So I definitely, you know, miss seeing those guys every day.

Definitely initially during the initial split, we definitely hated each other at the beginning, but it's definitely started to calm down.

Actually, just prior to, you know, all this social media drama that's going on currently, he had reached out to me and that was literally like the first time that we have actually talked since the split happened.

So we didn't talk to each other for, what is it now, like almost two years.

And that was the first time that, you know, we interacted again.

And overall, you know, he wasn't, you know, aggressive towards me.

I wasn't aggressive towards him.

We were cracking some jokes.

So hopefully the animosity is going down.

Yeah, my parents, you know, they both raised us that, you know, like family is everything.

You never, you know, betray your family or anything like that.

So I definitely, you know, miss them from time to time.

I think it was definitely like a justifiable reason for the team splitting.

Like it just, with the way things were going, it just was not going to work with, you know, all of us in the same room together.

It started, you know, affecting training.

People didn't feel comfortable and things.

So I definitely think that it was a justifiable reason to split.

Yes, I think EBI is very good from a spectator point of view.

You know, people find it very entertaining to watch, you know, because people want to see submissions and you're putting people, you're putting the athletes in a position where, you know, you have like the highest percentage submission in the sport.

So obviously you're going to get a lot of submissions.
