Yeah, but there was no money. I remember I got offered $500 to do a kickboxing fight. So if I did that kickboxing fight, I couldn't fight amateur anymore. And I was like, $500. So then I can't... Like, if I ever decided to try to compete in the Olympics again, because I was trying to get on the national team to compete in the Olympics. But somewhere along the line...

I got a little disenchanted with Taekwondo, and one of the ways that it happened is I started kickboxing, and I started getting beat up because my hands were dog shit. So I was really good kicking, but if I got into boxing exchanges, I was terrible. My chin was up in the air. I was fucking swinging punches like a bitch. It was awful. I could hit really hard.

If I hit you, you're in trouble, but it was not good. And so I realized, oh, there's a giant flaw in this for actual real fights. There's a giant flaw in this. And as soon as I started kickboxing, particularly this friend of mine who was a really good boxer, Dana Rosenblatt, he was one of my training partners, and he became New England middleweight champion. He beat Vinny Pazienza in a decision.

He lost him one fight and then beat him in a decision. He was legit. He knocked out Howard Davis Jr., who was an Olympic gold medalist. He was a bad motherfucker. And he also, when I was training with him, made me realize that I didn't really want to do this anymore. That I was just doing this because I had done it my whole life. And this was like what I decided I was doing.

And I was like, not only is there no future in this, there's a lot of brain damage coming my way. Like 100%. I'm getting it right now. And, you know, just sparring with Dana, me and him sparring. I don't know how many times we sparred, but we would beat the fuck out of each other, dude. Damn, really? Yeah. Oh, it was horrible. Yeah, I'd go home with headaches.

And if we were in boxing range, he was tuning me up. So I was always trying to stay on the outside because his hands were way better than mine. But we cracked each other. You and Dana White would fight? No, no, no, no. My friend Dana Rose would fight. Okay, I was like, I heard Dana and I was like. But if me and Dana were friends, we would do that too. I sparred with a lot of my friends.
