You've always put on great performances,
00:04
but the one you put on against Christie,
00:05
I mean, this was a tough guy.
00:07
We said coming in on the show that, you know,
00:08
just like you, it was a guy who fought at a higher weight class,
00:10
had a lot of success, and then still decided,
00:12
you know what, I feel better at the lower weight class,
00:15
dropped down, had a great fight in England.
00:17
This was his second fight at this weight class.
00:19
Coming in there, a former talent holder
00:20
trying to take your belt.
00:22
What was it that you expected from him?
00:23
And, you know, did things go the way you kind of planned
00:26
in, you know, your work before the fight at Shift?
00:29
Or was there something, you know,
00:30
did your power even impress you
00:31
the way you dropped him those couple of times
00:33
in that fight?
00:34
I 100% expect the fight to go exactly how it did.
00:39
What I mean by that is I'm very confident in myself.
00:42
The amount of work that I put in, what I'm capable of.
00:46
One of the biggest things that I pride myself on
00:48
is my fight IQ, and I just,
00:52
I understand what people are looking for.
00:54
I have great eyes.
00:55
I can make, you know, defensive movements on the fly,
00:58
and I can counter right off of them.
01:00
So I knew that going into the fight
01:02
that whenever he decided to push,
01:05
that I was going to be able to connect clean
01:07
and set him down.
01:10
I just wasn't sure if he was going to come out of the gate
01:12
trying to get me out of there
01:14
or if he was going to try to box me.
01:15
And for the first round,
01:16
he kind of was on his back foot a little bit.
01:18
And then the second round,
01:21
he tried to engage a little bit,
01:24
and I was just already coming forward so hard.
01:26
So it went exactly how we had planned,
01:29
and it was just a beautiful thing.
01:33
It's beautiful when a plan comes together like that.
01:35
A great performance by you against a very tough opponent there,
01:39
a guy who, like we said, was a former champion over in the UK.
01:43
You know, of course, you had that little insight, of course,
01:45
with him fighting Jared Warren when he had that title.
