Yeah.

And Israel must have liked you because he flew you to some of his UFC fights in the US as a pre-fight sort of training partner.

What did that trip, if anything, teach you about professionalism and success?

What's an after party, a UFC after party with Israel Adesanya like?

Yeah, you said something before that stuck with me like about 10 minutes ago.

You said, oh, you were never going to go overseas or go on a holiday or something until you made it.

Yeah.

What has made it for you?

So 10 years now of chasing the stream.

Um, what's the, like the profit and loss column?

Like how much money have you made much money?

It must be the worst hourly rate ever at this point.

Oh, good on you.

Is it, is it public knowledge or is it confidential how much you get for the Seattle fight?

Um, a lot of fighters bitch about the UFC though and how they, how they structure the pay.

Seems like you're doing okay.

When I had your teammate, the Balkan Bear, Brenda Pericic on, he's talked about sleeping in a Toyota Yaris and living in a room at the back of the gym.

Part of me wondered if Brando just loved the suffering, loved sharing with the hoes and sitting in a cafe.

This relentless optimism of yours, have you always been wired that way?

Is that something in your DNA or is that something you had to work for?
