00:00Coming back down to this weight class for the first time in a number of years.

00:03I mean, it has been since 2019 that you fought at 185,

00:07you dropped down to 170 for a while, went back up to 205, to light heavy.

00:12How has the weight cut been for you getting back down to here from where you

00:15were last year, and why the change in divisions?

00:20Yeah, so I would say I would use the word finalist when it comes to being back at 185.

00:28This is the weight division that gives me the best.

00:32My walk-around weight is perfect for the middle weight.

00:38Light heavy weight, I never gained the weight that I needed to be able to

00:45actually fill out the body, and the welterweight was just too hard of a cut.

00:49I did it for a couple of years, and it just started to affect my performance.

00:53So now, like I said, finally, back at 185, where I believe I will perform the best.

00:59I feel you. I'm a little bit older than you.

01:02So as we get up there, getting rid of that weight, it gets harder and harder.

01:05I'm sure you're feeling fresher, you're feeling better.

01:08How do you feel right now as you're ready for this fight coming up?

01:12Is it easier for you to be where you are, less weight to cut,

01:15and you don't have to put on that extra muscle and carry that extra bit that can gas you out?

01:19How do you feel as you get ready to step into that cage?

01:23Oh, I feel great.

01:26I've had a lot of fun with camp.

01:29It felt great.

01:30Also, like I said, nice not having to focus about weight cuts.

01:35I know that 185 is such an easy cut, so I don't have to actually walk around every day

01:41and just focus on how my diet is going to affect me and stuff like that.

01:47So I feel great.

01:48It's been fun, and I'm looking forward to the fight.

01:51I'm very stoked.

01:53You know what?

01:54I understand you wanted to make the easier cut because, I mean,

01:56I saw the pictures that you had from Friendsgiving.

01:58I mean, those ribs that you had.

02:00I mean, when you've got people who can cook you that kind of food,

02:03why would you even bother trying to get down to 170?

02:05Just enjoy life a little bit.

02:06Man, you guys had such a serious spread you had going on there.

02:09I've seen a couple of different posts.

02:10He was some great food.

02:11You've got to love the good stuff sometimes and let yourself enjoy life, right?

02:15Okay.

02:16I'm a foodie.

02:17I love making food, and this is one of my friends,

02:22Kendrick Benjamin from Salt Lake City.

02:25He's an amazing chef.

02:27So I was his food chef for that one.

02:30I was at my house in Vegas doing a friend's giving.

02:33But, like, he showed me how to do the best brisket.

02:37I just loved and I enjoyed food.

02:40So 170 was definitely enough for me anymore, I should say.

02:45I got you.

02:46Who needs a six pack when you can enjoy life a little bit more?

02:48I got you.

02:49I got you.

02:50I got you.

02:51I got you.

02:52I got you.
