what about boxing you see this stuff like do you start to think as you get
further in your career
that there's a lot of people fighting going to boxing Tyson Pedro just went to
boxing did he
yeah wow he just started um there's guys uh who go like um that'll fight like
in the Jake Paul
you know in the in that world right do you see yourself ever doing something
like that would you
ever count something like that out or I just I'm 35 and I have you know I think
five fights six
fights left on my current contract with UFC I don't know if I'm ever going to
fight that out
you know am I going to fight six more times and become a free agent I don't I
don't know but I
would love to box yeah so even if you were to go to boxing do you have does
that UFC have to have a
part in that fight if I'm well if you're still in the contract if I fight
whatever's left on my
contract then I'm free agent that can do whatever I want right yeah but if not
and there's not like a
an equal parting then even if you were to go do boxing like Tyron Woodley went
and boxed he was he
was out of his contract oh he was out of his contract yeah I think the only
person who's ever done that
is Connor where UFC was co-promoted it and got a cut of it but it was such it
was yeah against Mayweather
but it was such a big fight everybody won you know that that makes sense other
than that I don't
think the UFC would like let anybody do that yeah because it would open up a
can of worms I think it would
just open up a crazy can of worms we're now Dana he doesn't want it doesn't
seem like help promote
a lot of that yeah and he's built the UFC the brands is so strong now I don't
know if they want
to give any other brands the rub by co-promoting and stuff like that yeah and
we fight mixed martial
arts you know boxing is a part of mixed martial arts but it's a whole different
thing man do you think
it would be something like when you think about that is it something that's
kind of interesting or do
you feel like uh I just like mixed martial arts because you're great on you
know one of your
like even with BSD or BDS I can't remember but he um BSD BSD he it felt like he
didn't they didn't
want to have you on the feet that much you know yeah it felt like it it wasn't
a preference of his
right just watching and every time we went to the ground I took myself down I
never got taken down
once by him I was jumping guillotines you know ending up on my back yeah I
never got taken out
but we we worked wrestling really hard that camp we thought he was going to be
diving for my legs you
know he just seemed a little bit slow on the feet and uh you know if you stand
in front of me he
didn't have great head movement in his fights the videos we watched if you
stand in front of me like
I'm going to get you you know something's going to land that's going to hurt
you especially over
five rounds that's why I asked the UFC for it to be 25 minute fight I didn't
want to do three rounds
because if this guy pushes me against the fence and I lose one round right you
know like I think
the better fighter wins over the long run so I asked him for five rounds and
they gave it to us
yeah what is that what are those moments like when you're just up against the
fence and it just feels
like it feels like two neighbors kind of just like are like having an issue
about something bro fighting
is like when you're not touching each other like when you're squared off like fainting
and throwing
punches that's just like it's it's chaotic but when you get to the fence or you
get on the ground and
you're kind of you know pummeling and stuff like that that's when like reality
sets in where you get
like a moment of clarity like oh shit this is happening oh damn I'm against the
fence he's kneeing me
but like you don't think you don't have time to think when you're fighting like
if you're
scrambling on the ground or throwing combinations and blocking kicks and firing
punches back it's it's kind of
chaotic you're not thinking you're just reacting but whenever you get to the
fence and a guy's
clenching you and you have time to think you're like oh shit that's when it
sets in this is happening
wow yeah because you almost have moments there's times where you see the
fighters kind of look
around or they'll they'll just be locked in a moment and they'll just kind of
engage with somebody
almost or yeah it's it's it's surreal like when that moment of clarity sets in
when when the fight
slows down a little bit it's pretty crazy man because then you can hear the
crowd and it's sometimes
I can hear the commentators like I'll hear Joe Rogan through the fence talking
it's it's crazy
um if boxing yeah so who would you fight if you had to do a celebrity boxing
match do you have any
thoughts on it ever Biden maybe oh dude yeah he's already he already lost time
that's true the bell
might wobble him when it starts you ready fight ding he's like oh shit yeah I
think even if they let
him use like 12 year old kids as smelling salts though I think he might bounce
back you know
or fight Hunter Biden oh that'll be a good one coked up sure yeah that'll be a
good one I'd hate to
fight all coked up yeah
Thank you.
