Yeah, 100%, right? Because it was the hardest thing. It was the longest process for me to even get the title shot. Yeah, you had the longest road, for sure. Bro, I was on a 7-5 winning streak. Oh, well, all right, now here goes 15-0 Sean Brady. You're like, bro, okay, 8-5 winning streak. Oh, well. you still need one more.

And then I was like, okay, well, here goes Gilbert Brent on three weeks notice. If you win this for sure, you'll get it. And then you're like, well, all right, well, I got to say yes. And then you go out there, you beat him. And then it was like, maybe you got to do one more. And you're like, bro, come on. What else do I got to do? Like, what else do you need? Is there something you got against me?

Is there this or that? But at the end of the day, they stuck to their word, right? They gave me the shot. It was, I think, the perfect moment for me because it was in Leon's country. We had a fight at 5 a.m. We had to go all the way out there. The first time I fought him was in the Apex. There was nobody there. It was a short-notice fight. So this time was the biggest stage.

It was meant to happen like this. I was the underdog. The morning of the fight was like a sense of relief, right? Because it was here. We didn't have to wait no more. There was nothing else. I think it was like the least stress I ever felt before a fight. And then once I got the belt wrapped around my waist, it was more so like we did it. They didn't believe in us.

They didn't think we could do it. Even after my Gilbert Burns fight, I saw Dana in the back and he was like, man, they keep doubting you, but you keep winning. And then it was kind of like that same feeling after this fight, man. Nobody believed it, but you did it. And then we're going to keep doing that, I think.

So it just makes me want to just keep showing them and keep proving them the doubters and the haters wrong.

That means they'll ask me what my body feels like. For me, it was like... Being the champion now, I was like, let's do a quick turnaround. When do you guys want it? And then they called me for the Shafkat fight last December. We had the infection, so messed up those plans. So with this one, I was expecting it to be Shafkat. And then they were like, well, he's out.

It was either between JDM and Buckley. And then for me, it was like, I don't really care who it is, which one it is. Just let me know the date. And they gave me the date. And then it was Buckley. Then they were like, well, it's going to be JDM. So for me, I'm like, all right, I'm down. So as long as I had the date, the time, as long as I had the right camp, I'm good with it.
