You get a short notice call and that's how you get into the UFC. Like very
rarely do guys ever get into the UFC by, you know, like, hey, here's an eight
week camp. And here's your first date in the UFC. That's not how it works, bro.
Like someone pulls out. And then and then so actually, I fought in Phoenix a
week before my UFC debut. So I fought on Friday. And then I won that fight as I'm
taking off my hand wraps.
Someone from the commission is like, hey, man, like UFC is on the phone. They're
like, hey, can you fight next week? And I'm like, I guess I'm not partying
tonight. But yeah, I mean, I'll definitely you know, I'll definitely do that.
Was that an exciting call to get? Oh, dude, it was so exciting, man. So
exciting. Like, was that like the best? Was that like the call? It was the call,
bro. It was a call. And like, yeah, bro, for whatever reason, man, like, I get
really pumped, like knowing that I made my loved ones like really
proud. Yeah, you know. And I remember, like, it's one of my favorite parts.
Like when I do the
visualizations, I do a lot of visualizations of like, what happens after the
fight, too, because it really
motivates me, you know, and it makes me feel nice. Like, I'll imagine like FaceTime
in my family, and my
girlfriend, and you know, and like, you know, they're super pumped for me and
stuff. So that's what that was for
me is it was I remember I was on the phone with my sister. And for whatever
reason, like, it was my sister,
but I was I like called my sister. And I was like, Hey, like, I did it like
they want me, you know, next
week. And then I was like, Yeah. And then I remember talking to Christian. And
I was like, I was like,
watching his film, because I was like, fuck it. If I get a contract, I don't
care how tough the guy is. I
don't care if he beats my ass as long as I get a contract. And I watch the guy.
This is when you know,
my confidence wasn't like where it is now. And I was like, Oh, shit, I think I'm
really gonna beat this
guy. Like, it was like some surprise, you know, Christian was like, Yeah, dude,
what they're calling you for a
reason? Dumbass, like, Oh, so you think they called they you think they thought
you would beat the guy?
I don't know if they did or not. But that dude fought on the contender series.
And they just needed like a replacement fight. Like they have to put a certain
amount of fights
to fill their TV slot or whatever. And yeah, that's how you get signed to the
UFC pretty much is like
some short notice like that. Yeah, it was cool. Dude, I remember I remember the
time I got a text from
Joe Rogan to come be on his podcast. And that was that was that for me. Nice.
It was like the best
thing like I'd assure me I'm like, what am I gonna do? I brought him a bag of
oranges, dude. I didn't
know what to do. People said he likes like diet or something. So I fucking got
a bag of diet. So I
bought him like a bag of clementines and brought them over there, dude. I think
they might have thought
I was retarded, bro. I fucking showed up with a bag of oranges. How'd it go? It
went fine, I guess.
Scary? It was so scary, bro. Really? Well, it was like, dude, honestly, I think
going and that would
almost be like going and being in a fight, man. Yeah, it was so scary. Were you
like, were you more
like, were you like, don't fuck this up type of? I was just scared. It was like,
um, I knew other
people that had been on it, like famous people, educators like that. Yeah, I
don't know. Joe doesn't
care if you like, say that you're gonna be on his show either, right? Uh-uh.
Yeah, I'm going on his
show next week. Yeah. No way. Bro, bro. So I got a text from him or Instagram
message. I know, bro.
And it was, it just came randomly from him. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, you
know what I'm talking
about. Yeah, dude. I like, I was like, guess you text me, you know, like I was
super pumped, but I
was like, uh, in my head though, I'm just like, yeah, man, there's fucking real
legit people,
you know, like smart, you know, like legit people that are like, yeah, they're
like changing
the world and shit. Yeah, dude, it was so much fun. And then also I think for
you to be able
to go in there and talk to a guy like that just knows so much about like what
you guys
do. And, um, yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. I think I was just, I'm intimidated by
Joe as
a person and it's nothing he does. It's just who kind of who I am and where I,
where I kind of come
into huge, like relationships at sometimes I think, but, um, so I think I was
probably kind
of nervous about that maybe. Hmm. What else? Do you still feel that way? Like
even if I went
back where you are, I would feel that way. Yeah. Yeah. I think some things make
me feel a little bit.
It was live then also live feels very nervous, you know, like I wish you guys
at least that's
what I feel bad for you guys. Like, damn, this is live. Like if you can't
fucking hit, you can't
ask them to edit it. Like, Hey, can you just edit this? So it just looks like a
square dance
between two people. Um, that's, but, uh, that's awesome, man. I feel like in
like being alive,
that's like the call to get like getting to go there and you get to go to
Austin too and see
the new place. That's fucking cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hope you enjoyed that
video and you can watch
