Yeah, you got the best seat in the house.

I'm getting older, you know, so I try to have a little bit more wisdom.

So after, like, I lost to Fluffy, I was like... I went back and watched the fight, like, six times, and I'm like... I really don't see how I lost on a decision.

Like, I can see, like, your point if you use this frame of mind, but based on the unified rules at the time...

How?

So I, dude, I reached out to like a lot of people that I knew that are like in the high up in commissions.

And like, I had really deep talks with them about it.

Like explain my perspective, listen to theirs, the rules.

And literally it came down to, it's your interpretation.

It's your interpretation of the rules.

And it was like, it came down to, is his effective grappling, even if they're holding, they're still, you know, whatever.

Does it outweigh me almost knocking you out

and me putting a cut all the way to your skull on your face and you holding me which one outweighs what that's how i explained it to him and they were like oh but he just had more time i said and look don't get me wrong i love fluffy i think he's a great human being i really do i've known him we fought twice already and um he's beat me both times both decisions you know and um but i don't think i lost the last one i still stay i'll still die on that hill what was a very good fight

it's part of the sport if it's boring it's boring you know we talked about it after the fight like after the fight like i went in the back and i was frustrated at my at myself really to be honest i was super frustrated myself well first it was i was like fuck they just let him fucking hold the whole time like in the third i literally almost knock him out like i'm talking shit right and uh uh robbie looks at me robbie lawler and he goes should have just got up then i went

You're right.

And from there, I was like, all right.

Yeah.

But then I found out after, like, one of Fluffy's coaches is – he used to be in the commission, like, so he knows the –

They explained his pedigree or whatever.

And he's very, very, very knowledgeable about what the rules are and all these things.
