That's why I say when I'm done, I'm done. And I know that feeling. I talked to, even with Jason Miller about it as well, because we, the little thing in LA, but that feeling when you're backstage, you've done the last fucking warmup or whatever, and then it's, you know, Yo, going on in five minutes, five minutes. And then, you know, two minutes. And then they're counting down. Okay, it's rope.
Time to go. Cool. You walk out, stand here, wait on your mark. And then it's like, we're going on in 60 seconds. And they're waiting there. And then everyone's behind you, your coaches. And you turn around. You might give like a little fist bump, something. And then you get out there. You get through the tunnel. You get the fucking wave. You see everything.
I wish I could actually describe this to people. Maybe I'll do a VR experience with it one time. and just say, oh, this is an idea for the UFC. Do it. Honestly, it's fucking crazy because you walk out, you see everything. Everything. People are yelling. You can see all the people in the rafters. Intense focus.
You can probably highlight little things because your mind is... Yeah, on my Anson Silver fight, I saw one of my friends in the stand and I winked at him and he goes... And again, that's just the thing. You can just see everything. You're so focused. But yeah, that's nothing like it. Nothing like it.
I have to let go. And that's why I've seen a lot of guys like, what was that movie? The Wrestler. No, no. I mean now.
I've learned how to. Because even, you know, shout out to Volkanovski. He talked about it as well when... You know, he took the fight with Islam.
Like, yeah, that's why they don't give me free time and a lot of money.
It's a danger. I was going to say, you felt it. All of you have felt it. It's the same thing. It's relative. But the aspect of danger is just that thing that's the sauce. And that makes it like, fuck, because you're like, I'm about to go against this guy. And you're not thinking this, but you just know this is a possibility that I could get. in this. I could get sparked.
But also, I could do that to this guy. And that's the gambling. I'm a gambling man. But I like to calculate my risks. Shout out to Steak.
Um, Stipe. Oh my God, Stipe. I said the fight we all want.
I think Stipe is a legend in the game. One of, if not the greatest heavyweight ever. But Jon Jones is now a heavyweight, the heavyweight champion, and one of, if not the greatest fighter ever. But I just want to see what Stipe looks like for maybe in the coming weeks. So the fight's next month?
Yeah, I want to see. But Jon Jones, I think the, what do you call it, Cyril Gans fight, I was like, oh, that's going to be hard. Yeah. Easy. So I think he might even make this one easier. Yeah. I just feel like Jon is just a guy you can't. You can't doubt, because that one I thought like, oh, Sargon's new level heavyweight, similar size footwork, can grapple.
Nah, I was just like, yeah, Jon's that guy. He's that guy.
There's mutual respect. When that happened, that It was what, airport or something? No, no, at the bar. And then his manager just goes, you know Izzy's behind you, right? And he turns around and goes, yo. And I'm like, yo. And we just dapped up. Oh, that's great. And that was just like a moment like for me as a fan, because I've always been a fan. Yeah.
And when we had beef, I was just like, well, fuck this guy. But then we still always respected each other. Sure. So that was a cool moment for me. Yeah.
Oh, no, trust me. We were at the bar for about 40 minutes, and we talked about everything. Chopping it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't, yeah, I don't see. Also, he's great. He's, like I said, the greatest fighter we've ever seen. Yeah.
I would love to see him on Aspinall. That could be a fucking play. It's a chestnut checkers, you know? I hope so. That is true.
They got to fight.
They got to fight. I think... Fuck. It's hard to go against John, bro. I mean, respect to Aspinall. He finds a way. He finds a way. But Aspinall, so far, the way he dispatched of Sergei. The Russian guy. Oh, my God. And he's fast. I met him.
