• 0:05
  Speaker 1: And go Mike, Mike over here. Obviously.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel like for the last several years,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you know, we've been building up this that one fight
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: that you didn't get with Connor, and then the Charles
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: fight was the rematch. So it's been a while since
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: we've talked to you before you've been ready to face
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the new guy on fight week. So I guess when
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: they came to you with Patty. Patty said he knew
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: that this fight was happening back in December, and it
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: maybe was on you. Maybe you didn't want to get back.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: In right away.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: So I guess what went through your mind when they
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: gave you Patty, And then I guess how long quickly
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: did it take you to sign that contract.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I'm a guy who is not afraid to take risks
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: and brave the unknown and do ill advised things to
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the masses at times.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But I also am a man of my word.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: So when the UFC approached me about it, the answer
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: was yes, I just don't know timeline wise. I had
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: some injuries I needed to take care of clean up
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: after the Charles fight. That was a tough battle for
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: a couple of months, but I wanted to make sure
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: that I was going to be able to make the
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: timeline for the UFC. You know, we talked about June,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: we talked about April, and then ultimately, you know, it
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: came down to, hey, I'm ready to just jump back
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: in there. I'm healthy, I'm ready, and I had bad
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: taste in my mouth from that last fight with Charles.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I felt like I was about to have the best
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: performance of my life, and you know, had a little
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: thing happened to me in the inside the octagon which
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: changed the entire thing. So now we're back, We're ready.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: We've had a phenomenal training camp and it was ready
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: to roll. And I'm glad I made that decision. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: just had a daughter born a couple of days ago,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: so I got some extra motivation. Gotta go out there
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and get my hand raised, finish Patty Pimblet in spectacular fashion,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and go home and be the dad to three children.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So first daughter, first daughter, man, first daughter, little Drew,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: little Drew d r U, three letters, one syllable, just
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: like happen Ace. I guess that's what the Chandlers do.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: So I'm excited. I mean, uh yeah, it's it's gonna
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: be good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Congratulations, Thank you. It's also it's been a while since
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: you've seen you, you know, fighting down in the rankings,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and I know you want to fight up, but do
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: you kind of view Patty as maybe the biggest name
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in terms of attention it will bring outside of Connor
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and obviously fighting Islam for the Bell. It seems like
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Patty's the one everyone talks about in the division.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, obviously, this is a sport.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It's the x's and the o's, it's about wins and losses,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: it's about rankings, but it's also about being in fights
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: that people care about.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: This is a fight that people care about.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Anytime I step inside the octagon, anytime Patty steps inside
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the octagon, people care. People people are going to watch
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to hopefully watch us lose or hopefully watch us win
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: if they're.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: A fan of us.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Right, So we've both got that, and uh, this this
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: fight has all the makings of the people's main event.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: And uh, I've only had my backup against the wall
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: twice in the UFC thus far. Obviously, the first time
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: was the coming into the UFC UFC debut. I had
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: everything to gain, but I had a lot to lose.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: And obviously we saw how I finished Dan Hooker and
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and a half minutes, and then a couple fights later,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: back up against the wall against Tony Ferguson who was
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: ranked number seven or number eight and I was number five,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and it was a kind of a risky situation, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: then we all saw the KO of the Year Sports
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Center number.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: One, top ten.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: So I thrive in these moments, and I believe Saturday
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: night will be very similar to the last two.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I watched that documentary on YouTube about you. I think
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it was called like six hundred and eighty eight Days,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and it used phrases like you've been quote unquote trying mixed.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Martial arts for the last fifteen years.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And then you were reflecting on that string of setbacks
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: in Bellotar against Will Brooks and everyone, and you used
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the phrase like you were forgetting how good you were
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: before you got back into the wing column. So I guess,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: how does this string of setbacks kind of compare to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: how you felt back then? Is it that much different
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: considering now that you know, have all these kids and
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you're in the UFC and everything.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, more than anything, I needed to go
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: through that first little streak to really find.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Out who I am.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: You need to go through struggle, you need to go
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: through through setbacks, You need to go through these trials
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: in order to find out who you are. Six hundred
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and eight days without a win, when at that point
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: in my career was like a death sentence to my career. Right,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I'm twelve and zero, finished ten fights, nine in the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: first or second round. All I did was win, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I didn't get my hand raised
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: against Eddie in the rematch, and I had the next fight,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: had an injury, but still kind of forced myself into
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: it to try to get back in the win column
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and lost to a guy I shouldn't have lost too,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and then lost again. It was. It was a tough,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: tough time, but now I look back on it as
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: the greatest blessing thing, well, second greatest blessing. I'll talk
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: about something else later in my book that's coming out.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And also I don't know if we talked about in
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: that documentary, but bad things have to happen in order
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: for you to find out exactly who you are.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: And now I don't even.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Know what kind of streak I'm on, or how many
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: fights I've lost or won, or how many days it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: been it doesn't matter because it's about the journey. It's
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: so much less about focusing and hyper focusing, being maniacal,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: about the wins and the losses and being perfect. I'm
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: just trying to be successful. I'm not trying to be perfect.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to be successful.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Patty's also used the phrase like in his mind when
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: he's preparing, he's like, oh, Mike, Mike's the guy that's
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: trying to take food out of my kid's mouths because
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: he just had twins too. So do you get that
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: mindset like maybe that's he has to build you up
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: as this guy that's the bad guy, but he might
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: not actually hate you outside of the octagon.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, he don't hate me.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And it's and that's what's beautiful about this sport man.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: You know we I got a ton of respect for Patty.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I hope I separate him from consciousness without too much
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: bodily harm uh and lasting, lasting impressions. But with that
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: being said, I hope he gets up and we hug
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: it out and he goes back to his family like
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: that's that's what we do, and he wants the same
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: exact thing for me. We all have a ton of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: respect for each other because we only we know the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: sacrifices that we have to make, and some of us
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: make more than others, and some of us, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: are a little bit lukewarm, and some of us are
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: all in. I believe I'm all in, so I believe
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I deserve to win. But yeah, I am, you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: trying to take the food off of his table, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: he's trying to take the food off of mine. So
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: we're just gonna go out there and we're gonna compete,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: and luckily we get to do it under the brightest
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: lights and the biggest stage in the world, which is
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the Ultimate Fighting Championships.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: That just last one for me. You said you had
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a book coming out, correct, And.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure when it comes out, but we just
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: finished the first Fight final manuscript, so we're excited.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And you just had a song that's coming out too.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Well, actually have a song coming out Thursday at midnight
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: with a Cure of the Down as well. And then
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I wrote a song with Bred Ferron, and uh yeah, yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff happening.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So do you ever feel burnout at all?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Because like juggling all that with getting in fist fights
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: probably seems like a lot.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: No, not really, I think I do, and I don't
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: know if this is right. I gotta really unpack it
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: if I'm gonna speak to young MMA fighters. But I
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: do a really good job of compartmentalizing and decompressing. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: do not live in the mixed martial arts gym. If
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I think, I believe if I lived in the mixed
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: martial arts gym, my career would have ended a couple
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: of years ago because it's just too much toll on
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: your body. So when I am outside of training camps,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I'm doing a lot of strength and conditioning. I'm keeping
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: my cardio up, I'm supplementing that supplementing perfectly NonStop, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I'm eating what I should be eating to just look
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: like a professional athlete so I can prolong my career
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: and taking little side projects. I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a businessman,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I'm an investor, So I'm just doing all kinds of
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: other things that make me feel alive and trying to
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: serve as many people as I possibly can. And mixed
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: martial arts fighting in the UFC is just my shiny
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: objects that gets people to look my direction.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Mike right, here to you're right down here.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: You know there's another name that's going to appear on
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: this card that you have some history with, obviously, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: that's Patricial Pitbull. Just curious, how do you think he
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: does in the UFC? And how do you think he
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: does against a.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yea year, no idea, You never you never know. I mean,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: that's why we love this sport. Whether you're a thousand
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: and one underdog or a thousand and one a favorite,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: anybody can win, anybody can lose. Now you take that
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: that out. You asked me, is Patricio a competitor? Is
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: he a championship level competitor?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Absolutely? Is he violent? Is he dangerous? Is does he
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of it? Absolutely?
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Jay Rodriguez is a perennial top guy though. So it's
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: a tough test, but it's it's what we want. I
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna speak for Patricio, but I'm sure there
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: were many many moments where he watched a UFC on
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: a Saturday night, or came to a media day with
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: one of his guys he was cornering and wished he
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: was here. And now he gets the opportunity just like
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I did a couple of years ago. And it was
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the right decision for me, and I think it's the
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: right decision for Patricio.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I wish him the best.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: We just saw each other in the lobby, shook hands
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: a little bit, try to squash the beef a little bit.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You know, he and I have some history. But man,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: we'll never fight again.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I wish him the best and uh, we'll come on,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: we'll watch on fight night and see how it comes out.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: You just said you'll never fight again. He has talked
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: about maybe fighting a different weight classes while he's here
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: in the UFC. So do you just think that's done
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: in your paths diverge for good?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, I'm not interested in that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I'm also the kind of guy where I think.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: The masses masses say there's a misconception, or maybe maybe not.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Some people will probably like this. I'm not the type
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: of guy who needs to get revenge. I really don't.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I sleep just fine at night knowing I've had my
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: losses and i've and I've taken my l's and I
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: don't need to right the wrong because ultimately fighting is
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: not the most important thing in my life. So I
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: don't neither right righting your wrongs.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: And then the other name that you're constantly, you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: kind of linked to, is obviously Connor. Just a quick
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: one on that. What do you think of his presidential
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: bid for Ireland?
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I think you should vote. I think you should vote
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: for Connor McGregor for president of Ireland.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: If you're a resident of Ireland. No, I mean, I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: You don't know what's up with you know what Connor's all.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: What Connor's thinking. He's got you know, you talk about
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: me burnout and busy and whatnot. I mean, that guy's
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: got his hands in a thousand different things, for better
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: or worse.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So I think, uh, you know, we'll see what happens.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: It could just be.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: A political stunt, could just be for attention. Not a
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: bad move if it is, and we'll see one.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: What do you make of Patty during this fight week?
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: He's a guy who sometimes has beefed with opponents, sometimes
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: beef with fighters that he's not fighting. But you guys
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: have been very very cordial. Is is this what you expected?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily? I didn't quite know, Thank you. Sorry, it's
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: measured out perfectly. I can't drink this one. I wasn't
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: sure honestly, what to expect, To be honest with you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I know he's got some funny trash talk. He likes
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: to get in the mix. He's not afraid. He's got
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: that Scouser accent. And but ultimately, you know, Patty and
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I have have crossed passed many times. You know, after
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I was at his fight against Ferguson, I came up
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: to him congratulated him, because why not even if he's
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: in my weight class, even if I knew he was
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: a young hungry star on the rise, could be coming
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: to be sitting right here someday to fight me. The
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: sports about respect, and I respect the heck out of him.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: And you know, he even was like I wasn't able
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: to do what you did to him, but I got
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: the wind and I was like, hey man, you did great.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: You know, we're very cordial. We don't need to hate
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: each other to go out there and try to steal
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the show. Chandler versus Pimblet is the people's main event,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and we will steal the show on Saturday night, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: uh we'll shake hands and maybe share a point after.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Mike. I say, at point point.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: Mike, you said you recently you recently said, you love
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: your losses. You were a two time runner up at
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: the Big Twelve Championships. How did you deal with your
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: losses then versus how do you deal with them now?
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Back then, I mean college, college was tough, self inflicted.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I made the sport of wrestling way too big. My
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: identity was wrapped up in being a guy who had
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: one goal and if it, if you, or it or
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: there or whatever did not align with that goal, I
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: was not interested in spending any of my time on you.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I lost relationships. I didn't go to birthday parties, they
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: didn't go to funerals. I missed all kinds of things
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: because I was all in on the sport of wrestling.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: And I think that's the way that we need to
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: be to a certain extent. But we can't have entire
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: our entire identity wrapped up in it. And after, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: the last time I took those shoulder straps off for
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the last time and Saint Louis, Missouri, after I got
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: done wrestling, I realized how much pressure I took put
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: on myself and how much how much harder I made
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: the sport than it needed to be. And I took
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: that into mixed martial arts, and yeah, I've had my
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: ups and my downs, and I've fallen back into that
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: trap a couple of times. But now I realize it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: all about the journey. It's not about the wins and
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the losses. It's all about the journey. As long as
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: you are sowing seeds every single day, that's how you
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: should be judging.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Every single day.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Focus on success, not perfections, focus on the little winds.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: And that's why I'm living the dream. Whatever happens on
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Saturday night happens. I know I've prepared. I know I've
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: done everything that I possibly can to get into the
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: wind column and get my hand raised.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens.
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: Hey, Mike, right here, I'm from Brazil. You fought Charlie's twice, right,
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: and there's.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Take your time yep twice Phil.
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: Uh, how do you see all this movement going on?
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: Like there's rumors that Islam might move up? Uh, Charles
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: might fight to Puria Topuria. Obviously it's on your division. Now,
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: how do you see all of that playing and how
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: do you think, especially for us from Brazil, how do
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: you see Charles doing against a guy like to Puria
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: or Islam again.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: It's tough, man.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: If I'm thinking with my heart, I want I want
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Gaichie to get a shot, you know, Gaichie being the
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: number one guy and then putting the putting that number
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: one ranking on the on the line against Max Holloway
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: for the BMF belt and then losing that, So then
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: he drops down a notch. Charles and I were number
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: one contender fight. But now now you got Taporia coming up,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you got Poorier retiring, you got Islam talking about going
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: up to one seventy. You know, there's a bunch of
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: rumblings about that in the media and things that he
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: has said. So the coolest thing is just being a
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: part of the most interesting division in the world. It's
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: interesting from all the things that you you just mentioned,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I just mentioned, but it's also interesting because every single
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: one of those guys shows up to fight. Charles is
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: a consummate professional. Even though I've lost to him, I
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: don't hate him. He just did his job and I
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: respect the heck out of him. And uh, you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: obviously he's up in that in that conversation. Top two
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: maybe next next for the title shot, BMF belt, whatever
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: it may be.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So we'll see my quick just one more quick one.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Is your book gonna be called see You at the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Top or walk On?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna be see you at the Top because
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: zig Ziggler wrote a book called see You at the Top,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: so everybody knows zig Ziggler coined the phrase see you
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: at the Top. It's not me, I'm just the one
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: who made it famous and their mixed Martial arts REALM.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: So it won't be called to You at the Top
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: were We're not sure what the title will be yet,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: but yeah, it's obviously a lot a lot about walking
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: on and see you at the Top in six hundred
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: and eighty eight days and all the things I've gone through.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: But it's a working title right now. I will be
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: the first put first book published under Gordon Publishing by
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: World War Nine author John Gordon, who just started his
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: publishing company. So it's pretty a pretty awesome opportunity. I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: excited to share it with the world.
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: You could cool to see you at the very top?
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see I see you at the very
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: top or over the top. Zig used to say, if
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: you do this, and you do this, and you do
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: this and you do this.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I won't just see you at the top. I'll see
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you over the top.
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: So yeah, keeping in mind, you fought Poorer, Gaigee, olivera
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: like all the top names at one point fifty five,
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: do you feel like you're taking a step down against Patty?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: No, it's not. I mean, it's not a step down.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I mean because yeah, you guys would say it's a
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: step down, and everybody who would look at the rankings
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: and that kind of stuff would say step down. But ultimately,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I never fought Poorier and Gaigee and Oliver and all
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: these guys. I fought two arms and two legs, a
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: torso and ahead. You know, it's a body, and I
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: see targets and I have a job to do. So
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: that's the way I see it. That's how I've always
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: approached the sport of mixed martial arts. Try not to
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: get wrapped up in the outside theatrics or the names,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: or the auras or the storylines.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's gonna be a fun one.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: And just real quick, obviously all those names are very decorated.
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: Patty has yet to achieve the same things that those
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: guys have, So just wondering do you feel like losing
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: to him like some people might see it as almost
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: signaling the end of your title contention days or the
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: end of your prime.
• 16:32
  Speaker 11: Do you do you think about that?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Do you think I've thought about losing? I'm asking you, No,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I haven't thought about losing.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: So in this sport, I think it's I think it's
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: you think about winning and then you see what the
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: result is, and then if you lose, you recalibrate. If
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: you win, you still recalibrate. So you know, it's one
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: of those deals where I haven't really thought about that.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I've been a competitor since I was fourteen years old,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: and I've always just focused on doing the best that
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I've possibly can to be as prepared as I can,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and so be it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I'll fight it. Thank you.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: I think, oh, You've had a lot of attention on
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: you said you comes to the UFC, but this one
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: feels like the biggest one right so far in your career.
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: Do you feel like this is the biggest fight you've
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: had to take a part of.
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Heavery fight that I have now is going to be
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: the biggest fight in mere obviously Evan's and must win
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: and call me an event slot on the best pay
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: per view of the Year, best Fighter of the Year.
• 17:27
  Speaker 11: It's a swear I need to shine.
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: Every fighter in their career has that one fight that
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: sort of in the eyes of the audience proves them
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: to be like a legit fighter.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: I think back to when Connor first fought Dustin as
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: he was coming through the rank, suddenly everyone realized like, oh,
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: this guy is really good. Do you see This fight
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: with Chanda is the one that for you shows the
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: world like, I'm not just a fun fighter, I'm a
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: legit elite fighter.
• 17:49
  Speaker 11: I hope so.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: But the goldpost always get moved with me. Lad, Everyone's
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: saying now before the Fighter channel is going to knock
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: him out to part he is not good, and then
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: once I beat him, it'll be oh he's two and
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: forward in the UFC.
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: He's taty eighties washed, you know what I mean.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: That's just I'm used to it. I get on with
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: it now. I just go out there and prove how
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: good Ian by winning.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: I saw on your YouTube channel, which is a great channel.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: People should check it out that you've started really like
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: dialing in and taking your career seriously more than you
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: ever had before. Do you feel the effects of that
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: in the gym and when you.
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: Train, Yeah, I feel it when a spa if you
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: look when to train, even like doing me fight run
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: through the last couple of days when we've been saying
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: and I've never had this much energy fight we I've
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: never been able to smash pads for rounds and rounds
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: and then do a fight to him after that and
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: everything is just coming together.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: Everyone always says it's very cliche, but I am in
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: the shape of my life. I've never felt this good
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: and it'll show on the weekend.
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: Did we establish who has the bigger mice messed up hand,
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: you or Michael?
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, everything started saying I've got a moose knuffle, which
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: was quite funny, but yeah, I think I've got bigger
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: hands on lot.
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: He's only little and.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: He you've used that phrase, you know, people are always
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: moving the goalposts for you, And I remember you were
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: saying something similarly when you fought Tony and something similarly
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: when you fought Bobby Green and or.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: King Green, and then you said you kind of get
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: on with it now. Did that ever bother you at all?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And was there a moment when you were just like,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: all right, I got to move on from this.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: Nah, It's been out there since I was anama ches,
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: since I was sixteen. You know, people saying Audie beat yet,
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: and I'm when I beat them, it's like, oh, he's
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: not even not good. I'm used to it. It's being
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: out it for years and years. It's certain. That's what's
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: not new to me.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: We've been we've heard your name even when you were
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: you know, in the Cage Warriors days, we had been
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: hearing of Patty and then obviously famously you decided not
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: to sign that first YEARFC contract to bet on yourself.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: But since around even before then, it's felt like you've
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: been this quote unquote kind of superstar and the rising
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: that we're gonna have.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: These big media days with.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Can you remember a time that you felt like that,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Like maybe you don't feel like a superstar, but people
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: around you started to really really recognize you, like around
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the world.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: No, yeah, when I was on even when I was
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: fighting on Cage what he is and I won the
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: belt there and now that blew up a bit. And
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: even when I'd go on holidays and i'd go to
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Thailand and Spain and stuff like that, I'd still get
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: asked for pictures before I was even in the UFC.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: But then obviously, when you get to the UFC, it's
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: the premier league of MMA.
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: One fight and.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: Everywhere to go. I just pitch a pitcher NonStop. But
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: I don't mind it, you know what I mean. As
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: long as people use the manners people say please, I
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: always say to you, what the magic word? So yeah,
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: I don't mind getting pictures with people. It's all good
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: as long as I'm not with the babies.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: When Connor and Sean O'Malley were on the rise, they
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: used like this phrase like they always knew this would happen.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: They couldn't really describe the feeling, but they always knew
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: they would be this superstar even before they were pros.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Did you have that feeling at all or did you
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: just kind of ride the wave?
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: No, I always said that. I always said we had
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: meant that. I always knew that this was coming, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: I always knew that this was in the future. That's
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: why it doesn't phased me. It's all I was just
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: talking because I said, from day one thought this is
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: what's gonna happen. I'm gonna be one of the biggest
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: superstars in this sports and I want to be a
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: world champion Monday.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: And then this year, dating from the January pay per view,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: even through your fight, we're seeing a lot of these
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: young lightweight prospects, you know, like like Rufi, Ignacio Baha, Monday's,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: like Tom Nolan and everyone, and they've all said the
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: same thing, like the top ten to fifteen of lightweight
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: are probably closer to retirement than their primes outside of
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: armand and a few of them said like, well, Patty's
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: kind of leading this charge of young lightweight's coming up
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the division. Do you feel that and do you kind
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: of look like they might not be ranked, but do
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: you see these guys as like I'll probably have to
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: fight this guy in like three four years probab maybe
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: for a title.
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you never know.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: I've said the same myself, the old gods changing. The
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: old God's gonna fall out so that all gonna retire
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: it or the gonna end upon it, the jocuity, like
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: Tony Ferguson, because they're all getting all. I think most
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: of the top ten is over thirty eight, well thirty
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: five sorry, like Benil Mikano, Chandler Potier, Gagey Charles.
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: I don't know how all gam rots is.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: I think danil Hood might be over thirty five as
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: well now, so the top ten at likewait, in the
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: next three years is gonna be completely different apart from
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: me and Armor.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: And then just last one for me, I think it
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: was either you your coach used the phrase you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Charles showed the formula against Michael Chandler, So I guess
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: what in that fight without giving away your game plan,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I obviously did you see from Charles and you're like,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: all right, this is the path to victory.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: But a lot of stuff, you know what I mean?
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: I couldn't even name one. We kept him on the
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: end of his shots. He showed that easy Michael Chandler
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: is to take down a lot of people thought Chandler
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: was a high level wrestler, but he might be a
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: high level like Division one wrestler where it's just straight wrestling,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: but MMA wrestling I'm better at. I'm a better grappler
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: and a better story. He's just got probably got more
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: power in his hands. But we'll prove with Donald Saturday night,
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: won't we We'll see who's got more power, because I
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: think there's more chance of me knocking him out than
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: him knocking me out?
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: How do you right here?
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: You know you mentioned all those names that are kind
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: of on their way out of the division a little bit.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Is that why you're trying to get these fights in
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: as like as many as possible now, because once they're gone,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Like you look at the great fighters in the sport,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: they have these names of the former champions and stuff
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: on the resume. Is it's important to try to get
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: as many of those as possible before they move on
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: for your legacy.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, of course it'd be nice to get all the
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: future Hall of Famous because like Gage Portier, definitely Charles,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Like if I could pick one of them to fight,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: it will be Charles Olivada. He's got the most submissions
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: in UFC history, former champion, defend of the belt twice,
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: well Miss Waite one, but I'll still call out of
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: defense and I think me and him stylistically would be
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: a brilliant fight. But as I say, I think Dustin's
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: only having one more than retiring. But Gage, He's another
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: fight that I'd love to have. These are all names
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: actually in the history of the lightweight division. They're all
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: names that everyone knows and everyone recognizes. So beating people
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: like da just be bosh.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw dustin Poree is gonna be a desk
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: analyst for this event. Does that excite you that you're
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: maybe gonna have to make him say some really nice
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: things about you.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: With your Hey, Yeah, I don't think he likes me
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: very much, to be honest, but I know he dislikes
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Michael Charmer a lot more than me, So yeah, it'll
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: be quite fun to have a little chat with him
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: after I've won.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Patty Benny right.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Here, Sorry, Molly retired recently. Obviously, the two of you
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: are very close. You've had some big nights together the
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Patty and Molly Show, that twenty two event when the
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: UFC came back a little bit for the first time
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: since COVID.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Was it hard seeing her hang them up?
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: And was there part of you that was kind of wishing, Hey,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: maybe we could do this one more time together?
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And of course, you know what I mean, I
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: didn't want us to desire. I had a little england
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: that she might do bo. I didn't think she'd just
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: do it like da change of opponents really fucked her,
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean? She was saying in the
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: fight Striker and ended up getting a very high level
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: grappler on a week's notice, So it really messed every enough. Bo,
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: As I say, I had a little inncland sheet did.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: But I think she had it in the back of
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: the man that if she lost, she was going to retire.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: And you know, she's she's got other things going on
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: in her life. Thinks she's always said she wants to
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: have a child. She's got her own businesses, so she's
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: got other things going on outside of the fighting. Obviously,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: I'd love to have that one last row with you, Bo,
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: It's one of them. Have we also have a life
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: outside of the fighting?
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Fair enough? And you know, now you and Chandler, you
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: both actually came into the UFC in twenty twenty one.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Obviously very different halfs to get here. But when you
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: look back to your Cage Warrior days and turning down
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: that first contract and even taking a pay cut to
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: be here on your first contract, is this what you
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: envisioned back then? Has it exceeded your expectations?
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: No?
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Yet, this is exactly how I envisioned it. It's been
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: a little bit slower because I got that injury and
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: was out for the whole year, and then obviously my
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: wife had twins, so he had a couple of months
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: off after the last fight. So it's been a little
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: bit slower than a Jeffuary bo it's eviding's gone smoothly.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Everything's gone to plan meets Jefftory, the road map I'm taking.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: It's going perfect. Beat Michael Chandler the weekend and fight
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: someone like as we've just been saying, Charles, Justin or
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: Dustin and Abu dab Be in October and then I'm
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: coming for that belt in twenty twenty six.
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: Thank you, Patty.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: On a Full Scent podcast, you had some words for
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: our mansarukin.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: What prompted you to say that?
• 26:42
  Speaker 11: And did you hear his response? Yeah?
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: The scene is responsor tickled me, Amy laugh. It's just
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: being honest, you know what I mean. I'm just brutally honest.
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: I can't lie. Someone got asked about someone, I'm gonna
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: be honest. I've seen him saying an interviewed other week today,
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: I don't watch anybody they're not in the top five.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I won't watch Chanlan and Primley. Well, what are you
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: tweeting me for?
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: Then? You know what I mean?
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: If you weren't concerned about people who are in the
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: top five. He wouldn't be tweeting me when I've said
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: something about you. Like people who say stuff about me
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: what beneath me, I don't mention it. I just leave
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: them to it. But you know I must be in
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: his head. It's not my faulty shites.
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: His pants.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And with the win here, do you plan to call
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: him out?
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: Anyone in the top five? I don't care.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Like it doesn't have to be a certain person like.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: It can be armoring, it can be Charles, it can
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: be Justin, it can be dusting. I just want to
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: fight whoever's going to get me to that title. It's like,
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: I haven't got no personal vendettas against anyone a part familiar,
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: so it's it's one of them. I'll fight anyone they
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: put in front of me. I'll never turn down a fight.
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: Make better right here. I'm from Brazil and I was
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: talking to Patricia Peter Boo a couple of days ago
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: and he told me, like your message here and he
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: gave you some advice on channel without saying what it was.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: That's something you plan on using on a.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Fight, Yeah, definitely, I messaged him when when we was
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: at the press conference, a couple of weeks ago. I
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: was going to try and get some signing them with him,
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: to be honest, because he's a little bit of a
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: similar style to Channeler, only his shorts stock. He throws
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: big shots, and I could have played the year for him.
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm taller, rangey, throw a lot of kicks.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: But we never We just didn't find the time to
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: get him with each other and do it. Bo At
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: the media day, the press conference, we were in the
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: back and we were talking to him and his coach
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: and his brother, and he did give me a little
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: few pointers, showed me a little few things.
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: I think we might have a little bit of our
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: own video.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: So after the fight, if that comes off, Purple will
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: be getting a big shout out and we'll share the
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: video of what he was showing me.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: Thinking three years ago you started the Baddy Foundation, which
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: is geared towards helping men's health, men's mental health awareness,
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: and helps feed kids and needs. I wanted to ask,
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: how's the foundation going and do you have any cool
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: projects coming up?
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: It's going, grace, you know of me, and I'm still
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: raising funds constantly. One of the best things that we've
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: done so far is a charity. What does counseling in
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: the UK called James's Place. It's a place that I
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: actually went to myself when I was depressed and struggling
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: with me mental health. I got the actually had sessions
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: there and we donated enough money for them to employ
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: another counsel and another member of staff. I don't know
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: if it was a year or two years. Like we
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: use the funds out of the Body Foundation to do
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: that so more men can actually go and speak to
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: someone and get mental health advice and you know, hopefully
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: not do not undrast it and not take their own
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: life all tying armed themselves.
• 29:58
  Speaker 11: Patty real quick.
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: People have accused Michael Chandler fans and past the oppointents
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: of maybe being a dirty fighter, of cheating fish looking
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: shots to the back of the head, wondering do you
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: agree with that? Do you see him as a dirty fighter?
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: And if so, I guess what, how do you prepare
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: for that? And do you have to have a conversation
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: with the referee in the back to be like, hey,
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: just be extra careful.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's the nicest man in the world outside the cage,
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: and when he gets in it he's its a edsy bastard.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: He oh, but I always say, if you're not cheating,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: you're not trying. So I understand what he's trying to do.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: He wants to win, and that's that's the main thing
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: when it comes to this game.
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: Bo.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I probably will mention to the ref in the back,
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: like if he's gonna grab me gloves. I want to say,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: if he tries to poking in the eye and stuff
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: like that, because that one against Charles lad when he
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: punched them in the back of the head about nine
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: times or stain and the ref. I hope that's not
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: my referee put it that way. I hope I've got
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: a good ref like God or Hazorg. I don't want
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: to have a ref that's just gonna let me get
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: rabbit punched in the back of the head. Can consistently
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: the one what he does again, he was bad as
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: well when he poked them in the eye and then
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: the references are stopping and he just punched them in
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: the face as hard as he could. And as I say, Chandlers,
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: a real nice fellow outside the octagonal bumped into him
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: yesterday and had a chat with him.
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: But in there he's a very very daisty man. Thank you,
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: good luck,
