Brendan Allen

So it's like I prefer that.

But my dad is like mean, man.

Like he's different.

Like he was in the military and he boxed when he was overseas for like 75 bucks because he'd send all his money home to us.

So it's like –

like i don't know like people don't know i'm raised i come from something like that's what i feel like when i fight like i'm different like i i honestly i uh i was telling myself that in the marvin fight in between rounds like going into the third because my dad and my brother were both there in attendance for the first time like my brother hadn't been in any of my fights since probably my second pro fight because of his injury and uh so like my i watched my buddy costello fight uh for the pfl

belt and he said after the fight like he said word for word he's like I was um I was raised by a warrior he raised two warriors I'm a fucking warrior and he's like that's that's what I told myself and so like that stuck in my head till the fight like till my fight so like in the third round like everyone was like oh he falls off in the third and that was something like my corner was because that was my first time in Chicago so like Horacio looked at me in between rounds and he was like hey

Let's go.

Let's restart it.

He said something else.

And I was like, I'm good.

Just get out of the way.

It's kind of one of those moments where it's like you're living in the moment, but I don't know.

When I say, I had coaches.

But you didn't have a main coach.

Yes, sir, exactly.

It's been one of the best changes that I have because I ain't going to lie.

I'm not the easiest person to deal with.

I like to be very in control of things that I can control.

And I know myself.
