I love knockouts.

You love knockouts.

I mean, anybody who likes fights loves knockouts.

And I love defense too.

And I love not just one or the other, but the interplay between them.

And that is what makes combat sports beautiful.

If you just take away the one portion of it, to me, it's like, hey, do you want to go on a hunting trip or do you just want to go get the revolver and go shoot the fish in the barrel?

It's like...

Yeah, you're going to see me shoot fish and they will blow up in the barrel.

But it's like, I don't know, it seems almost pointless.

Yeah.

And then you get knocked out, it's over, right?

It's over.

Yeah.

It's rough.

This is what I mean.

And it's like, you know, also, like, what kind of person are you attracting doing that?

I don't mean to demean them, but, you know, you're not getting Ronaldo or Messi walking through that door to power slap, right?

You're getting a much lower caliber of...

not just athlete, but someone who has an appetite for recklessness that maybe is not healthy.
