00:00When I came to the UFC, I remember an hour and a half before my fight, I walked into the dressing room from Chiyoshi Kosaka, because I know TK.
00:08And I said, hey TK, I'm going to try to knock you out, brother. I hope you're going to do the same thing with me.
00:13And then afterwards, we drink a beer. Sounds good. And he goes, good. So we shook hands. And that's what happened.
00:19You know, so it was a different time. The animosity that you see nowadays also, you know, a lot is fabricated, of course, but there are some real fights.
00:28You almost never saw that in the old days. You know, everybody was hanging out with each other.
00:33After the fight, everybody's in Woppongi to go with our district in Japan.
00:37And we're all eating breakfast together, you know, just on the fight day, that's where we separate our emotions.
00:43We fight and then it's back to being friends again.
