I think it's a healthy ego. I just knew I have to really humble myself so I can learn how to fight these guys at their own game. So yeah, that's why.
Yeah. They just did the one in Denver for 1FC recently. Went well. And the fights are crazy.
A lot of knockdowns. A lot of action-packed stuff. But if it was just marketed the right way, with the UFC's marketing machine, easily, easily, it would be one of the biggest leagues.
You get that in slap fighting.
You know, John Way passed out of that. I think he did.
I watched both fights with Brad Riddell, I think. No, the first one with Brad Riddell. The second one, sorry. That was the one I watched at cage fighting.
great fight crazy fight even though john lost he just showed me who he is but yeah i think he did start cage muay thai yes that was his thing i think it was his thing he should have fucking trademarked that shit yeah well muay thai with little gloves is different too right because you know there's blocks you can't use you're just shielding like a dutch style i remember with the big gloves i always talked about it as well i always felt my striking was better framing me
I always felt it was better for MMA because I was like, nah, if you can just do this, that's, yeah, you just block whatever hit. It's just who's tough, who's tougher. But with the small gloves, you can get around the guard. The hand traps are different. So I always just felt like, yeah, my striking would excel better in MMA. I wasn't as, not I'm tough, but I wasn't as just like...
Tough for no reason. Yeah. Thank you. Like, I like to use my brain.
So I was just tough for no reason. Like, boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay, hit you, hit me, hit me, hit you, hit you. Yeah. That's not my style. I always felt I was slicker, the way I moved, the way I set traps. And that's why I like MMA striking better.
Ernesto Hoost, yeah.
I think it's his culture. Is that what it is? Yeah, I think it's the culture of the stock. I've seen some of the gym spas.
yeah zero dollars like what do you get paid in glory what are the best fighters get paid in glory like what was like uh i wasn't getting paid that much what does rico verhoeven get paid to defend his heavyweight title i think he probably gets more than most he's still in glory right yeah okay yeah yeah i kind of fell off them after they robbed me off the fucking belt i was just like yeah whatever okay yeah oh the jason wellness fight yeah yeah i thought you won that fight too
Yeah, I know. It's one of those things. Look, I'm glad things happen the way they have in my career because it always gives me an opportunity to come back or rise again and showcase my spirit, my fighting spirit, not just in the cage, but as a human being. So all the things that have happened to me in my career when it comes to losses or setbacks, I just go, cool. let's see what I can do next.
Yeah, like even, look, the DDP fight, Strickland fight, what's another one? Well, Pereira got that back. Yanwan, I feel like that was a side quest. I'm just kind of like, man, that's cool. And I never hold on to them. I never hold on like, I need to get this. It's like, nah, this is fine. Like the Alex one, I was cool if that never happened.
But then he decided to chase me, and I was like, cool, let's do it.
I think he's already in his 40s, early 40s.
He was. I'm trying to think.
Yeah, maybe because he doesn't make as much noise because I don't really see him on there as much anymore.
Okay, he's hurt right now.
