I think it was more good than bad. I know some people say ring rust or this and that, and I'm like, nah. I felt good in there. I felt good in there. And it was only when I watched the fight back, I saw a couple of mistakes I made, even on the feet, where I was like, ooh, don't do that again. Just with my feet work, my exits. Even David said, you had sloppy exits. I was like, yeah, my bad.
But, yeah, that and then the moment at the end when I slipped and just the lapse in judgment when I was just letting him know it was me tripping. Those kind of moments, maybe if I was as active, it wouldn't have happened, but who knows? We'll never know. But I am happy with how I performed. I was happy with the shape I came in. I came in really good shape. And what's his name? Bill, this guy.
He did the numbers for me. He said this is the most active I've been in any fight by far in my UFC career. He crunched the numbers up and said my strike per minute rate or whatever. All you nerds figure it out. You can do your own. But, yeah, Bill Smart, he's this guy who, Helps me now with my strength. He did the numbers and said, this is the most active you were.
So we can do some things different. Put a little bit more gas in the tank, things like that, and then just stay active like that. It was good. And I had fun in there. I had fun just exchanging. Yeah.
BJ Penn's coaches.
Yeah. I think the best I saw BJ from watching him, especially live. he was training with them. UFC 107, I think Diego Sanchez, he looked like a demon.
Even in shape, like he was fucking abs and all that. I agree, definitely. You can always sharpen the tools, you know, keep it sharp. But again, for when you're in a camp, it's just about getting fit. And yeah, there's some things we can tweak so that way we can keep that output because when you get Fatigue is when you lose your laps in judgment. Your reflexes as well.
Things like that just start to go down.
I don't think so. There was one point in the third round when me and him, we really put it on. And we kind of had this low-key agreement. Like, okay, you're fucked. I'm fucked. Let's chill for a little bit. And then I think round four I came out like, cool, bam, bam, bam, and I did that sprawl on him. But again, he's so stubborn because I sprawled on him.
I literally, he shot, I sprawled, and my hips hit the back of his head into the mat. Might have rocked him, I don't know. And then, what's his name, Mark Goddard's like, get up, and he's on one knee. And then when he was like, get up,
and he finally decided to get up slowly and i tried to attack him he just threw but not to try and hit me he just threw just to stop my momentum you know stop me from coming at him and yeah he's a guy that just strong will strong will like yeah i can respect that physically strong too yeah not as strong as i thought it would be probably because i felt strong as well like i packed on some some muscle for that fight preparing for those kind of grueling exchanges
Yeah, but even just for me myself, I just wanted to feel strong. So me and my boy AB, we put on some muscle for that fight, and then having Matt actually making good food for me for the first time ever, because I got this far off just whatever I wanted to eat. You know, Uri eats.
Yeah.
But honestly, for me, Having those kind of, because I'm not 23 anymore, 24. My body doesn't metabolize food the way it used to, so I have to think about it like Israel. Be smart. Understand your body's getting older. I don't feel old, though. That's the thing. When I was young, I thought, 34, I'm done with this game. Then I'm like, I'm old. But that was when I was 24.
But now that I'm here, I'm like... I can still squeeze a lot out of this. I can still squeeze a lot out of this. So we are. Have you ever used a hyperbaric chamber? Nah, not yet. I don't know if we have that in Auckland.
Is telomeres like the DNA strand or something?
It's the bit at the ends, right?
I've been seeing that lately.
Like Bieber, the Kardashians getting them.
Okay. Is it USADA approved or is it one of them?
