And so I've always had a pretty good head when it came to just leaving the experience and taking the lesson when it comes to wins and losses.

Yeah, and I mean, and honestly, you can only control so much.

You know, I've had fights where I've felt like I lost and I won, and I still feel really good because they said I won, and vice versa.

Like, a fight that you feel like you won and they say you lost and you feel like crap, and so you just have to, like...

take out other people's opinions on it and just focus on your preparation, your effort, and hold your head high on that.

And so I was always pretty good at stacking those odds in my favor.

And so I was able to walk away and not feel like, oh, you know, beat myself up too hard.

Yeah, someone said that.

One of the staff just said, actually, it's two fights.

Yeah, two fights is the average.

Yeah, it's crazy.

It's a tough business, man.

Kids, keep studying.

Yeah, and for me, and I'm not sure, you were talking about kind of the early stages of the fight game, but we're literally talking about, I mean, I get considered, I'm a fairly young guy, and I get considered a pioneer in the sport because I started when it was illegal in California.

I mean, literally, the only fights happening were on any casinos.

There was no weight class for me.

There was no women in the sport.

You know, the idea of a woman fighting in the UFC was like,

it was never going to happen anus that it was never going to happen you know uh there was no lighter weights so um i got to be at the wild west of this thing and um you know being somebody that you know got 200 to show up show up for this first fight 200 to win sold a couple tickets to where it is now is uh is pretty awesome wow that's what they were paying back then

Yeah, absolutely.
