Brad will do it.
A lot of people. It's funny how tough it is for a lot of people. In the beginning, when you first start, but then it becomes an absolute addiction, like You gotta know somebody that can't start their day without coffee, right? I can't start my day without cold plunge. And if I do, I feel like shit. And as soon as I land anywhere, I go right to a cold plunge. I'm flying from here to Austin.
I'll have a cold plunge in Austin.
It's legit. I'm going to point out, no matter where I go, it could be 35 degrees. It could be 50 degrees. It doesn't bother me at all. I can do any temperature.
Yeah, I love it.
Oh, man. I mean, there's been some I've been doing this for I've been in the business for 30 years. I've been doing this for like 25 years. But there's there's so many crazy stories. I mean, this business, the behind the scenes is is where all the crazy shit happens and negotiations and interactions with these guys fight night backstage, you know, when when crazy shit happens and
I don't know if there's any one crazy thing that stands out in my mind other than like the Connor situation in New York when he attacked the bus that Habib and those guys were on. Probably the craziest thing that's ever happened. And a couple of Diaz brothers incidents, which we've, which are all public. I mean, they fought and then they got to the hospital.
They went to the same hospital and they ended up fighting in the hospital. Which is probably the craziest story in the history of the sport, let alone, you know, the UFC.
When the company was younger, yes. When we were building the company, you know, I had these relationships with the guys and girls, too. I mean, me and Ronda Rousey, yeah, it was different then than it is now that it's so much bigger. But the answer was yes. It was very much like that in the early days.
My sons or my daughter. If that's what they wanted to do, I always tell, you know, I'm not one of these guys like, oh, I want my kids to be a doctor or a lawyer or any of this shit. I just want my kids to be happy. Right. And you know better than anybody, whatever gets you up in the morning, whatever makes you happy, it could be pumping gas. I could give a shit.
Whatever makes you happy is what I want you to do. And if it was fighting, I would absolutely support it.
it's a great question it's just something inside us as human beings we get fighting and we like it and we are fascinated by who the toughest person in the world is we are all drawn to it and i mean if you think of tyson and his peak when that guy would walk into a room the whole place would go holy shit there's mike tyson no other sport has that you know you'd be excited oh there's
Michael Jordan or whoever. But when one of those guys walk in the room and they're looked at as the baddest human being on the planet, men, women, everybody is just drawn to it.
What was fascinating about other sports is even those other athletes look up to the Tyson-like guys. You're right.
Sport? No, no, no. I like all types of fighting. I mean, I'm doing fucking slapping now. I like it all. If somebody's hitting somebody else, I'm in.
It's the most successful thing I've ever been a part of in such a short amount of time.
It's crazy. That's crazy. It's crazy. And, you know, it's incredibly viral. So, I mean, the numbers that this thing pulls on social media is insane.
Apparently.
No, 100% because of the reality show. Oh, wow. At the time, we couldn't get on television. The UFC now, I try to tell this story. It's hard to explain. But this thing was so, I mean, it was illegal in some places. That's how bad it was. Think about this. As a grown adult, you didn't have the right to buy it on pay-per-view. Porn was on pay-per-view.
The UFC was not allowed on pay-per-view.
