I think that changed a little bit after I had kids.

But at that point, I was absolutely ready to literally die.

I mean, I would have died for that opportunity.

No questions asked.

So to get knocked out, if it had to be on such the gravity of the scale, I was willing to risk it.

And that was the only chance I had to win.

So I had to risk it.

So I go out in that round and I take a Hail Mary takedown.

It wasn't very good and it was far away and I barely got my hands around her hips.

She's a little too far away.

So I swung myself around outside and kind of behind her and kind of like threw her down.

So think of like throwing an anchor off of a ship or something.

It was kind of this like big looping thing that I did.

And I scrambled around.

onto her back and she's trying to stand up and I'm trying to get this choke in and I lock an arm under her throat and then I secure the choke with the second arm.

And she is, you know, she's doing everything she can to get out of this choke.

So we're standing kind of against the fence and she tries to like basically flip me off of her back over her head.

Which causes both of us to kind of do a somersault because I wasn't letting go.

I was like, at this point, I'm like dog on a bone.

I'm locked on.
