00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:49.880
me too. I'm too pretty to get punched in the
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.360
face is what I always said, but what about it?
00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:55.500
What about it is what kind of scares you about
00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:58.380
boxing? It's and getting punched in the face,
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:03.099
but it's also I, I think I'm I don't like punching
00:35:03.099 --> 00:35:05.260
somebody else in my face. So we were in Virgil,
00:35:05.380 --> 00:35:06.980
New York, training with this guy, Bobby. He was
00:35:06.980 --> 00:35:08.920
a five time Golden Gloves champion. He's known
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:11.800
to be evasive. Like it's very tough to hit him.
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:13.900
I tried it. Like I couldn't, couldn't touch him.
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.440
Uh, like all out, like I couldn't touch him.
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:18.199
Like it was just so evasive. And of course I'm
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:20.219
not skilled, right. But he could do that apparently
00:35:20.219 --> 00:35:24.159
with pro fighters with anybody. And we were doing
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:26.840
a drill where we were just doing a jab and a
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.260
cross and the other person was defending. So
00:35:29.260 --> 00:35:30.619
one person was parrying and the other person
00:35:30.619 --> 00:35:34.010
was just. jabbing and crossing and we had just
00:35:34.010 --> 00:35:37.190
spent an hour working on my jab on my cross and
00:35:37.190 --> 00:35:40.130
they were looking from what I heard really really
00:35:40.130 --> 00:35:42.610
good like very good like the camera people like
00:35:42.610 --> 00:35:45.449
like they were very happy with what was happening
00:35:45.449 --> 00:35:48.250
a lot of power like a lot of speeds like pull
00:35:48.250 --> 00:35:50.449
the bag as quickly as I could and then we were
00:35:50.449 --> 00:35:53.849
doing these sparring drills and like Bobby keeps
00:35:53.849 --> 00:35:55.630
shaking his head he's like what the hell are
00:35:55.630 --> 00:35:57.510
you doing like like why are you hitting him like
00:35:57.510 --> 00:35:59.980
that like a girl but not even in a bad way to
00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:01.860
girls. He's like, why are you hitting them like
00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:03.880
that? I'm like, what? I'm trying like everything
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:05.739
I can. He's like, no, look how hard you're breathing.
00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:08.900
Like we did an hour long of just jabbing and
00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:10.420
straights without any breaks and you weren't
00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:12.579
breathing heavy at all. And now you're doing
00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:16.179
this, this, this two minutes and you haven't
00:36:16.179 --> 00:36:18.260
hit him once. Like I can see you tensing all
00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:20.880
the punches. Like, like this is horrible. And
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.179
on the camera, you can see it. Like I was basically
00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:25.260
looking back, I thought I was maybe doing like
00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:27.929
70, 80 % of my power. But probably like in terms
00:36:27.929 --> 00:36:29.329
of what I actually had, I was doing like 10,
00:36:29.409 --> 00:36:32.150
15 percent. I was so terrified of hitting another
00:36:32.150 --> 00:36:34.510
person in the face because I wanted to be respectful.
00:36:34.530 --> 00:36:37.030
I'm in a different gym. I'm trying to try to
00:36:37.030 --> 00:36:39.630
be kind to them. So all these things, right?
00:36:39.690 --> 00:36:41.550
But I'm going against a, I think it was a pro
00:36:41.550 --> 00:36:44.909
vital, pro boxer, right? So eventually he's like,
00:36:44.909 --> 00:36:47.610
stop. He's like, hit me in the face. Like I won't
00:36:47.610 --> 00:36:50.889
even move my, hit me in the face. Like for fuck's
00:36:50.889 --> 00:36:55.559
sake, come on. So like, okay, like, yeah, like
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.559
maybe like 30%, but he's like, okay, better.
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.860
Right. Now go. Right. So that I definitely have
00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:03.260
to get over the thing of like hurting the other
00:37:03.260 --> 00:37:05.820
person. Cause with Jiu Jitsu, I can control another
00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:07.179
person. I don't have to hurt them. Like they
00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:09.619
can just tap, but I feel like with boxing, like
00:37:09.619 --> 00:37:11.780
I do think I have enough power to knock somebody
00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:14.239
out. Um, I've actually always felt that like,
00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:16.099
and back when I was younger, it was delusional,
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:17.440
but I did feel like on that, there's a little
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.170
punching bag. I could always hit one of the hardest
00:37:22.170 --> 00:37:25.030
if not the hardest out of all my friends. I was
00:37:25.030 --> 00:37:27.789
always concerned with hurting somebody because
00:37:27.789 --> 00:37:30.030
I was like, what if I knocked him out? What if
00:37:30.030 --> 00:37:33.289
I go to jail? What if he doesn't wake up? I have
00:37:33.289 --> 00:37:36.530
some deep rooted beliefs about it. It's paradoxical.
00:37:36.650 --> 00:37:38.670
Maybe I have a lot of power in my hands, but
00:37:38.670 --> 00:37:43.510
I don't want to hurt the other person. That's
00:37:43.510 --> 00:37:46.519
the one I'm overcoming. One of my favorite parts
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:48.340
of this entire process that you're putting out
00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:50.380
there is the fact that you're doing it specifically
00:37:50.380 --> 00:37:53.500
to show your son That you can do things that
00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:56.639
are that are hard that are impossible How so
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.000
far has your son reacted to the process of going
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.300
through this and like has he seen your growth?
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:04.360
Does he just speak about that? I mean, he's turning
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:06.380
three. So he doesn't know that much about it
00:38:06.380 --> 00:38:09.179
yet. He's young young Okay, all right. I've got
00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:11.519
a five -year -old son who would be just enamored
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:13.019
with everything that you're doing right now He
00:38:13.019 --> 00:38:15.570
would love it. So Yeah, the difference between
00:38:15.570 --> 00:38:19.090
3 and 5 is massive. He's almost 3, but that difference
00:38:19.090 --> 00:38:21.829
will be massive. So I can't wait for him to see
00:38:21.829 --> 00:38:25.190
it 3D. We'll wrap up. Is there anything else
00:38:25.190 --> 00:38:27.829
you want to let us know, talk about your documentary
00:38:27.829 --> 00:38:29.150
coming up that you want to let the fans know
00:38:29.150 --> 00:38:32.989
about? No, I mean, if you want to learn anything
00:38:32.989 --> 00:38:35.170
else about me, I wouldn't go to my social media
00:38:35.170 --> 00:38:36.510
right away. We're still building that. That will
00:38:36.510 --> 00:38:38.489
be like one to three months out before something
00:38:38.489 --> 00:38:41.309
good will be published. But impossible documentary,
00:38:41.469 --> 00:38:44.409
just like one word, impossible documentary. dot
00:38:44.409 --> 00:38:46.929
com You can find everything with the score in

Welcome to Scrap Talk, your inside look from
00:00:09.619 --> 00:00:12.640
three outsiders of combat sports, where we aren't
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.820

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:27.839
we are anyway. Hello and welcome back to Scrap

00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:33.159
show. But joining us we have Scotty and that's
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.740
not our special guest. We asked them all and
00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:39.359
that is also not the special guest and we have
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.880
joining us as Colin Dinglestad and He is making
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.359
a documentary. We've talked about on previous
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.340
episode about His journey into MMA and we're
00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:54.780
glad to have you on Colin That's me here So we'll
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:57.759
just we'll jump into it man. So you're 28 years
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.530
old, correct? Right now. Yes in two months in
00:01:01.530 --> 00:01:05.209
September one month and 14 days. I'll be 29.
00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:10.269
So 29 old So you're making this documentary and
00:01:10.269 --> 00:01:13.510
what it is is Colin being starting his journey
00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:16.170
and in May at 28 years old Wanting to prove that
00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:19.269
he can become a MMA champion prove to you know,
00:01:19.269 --> 00:01:21.670
that impossible tasks aren't impossible You know
00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:23.530
hence the name of the documentary, but he wants
00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:25.769
to you know He's a father and he wants to show
00:01:25.769 --> 00:01:28.290
that this you know to his child that you know,
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:30.810
you know Can do you can do anything you put your
00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:33.510
mind to so Colin set forth with you know, he's
00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:35.890
not a he's not a boxer He's not a wrestler. He
00:01:35.890 --> 00:01:38.189
started a journey in the MMA at 28 years old
00:01:38.189 --> 00:01:41.230
and his goal is to become a champion He's getting
00:01:41.230 --> 00:01:43.450
the best coaches in the world. He's getting I
00:01:43.450 --> 00:01:46.609
mean he's going through it and You know, he's
00:01:46.609 --> 00:01:48.549
he's he's setting himself up doing it the right
00:01:48.549 --> 00:01:50.849
way But he's he's trying to prove to not just
00:01:50.849 --> 00:01:53.489
himself there by like impossible tasks are impossible
00:01:53.489 --> 00:01:55.790
so Colin tell us a little bit about your your
00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:57.409
documentary what got you started and want to
00:01:57.409 --> 00:01:59.900
make it and how you got to where you are within,
00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:03.420
whose direction. Just give us an info, man. Yeah,
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.260
I think at the end of the day, although we can
00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:07.859
be for anybody really, but especially our children
00:02:07.859 --> 00:02:11.699
as an example, a role model, right? I think far
00:02:11.699 --> 00:02:14.580
too many of us, including me, I've started a
00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:16.560
few companies and life was very comfortable.
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:19.000
Like, not that I had a lot of money, but I could
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.120
travel, I could do what I wanted. And I think
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.919
eventually it gives you a feeling of numbness.
00:02:25.099 --> 00:02:27.280
Like you don't really feel alive anymore. You're
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.180
just going through the motion. So I wanted to
00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:36.219
see if I could set a goal that would just be
00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:38.439
impossible to most people and just see if I could
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.759
achieve it and hopefully to be a role model for
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:49.219
him. So here we are. How did you get in contact?
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.979
I think you told me Matt Cohen's directing it,
00:02:51.979 --> 00:02:55.810
correct? Yeah, correct. How did you get in contact
00:02:55.810 --> 00:02:58.110
with everybody and get started making this, making
00:02:58.110 --> 00:03:02.810
the documentary itself? Yeah, I think most people,
00:03:03.229 --> 00:03:05.569
they think too small. All the people that think
00:03:05.569 --> 00:03:07.789
too big, they don't actually execute. But I think
00:03:07.789 --> 00:03:09.490
everybody should just go over the options and
00:03:09.490 --> 00:03:14.110
be like, what am I uniquely skilled at that has
00:03:14.110 --> 00:03:16.069
some kind of chance of me pulling it off, right?
00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:17.909
There are only like a few things in the world
00:03:17.909 --> 00:03:21.650
that you can truly be exceptional at. So I wrote
00:03:21.650 --> 00:03:23.389
a list of like all the different things I could
00:03:23.389 --> 00:03:27.039
do. and becoming an MMA champion like that once
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.819
the one that actually felt really true and I'd
00:03:29.819 --> 00:03:33.460
always been really I'd always been watching and
00:03:33.460 --> 00:03:35.939
I had trained a little bit like two weeks of
00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:38.740
boxing like I was a white belt in jiu -jitsu
00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:41.080
three days of wrestling like almost nothing but
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.099
I'm I always felt like I want to do more with
00:03:44.099 --> 00:03:47.069
this but I didn't want to put the time in Um,
00:03:47.129 --> 00:03:48.750
so when I wrote it on my list, I'm like, what
00:03:48.750 --> 00:03:50.409
if I just see if it can become like a champion,
00:03:50.650 --> 00:03:52.770
right? Most people train when they're the Dagestani
00:03:52.770 --> 00:03:54.349
people, the Russians, they train when they're
00:03:54.349 --> 00:03:57.009
like one year old wrestling with bears. I was
00:03:57.009 --> 00:03:59.250
like, what if I can do it at the age of 28, almost
00:03:59.250 --> 00:04:02.430
29 right now? Wouldn't that be something? And
00:04:02.430 --> 00:04:04.430
even just the pursuit would be, would be amazing
00:04:04.430 --> 00:04:08.069
in that sense. So when I committed to the goal
00:04:08.069 --> 00:04:10.310
and like it fell in line, I just started reaching
00:04:10.310 --> 00:04:13.050
out to everybody. I knew I'm like, who do you
00:04:13.050 --> 00:04:14.610
know that does fighting? Like, who do you know
00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:18.509
that? can help with this, right? And then one
00:04:18.509 --> 00:04:20.170
thing led to the other. And eventually I'm talking
00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:24.670
to Matt Cohen, who is a Hollywood actor and producer.
00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:27.029
And I'm like, did I end up on a call with him?
00:04:27.069 --> 00:04:28.730
What does he have to do with this whole thing?
00:04:29.610 --> 00:04:31.790
And initially I wanted to do it on YouTube. And
00:04:31.790 --> 00:04:33.290
it was just like, we do a YouTube series and
00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:35.389
we do it in the right way. And he was like, no,
00:04:35.470 --> 00:04:37.170
man, we're going to put you on Netflix, Apple,
00:04:37.329 --> 00:04:38.829
Amazon, all the big names going to have like
00:04:38.829 --> 00:04:40.430
three, like here's how we're going to do it.
00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:43.300
He's a massive fight fan and he's like, the first
00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:44.360
thing that we're going to do is we're going to
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.920
fly to New York and we're going to train in this
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.860
Trinity boxing club. Like this is old school
00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:51.740
gym. It looks like a Hollywood movie set. And
00:04:51.740 --> 00:04:53.660
there's a gold and glass boxing champion is going
00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:56.339
to train you. And, uh, when can you leave them?
00:04:56.579 --> 00:04:59.519
Like, like tomorrow, like so within 48 hours
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.839
we flew to New York to get on, to, uh, to make
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.779
it happen. And then from that, that same day,
00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:08.839
my buddy, Jonathan Waters also connected me to
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.740
Matt. He's like, I might know Rico Rodriguez,
00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:15.540
the former UFC heavyweight world champion. And
00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:17.060
Matt was like, make the connection. Like, like,
00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:18.360
let me talk to him. Let me talk to him. Right.
00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:21.620
So as I'm going through day one with the camera
00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:23.500
people trying to be in the right position, trying
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:26.480
to, um, we had a photographer coming as well,
00:05:26.660 --> 00:05:28.040
award -winning photographer. Like, like, so it
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:29.819
was a lot, like it was quite overwhelming. I
00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:32.319
flew through the night and no sleep. Um, and
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.759
then at the end of the day, cause Matt and I
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.720
was sleeping in the same, uh, same house and
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.230
he was like, I did it. Like we're going to see
00:05:40.230 --> 00:05:43.589
Rico tomorrow and he's going to take you through
00:05:43.589 --> 00:05:46.290
three hours of the most brutal training known
00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:48.750
to mankind. And he's going to see if you have
00:05:48.750 --> 00:05:51.209
what it takes. Right. And then he built that
00:05:51.209 --> 00:05:54.029
gym from scratch. Like he built his own gym with
00:05:54.029 --> 00:05:57.910
like two octagons, everything, sauna, cryo, his
00:05:57.910 --> 00:06:00.110
own fitness center. Like it has everything. Like
00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:01.769
he doesn't own the gym, but he built the gym.
00:06:02.410 --> 00:06:04.949
And yeah, from one thing, one thing led to the
00:06:04.949 --> 00:06:07.779
other. And then we just kept going. That's excellent
00:06:07.779 --> 00:06:09.839
Colin. I'll tell you I'm exactly ten years and
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.420
four days older than you and everything You've
00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:14.639
already said it's inspirational to me just in
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.000
the very short conversation We've had so I can
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.639
definitely see the vision of what you want to
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.639
get out there with this documentary You know,
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.899
we were chatting very briefly before we hit record
00:06:22.899 --> 00:06:24.939
and you mentioned everybody's gonna already notice
00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:27.620
it from hearing it You're you're from the Netherlands
00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:30.240
originally and and my first question you've kind
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.939
of answered a little bit already I was gonna
00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:34.680
ask you the very basic question of what background
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.540
in MMA do you have? You mentioned your white
00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:40.620
belt jiu -jitsu, you were in a box. What age
00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:42.540
did you start that? Did you start that when you
00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:45.740
were still in Netherlands or was it here recently
00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:49.420
that you did that? Actually, I made a list when
00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:53.120
I was 19, so I left home when I was 18 and then
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.139
I went to Italy and then I eventually went to
00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:57.139
Nepal and I tried to start my first business.
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.620
And in Nepal, I made a list. I actually haven't
00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:01.860
shared this with anybody. But I made a list about
00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:04.740
how my, my ultimate self would look like, and
00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:06.699
I didn't think about being like a champion or
00:07:06.699 --> 00:07:09.180
anything like that. But it was like, I want to
00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:12.279
be able to run a marathon. I want to be able
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.279
to run that eventually end up being, I want to
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.600
be able to run an ultra marathon. I want to have
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.500
these weightlifting stats. I want to have this
00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:20.879
kind of flexibility. And it was just a whole
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.899
list was like a whole page of like every kind
00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:24.860
of physical stat, like a video game character.
00:07:25.590 --> 00:07:27.889
And one line on that was like, I want to be able
00:07:27.889 --> 00:07:30.649
to give a professional fighter some kind of a
00:07:30.649 --> 00:07:32.870
fight. Like I won't win, but I want to give them
00:07:32.870 --> 00:07:35.810
strong kind of a fight. And that was it. Like
00:07:35.810 --> 00:07:38.790
there was nothing else to it. But a couple of
00:07:38.790 --> 00:07:40.329
years later, like four or five years later, when
00:07:40.329 --> 00:07:45.089
I was in Mexico, I found a trainer and I was
00:07:45.089 --> 00:07:48.189
trying to learn salsa to pick up women. And I
00:07:48.189 --> 00:07:53.009
was like, I'll try Muay Thai as well. So I went
00:07:53.009 --> 00:07:56.029
to this. Mexican gym like in the ghetto. At least
00:07:56.029 --> 00:07:58.129
that's how it felt to me. And this guy just started
00:07:58.129 --> 00:08:00.649
training me. And look, I did that just for like
00:08:00.649 --> 00:08:03.110
a week or so, but I really enjoyed it. I just
00:08:03.110 --> 00:08:07.490
realized how tough it was. It was, it was like
00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:11.350
bad, mad, bad, bad environment, like bad. Uh,
00:08:11.350 --> 00:08:13.629
everything, technique was bad. Like it was just
00:08:13.629 --> 00:08:16.209
pure Mexican style of like, you're going to,
00:08:16.209 --> 00:08:18.470
uh, punch him once and he's going to punch you
00:08:18.470 --> 00:08:21.100
back. So I stopped pretty quickly because I was
00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:22.720
like this is going to be very bad for my health
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.480
and I need somebody who had a bit more skill
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.439
in that sense. But that was kind of my first
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:31.759
MMA experience and I was probably 23 or 24 at
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.320
the time. So that's how I started. And then nothing
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.360
for half a few years by the way, just nothing.
00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:43.100
So Paul and I'm curious, what weight class will
00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:47.179
you fight in? We have one crazy goal that that
00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:49.059
I haven't announced yet and again what we'll
00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:50.720
see right there's some issues with my shoulders,
00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:55.000
but Right now I should fight at 155 because I'm
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.720
about 180 so I should comfortably fight at 155
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.899
although some of the guys now are 185 190 I could
00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:06.779
also go to 145 because I'm like 511 so I would
00:09:06.779 --> 00:09:11.259
have a I would have good stats for 145 155 would
00:09:11.259 --> 00:09:15.399
be fine as well 170 would be Too much like those
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.740
guys are like 190 200 pounds. So between 125
00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:22.879
55 What is your trajectory in terms of like?
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.860
Have you actually had a professional fight yet?
00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:28.240
And when you do what promotion will be with?
00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:31.720
Yes, so we saw there's only two months ago. So
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.559
it's pretty fresh. It's It's a lot of big talk
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.279
at this stage We do have some world champs that
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.080
said like you can do it So that does give some
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.659
credibility to it, but it's still like we have
00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:44.629
a long way to go. So We had two options. One
00:09:44.629 --> 00:09:47.110
was just to do a lot of amateur fights like one
00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:49.210
a month or two a month and just a lot and then
00:09:49.210 --> 00:09:52.929
just go through the fire and then just see my
00:09:52.929 --> 00:09:55.649
mistakes and improve it and just probably get
00:09:55.649 --> 00:09:57.769
a lot of brain damage and injuries, but it would
00:09:57.769 --> 00:10:01.210
also be a fast. The other path was more cinematic
00:10:01.210 --> 00:10:04.049
as well. It's like learn boxing first for eight
00:10:04.049 --> 00:10:05.970
weeks at some, with some kind of a world champion
00:10:05.970 --> 00:10:08.289
and set yourself like the highest goal you can
00:10:08.289 --> 00:10:10.690
get, maybe a pro fight. Even if you don't win,
00:10:10.690 --> 00:10:13.080
it will show the progression. then do the same
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.139
to a Muay Thai, like spend four to eight weeks
00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:17.679
to Muay Thai, then do eight weeks of Jiu -Jitsu,
00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:19.840
grappling, wrestling, everything in one go, just
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.980
with the best people you can find. And then put
00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:25.440
everything together for your first MMA fight
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.600
with Firas Ahabi or some kind of like, like GSP's
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:30.460
coach or some kind of like really good training
00:10:30.460 --> 00:10:32.899
camp. And it seems slower in the beginning because
00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:34.940
it was delayed by like five, six months, but
00:10:34.940 --> 00:10:38.299
I think in the long run, having done those disciplines
00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:40.659
just so obsessively, I think it will, it will
00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:44.480
help. Well, you talked about just now training
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.399
for eight weeks for boxing, eight weeks for different,
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.179
you know, training camp, basically training camp
00:10:49.179 --> 00:10:52.019
after training camp. That's hard on your body.
00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:55.340
So do you have like nutritionists and all that
00:10:55.340 --> 00:10:57.659
with you or how you, how are you handling the,
00:10:57.659 --> 00:11:01.240
the strain to training puts on your body? Yeah,
00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:04.460
actually for me, the flight is the most difficult
00:11:04.460 --> 00:11:06.639
thing because I'm seeing my son in the weekends.
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.620
So I. Because I didn't want to miss a single
00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:12.039
minute of time with him. So I am flying out Sunday
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.039
night or Monday early morning. And then I'm back
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.460
and I'm back Thursday night or Friday early morning.
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.580
So that's actually, so some flights on the night,
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.840
sometimes I don't sleep. I'm constantly traveling.
00:11:26.179 --> 00:11:28.740
So I constantly having a nutritionist that just
00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:31.159
flies with me, but it's, it's slightly too expensive
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.860
at this stage. So I'm just doing, doing the best
00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:35.679
I can at where I'm at. I have somebody taking
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.389
care of my meals, but when I'm traveling. I mean,
00:11:38.409 --> 00:11:42.169
I've been to maybe 15 cities in the last two
00:11:42.169 --> 00:11:45.889
months, so it's a lot. It's a lot. So I do my
00:11:45.889 --> 00:11:48.809
best when I'm at the places. It's a lot of smoothies,
00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:50.870
actually, green juices, smoothies, because that
00:11:50.870 --> 00:11:53.809
seems to be very easy to have and give me a lot
00:11:53.809 --> 00:11:56.309
of calories, just like almond butter, bananas,
00:11:57.110 --> 00:12:00.289
coconut oil, and that's like 1 ,000, 1 ,500 calories,
00:12:00.809 --> 00:12:03.649
just like that. Do you have any experience with
00:12:03.649 --> 00:12:07.120
weight cutting before? Um, I have a very different
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.440
side of weight cutting. I've done it. I've done
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.580
an 11 day water fast. We just only drink water
00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:17.700
and I lost I think 25 pounds in 10 days. So I've
00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:19.960
done it in a way that was like holistic in that
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.100
sense. But I have not done anything else in there.
00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:25.919
How did you feel after that 11 days when you
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.639
did the water fast? How did you feel like internally?
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.679
Oh, blissful. Like it was one of the best experiences
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.419
in my life. Like the first few days were difficult.
00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:37.799
But there were days where I barely had to sleep
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.700
like maybe two, three hours of sleep because
00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:42.519
I think we process so much food through our body
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.200
and it takes so much energy that we never give
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.000
the body a moment to rest. And then you also
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.960
realize, at least for me, how much extra energy
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.980
I had. Like it was just like when nothing is
00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:57.379
focused on just processing bad stuff, right?
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.639
Cause we all live in a toxic world. No pesticides
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.299
go into your body. No, like none of that. Like
00:13:03.299 --> 00:13:06.360
it's. It was like heaven. I was like, wow, that's,
00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:09.440
that's how it was supposed to be. Just also complete
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.220
focus. Like, like those Satori experiences where
00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:15.639
you just, again, it's also evolutionary, right?
00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:17.500
But if I saw somebody eating something, even
00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:20.019
like 50 feet away, I would just stare at them,
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:21.679
like without realizing it would just be like
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.659
almost hunting them. Just like looking at what
00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:25.419
they were doing. Just like, like Mike Tyson,
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:30.679
when he tracks the ice like that. So yeah, it
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.669
was good experience. Wow. Hope you're training
00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:38.190
with Rico Rodriguez, but who all are you training
00:13:38.190 --> 00:13:40.129
with? I mean sounds like you're all over the
00:13:40.129 --> 00:13:44.309
place right now Yeah, so um with the u .s. I've
00:13:44.309 --> 00:13:46.570
pushed my visa quite a bit in the last two three
00:13:46.570 --> 00:13:49.470
months, so I just don't want to Make it seem
00:13:49.470 --> 00:13:51.250
like I'm living in the u .s. Because I'm not
00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:53.470
right, but just by flying and flying are flying
00:13:53.470 --> 00:13:57.049
and flying out like every week I felt like I've
00:13:57.049 --> 00:13:58.830
been pushing the u .s. A lot because I have amazing
00:13:58.830 --> 00:14:02.610
training locations in New York in Miami, so I
00:14:02.610 --> 00:14:05.129
was like Mexico, which is where my son is as
00:14:05.129 --> 00:14:07.450
well. Mom is Canadian and I'm Dutch, but he's
00:14:07.450 --> 00:14:10.769
in, he's in Mexico. So I'm training right now
00:14:10.769 --> 00:14:15.649
in Romanza gym with this guy named Ignacio Nacho
00:14:15.649 --> 00:14:18.370
Barista, probably butchering his name. But that
00:14:18.370 --> 00:14:22.149
guy has trained at least 29 world champions from
00:14:22.149 --> 00:14:24.970
almost nothing. So one of the best coaches in
00:14:24.970 --> 00:14:28.269
the world and that's just boxing. So if everything
00:14:28.269 --> 00:14:30.730
goes well, I'm flying out tonight or tomorrow
00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:33.090
morning. Back to mexica city train for four or
00:14:33.090 --> 00:14:34.990
five days then review in the weekends we cover
00:14:34.990 --> 00:14:37.190
and then I'll be doing that for the next like
00:14:37.190 --> 00:14:42.850
five six seven weeks Wow Yeah Are you do you
00:14:42.850 --> 00:14:44.929
have like other gyms like you're planning to
00:14:44.929 --> 00:14:47.750
visit our coaches or how are you planning your
00:14:47.750 --> 00:14:49.990
You're like coordinating with different coaches.
00:14:50.009 --> 00:14:51.490
How are you balanced? How are you finding these
00:14:51.490 --> 00:14:53.909
gyms to go to? Are you planning them out contact
00:14:53.909 --> 00:14:55.610
them advanced? Do you have a list of gyms? You
00:14:55.610 --> 00:14:57.990
want to go to or how are you picking out how
00:14:57.990 --> 00:15:00.919
you're going to train? Yeah, it's, it's based
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.940
a lot on going like almost like kissing a lot
00:15:03.940 --> 00:15:06.080
of frogs. Like I know that most people will not
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.960
be the right fit, but some, but there are only
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:11.600
a handful of people I could actually work with
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.179
to accomplish this goal. Also a lot of the professional
00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:17.139
people that I've met that are like not world
00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:20.179
champion, but like let's say top 50, they've
00:15:20.179 --> 00:15:22.080
been discouraging about the vision. They've been
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.700
like, it's not possible because they couldn't
00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:26.659
do it right. But every world champion or world
00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:28.440
champion coach is that like, of course you can
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.580
do it. Like here's how we're going to do it.
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:32.799
Right. So that's been a big difference. So again,
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.559
like a lot of differentiating between who I can
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.120
have access to and with boxing for me, there
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.220
were maybe five gyms in the world that I could
00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:43.879
train at. Um, so it wasn't that much. So in Mexico
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.460
city, I had a girl literally go to the gym because
00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:49.240
it's like an old school Mexican gym. Go to the
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.000
gym, speak Spanish and see if we can make some
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.129
kind of deal. And then. I love Terrence Crawford
00:15:54.129 --> 00:15:56.230
as well. Like I would hope to train with him
00:15:56.230 --> 00:15:58.129
one day, but it's in the U S so I didn't want
00:15:58.129 --> 00:15:59.990
to go to the U S didn't have also not reached
00:15:59.990 --> 00:16:02.370
out to him. Um, there were like four or five
00:16:02.370 --> 00:16:04.549
gyms. I basically died into Chad's team. Like
00:16:04.549 --> 00:16:07.610
who are the most decorated coaches of all time?
00:16:08.070 --> 00:16:11.269
Uh, undeniably based on, uh, who they've trained
00:16:11.269 --> 00:16:13.149
and who they've trained from almost nothing.
00:16:13.669 --> 00:16:15.330
Um, and it gave me a list of like 50 coaches
00:16:15.330 --> 00:16:17.809
and I five of them were like, for me, like I
00:16:17.809 --> 00:16:19.169
was like, this would be amazing if we could train
00:16:19.169 --> 00:16:21.740
with them. And yeah, then you just find a way
00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:24.740
to communicate with them. It's working so far.
00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:27.779
That's great. Are you in active production right
00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:29.519
now? So when you're going and training at these
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.360
gyms, do you have cameras with you currently?
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.700
Currently not, just because I almost couldn't
00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:38.840
train with them because of the cameras. So everything's
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.940
happening where I was born with that 100%. Yeah.
00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:44.639
Cause every other gym Miami, New York, like,
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:46.279
like that was all fine. Like there were no issues,
00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:49.840
but in this culture and I'm white, right? I don't.
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:51.679
I speak a little bit of Spanish, but not much.
00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:54.139
So it's, it's like a lot of reputation in that
00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:56.139
sense. And the guy is older, like he's in his
00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:58.799
eighties. So there's a lot of gatekeeping in
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.399
that sense as well. So basically they wanted
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.200
to train me, but they wanted to talk about having
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.019
the cameras. And I just said like, let's not
00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:07.920
do any cameras for the first one or two weeks.
00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:10.839
Let me just show you that I'm like not somebody
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.440
who's just trying to rip you off. So that's what
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:14.720
we're doing right now. And then I'll bring the
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.990
cameras in the week after hopefully. So. We have
00:17:18.990 --> 00:17:21.410
a funny running gag on our podcast that I have
00:17:21.410 --> 00:17:23.589
to bring up wrestling some way in every single
00:17:23.589 --> 00:17:25.730
episode. So I'm going to check that box out here.
00:17:26.029 --> 00:17:27.809
You definitely don't want to end up being like
00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:29.910
CM Punk. You don't want that situation to come
00:17:29.910 --> 00:17:31.670
out to where that's kind of the idea and the
00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:34.470
look that you've got with after UFC fight. So.
00:17:36.609 --> 00:17:39.450
Yeah, no, I'm with you. And I think it also comes
00:17:39.450 --> 00:17:41.410
down to eventually my training partner should
00:17:41.410 --> 00:17:44.190
be four more current world champions, right?
00:17:44.190 --> 00:17:47.089
If it can be part of the Dagestani Campbell.
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.539
Let's see, or GSP or also like, like some person
00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:54.440
that like mighty Mao is like somebody who's undeniably
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.019
has done this at the highest level and they can
00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:58.759
spar with them. Of course the weight class and
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.539
always the same. But if, if it, if I can comfortably
00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:03.980
go with professional finals, then that would
00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:08.160
give me a good indication that I'm ready. The
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.140
title, the 155 belt in the UFC. Is that, is that
00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:16.119
how you. That's the goal, but there's some politics
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.690
involved getting into the UFC. some open to if
00:18:18.690 --> 00:18:21.230
it would be a different organization the biggest
00:18:21.230 --> 00:18:24.170
thing would be I have to demolish my opponents
00:18:24.170 --> 00:18:26.650
in the amateur fights or like low level pro fights
00:18:26.650 --> 00:18:29.210
like I would have to like that would have to
00:18:29.210 --> 00:18:31.730
we have to systematically like make a plan for
00:18:31.730 --> 00:18:33.809
that because I can't just win just winning is
00:18:33.809 --> 00:18:37.069
not good enough like to get into the UFC I have
00:18:37.069 --> 00:18:40.829
to like show some things so uh that's also why
00:18:40.829 --> 00:18:43.150
I think this journey is more interesting uh to
00:18:43.150 --> 00:18:47.079
go Yeah, and I don't mean to sound skeptical,
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:48.900
but I don't think it's just like a walk in the
00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:51.819
park, right? To get into the organization. No,
00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:54.680
no, absolutely not. I love politics and hopefully
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:57.200
we'll have a bigger following as well. Well,
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.240
we're just starting right now. There's some really
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.559
big partnerships coming up. So with a bigger
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.319
following that will help a lot as well. That
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:08.279
we're adding value to the company. Definitely.
00:19:09.300 --> 00:19:11.279
You train much to just it sounds like right now.
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:13.140
It's strictly boxing You want to say you mentioned
00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:14.940
Dagestan? Are you are you trying to find like
00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:17.619
a gym and Smith's black? Specializes in just
00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:20.019
sort of gyms that specialize in boxing and then
00:19:20.019 --> 00:19:21.839
later to kind of bridge it all together You want
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.400
to kind of get a base of everything. Is that
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.960
what you're trying to start off doing? Yeah,
00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:28.859
yeah, exactly. I want to go through the disciplines
00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:31.779
first and then put everything together within
00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:33.460
like four to eight weeks per discipline It's
00:19:33.460 --> 00:19:35.559
not that much but the way that I'm training is
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.460
I'm trying to train six to ten hours a day And
00:19:38.460 --> 00:19:41.380
every extra minute that I have in watching studying
00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:43.200
tape, like going through anything, like even
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.299
my whole social media feed, like it's just shorts
00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:48.400
about, in this case, boxing, and the next week,
00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:51.160
like in five weeks, it will be Muay Thai. So
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:55.319
I'm completely immersing myself in the environment
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:58.299
to speed up the learning curve. And a lot of
00:19:58.299 --> 00:20:00.640
situational sparring is helping as well. Not
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.900
getting gun shy, not getting like immediately
00:20:02.900 --> 00:20:06.059
destroyed and just step -by -step getting the
00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:10.769
skillset, just like a video game. So one of the
00:20:10.769 --> 00:20:12.750
things that is not often talked about, but in
00:20:12.750 --> 00:20:15.970
this area, the mental game is almost, if not
00:20:15.970 --> 00:20:17.950
more important than the physical game, but just
00:20:17.950 --> 00:20:20.990
as important. What have you learned through this
00:20:20.990 --> 00:20:23.730
process so far about your mental growth, jumping
00:20:23.730 --> 00:20:27.769
in literally to the deep end? There's been one
00:20:27.769 --> 00:20:29.890
really cool brain hack that has made a really
00:20:29.890 --> 00:20:32.890
big difference in my entire life, really. You
00:20:32.890 --> 00:20:34.750
know sometimes when you walk into a room and
00:20:34.750 --> 00:20:36.740
you see maybe four people sitting? and you're
00:20:36.740 --> 00:20:38.440
like one, two, three, four, okay, that's four
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.519
people, or five people or ten people, you can
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:43.579
also just walk into the room and be like five
00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:46.099
or four, like you can see it in an instant, you
00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:49.119
don't have to use your mind to be slow and then
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.079
figure it out that way. And the same with the
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.559
techniques, like I realized that if I just see
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:58.400
it and do it, instead of thinking in between
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.079
or trying to even visualize it, which I used
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:04.529
to do, like just visualize everything, I can
00:21:04.529 --> 00:21:07.450
understand move so much faster. And just in my
00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:10.210
entire life, it feels, it feels much easier to
00:21:10.210 --> 00:21:12.190
almost let, I don't know if it's the subconscious
00:21:12.190 --> 00:21:15.089
or whatever it is, but something is smarter than
00:21:15.089 --> 00:21:18.230
your, your slow processing grain. And I've been
00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:20.569
trying to use that much more. Well, and it's
00:21:20.569 --> 00:21:22.490
just a short conversation. I can tell you're
00:21:22.490 --> 00:21:24.569
very introspective and that's something that
00:21:24.569 --> 00:21:26.690
you have as an individual very strongly. Have
00:21:26.690 --> 00:21:28.769
you always been like that, Colin, or is that
00:21:28.769 --> 00:21:30.390
something that you feel like was developed or
00:21:30.390 --> 00:21:32.369
did something happen that made you kind of be
00:21:32.369 --> 00:21:36.680
like that? Yeah, it actually did. I think when
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.680
I was at a 13, 14 or 15, I had a harder time
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.480
getting mad at girls. And I was like, there needs
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.420
to be some kind of way to solve this. And that
00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:47.380
led to self -development and then eventually
00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:50.259
psychology books and stuff like that. But at
00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:52.440
a certain point I was like, wait, I can improve.
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.140
Like I can develop as a person by just like being
00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:58.579
like, don't sit this way. Don't slouch. Like
00:21:58.579 --> 00:22:02.000
just like my inner voice correcting myself. Before
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.039
that, I don't even think I was doing any of that.
00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:06.720
Like maybe just purely out of instinct or emotion,
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:08.339
if it would get angry or something like that.
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.440
But that was a big shift for me. And then I never
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:14.380
really looked back. And it actually got quite
00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:16.660
harsh like for two or three years. Like I didn't
00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:18.599
really balance out. It was just like, everything
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:20.220
was criticizing. Like I have to sit straight.
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:21.660
I have to move straight. I have to walk in this
00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:25.799
way. It was really helpful, but it was also exhausting
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.539
looking back. And then eventually that voice
00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:31.059
calmed down and then... That kind of became my
00:22:31.059 --> 00:22:34.140
new habits and yeah, that's helped a lot. So
00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:37.099
after that It's a good thing that 13 year old
00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:38.819
you didn't learn the hack of all you had to do
00:22:38.819 --> 00:22:41.279
was move to america and just talk with your accent
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:43.180
and every single girl would just fall for you
00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:46.119
immediately, so He wasn't one of the psychology
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:51.579
books as well You talked about different gyms
00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:53.900
you train different styles you train what's your
00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:55.960
favorite style you train and what are some fighters
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.529
that you like? looked up to before you started
00:22:58.529 --> 00:23:00.829
training, like guys you want to emulate or whatever.
00:23:01.910 --> 00:23:06.450
Yeah, the big guys for me are GSB, Habib and
00:23:06.450 --> 00:23:09.190
Demetrious Johnson, mostly because they embody
00:23:09.190 --> 00:23:13.549
a style of taking very little damage, right?
00:23:13.630 --> 00:23:15.910
They've all been in very, I mean, Demetrious
00:23:15.910 --> 00:23:18.250
Johnson, like he got badly knocked out with a
00:23:18.250 --> 00:23:20.450
knee, but for the most part, they've all had
00:23:20.450 --> 00:23:22.990
a style of minimizing damage. They are still
00:23:23.309 --> 00:23:25.650
They can still at this stage like beat almost
00:23:25.650 --> 00:23:28.430
anybody in the world So they have longevity they
00:23:28.430 --> 00:23:30.809
they were very smart on how they were doing it
00:23:30.809 --> 00:23:33.170
and they were trying to make it into a system
00:23:33.170 --> 00:23:35.630
instead of brawling and I'm trying to do the
00:23:35.630 --> 00:23:37.630
same thing like system dies and gamified whole
00:23:37.630 --> 00:23:41.170
thing Well, have you been an MMA fan your entire
00:23:41.170 --> 00:23:43.190
life like dating back when you were young? Did
00:23:43.190 --> 00:23:45.029
you did you fall in love or and not even just
00:23:45.029 --> 00:23:48.769
MMA combat sports in general? I think I think
00:23:48.769 --> 00:23:51.009
where I grew up it was just soccer like I played
00:23:51.009 --> 00:23:53.910
soccer from the age of five to 18 and then I
00:23:53.910 --> 00:23:56.609
left. And I think eventually maybe like four
00:23:56.609 --> 00:23:58.829
or five years later, I stole my first UFC fight.
00:23:59.529 --> 00:24:02.109
So it wasn't in there. It wasn't a big thing
00:24:02.109 --> 00:24:04.609
in my life at all. I do remember when I was maybe
00:24:04.609 --> 00:24:06.490
like seven or eight, there was this Jiu Jitsu
00:24:06.490 --> 00:24:09.069
gym a few times away and we drove past it with
00:24:09.069 --> 00:24:10.430
my family. And I was like, can I train there?
00:24:10.630 --> 00:24:13.930
Just, I was like, that seems really cool. And
00:24:13.930 --> 00:24:15.630
my dad was like, Oh, that's pretty far away.
00:24:15.869 --> 00:24:17.230
Like, like if you really want to, we could do
00:24:17.230 --> 00:24:19.549
it, but it's a bit of a hassle. And then I was
00:24:19.549 --> 00:24:23.380
just like, okay, don't worry about it. So yeah.
00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:28.440
Just do me a favor. Are you going to reach out
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.980
to Boss Rutan at all? I would love to. He's one
00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:36.539
of my inspirations. I think he's amazing. He's
00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:39.880
incredible. Right now I don't have a direct path
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:42.019
to reach out to him, but maybe in the future.
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.440
So I know Rico Rodriguez used to train with him
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.519
back when him and Mark Kerr and all those guys
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:50.819
were training together. So maybe re care of things.
00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:53.400
We actually have a way to him. I didn't think
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:57.960
about that. Thank you So, all right now do me
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.640
a favor So if you get to just let me know I'm
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:02.900
like, you know happy to send me an autograph
00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:04.579
or something because that would be awesome I've
00:25:04.579 --> 00:25:08.460
worked at DeVos written for Over 20 years. So
00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:10.819
that would be let's fly in this train step on
00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:13.619
That'd be amazing. You know, one of the things
00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:15.680
that we've learned in starting this podcast is
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.509
kind of how And you're right, there's a lot of
00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:20.609
politics, there is a lot of gatekeeping. It's
00:25:20.609 --> 00:25:24.289
a very tradition -rich sport, tradition -richs
00:25:24.289 --> 00:25:26.970
training, all of that. Having said that though,
00:25:27.250 --> 00:25:30.970
we've learned how open the community is and how,
00:25:30.970 --> 00:25:33.690
you know, wanting to help and contribute the
00:25:33.690 --> 00:25:35.490
community is. Have you felt that way as well
00:25:35.490 --> 00:25:38.170
too, once you're diving deep into it? Yeah, for
00:25:38.170 --> 00:25:40.529
me, when Rico was trying to, I guess, destroy
00:25:40.529 --> 00:25:42.009
me, right, to see what that was made out of,
00:25:42.130 --> 00:25:44.740
like three hours non -stop, like... It wasn't
00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:46.700
like do 10 reps. It was like do a hundred to
00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:49.059
200 reps of everything without stopping. And
00:25:49.059 --> 00:25:51.420
I was just, there was not a moment when I wasn't
00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:54.180
breathing to like, like at my maximum, like it
00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:57.740
was constant destruction, sparring, situational
00:25:57.740 --> 00:25:59.240
firing, a hundred kicks right leg, a hundred
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:01.799
kicks left leg. That's a soul bike where you
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:04.400
use the hands with like, uh, I don't know, 30
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:06.099
seconds or one minute as hard as I could stand
00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:07.940
two minutes on my threshold when I could barely
00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:09.400
breathe just to break off for a little bit. And
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:11.500
then doing that for like five, 10, I don't even
00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:13.279
know how many, like I couldn't think of that
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:15.609
fish, but like. a lot of reps like three hours
00:26:15.609 --> 00:26:18.309
straight then get off the bikes and just throwing
00:26:18.309 --> 00:26:20.190
a medicine ball on my abs while I had to like
00:26:20.190 --> 00:26:22.170
do some kind of like crunches and it was just
00:26:22.170 --> 00:26:25.109
complete destruction but as that was happening
00:26:25.109 --> 00:26:27.789
and Rico was like don't waste my motherfucking
00:26:27.789 --> 00:26:30.230
time right he was he was trying to destroy me
00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:33.390
there were also 10 -15 other people I had a camera
00:26:33.390 --> 00:26:36.789
team I had Matt Cohen with me I had pro fighters
00:26:36.789 --> 00:26:38.930
at the gym and they were all so encouraging they
00:26:38.930 --> 00:26:40.890
were just like keep going don't give up keep
00:26:40.890 --> 00:26:43.390
going and There was a moment maybe two hours
00:26:43.390 --> 00:26:45.430
in when I just felt so much love. I was like,
00:26:45.529 --> 00:26:47.210
I know I'm being destroyed, but there was just
00:26:47.210 --> 00:26:49.470
so much love of people that were there just trying
00:26:49.470 --> 00:26:51.930
to get me through that stage by encouraging me
00:26:51.930 --> 00:26:54.630
with the kindest words that maybe I've heard
00:26:54.630 --> 00:26:59.910
in my life. So yeah, amazing community. Not that
00:26:59.910 --> 00:27:03.490
I have much advice I can give. I fought for several
00:27:03.490 --> 00:27:07.390
years and grappled for over half my life. My
00:27:07.390 --> 00:27:09.690
one advice if you go to a gym and they're not
00:27:09.690 --> 00:27:12.250
welcoming like that not trying to encourage you
00:27:12.250 --> 00:27:13.769
that's probably it's honestly probably not a
00:27:13.769 --> 00:27:16.450
good gen because Almost every gym I've been to
00:27:16.450 --> 00:27:19.150
with guys that are world champions or super high
00:27:19.150 --> 00:27:21.609
level fighters You know, they're always the guys
00:27:21.609 --> 00:27:23.289
wanting to help and want to teach and want to
00:27:23.289 --> 00:27:27.069
encourage you and it's the guys that you know
00:27:27.069 --> 00:27:29.690
Have huge egos that never accomplish crap. Those
00:27:29.690 --> 00:27:31.730
are the guys that try to try to tell you you
00:27:31.730 --> 00:27:33.890
can't do that crap You can't do that your You
00:27:33.890 --> 00:27:35.710
know then try beating you up to make an example
00:27:35.710 --> 00:27:37.630
of you or whatever because you know They've been
00:27:37.630 --> 00:27:40.029
doing it longer. So that's my one piece of advice
00:27:40.029 --> 00:27:43.369
if I have any I can give you is If they're if
00:27:43.369 --> 00:27:44.990
it's a good gym, they're going to be welcoming
00:27:44.990 --> 00:27:46.710
if they're good fighters are going to be welcoming
00:27:46.710 --> 00:27:49.269
i'm not ran into one in my entire time of grappling
00:27:49.269 --> 00:27:53.410
that wasn't a Like when I moved to brazil for
00:27:53.410 --> 00:27:55.289
grappling, you know what I mean? Like they are
00:27:55.289 --> 00:27:56.930
all trying to speak english and all immediately
00:27:56.930 --> 00:27:58.630
trying to help me the best they could I knew
00:27:58.630 --> 00:28:00.589
I knew right then it was uh, that was the gym
00:28:00.589 --> 00:28:03.650
for me. So But that's, that's my advice. If I
00:28:03.650 --> 00:28:07.589
can get any. Amazing. Yeah. You know, the three
00:28:07.589 --> 00:28:09.609
of us are based in Oklahoma. I don't know if
00:28:09.609 --> 00:28:11.529
you know that, but our listeners will know that.
00:28:11.950 --> 00:28:13.890
And, you know, in Oklahoma, just north of where
00:28:13.890 --> 00:28:15.910
we live, Stillwater, Oklahoma state, it's a big
00:28:15.910 --> 00:28:17.869
wrestling community. It's a big wrestling state.
00:28:18.410 --> 00:28:21.430
I think most people would say wrestling is probably
00:28:21.430 --> 00:28:24.190
the best base to have in MMA. It kind of creates
00:28:24.190 --> 00:28:26.650
the best launching pad for everything else. You
00:28:26.650 --> 00:28:28.170
mentioned that you've done a little bit of wrestling
00:28:28.170 --> 00:28:29.829
work so far. Can you talk about that a little
00:28:29.829 --> 00:28:32.269
bit more? deep have you dived into the wrestling
00:28:32.269 --> 00:28:34.470
technique and, and, and what are your fundamentals
00:28:34.470 --> 00:28:37.450
there? Yes. So I was training at AMG in Miami
00:28:37.450 --> 00:28:40.089
and they had the national champion. Yeah. That's
00:28:40.089 --> 00:28:43.509
a national, I'll call his name for you, but that's
00:28:43.509 --> 00:28:45.710
the national champion there. And he was, he was
00:28:45.710 --> 00:28:48.430
actually showing me some interesting concepts
00:28:48.430 --> 00:28:51.009
because I was very surprised about how he was
00:28:51.009 --> 00:28:53.069
teaching wrestling. It was like flow, like breathe,
00:28:53.950 --> 00:28:55.910
like, like almost like be like water. And I thought
00:28:55.910 --> 00:28:58.450
wrestling was like. Like, like the earth element,
00:28:58.549 --> 00:29:01.509
like destroy, like grade through somebody. Um,
00:29:01.869 --> 00:29:05.230
so that was, that was incredibly inspiring really.
00:29:05.890 --> 00:29:07.990
So he, he was training me, I was training with
00:29:07.990 --> 00:29:09.930
the Saints brothers as well, like state champions.
00:29:10.349 --> 00:29:12.430
I was training with Michael Sains. He was the,
00:29:12.430 --> 00:29:15.670
he won the ATCC West Coast trials. And they were
00:29:15.670 --> 00:29:17.730
all showing me some of the best wrestling techniques
00:29:17.730 --> 00:29:21.309
they had, but they were very, they had a very
00:29:21.309 --> 00:29:24.519
heavy emphasis on you can't. They were saying
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:26.920
like, you can't just do wrestling because you're
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.519
going to get submitted. Like you have to be aware
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:32.519
of the submissions that can happen as you do
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.099
a takedown. Um, so to me, that was incredible
00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:38.839
because first of all, it wasn't just like headbutt
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:40.380
and like break your teeth, which is a lot of
00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:44.400
wrestling cultures. Um, like, but they were just,
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:46.279
they were almost like technicians. Like they
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:49.880
were just like smooth, make it perfect. Like
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.630
find the opening, be like water, right? So that
00:29:52.630 --> 00:29:55.069
made a massive difference. So they showed me
00:29:55.069 --> 00:29:58.569
three takedowns and I've done a few times due
00:29:58.569 --> 00:30:00.690
to grappling since. And of course the level there
00:30:00.690 --> 00:30:03.789
in wrestling is much less, but I could hit every
00:30:03.789 --> 00:30:06.589
takedown every single time, even on black belts.
00:30:07.730 --> 00:30:10.650
So it went pretty fast. Of course the different
00:30:10.650 --> 00:30:13.250
levels of black belt, right? Like it's not like
00:30:13.250 --> 00:30:16.289
a Royal Champion black belt. But a black belt
00:30:16.289 --> 00:30:19.140
nonetheless is still something... has been there,
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:20.680
so if you're taking them down, you're obviously
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.680
a step up in the game already, so obviously you're
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.740
making pretty solid progress quickly, it sounds
00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:29.380
like. Yeah, and so my trainers really, they make
00:30:29.380 --> 00:30:31.299
it simple for me, they save me a lot of time.
00:30:32.059 --> 00:30:34.099
I'm really fortunate as well about all the private
00:30:34.099 --> 00:30:35.960
lessons that I've gotten because we have cameras,
00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:38.460
and there's definitely an extra element that
00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:41.160
adds to it, but also with XMM Mexico, it really
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.779
almost kills the entire thing, so it's good and
00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:47.130
bad at the same time. You know, now I want to,
00:30:47.130 --> 00:30:48.829
I want to stress for, before I ask this question,
00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:52.289
I'm not asking you what your best area is. I
00:30:52.289 --> 00:30:53.750
don't want you to give any secrets. I don't want
00:30:53.750 --> 00:30:55.109
you to give anything out there that could be
00:30:55.109 --> 00:30:57.390
used against you in the future, but diving into
00:30:57.390 --> 00:30:58.930
the different techniques and kind of looking
00:30:58.930 --> 00:31:01.869
at them so far, what is the one that you kind
00:31:01.869 --> 00:31:04.829
of feel the best in? Like, do you connect with
00:31:04.829 --> 00:31:10.069
the best individually? I actually have like,
00:31:10.130 --> 00:31:12.269
like you're seeing it actually on Instagram right
00:31:12.269 --> 00:31:15.380
now. And I used that one for the last. three
00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:17.299
months without knowing it was a technique. So,
00:31:17.339 --> 00:31:20.299
uh, you know, when you, how do you describe it
00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:22.839
in the best way? If my right leg hits your right
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:24.720
leg and I do like a barembolo on the grounds,
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:26.819
when I'm in mounts, for example, and then I take
00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:29.059
your back with that, you can hit that one from
00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:31.299
a takedown. So it's like a double leg combination,
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:34.099
but you, you, you just hook the leg. And in judo,
00:31:34.180 --> 00:31:35.859
it has like a different name as well, where you've
00:31:35.859 --> 00:31:37.839
got like hooked, uh, where you put your arm over
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:39.559
their legs. So it's just like your whole body
00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:42.420
goes on one leg. Um, and they will fall, but
00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:44.509
they can take your back. from that position.
00:31:44.609 --> 00:31:47.490
So you have to roll through to make the technique
00:31:47.490 --> 00:31:50.309
successful in, in grappling. Um, and I've hit
00:31:50.309 --> 00:31:53.210
that one on, on like the highest level guy was
00:31:53.210 --> 00:31:57.430
a European. He was the number two in European
00:31:57.430 --> 00:31:59.589
wrestling. Oh, he's older now. He's like, he's
00:31:59.589 --> 00:32:02.950
like 45, but I hit that one on him. Um, you just
00:32:02.950 --> 00:32:05.470
dive on it. Like you just, it's almost like you,
00:32:05.549 --> 00:32:07.589
you just hug that leg with, with your right leg
00:32:07.589 --> 00:32:10.430
on their right leg. You hug it with your leg
00:32:10.430 --> 00:32:12.210
goes around their leg and it's very difficult
00:32:12.210 --> 00:32:13.960
for them to do anything. Like, they can only
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:16.180
really take your back, but if I put my whole
00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:18.279
body weight on that one leg, like, you're gonna
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:20.759
fall. Like, it's very tough to keep standing.
00:32:21.779 --> 00:32:23.359
You mentioned that you had a soccer background
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:24.940
when you played soccer. I think you said since
00:32:24.940 --> 00:32:27.200
the age of five. Based on what you're telling
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:29.200
me now, I'm gonna assume you're a pretty athletic
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.759
individual. Yeah, I'm pretty explosive, pretty
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.079
fast. Yeah. It's hard to compare to other people
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.839
because I... Like, for example, we did a test
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:39.680
just to... We wanted to make a video about this,
00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:41.960
but I never did it because... We wanted to see
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:44.799
if I could sprint 100 meters under 12 seconds,
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.059
right? The world record is like 9 .58, so that's
00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:49.599
still very slow compared to them. But under 12
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.119
seconds is like a good athlete level. So I wanted
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:56.420
to work my way up and train to that level, but
00:32:56.420 --> 00:32:59.500
on my first attempt bare feet, I already hit
00:32:59.500 --> 00:33:02.680
that, so it was like 11 .8 or so. So I think
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:07.000
I rode it. Yeah. Look at you, man. Hell yeah.
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.089
Also. soccer background, I'm sure you kick probably
00:33:10.089 --> 00:33:14.269
pretty hard. That is one thing that my shins
00:33:14.269 --> 00:33:16.130
are pretty solid. Like it's not Muay Thai solid,
00:33:16.430 --> 00:33:19.869
but I even in soccer itself, I knew that my shins
00:33:19.869 --> 00:33:22.589
were harder than other people. Like one of my
00:33:22.589 --> 00:33:24.130
girlfriends, we used to call like razel shins.
00:33:24.190 --> 00:33:26.490
Like she wouldn't like to cuddle me in one certain
00:33:26.490 --> 00:33:28.029
position because like my shins would just feel
00:33:28.029 --> 00:33:31.430
like razels on my body. She would get so pissed
00:33:31.430 --> 00:33:33.809
and she would touch me. Don't touch me to razel
00:33:33.809 --> 00:33:37.049
shins, right? So I always felt like I had strong.
00:33:37.690 --> 00:33:40.089
40 to my legs and all people I don't know about
00:33:40.089 --> 00:33:42.009
the upper body because I think that's pretty
00:33:42.009 --> 00:33:44.869
more neglected just because soccer is mostly
00:33:44.869 --> 00:33:47.970
Legs in a sense is less physicality in that sense.
00:33:48.269 --> 00:33:50.650
But yeah, I do feel my lower body I think with
00:33:50.650 --> 00:33:53.390
the kicks that that won't that will help can
00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:57.150
you feel like there's been a a Transition a learning
00:33:57.150 --> 00:33:59.730
curve in learning to work with your hands boxing
00:33:59.730 --> 00:34:03.269
things to that nature Yeah, if I break it down,
00:34:03.269 --> 00:34:05.670
I'm definitely most naturally skilled in jujitsu
00:34:06.589 --> 00:34:09.469
from what I can see in a short period of time.
00:34:10.130 --> 00:34:12.650
Then I would say the little bit of moita that
00:34:12.650 --> 00:34:15.750
I've done with kicking, I feel I have a lot more
00:34:15.750 --> 00:34:18.829
accuracy in my legs than other people just because
00:34:18.829 --> 00:34:22.949
soccer. Because we were used to hitting a ball
00:34:22.949 --> 00:34:25.750
from any angle. And the Netherlands is a big
00:34:25.750 --> 00:34:28.090
soccer country, so it's decently high level.
00:34:29.530 --> 00:34:32.429
So probably moita and gg2 will be my strongest
00:34:32.429 --> 00:34:34.760
base. And then I really want to double down on
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:37.480
wrestling because it's just so important. And
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.099
that boxing is the one that I'm actually most
00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:41.239
scared of. Not even Muay Thai. Like boxing is
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.619
the one I'm most scared of. You're most scared
00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:48.340
of boxing? Yeah. That's funny. You say that was
00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:49.880
me too. I'm too pretty to get punched in the
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.360
face is what I always said, but what about it?
00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:55.500
What about it is what kind of scares you about
00:34:55.500 --> 00:34:58.380
boxing? It's and getting punched in the face,
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:03.099
but it's also I, I think I'm I don't like punching
00:35:03.099 --> 00:35:05.260
somebody else in my face. So we were in Virgil,
00:35:05.380 --> 00:35:06.980
New York, training with this guy, Bobby. He was
00:35:06.980 --> 00:35:08.920
a five time Golden Gloves champion. He's known
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:11.800
to be evasive. Like it's very tough to hit him.
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:13.900
I tried it. Like I couldn't, couldn't touch him.
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.440
Uh, like all out, like I couldn't touch him.
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:18.199
Like it was just so evasive. And of course I'm
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:20.219
not skilled, right. But he could do that apparently
00:35:20.219 --> 00:35:24.159
with pro fighters with anybody. And we were doing
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:26.840
a drill where we were just doing a jab and a
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.260
cross and the other person was defending. So
00:35:29.260 --> 00:35:30.619
one person was parrying and the other person
00:35:30.619 --> 00:35:34.010
was just. jabbing and crossing and we had just
00:35:34.010 --> 00:35:37.190
spent an hour working on my jab on my cross and
00:35:37.190 --> 00:35:40.130
they were looking from what I heard really really
00:35:40.130 --> 00:35:42.610
good like very good like the camera people like
00:35:42.610 --> 00:35:45.449
like they were very happy with what was happening
00:35:45.449 --> 00:35:48.250
a lot of power like a lot of speeds like pull
00:35:48.250 --> 00:35:50.449
the bag as quickly as I could and then we were
00:35:50.449 --> 00:35:53.849
doing these sparring drills and like Bobby keeps
00:35:53.849 --> 00:35:55.630
shaking his head he's like what the hell are
00:35:55.630 --> 00:35:57.510
you doing like like why are you hitting him like
00:35:57.510 --> 00:35:59.980
that like a girl but not even in a bad way to
00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:01.860
girls. He's like, why are you hitting them like
00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:03.880
that? I'm like, what? I'm trying like everything
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:05.739
I can. He's like, no, look how hard you're breathing.
00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:08.900
Like we did an hour long of just jabbing and
00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:10.420
straights without any breaks and you weren't
00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:12.579
breathing heavy at all. And now you're doing
00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:16.179
this, this, this two minutes and you haven't
00:36:16.179 --> 00:36:18.260
hit him once. Like I can see you tensing all
00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:20.880
the punches. Like, like this is horrible. And
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.179
on the camera, you can see it. Like I was basically
00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:25.260
looking back, I thought I was maybe doing like
00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:27.929
70, 80 % of my power. But probably like in terms
00:36:27.929 --> 00:36:29.329
of what I actually had, I was doing like 10,
00:36:29.409 --> 00:36:32.150
15 percent. I was so terrified of hitting another
00:36:32.150 --> 00:36:34.510
person in the face because I wanted to be respectful.
00:36:34.530 --> 00:36:37.030
I'm in a different gym. I'm trying to try to
00:36:37.030 --> 00:36:39.630
be kind to them. So all these things, right?
00:36:39.690 --> 00:36:41.550
But I'm going against a, I think it was a pro
00:36:41.550 --> 00:36:44.909
vital, pro boxer, right? So eventually he's like,
00:36:44.909 --> 00:36:47.610
stop. He's like, hit me in the face. Like I won't
00:36:47.610 --> 00:36:50.889
even move my, hit me in the face. Like for fuck's
00:36:50.889 --> 00:36:55.559
sake, come on. So like, okay, like, yeah, like
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.559
maybe like 30%, but he's like, okay, better.
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.860
Right. Now go. Right. So that I definitely have
00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:03.260
to get over the thing of like hurting the other
00:37:03.260 --> 00:37:05.820
person. Cause with Jiu Jitsu, I can control another
00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:07.179
person. I don't have to hurt them. Like they
00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:09.619
can just tap, but I feel like with boxing, like
00:37:09.619 --> 00:37:11.780
I do think I have enough power to knock somebody
00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:14.239
out. Um, I've actually always felt that like,
00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:16.099
and back when I was younger, it was delusional,
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:17.440
but I did feel like on that, there's a little
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.170
punching bag. I could always hit one of the hardest
00:37:22.170 --> 00:37:25.030
if not the hardest out of all my friends. I was
00:37:25.030 --> 00:37:27.789
always concerned with hurting somebody because
00:37:27.789 --> 00:37:30.030
I was like, what if I knocked him out? What if
00:37:30.030 --> 00:37:33.289
I go to jail? What if he doesn't wake up? I have
00:37:33.289 --> 00:37:36.530
some deep rooted beliefs about it. It's paradoxical.
00:37:36.650 --> 00:37:38.670
Maybe I have a lot of power in my hands, but
00:37:38.670 --> 00:37:43.510
I don't want to hurt the other person. That's
00:37:43.510 --> 00:37:46.519
the one I'm overcoming. One of my favorite parts
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:48.340
of this entire process that you're putting out
00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:50.380
there is the fact that you're doing it specifically
00:37:50.380 --> 00:37:53.500
to show your son That you can do things that
00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:56.639
are that are hard that are impossible How so
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.000
far has your son reacted to the process of going
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.300
through this and like has he seen your growth?
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:04.360
Does he just speak about that? I mean, he's turning
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:06.380
three. So he doesn't know that much about it
00:38:06.380 --> 00:38:09.179
yet. He's young young Okay, all right. I've got
00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:11.519
a five -year -old son who would be just enamored
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:13.019
with everything that you're doing right now He
00:38:13.019 --> 00:38:15.570
would love it. So Yeah, the difference between
00:38:15.570 --> 00:38:19.090
3 and 5 is massive. He's almost 3, but that difference
00:38:19.090 --> 00:38:21.829
will be massive. So I can't wait for him to see
00:38:21.829 --> 00:38:25.190
it 3D. We'll wrap up. Is there anything else
00:38:25.190 --> 00:38:27.829
you want to let us know, talk about your documentary
00:38:27.829 --> 00:38:29.150
coming up that you want to let the fans know
00:38:29.150 --> 00:38:32.989
about? No, I mean, if you want to learn anything
00:38:32.989 --> 00:38:35.170
else about me, I wouldn't go to my social media
00:38:35.170 --> 00:38:36.510
right away. We're still building that. That will
00:38:36.510 --> 00:38:38.489
be like one to three months out before something
00:38:38.489 --> 00:38:41.309
good will be published. But impossible documentary,
