And they're scary, hard dudes, man.

Which is really interesting to see this influx of guys from Russia, Dagestan, Chechnya, some of these guys that are making their way into the UFC now.

These are fucking hard dudes, man.

You know, it's really interesting.

I think another thing that's really cool about it is when someone is elite, no one cares what country they're from.

They just love that guy.

It's like if Adesanya gets in there, no one cares he's from New Zealand.

Everybody gets pumped.

If Pereira gets in there, it's Alex Pereira's fighting.

You don't say, USA.

No, they're just fucking psyched to see Alex Pereira.

So it's really great in that regard that you can become a true international superstar and you're embraced essentially by all the nations.

Think about the Russians that are over here.

No one cares.

No one's like, oh, Russians, fuck you.

They're like, oh, that guy's badass.

If I went over to Russia, I'd be like fucking super worried they'd poison my food.

You know, like some crazy Russian, like, fuck him, fuck this guy, you know, and fucking throw something in your tea.

Who knows?

You know, like, they're fucking, they're hardcore.
