In general, camps, you get so injured in camps. It's like the hardest thing. Even if a fight's quick, people don't realize that I just had an eight-week camp of nonstop training. You get more injuries in training camp than you do in the fight.

Um, it's funny. I was, uh, I was in Australia and I was fighting Tim Beans and then me and my coach were in the back warming up. And then, uh, we ended up going like knee to knee in the back during the warmup. And, like, I couldn't put my knee down to the ground after that. And it was, like, before the fight. So I was like, what the heck? I thought we just clashed knees. So it was, like, sore.

So, like, even in the fight, it just felt weird. So then after the fight, we went. And I still couldn't put my knee down to the floor for, like, two or three weeks. And then I ended up tearing my – it was a torn meniscus. Oh, wow. Yeah. But, like – Right before the fight. Right before the fight. We just, like, clashed knee to knee.

And it's – like you said, it's so much random stuff that could happen to you. Yeah. Because I like to spar in the back before my fights. Really? I like to feel it. So I'll have them put the shin guards on, headgear, and I'm throwing a lot harder than them. But I want to feel that so I can feel the distance. So I want to go out to the fight like it's my third or fourth round. Right.

So I want to go out to the fight like it's my third or fourth round. Right.

Because I usually start slow when I'm at practice. But in the fight, I want it to be going right away. And I have cardio for it. So I want to feel like it's the third round already when I go out there.

Yeah. Some guys like to hit mitts. But for me, I like to spar. So I have my training partner come down there with me. And then you got to have a controlled guy that's not going to hurt you. But, yeah, we just go in the back. We throw. Wow. Yeah, we're throwing. So he'll have big gloves on. And, like, I get to the point where I hit me because I want to feel it.

So even in this fight with Leon, he threw, like – 50 kicks at me hard at the back. So I wanted to go out there like, all right, my arms feel it, my legs feel it. And my body's already gonna adjust to it. Yeah. That's so risky. It's risky. But I'm like, I'm about to go in a fight anyway. And once you get that adrenaline,

like you don't really feel nothing and I'll feel it afterward but like the biggest risk is just a headbutt or like catching your blood or something like that so that's why I make him wear a headgear and you know like I said you have to have the perfect training partner for it where he's gonna throw the right stuff at you he's there for you yeah he's not really sparring he's there for you yeah if I tell you hit me right here hard he'll hit me here hard but it's not like we're not gonna just sit there and bang in the back right wow who else does it that way
