You know when I was tripped out by, man? That underwater treadmill jammy. Isn't it amazing? Did you put it on it? No, I didn't. No, you gotta do it. It's sick. I was wearing my clothes. I wasn't going to jump in there. But I was like, what? Look at this. This is crazy, this thing. It's sick, man. Did you do it? Yeah, I did it a few times. What is it? Is it good for your cardio? It's low impact on the joints. So like, it's, oh yeah, you'll get a real good cardio. Really? Real good cardio push on it. Because there's jets blowing at you and the treadmills on the bottom. So you're trying just to not, you're running against the water. Oh, wow. And so like, depending on how deep you go, your arms, that's all resistance. Oh, shit. So you can go just waist level and it's a little bit easier, but the lower you go, the harder it is. Wow. Real good cardio. Did you do the zero gravity? I didn't do any of the things there. I just looked at them. That's what I was the best for. Forest Griffin gave me the 411. Yeah. They've done a lot. When's the last time you were there? What's the zero gravity? It's been a while. Maybe a year. What was the zero gravity? So there's a treadmill and you put these pants on and then you zip into this, like you zip into it. Oh, I did see that. And then you turn it on and it fills up with this air. Then you can run up to like 10% of your body weight. So it's just like, it's another zero gravity like treadmill. It's not low impact. Low impact, super low. And you can go all the way. 10% of your body weight. You're just like tippy toes. Just like, oh, that's so weird. Yeah. Yeah. That's really weird. Yeah. They got a lot of cool stuff, man. Well, they're at the forefront of all recovery methods and training methods and nutrition. Yeah. And you see what they're doing for us on fight week. What are they doing? So this last fight, they're like, Hey, do you want any help? Do you have your meals prepped or anything like that? I was like, no, I don't. So I guess for the people that are fighting within US for now, they'll prep and make everything. For, for a fight week when you're cutting weight and they'll make sure. Wow. Like you stay in contact with, with the guys, Clinton, them, and they'll check your weight and then they'll make meals according to you. Like whatever you need, deliver them to your room. That's outstanding. It was, it was the best. And then the recovery afterward, they give you these drinks, all like, you saw to approved all that stuff. It's like, no problems. They help. They help so much with that last weight cut and, and rehydration. How much do you cut? This fight I cut. 19, 19 pounds. And that's a lot. Usually I usually cut maybe four to seven pounds. Wow. The last couple of fights I've just, I would just coasted. But when I went to Thailand, there's a lot of sugar and a lot of stuff that I was eating out there. Is that really what it was? Yeah. When I was in Bangkok for a long time and it's just a lot of street food, a lot of fried food and stuff. And I was just there and I'm like, I'm going to try everything. So once I got to Phuket, they actually have like health food stuff, vegan stuff. They have a lot of tourists there. So especially on the street. So the street that Tiger's on all gyms, it's like five or six CrossFit gyms, maybe 10 restaurants, health food restaurants, everything. So I was able to stay on track there. So just, I was just back just a few weeks. Yeah, but I still may wait. So that's good. That's a lot of weight to cut though, right? Yeah. You like to cut like about five or six. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No more than eight. Like eight is pushing it for me. So what difference do you feel? The day after I didn't, with their rehydration method, I felt amazing. Usually cutting that much, I'd feel a little bit bloated, a little heavy, sleepy or all that stuff. But this, when do you talk in, did you ever do IV? I did do IV. Yeah. When I used to fight in the RFA at 185, I used to fight at 185. Oh my God. Yeah. That's hilarious. How much did you cut? Oh, I used to cut from, I tried to get as close to 200 as possible and then cut the 15. You must be super skinny at 200 too. Terrible. Oh, terrible. I'm struggling to make 205. Not, not, not struggling, but like it hurts to make 205 now. So I couldn't even imagine like, it sucked. Yeah.
