And it was one of those moments where, you know, the boot was on my foot, you could say, you know, rather than the other side, the other way. Because I had been to Japan in situations. I remember as a 16-year-old, I got such a drumming from one of the Japanese guys, older students. And he had a gold tooth. And so he was gold tooth to me, you know, and he was my nightmare.

And I remember I kept coming out to fight him because he kept throwing me and I was crying and I was upset. And I was like, and then that was another occasion where I got dragged away. And I said, no. So I wanted to go back and fight him. And I went back to the same dojo every year to fight him. He was on my mind. Mm-hmm. Morning, noon, night, he was on my mind.

Gold tooth was on my mind, you know. Did you ever get him? Two years later, I was, two years to me from 16 to 18 was totally different. 18 years of age, I was pretty competitive with him. And it was like, you know, I was standing up with him. 19, he was in the groundwork competition.

Switch happened, you know, because I just... Well, because I remember getting the arm lock and... He didn't put it on immediately. I needed it to last. It had to last. So I spread it. The whole thing lasted as long as I could possibly get it. And it was a long memory as I was looking down at him.

I don't know. I'm hoping that he remembers me. He has a photo of you. He probably doesn't say a thing about it.
