What was your Jorogan experience? Were you surprised that they decided to have Usman and Mazvidal too? Um... Surprised no, because I know it's about money right? Putting assets in the sea and... Um... I think if the fight 10 out of 10 times... I think Usman probably win 9 probably. Um... It's a good entertaining fight for the fans but... Martial artists is... Yeah... One of them fights, right? It wasn't just gonna go out there and probably grapple him again probably. Um... I wanna see what... What Mazvidal can do with the camp. You know? Cause clearly he wasn't prepared... Physically. You know what I mean? Take a fight on 6 days notice. There's no way he can really be prepared. Nah, he was training. He was... He had like wrestling coaches like... I remember watching him just... He was like getting good training and you know? He weren't like sitting on the couch for like 6 months. Then it takes 6 days and 4. Right, but you know as well as I know there's a difference between just training... Yeah. And then preparing for a fight, right? Yeah. Um... Was he Finkie Beetson? No, I'm not saying that. Oh okay, okay. But what I am saying is there were some very interesting moments in that fight where he was out striking him. Yeah. But you know, Kamar was just so strong. It's such a good wrestler. I just durable. And Finkie dropped him... Beryl dropped him the other day so... Um... It'd be a good fight. I'll be watching it for sure, you know? Um... I think if I had to put money on it, I'd probably go... Um... Osmond for the win again. Well once he... You know, once a guy beats a guy, he's always going to be the favourite to fight again. But it's just... It's just... It's an interesting fight. I just... I'm very... I'm excited to see how Masvidal performs with a camp. Nah, it'd be good. It'd be good. I'd love to see as well, but I can't see what he could do different, you know? He's going to come out again, be what he does, and swing... Sing for the fences and try to knock him out. He's going to... High guard and just grapple him. I was going to see what he does different. Unless it catches him and knock him out. I was going to see... Um... What he does different. When you and Masvidal got at it at that post-fight press conference... London. Did you expect that a fight was going to come after that? That you would eventually... Um, yeah, for sure. Okay, next... That's the next fight, right? Straight away. And to have it now for about two years, two and a half years, it's like... It's still ain't fought yet. I've been calling him out ever since, and the UFC wants it. But you just keep turning it down and say, no, you don't want to fight. Well, that's the weird thing. It's like you're at an elite level, the top of the food chain in terms of your skill level. Yeah. But you're not as known as you should be with the skill level that you have. Yeah. I mean, it's like you're the best-kept secret in the division. It's weird. Yeah, it's a weird thing, but... It'll change. It's going to change 100%. It's coming. I can feel it. It's changing, you know, slowly. But I think number one should fight number two, right? Number two should fight number four, and that's the way it should be. But it's like... I'd have to go to number 13 to fight Bilal. I'd have to go to fight Hamzack, because all these guys, like, Deavius, right? They were just demanding... Like, Kobe, for example, just demanding title shots. Like, you just got beat one fight ago. You got knocked out. One fight ago, right? No, he beat Tyrone after that. Yeah, so Tyrone then... You got beat Tyrone in 4th since, right? If I had to his mind, then he beat... It was just Tyrone, right? Tyrone, there's one fight, right? I think so. After that. I think it was just a Woodley fight. Yeah, sure. I thought it was... Pretty sure. So, I don't think you deserve a title shot. He just got beat, like, convincingly. You weren't like... It was a close fight, to be fair, but he did get stopped, you know? So, I don't think you got a title shot straight away. That's a fight you would like. Kobe? Yeah. Now, yeah, for sure, 100%. Obviously, I wanted a title shot, but now they're fighting. The only reason why I would say it'd be better for you to fight someone before the title shot is just to get the hype out. Yeah, yeah. So that with the pay-per-view gets built up, so that you'll get more money. Yeah, yeah. It's a bigger deal. Nah, for sure. I won't be sitting around waiting for the... I'll be fighting, you know? So, we're trying to get it, and Kobe's a weird one, so we don't know what's going to happen, but we're trying to get a fight done. Yeah, well, the one thing that does come with Kobe is a lot of attention, and that's the good part of it. It's a good fight, technically, you know? I think the top... All the guys are all similar, right? In skill set, what they're going to do when they fight me, right? They're going to come to wrestle. The fight is going to come to wrestle. Kobe's going to come to wrestle. Belau doesn't come to wrestle. I know what they're going to do. It's easier to prepare for them. I was saying before, he couldn't swap them out, so when Hamzat fell out, it was okay to put anyone in, because they're all going to do the same thing anyway. So swap another one in, and that's what it was. So normal. They're all going to try to grab a hold of it. Yeah, I didn't try to grab a hold of it. That means nothing to me. I feel good when they're grappling. I feel good with the striking. I just can't wait to show my skill set and show what I'm about. I haven't done what I could yet in the game, but I want to show it, and I'm going to show it. I'm going to show you how to do it.
