00:00I don't know that doesn't but I got like you with your experience that doesn't play into your mind

00:04I'm sure you know when you're younger, maybe it would get you more riled up

00:07But does that you know fight night?

00:08Does that factor in at all or do you want to punch him a little extra for that?

00:11Or is it just like, you know, you're gonna stick to your game and be smart about it not let him get in your head

00:17Yeah

00:22Chance and I know the team that comes with he has that little attitude, you know, so

00:27Honestly, I wasn't too surprised

00:29that he didn't make way and

00:31Cuz I was paying attention to let his last couple fights

00:34He never really made 135 and he had a lot of catch weights at 140 and he will miss weight for

00:40For those who'd weigh in like 142 a couple times

00:43So I kind of had an idea but you know, I don't focus on what's going on

00:48You know, I focus on myself and I'm a professional and so I go and I make the weight. So

00:54So I just did take care of what I can wait care of you

00:58You did that you made the weight you got the win, I mean early on that fight you came out aggressive and

01:04You know you seen you kind of not I would say cautious

01:06But obviously you let your opponent come to you a lot usually and you pick them apart you find those spots

01:10You came out aggressive and he kind of threw that

01:12Like guillotine on you early with that stand up

01:14You were able to turn and you know go down to the mat and escape it eventually switch the position later on and then the rest

01:20Of the fight was just all you know

01:22You on top just raining down shots whenever you could find the appropriate spot and making him pay for everything

01:28What was going through your mind at first and beginning that fight when he threw that arm around your neck?

01:32I wasn't just experienced kicked in that get you out of there and

01:36Rest of the fight. Did you feel you know at any point that there was any chance?

01:39He's gonna do anything you just knew it was just cruise control the rest of the way once you had that little early scare

01:45No, yeah, it was mainly just cruise control, you know, he did catch me surprising

01:52This guy knows what he's doing

01:54But yeah, I was more like, you know, I was kind of really upset with myself, you know

01:58I know I should have finished this guy. This is kind of these are the guys that I need to be finishing, you know, but

02:04You know, it is what it is. You know, I'll take the W
