After The Ultimate Fighter. Once we got The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV and it blew up and did massive numbers, then we got back on pay-per-view and that's how the business really got rolling.
I literally just filmed it yesterday. Yesterday was the last shooting day for the 20th. It's the 20th anniversary.
Yeah, 20 years the show's been on.
Thanks.
To stay on for 20 years. To stay on for 20 years.
And you have YouTube now and social media and all these disruptors. And, you know, linear television is dying.
Yeah, we hoped it would. We always felt like if we could get this on free television, then the rest of the world would see it for what we saw in it. And we thought it would be very popular. And I always believed that this would work everywhere all around the world. So when you talk about, I used to have this, when I grew up, there was Channel 3, Channel 5, Channel 8, and Channel 13.
Then in high school, cable came, it was like 33 channels, then satellite. But I always believed that there would be a day where everybody around the world would be able to watch the same channel. At the same time, you know, and now that's happening. So I believe that in the next, you know, six, seven, 10 years, there will be a channel three, channel five, channel eight and channel 13 globally.
Who's it going to be? It's going to be Amazon, YouTube, Disney. You know, we'll see how that plays out. But when you think about what I've told you about fighting, what's the ceiling on this business? Right. Eight billion people. There's eight billion people in the world.
Right. Everything in life is about timing. We knew we had the right product, the right people that were involved, but was the timing right for it?
Um, well, I, I, I literally don't get involved in anything that I don't believe. Yeah. And, and you know what I mean? I don't get paid to do shit anymore except work UFC shift. You know, you couldn't pay me to promote this, this book or, or, or whatever. I wouldn't do it. I'd only get involved in things that I truly believe in and that I'm really passionate about.
True.
I agree 100 percent.
that when they talk about canceling people, like getting canceled, it's always fascinating to me because who cancels you? Like you live in a cul-de-sac with your entire family, right? That's all you give a shit about. Who's gonna cancel you? Some other assholes that you could give a shit about that don't like you are going to say whatever. I mean, you have a core of people that are in your life.
Those are the only people that can cancel you. Right?
Who gives a shit what everybody else thinks or what their opinions are?
It's so true.
and anybody else that doesn't like something you did or said or how you lived your life or whatever your deal is. Yeah, you can only be canceled if you allow people that you don't give a shit about to cancel you. You have a core or a group of people that you care about that you interact with every day that are your people, right? I mean, if they cancel you, that's a whole nother story.
Who gives a shit what everybody else thinks?
Yeah, there's a couple. You know, there's a couple that stand out in my mind. It's funny, this full circle moment happened to me. Have you ever heard of the movie Vision Quest?
