The Joe Rogan experience is an exciting time for the welterweight division to
you know with you having that
beef with Leon and Leon now having retained the title and they're talking about
Colby
But I feel like with a good showing
Against Gilbert you go. You just get the line. Yeah. Yeah, it becomes and Leon
wants it, you know more than
He wants it more than anything just for the history that we have and also we're
gonna sell the most pay-per-views
If me and him are in that cage, it'll sell a lot. Yeah
It'll sell a lot. It'll be a big fight. It's gonna be a gigantic fight
What did you think about the rematch the the rubber fight with Leon and Camaro
a little lackluster, you know and um
Usman
Maybe like there was times where I didn't see him like stepping on the gas like
it usually does
You know and it might have been because he just took this fight too early
I always think that when a fighter gets knocked out you you really you know
And I got this from like the old-timers in boxing
You need to really let your brain and your confidence like heal and come back,
you know
You know because then you get back in and you get touched and you're like whoa
I might get knocked out and you pull the the brakes and you start like, you
know, maybe second-guessing yourself
So I think maybe he took it a little bit too early, you know, I I do think that
uh
He's a in a way better fighter than than neon in a lot of aspects
But leon just has his number seems right now what leon was also super confident
coming into that fight
You know, I feel like once a guy becomes the champion they
They gain confidence and they gain
Ability because they just have this understanding of what they're they're
capable of doing and the fact that it was in england
I mean, it was it was and he had the title. Yeah, knocked him out. Yeah
Like all the above a lot of a lot of factors
You just don't know how guys gonna come back after his first KO loss and it was
a it was a battle is a brutal one
Usman was down for a bit how long after the Kamaru fight did you take off?
Uh close to like eight to nine months almost maybe maybe even longer, you know,
all my coaches wanted me plus um
It was like the first KO of my career, you know
So more so on like not not my body was already healed my brain
But they wanted to make sure that my mind was right, you know, yeah
How long did it take you to get over it?
Um, I still haven't got over it brother. I I want to fucking rip Usman's
fucking
Brains out, you know, nothing personal. I just want to get back in there and do
it to him
You know, I've never been knocked down and I find a lot, you know, we were
talking about earlier
Eve's Edwards like I find great strikers, you know
And they never even came close to knocking me out and it's not that this was
man
But he's not I don't put him in the league of one of these great strikers
He's a great fighter because he could do a lot of things well
But after fighting him the first time and getting his best shots
And I cut 20 pounds of water and I took the fight in six day notice and I went
to Abu Dhabi
I was like, bro, this guy will never hurt me like
He he hits like a bitch and then all of a sudden he's a dude that knocks me out
And I had five rounds with him
So for in that I think it was nine months since the first fight
Did he gain that type of power was just nuts to me?
You know, it was like unreal unnatural, you know, because I I felt his fucking
best punches in the first fight for five rounds and
Never hurt me never like shook me up good, you know
And then boom surprise hit in the second fight
So do you think it was a matter of you not respecting his power as and on top
of that him just getting better?
I I always respect anybody has two hands and two feet
So it's not like i'm i'm trying to do like touch me in the chin and i'll give a
shot to take a shot
Definitely caught me by surprise when when he when he started to load up
I kind of saw like the back of his head
So I thought for sure he's gonna shoot so I start to like drop my hands
And I noticed like midway. Oh, it's a right hand
I try to check hook him, but it's too late already that the right hand already
Penetrated the force field and took my ass out, you know
Yeah, it's uh, it's a moment that happens to many fighters and it defines who
they are how they bounce back from it
Yeah, you know, oh, and i'm coming i'm i'm coming strong man. I feel um
my mind after that fight maybe uh
I'm not gonna lie. I went into like a dark place for a while because like I
said i've never been knocked out
It was just fucking nuts to me like bro. This guy's the one that fucking
literally knocked me out like I was out cold
It wasn't like a like you stopped it early or nothing
I know in my heart of hearts
This guy fucking knocked me out and for me to to think usman's the one that
knocked me out
I never would have bet it that this guy would knock me out. So
It uh, it affected me bro. I'm bad. You know what i'm saying?
Do you ever go to a sports psychologist?
um
I just listen to jordan peterson
Man, that's my dude right there for many many years
I i've never met him. I haven't got the chance, but i'm actually um by
coincidence
He's in florida april 9th, and i'm like
Doing everything in my power to make sure that i'm there like right after my
fight i'm gonna go
He's gonna have a conference down and i'll connect you guys. Oh hell yeah. Yeah,
yeah
I'll connect you guys. Oh, yeah for sure. He's gonna be in florida
So i was like bro. I gotta go. I just want to sit in the crowd and listen to
this dude
I've been listening to him for years on like youtube and stuff
You
