00:00And where is the fight? Is it in Florida?

00:02Um, the first card is in Los Angeles, but we're going to be traveling all over the world.

00:07Yeah, all over the world. So are you making good money?

00:10Oh, absolutely. And beyond that, they're taking care of the athletes.

00:13We get a 50% revenue share, which is really unheard of in the MMA.

00:17And who are these people with all this money?

00:19That's a good question. It's the GFL.

00:21So, but I mean, it has to be a collaboration of people with money.

00:24So like, I think because, you know, there's been a lot of,

00:26there's been a lot of fight leagues that have come and gone,

00:29like passing gas. Do you believe in them for the long term?

00:35Oh, I believe in them. They've definitely proven themselves to me already.

00:38And I have a very, very good team behind me that does fact checking and

00:43from everything that they've fact checked.

00:45So are you, are you getting, um, you like doing the TV shows and filming TV shows?

00:50Like you did dancing. I've done a million shows in my career.

00:54I was on MTV and everything else. I've filmed movies.

00:57I thought it was so much fun filming TV shows way more than like,

01:01I do TV every day for a living. You seem like you like TV.

01:03But I actually liked filming movies better.

01:06And like the craft services where they cook,

01:08they're cooking filet mignon and omelets for you all day.

01:11Whenever you want, you got your own filet here.

01:12They don't have anything here. This place sucks.

01:15Like you have your own trailer. You know what I mean?

01:17Like, wasn't it cool? Yeah.

01:18Do you like it better than being punched?

01:20I like movies. Well, no, I like movies better than TV.

01:23I feel like movies are way better than TV.

01:25Movies are better than TV, but no.

01:27Hannah, are you doing any TV shows?

01:29I have not done any. But I think you should.

01:31I would love to.

01:32I think once you guys take over the global league,

01:34you should start doing more TV shows together.

01:36And then once you make the real big money doing TV and making movies,

01:39then you won't have to be punched in the face anymore.

01:42From the movies I've been in, GFL is taking care of us far better than movies.

01:45Now listen, you can't possibly, uh, how long do you...

01:48Are you trying to convince us to change our career path here?

01:51Yes. What's going on?

01:51At some point, I'm worried about you being punched in the face and in your brain.

01:55I want you to be making movies and make tons of money and be famous that way.

01:59You're great fighters, but you can't do it forever.

02:02Like all these fighters get older, right?

02:04Yeah, doing it while we can.

02:05Well, you're doing it while you can, which is awesome.

02:07Where did you start fighting?

02:09Orlando is where I'm at now.

02:11And that's really where I started my training.

02:13And, um, yeah, I've been there for the last 10 years.

02:17And that's my home.

02:18Where did you grow up?

02:19I grew up in Oregon.

02:20Oh, in Oregon. Where in Oregon?

02:21Uh, the Pacific Northwest. So...

02:23Yeah, I know it. I've been to Eugene.

02:26Near Eugene.

02:27I like it there. They have good weed there.

02:29Are we on the air? Can you talk about the weed?

02:31No? No? That's a no.

02:32Um, they have great weed in Oregon.

02:34I've heard.

02:34They really do.

02:35Uh, I just wanted to say that just for the sake of the people there and the civilians.

02:40Uh, so who are you fighting in your first fight? Do you know?

02:42Oh, we haven't been told yet.

02:43Oh, what is it? Like a surprise?

02:45No, I mean, we're still so far out.

02:47So typically, uh, fight camps are six to eight weeks.

02:50So as the date approaches, I mean, we just found out that the...

02:54Yeah, the draft just happened.

02:55We just got picked to our team.

02:57So, uh, information will be unfolding.

02:59Woodley's in it. Holly Holm. I know her.

03:02I know Frank Mir. I know Chris Weidman. He just retired.

03:04I'm really good friends with Uriah. I call him Heap Faber.

03:08And, uh, Shogun.

03:10I know every single one of these fighters in this, uh, league.

03:13That is fantastic. Now I know both of you.

03:15Thanks for coming on Coast to Coast.
