That's so big.
He's the champ now for a reason.
Yeah.
It's funny.
When I met Peter Yan, I was cornering in β
in singapore i think somewhere in china and we like walked past each other and he stopped me and he's like oh he was like a fan and wanted to take a picture he told me a story how he was supposed to come train with us but it didn't work out and this and that when i met him i was still i think i was 37 at the time i still had that like and i was already retired i had that like when you meet another like
guy that, that you want to test.
Like, I just wanted to test him.
I could tell he wanted to test me.
Like I'm like that still, like when somebody comes to my gym, um, like I'm, I'm, I'm grappling them.
I'm putting hands.
We're going to, we're going to see like where he's at, even though I'm, I'm much older now.
And I, when I first met him, I was like, I want to fight this guy.
You know, it didn't happen until three years later, but like, it's just like an animal thing.
I don't know.
Like it just, uh, alpha thing, I guess.
And, uh,
I wish I would have fought him when I was 26 because I was 40 and he was 26.
I was doing pretty well, but I got too relaxed and he caught me once and then he caught me twice.
40 is like... Yeah, and I came out of retirement just prior to that.
