Khalil Rountree Jr.

But...

Yeah, I think that it's, you know, when I see things like, you know, Dustin's exit and all that stuff.

Granted, he did a lot in the company and he's done a lot in his career.

But to see that kind of gave me hope, like, OK, maybe this will, you know, give the fans a little bit of different perspective and maybe it can start to shift towards like.

appreciating people appreciating the fighter man yeah yeah like appreciating the fighter for for what we do it's not it's not the easiest job we don't get paid the most you know like so like yeah like a little appreciation goes a long way win or lose for sure

Man.

Yeah, it's annoying, man.

Yeah, dude.

Stop.

Yeah, it's super annoying.

And that also brings to thought, like, I went to the ESPYs, and that was really cool.

My first time going to the ESPYs and seeing all these other athletes, you know, that we see on football, you know, just on television.

Being in the same room, it was amazing.

And I remember seeing just, like, the opening video.

And, uh, I think there might've been maybe one clip of an MMA fight, but I'm listening to all the like awards given out and, you know, best play and all this stuff.

And I was just thinking, man, I know MMA is new and I'm obviously it's growing because we're here and, you know, they got John Jones in the crowd and they got Marab here, you know?

So it's growing.

They're starting to acknowledge us.

But, like, I can't wait until the day where, like, there's more fights on – you know, in the ESPYs.

Yeah.
