Do you think Henry's done for good? One twenty-five, one thirty-five, two at one fifty-five and one seventy. I mean, I don't know any manager that's ever had that many champions in the stable. I think Henry, a year and a half from now, is like, hmm. Uh, fuck. Oh, yeah. It's again, I... It's business. Yeah, he wants big money. You know, that's what he wants. That's what he does. Look, he's one of the absolutely, undeniably, the greatest combat sport. But that weight class has always had issues with people getting paid. Yeah. Like, I love it. Like, Henry just loves the fight. Like, their technique is just so fun to watch. Yeah. It's so fast. I mean, Henry's a special guy. He really is. I mean, look at a guy who... He's an incredible athlete. ...won the gold medal in the Olympics, won two divisions, and then he's winning by stoppages against the world-class guys smashing people. TKOs. Yeah. He's amazing. He really is amazing. But I respect his choice. I mean, the guy decides to go out on top and will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time, for sure. Oh, one out of time. The UFC is probably, you know, as athletes. The hardest people to do business with in the world. So when you do have the cards in your hand, you have to go to war for yourself. Yeah. Because no other time will you be able to. But the only time he's going to have those cards is when he's actually the champion. Right now, he is the champion. If he decides to vacate the title like he has, they remove him from the rankings. And they put it in the champion. They don't just give it back to you. Yeah, they don't just give it back to you. I believe that, well, he can earn it. He doesn't have no problem doing it. He'll get a title shot immediately. Right. But he would not be the champion going into the fight. So there's like financial considerations. But that was, I believe that was him playing his cards. Right. Going to war. You know, and they don't respect you enough. And so eventually, you have to, at what point do you say, no? Right. I think legitimately, he's probably done too. When you stop and think about the fact that he retired from wrestling at 21, you know, not even at the peak of his powers, right, after he wins a gold medal. And then the fact that he came back from that first round stoppage to DJ. Yep. And then beats him in the rematch, like, what was it, like two years later? And with his knee and his ankle always looking like he goes out, like with that, with the Moriahs fight and in that DJ fight. Just so crazy overcoming that and just getting gosh. He has nothing left to accomplish. The Marlin-Moriahs fight was incredible. Oh gosh. Marlin's just fucking... She's so talented. Fucking good, man. And so, so nasty with his kicks. It was crazy. There was like taking ass kicking for a round and it overcome that. Like... And then they come back in the second round and just blew himself to his chest. And started smashing them. The clinch, he was so talented. He's a very intelligent person. But retiring like that, it truly just got out of that. No one's done it like that. Like George has done it, but he had a rough fight prior to it. Then he came back later. Like the thing is, no one's done it. I always say, do things outside the box. Be remembered. I think he'll fight again. He may. He may. Captain Eric thinks he's going to fight again. But I do think it'll be on his terms, which is ultimately all he's fighting for right now. Yeah, yeah. Well, listen, man. The guy, he's done amazing stuff.
