the Joe Rogan experience it's just amazing you know on paper I was telling
I was telling Sean them all there like on paper on paper you put down my stats
no one's gonna pick me in a fight but then but then there's one thing there's
that there's that mental part and and that hard part that you can't measure
you can't measure the mental whatever no and that's that crazy land part you
know I mean like people don't know what the fuck crazy land is so if they see
this guy like okay well he got a passport to crazy land but this is that all
fucking you know out of ten like threes and then this is the guy he's like nine
nine all nines but he maybe a couple of tens in there but he don't have a
password to crazy and they'll be like fuck crazy land this guy is great and
then
when you go in there you like you find out that fuck most of the time the guys
with the password the crazy lands is uh they're crazy you know they figure out
a
way to win they figure it out yeah like you the sum of all your parts is not
that
like that doesn't equal a championship fighter like the mind is such an
important
part important and I and I was uh I was talking to them outside back to that
conversation I was telling them like whenever I talk to an upper comer or or or
my
friends or I see people training and they're training hard or doing this and
that and I'm just like bro this is crazy like like most of us in the UFC
already
right I was like guys there comes a point where like you're pretty much good
like
everything can get you by you got here already but now the only thing different
that's gonna get you to the top 15 is mental and then from 15 to 10 the only
difference between those guys is mental and then from from 10 to 5 same thing
and
then from champion and everybody else it's a mental it's a mentality thing is
this
something that to do with IQ and something that's the only thing that changed
like
we're all good we're all at the mecca of fighting the UFC is where everybody
wants to be
but what makes you a champ what makes me a champion you not
something gotta be it like you can live more ways than me though you know I
mean
like we're the same if we're the same weight class you're stronger than me you're
faster than me what is the difference what is the difference it I I believe it's
it's
that passport crazy land it's that mental it's that it's that thing like I'm
willing to do something that I don't know if you even thought of doing it or if
it's presented with you that if you're gonna take that chance you know and and
it's
it's that but it's also you're willing to put the intensity into your training
camps and the focus
and dedication into your craft yeah that maybe some people aren't and maybe
sometimes people that
are really talented things come a little too easy for them and they don't want
to work as hard
exactly that's that that's the that's the downfall with a lot of these guys you
know a lot of these
guys is like they're just like all-stars in their town and playing regular
sports you know I mean
shit all the time there's all-stars in the towns whatever and then they go to
the other stuff and
then you're just another guy yeah there's somebody that's faster stronger and
better than you you know
I mean and then when they get there instead of pushing through they they never
had to and then
there's that kid that was like just always just kind of made the team and then
he's there with you
and he sees that and he see you break and that pushes him and then now he's
about he's with those
guys that's just who's those guys who's freak athletes but they all have the
mind but this guy
don't have the freak athletes but he get the mind and he's hanging with them
because he's figuring out
a fucking way to do it you know yeah some of the toughest guys are younger
brothers of tough guys oh
yes oh because you had to take the shit yeah you gotta take the shit you know
what I mean like it is
and they become durable yeah it was it was kind of backwards uh growing up with
my brother like I'm the
middle child but my brother's four years older than me my older brother my my
younger brother is uh
one year younger than me but so it's kind of backwards like it wasn't like my
older brother
wasn't really tough on us but it was a point where my younger brother was like
such a spoiled little
prick that he would always get me into trouble from uh from my grandma like he
would do my grandma
and grandpa so like he would do something and he'd cry and be like no I did it
so I would get to
Lickens you know so I think so that's what my mentality came back like I always
was like
so like even like when even when I fight with my younger brother he would beat
me because he's like
I was smaller than him like he'd beat me up growing up and the funny thing is
is like I told you last
time is that every time uh when my mom when I started getting into kickboxing
and my mom was
telling people like hey let's go we're gonna um my son is gonna go watch fight
uh he's gonna go fight
this week and want to buy tickets they'll be like oh cool who is Clem fighting
and then they'll be like
oh no Clem's not fighting Max is and they'll be like what the fuck like Max don't
fight
like you know what I mean like what the why is he fighting why is he fighting
you know but it comes
because I just freaking I got freaking so abused and stuff I never thought of
that you just pointed
out to me like my grandma and grandpa would give me like this guy got get he
would get away with
murder and I always got it and then whenever he'd do something stupid like
outside we played our
friends it's like there's a place on our street where we couldn't pass and my
grandpa would like
just be sitting in the gazebo and catch my my brother coming back and being
like because he
would go in the main road it's so stupid there's a dirt road I was like bro
take the dirt road like
grandpa's always up there drinking his beer take this damn dirt road so we don't
we don't get into
trouble he's like nah nah nah grandpa's not gonna be there but I know all after
all these years I put
together my winter road because he wanted to see me get lickings so after the
time he's like
Max made me to go with them I didn't want to go and I'd end up getting lickings
it wrapped me up I was like bro I
didn't you told me go what are you telling about like the tables is turned you're
you're a little
asshole bro what is he like now he just uh he's crazy you know he's uh uh he um
we we had to deal
with some stuff like uh uh you know my family and stuff would come from drugs
and whatever my mom and
stuff and except for my grandma grandpa it's great for them but he got into his
trouble and stuff but
he's recently like he's been out he's been cleaned he's been doing his thing so
I I'm proud of him
so it's like it's it's not I always tell him too you know it's not how you
start the race it's how
you finish bro it's like finish strong bro you got kids you got focus now I
know I know you you
think you fucked up but you never let nobody down yet you know you got you got
time and just make
everything right again or try to go get as close as you can to making
