And I feel like with a guy like Tom, I think I look at him as like a guy like Taha Akul.

You know, he's on top.

He's the leader.

You know, he's still fresh.

But I think there's another hungry guy that's going to come.

And hopefully it's me that's going to come and go out there and do what I need to do.

neck surgery so he's having surgery on both eyes you know it's really messed up but I think the way the post fight interview went because I like to look at how people approach the world also too and he was just upset how the people were reacting you know saying why the fuck are you booing why are you doing this I mean there could have been a great approach to that of him saying man you know

I got my eye poked, but I'm going to come back stronger from this.

He does it all the time.

Yeah.

I mean, even if he would have took the points from him, he still would have won.

It's not hard to design.

If it was a mitt and I'm on top and I grab wrist control, do you think the leather of the mitt sticks harder?

True.

No, you're right.

A really good thing I wanted to ask you is for someone new coming in to a sport that a lot of people know, how do you think they should bridge the popularity gap?

of the sport and also the real life of who the person is.

I might be saying this in a hard way for the answer.

No, I know what you're saying.

Like, how do you think they should... Because, you know, I've been around a lot of people, but, you know, it always gets bigger and always gets bigger.
