00:00
You of course had a big weekend out there in Spain, you know, it's been a while since
00:07
we saw you almost a year because of course you'll be chasing one man down that doesn't
00:11
seem to want to fight you and we'll talk about that later on.
00:14
But how has it been for you going through this, you know, this long layoff that you've
00:18
had?
00:19
I know you're a guy who wants to get in there.
00:20
You want to fight.
00:21
You don't want to, you know, have this time off.
00:22
What was it like for you having this long layoff?
00:24
How did you stay fresh?
00:25
What were the things you were doing to, you know, really kind of pass the time as you
00:29
waited for someone to finally step up and want to fight you?
00:32
You know, I pretty much stay in the gym regardless of whether or not I'm in camp anyways, but
00:37
I did get, I guess we call it teased a little bit, you know, throughout the whole 11 months
00:42
I was supposed to fight.
00:43
So I feel like I've been in an 11 month camp.
00:47
Silver lining to that is it made me that much better.
00:50
I mean, as everyone's seen, I came out and I probably had one of my best performances
00:54
yet and it'll continue to grow, but it is what it is.
01:00
And I just hope that I get back in there sooner this time.
01:04
We're hoping so as well.
01:05
What were, you know, if you can talk about some of them, I know we had the King Mo fight
01:08
that was supposed to happen that fell through that, you know, we'll talk about in a second,
01:11
but were there other, what was some of the other ones that you're talking about that
01:13
might've been teased or, you know, were there a bunch of fights that kind of were put out
01:16
there and pulled away?
01:17
What was the situation that you were facing as you were sitting there waiting for something
01:22
to come through?
01:23
Yeah, it's, it's a little bit of, uh, trying to find somebody who actually is deserving
01:28
of the title shot.
01:29
I mean, there's plenty of guys that, you know, are, are calling me out, but they have like
01:33
three fights, you know, I'm, I'm now on my 10th.
01:36
So it's, it's, it's just hard to match make for this scenario.
01:41
So outside of getting like some bigger names, people who got some pool, um, it's, it's just
01:47
tough.
01:48
And then the more teasing part wasn't so much opponents as it was locations and things just
01:53
got kind of bounced around, you know, BKOC is making moves or they're growing and things
01:58
just play out the way they do.
02:00
And, but at the end of the day, everything came together perfectly and we shined and
02:04
we're growing.
02:05
So we just going to keep on riding the wave and I'm happy as can be.
