I was in... Oh shit! Fabrizio Verdun got flagged. And he was just going to fight in Russia, I think, against Olnyuk. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's not happening. That's a wrap. That's a wrap on that. He's 40 years old, trying to compete in something that's a young man's game. That's the thing. It's like, you can get mad, you can get outraged, and that's a reasonable result or a reasonable response if you want. But if you rationalize, if you have empathy, it's like, this guy still wants to do this thing that his body won't allow him to do. And so he's willing to bend the rules to attempt it. He failed, and now he's going to have to pay the consequences. Yeah, it's a month after his knockout loss to Volkov. Right. Volkov fucked him up, man. That guy's dangerous. That guy's fucking dangerous. Big, long, tall knockout artist. The heavyweight thing is a whole other thing. It's a whole other thing, man. And when you get these seven-footers that can kick ass, like Volkov, that's a fucking nightmare. What is he like? 6'6", 11", right? Scary. Volkov's, how tall is he? He's a big guy. He's bigger than Verdun by a lot, so call it 6'6", 6'7". Somewhere in that range, right? Scary. And Verdun is 6'4", right? Somewhere around that range? Have you ever met Brett Rodgers? Who's Brett Rodgers? The wrestler? No, Brett Rodgers fought- Oh, Brett Grim Rodgers? Yeah. Yeah, he fought Fadar. Strike Force. Yeah, that guy. That's the biggest person I've ever met. Really? Yeah. I don't know what it was about his frame, but I was trying to interview- and he has only 6'9", or 6'8", or something, but it was the physical frame of him. And it was just so wild. I saw Triple H in a restaurant one time, and I was like, whoa, giant, dude. These big athletes like this, the force that they can generate, like Inganu, that ability to create that type of power and impact is just- There's a crazy picture of Inganu standing next to a professional basketball player, and Inganu looks like a tiny person. It's so weird. Inganu looks like I look when I stand next to him. Not quite as much contrast, but pretty ridiculous. There it is. Look at that. What? That's absurd. Fucking crazy. There's more always, but I have a Chihuahua, and you have your dog. You put them beside each other, and you're like, that can't be the same species. I know. It's weird, right? Then humans are just like dogs in that way. We vary so wildly in our size.
