Why didn't know?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
You lie?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
What about? What have I went into the media.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I don't have one miss call for me?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What about when I went into the media and was
like I want this fight and this fight, and you
accused me of like not doing something. What was that?
When last week I go do a video, I'm like,
I try to fight that I want. All of a sudden,
you decide you're gonna do something different. Why don't you
like let me, let me try to help you.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Because you say one thing and then do something else.
That's not true though, that's what I saw. That's not true, though,
that's what I saw. You understand why I thought so?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
You said ESPN got me, got you. They don't trudst me.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
No, they got me.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
They got me. Yeah, because they missed they missquoted me.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
You're calling me getting personal information and then using it.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That is that not betrayal? I asked you to use
everything I do with you. I asked, I asked to use.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
No, you said, okay, this is what I'm gonna do
and I said perfect, and then that didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
That's so, that's so really, that's exactly such a liar. Hey,
who's the liar?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Boys?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Come on justin?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Thanks for checking in with me again. Boy, Hey, you
miss a sizzler since I since I was in Denver?
Have you have you been back every time I go
Golden Corral? No?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I have not. Wait, have you since?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Is that not one of the greatest experience you dinner?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I was like, who takes me the Golden Craft?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Did you not like it?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
They didn't even have fight shrimp or okra?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
They did.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
They didn't have no okra.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You didn't go on the right line.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
They I went in every line looking for. To be honest,
I asked for the okra.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I found great joy seeing you in there with all
these common people wearing your thousand dollars shoes. You were
a thousand dollars shoes and a thirty thousand dollars watch
in Golden Kerral.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I don't know. I loved. I don't watch, and I
do not own a thousand shoes.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We're thirty thousand dollars watch and one thousand dollars shoes.
In Golden Corral, like a wait, what you felt so
out of place?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You? Did you after together with just LOOKU cut my coach.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Did you go to eat after we ate? Were you
satisfied with the I watch?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I went and have food?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yes, So my dinner wasn't good enough for you?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
No why because I was, for one, preparing for a fight.
I was probably like five weeks out, so I needed
the proper nutrition protein and not fight food. Kilding Corral
the best this guy, I would be down to go
back after the fight.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Okay, so let's go Sunday night in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I'm not going to go on baby, Well you just
said in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, no, Vegas, we'll go.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm not going, guys, I'll meet you after I eat.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm here with the highlight justin Gaetchee who takes some
on Raphael FaZe this weekend, dude, another rematch, Yeah, I
mean fighting for zve special circumstances.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I mean it just kind of led here.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, but damn Hooker, this is a fight that everybody
thought would prove to be as violent as anything would happen.
Whenever you heard that Hooker was out, how disappointed were you?
And what was the confidence that you would get somebody
to step in and fight you. I mean everybody said
they wanted Yeah. Boy Condo said he wanted in. Becazeve
said he wanted it. Yeah, Gamro, I mean Gamrox said
(03:43):
he wanted Lion though he said he said one sixty,
but he wanted that one seventy? Who did? So you
had four dudes say I'm in Justin. Let me ask
you a question. I remember when it happened to me,
when people started calling me out, when before they would
never call me out.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
You're the champ.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No no, no, no, no, but no.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
When that happened, yes, yes, anybody.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But no you, people wouldn't call out Justin Gaegee. People
wouldn't say I want in. Do you think that all
comes from the last result where people are like, he's
not as dangerous as he used to be. I think
I can get him now.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I mean, were you surprised that they all want to
fight you.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
They didn't want to fight me because they all eventually
said no. Really, well, they didn't say no, they said
they're too heavy.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
That's no.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, it is, Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Connor, I don't know what the hell he was doing.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
He said he was he was the first guy to
raise his head.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, I guess he didn't think they would call his number.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't know why he thought that they called his number,
he said, No.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Far as I know, I guess I never know. Actually
what happens.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You just take you from phase value.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's all I got.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But the one that stepped up is PHYSI yeah, coming off.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
An injury, dangerous fight, dangerous fight, very dangerous.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And it doesn't feel like there's much to gain in
this for you because you beat them before.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, I mean in this sport, winning, you know, gets
you more opportunities than coming off a loss. Going off
a loss right now, So ultimately getting back in the
win column is very important. And you know they're all top,
top of their game, world class athletes. So in the
way I make it look, you know, yeah, they should
have to consider me.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
If one big victory, especially over a goudy.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Like this, well one possibly too.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
If I have to if I have to fight a
number one contender fight after this, then so be it.
Ultimately I don't even take part in those decisions. I
have a manager, I have a coach, say with them.
When they called me and said Dan Hooker was out,
I said, let me know if I'm fighting or now
I'm gonna stay in the you know, in the in
the mindset that I'm fighting.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
How do you do that? Like? How do you not
allow for things when things change to bother you at all?
Because you're that guy, right, Like even when we're doing
things outside of fighting, you don't let shit bother you
all that much? Like how where do you think it
developed that? Where it's like, it is what it is,
I'm should move forward.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I just think you know, you can waste energy on things,
and there's certain things that you should never waste energy
on it. If you can't control it, then there's no
use in wasting energy. Like it bothers me when you
cheat golf because I don't cheat.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I don't cheat in golf. I'm playing Shadow Creek tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You're gonna cheat the course?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
No it Yeah, it is great. I played Patrick Mahomes
golf tournament. You played two days in a row.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, you just don't like when I actually meet you
because I meet you, and that's what handicaps are for.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Cheat.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well, he the most egregious.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Actually did twice one that I do.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's kind of cheating.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I'm not gonna whole nine and eighteen when I'm.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
In the sand up against the ledge and then you
see him and then you look away, turn back.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He's four feet away from that.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
He's dumb enough to not have picked the ball up
and placed it. He rolled it in the sand. So
there's a line in this sense true.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And then I hit a beautiful shot out of the sand.
I had a beautiful sholmost hit me.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I ran in front of the balls. I do not
hit that ball.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That was a beautiful shot out of the sand. But yes,
I'm playing Shadow Creek tomorrow. But you're fighting physive, right,
You've gotten good at golf, right. How important was it
after losing that fight to take the time that you
took to not fight, Because I remember when I got
knocked out, I got a call to fight pretty quick,
and I was like, I need six to seven months
(07:28):
because I have to protect this. Was that for you?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It's about being confident in your ability to take the shots,
see the shots, and you know there's no way you
could be confident if you're coming off of a knockout
like that and jumping back in there too quick. If
you hum about it is resilient. We'll see how resilient
it is, you know, in the long run. But this weekend,
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Do you change anything in your approach going into this fight,
being that for the first time you feel normal, Like
after that knockout, I felt human and I was like,
oh my god, it could happen to me, when before
I would just walk through any type of shots, as
did you, Like, do you fight a little bit different?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Or I guess that's an answer. I cannot know the question.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I cannot know the answer to until Saturday night comes
and ghost you once told me, but being the competitors
that we have been, you've been being wrestling when you
should never be. Yeah, and you didn't bitch out the
next time, like it's balls to the wall and we're
here to compete.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
You have told me once, and I thought it was
the best answer. I said, what do you feel when
you go out there? And you said absolutely nothing?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Right, Like, absolutely nothing. Do you anticipate now knowing the
other side because we've all lost, right, we've been heard,
would beat?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Do you think that you will still feel nothing when
you hit the curtain on Saturday?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah? Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So that's your hope.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
No, I know that, I know for a fact that
would be the case. You know, the worry, the worry
comes before you know now.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
But ultimately, I think being reminded of how dangerous this is,
you know, kind of that never happens to you, forget
that that's a possibility. I think being reminded puts you
into a more primal state when the fight actually comes.
And I think that's what it's gonna do for me.
You know, it's gonna be back to the first couple
of fights in your career where you have no idea
what to expect, and then with age comes wisdom and
you think you know it all or know it all,
(09:17):
and this is never the case. The sport is so crazy.
Less than it's is less than seconds. And you know,
I'm excited to be scared again.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Because even though he's even if I with Max, you
were this close a number of times.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
That's that's the game that we play, you know, So
I have to believe in my ability to obviously, you know,
be accurate with my shots, cause him to you know,
use my faints to set up those big shots, and
you know, be fight a defensively smart fight.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You were telling us that today it was important you
watch that fight for the first time. But why this
week to watch it for the first time.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I mean, I don't know. I was just sitting on
the couch this onening. I was like, I'm gonna watch it.
There's really not a lot of a lot of thought
they went behind it.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Really.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, I was like, I want to see how I performed,
you know, And I think I think I've performed well.
I think it's a crazy game and that's why I
took the most from and I think you felt perfect.
And he's a very hard matchup for for me if
you're not moving forward.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay, So Raphael, is he right? You guys fought the
first time in London. In my opinion or in my
recollection of the fight, I thought he was ahead of
you in the first Wrong. He's a little too fast,
or at least it seemed like that.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Because you're caught up in the flashiness.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm caught up.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Also said he landed some of these which they didn't hit.
He did land they didn't hit my face.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
You're talking about the commentary, Yes, So do you think
I'm good at commentary?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
I think you're human and it's impossible to know exactly
what's happening in that So.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
When he's landing the thees, you're getting your elbow up
and blocking the Yes. Okay, but I thought they landed yes,
So I was giving him a little more credit on
those shots.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
The judges were seem to you, I certainly lost.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
The first round, well, because you did lose the first row.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
On two out of the three judges scorecards, you lost
the first round, Jester. So it's like, think about this, right,
you're telling me I'm wrong, but I three of the
four people felt the same way.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I mean, he's fucking fast.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
He's fast.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
He's fast, He's you know.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Did you did you feel did you feel like early
in the fight it was harder to track him because
he was so fresh and he was so fast. Because
as the fight were on, it seemed like you started.
I thought you won the second and third round pretty clearly.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I think it was kind of just the way that
I approached the fight. I was like, I gotta be careful.
This fool was very fast.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I wasn't sure how fast he was until I got
in there.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
But I think is you know, in my mind, I
was going to fight him two inches farther than fight
anybody else. And I'm going to control his feet the
whole time. And that's something I have to do on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, and you took him down, which is something as
an NAA all American you have in your bag? Can
we expect more that this weekend?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I could beg myself to wrestle, and I don't think
it would happen. Why why it's not who I am?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
You don't like competitor. If I'm winning on my feet,
that ship's exhausting.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Its very time.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
How long is a call dressing match? It's seven minutes.
This is a fifteen minute fight.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But once you take him down, you were able to
control for zee on the ground.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, it's a possibility. I'm not against it. Yeah, let's
put it there.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, you and I have sparred on a number of occasions,
like not not not hard, but when we're in front
of each other, in front of each other, you know,
we're kicking on the golf course, We're punching in terms
of the way his speed matches up to mine because
I see myself as a very fast guy. Like, what
do you think, like, am I helping you in training?
(12:39):
Am I helping you in training by.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Spoler spawing with two of five DC maybe, but no,
this is heavy heavyweight DC's it's slow, slower, but I'm fast.
I mean you could definitely punch a regular person in
the face.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You know they are hitching. No, justin get them out
of here. I think I can get to you in
a hard lay and prey. It's you think I got
to wrestle you ground.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah, you would have no choice, dude.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I would eat you.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I would slap you, run a mile, you'd be dead,
ass tired, and then with your ass.

Thank you for checking in with man. I appreciate it. Guys.
I mean, were Rafielfazeve fight's Justin Gage this weekend at
UFC three thirteen. Today. We spoke earlier and you said,
I feel lucky to be getting this fight. How can
you feel lucky to be getting this fight when all
you've done is your UFC career up to this point.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Because it's a yeah, it's a second chance with a
guy with a guy like Justin first one the first
time when I fight with him. For me, he's like, wow,
I fight was a guy like him, you know, because
when I'm just before you see I fought, I follow him,
like I like his style, Like I watch him a lot,
and like I said, like all my people who around
me and my friends where everybody I love him, where
(15:30):
everybody liked his style, and almost his fans, all my
friends his fans honestly, and I get it.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
One time, first time, and now I get it they gain.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
So that's why I say, like I'm a lucky you know.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Like when when you when you're in there right and
you have like seen a guy and like you said,
you held him in such high regard at times, it
can be a little bit overwhelming. So when I fought Anderson, Silver.
I look across and I go ship and that I'm
fighting Anderson Silver. Right, So it took me a little
bit of time to snap out of that. Did you
did you deal with that or were you able to
(16:05):
just kind of fight him effectively from the very start?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I think I think a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, I don't remember sure right now how it's uh, but.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Maybe a little.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Bit on the beginning, Yeah, maybe a little bit on
the beginning when I yeah, I remember when I say
when I say him like we.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Touched the gloves.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah, yeah, we touched the gloves.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And he said, like yes, and he said, oh, I
fight him fighting justin Gates.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
You right, a guy, we touched the gloves and we
have a fight. We started fighting. Yeah, you know, it's
it's amazing how fast time has passed since that first fight.
The very beginning to fight. You're fighting, well, you're fighting
really good at the very beginning of the fight. As
the fight went on, he kind of started to use
(16:53):
his experience to pull away from you. Uh, what are
you gonna do to make sure that that doesn't happen again?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, like a like a first fight, I also have
a plan, like move a lot not going to forward,
not bonn and bone, you know, and stay far from
his jip, stay far from the this what he liked
the whole close distance this one. Yeah, stay far from this.
Use more distance, use the timings. But this time I
(17:24):
have to I just have to follow this, yeah, because
before on the first fight, I don't.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I don't follow that.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Like zero, you know at one fifty five. Right, there's
a lot of guys that have been there for a
long time. So it's Dustin Pourier, Michael Chandler, Justin Geechee
now Islam and Serukian has worked his way into that,
and so did you. Were you surprised the first time
(17:52):
you got to fight Geechee because those guys have been
unwilling to let the new guys in. Right, there's this
great group of new guys. It was you ski on
gam Rock, but you guys always stayed like six seven
eight because you couldn't get those guys to fight you.
Were you surprised that he fought you the first time?
And are you surprised that he fight you the second time?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yes? Very surprised the first time and very surprised the
second time. Like, uh, these guys who who you talk
about this is everybody starts like a star.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They're all stars, yeah, and they want to fight just
each other. Yeah. Yeah, but the division has to move forward.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, the division has to move and UH have to
mix it, you know, like I fight ga j Send
ben On Send.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, but you guys started that before nobody could break
in and then when Justin fought you, everybody else kind
of started to mix the younger guys and I.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Don't believe for that first time, and right now it's
same like for me, like wow, I fight take him again.
It's just just second chance and like, well let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
But before it might have been a little bit of
a like I'm in all, but like now it's more
like I gotta beat this guy. Right. You gotta feel like,
now this is an opportunity where you lost to Justin,
then you got injured in the fight against gam Rock, right,
you got injured gainst Gambrock the fight behind, so now
you've dropped to the row. This one has to feel
(19:14):
like an opportunity that you have to win, right because
if one went over, Justin Gache puts you right back
in line where you want to be.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
For me it's the same like yes, I like, wow,
I fight Justin Gage, and like I have to win,
like like a first fight.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Also like oh wow, I fight to Justin.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Gage, and like I have to win him because like yeah,
after after after the win, what this happened to me?
Like close to the belt, can't fight to his other
star and like many many ways to open.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
So it's it's it's both.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
It's both.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm happy to fight him again like miracle and uh
and I and I understand like I need to win.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I need that so much.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Right now, do you feel a little more pressure to
get a victory this time or no?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Honestly yeah, yeah, of course a little bit. It's just
too to lost to lost and mister too lost, and
I don't I not win like two more years. I know,
I don't feel this distaste like.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
My hand is raised.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yes, So so right now it's very important to me.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
It's I can't say this is pressure to me, it's
I think this is more motivate me. Yeah, motivate me,
make it smart.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So you do your training camp in Thailand. You like
it there, huh? I Like you came in here with
a jacket on, like your freezing, Like what is happening.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Row look outside the rain, they will rain, but this
rain feel like snow.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You know. For me, it's a hard time, very hot.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, he's a thirty thirty five plus plus thirty thirty
five the tenitius.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Yeah, I don't know how much in Americans.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Like maybe like ninety degrees. Yeah. So how long have
you been? How long has you always trained in Thailand?
Has it always been at that place? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
From since fifteen, wow, twenty fifteen. I'm there.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm just I do my camp sometime when I have
time before a fight. I don't my camping killfully for Florida.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Henry hoofed.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Yeah, but this time yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, So Saturday we walk into the arena, right, the
feeling of being in there after be it's already been
almost two years, like you said, the feeling of being
in there when you've been so close, because I heard
that you've been offered multiple fights over the course of
this time. You're ready to fight since August. What do
(21:49):
you anticipate is gonna feel like when you first walk
into the arena and it's almost time to get going,
Because that's a feeling that most can't truly understand. You
know that I do.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
But when I start, when I start walk, when I
hear my walk music, like I forget about everything. I
start to enjoy really really I love that, and I
start to enjoy one hundred percent. I forget about everything.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I know.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I have a guy who I have to fight, and uh,
I don't think about anything I'm going And I know
people watching me, people wait how I go into how
I how I fight right now? People waited, people wanted
and uh, and I'm sure I believe like I can't
show them like what they want.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yeah, I'm really enjoying all this time.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Justin took you down last time. It's not something he
does very often inside the octagon. You think he's gonna
try to wrestle a little more frequently this fighter. Do
you anticipate he's gonna stand again? Because I believe he
took it down because you're being so successful, which you strike.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I think he did it because because because he understands
this fight going to to the NS to judges, and
he needed to make some some points for the for
the win.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
So maybe if this fight going the same to the judges,
maybe he try again.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Maybe I try.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Who know, I haven't been working on it, even working
on the takedown the fencer. You you're not a guy
that gets taken down very easily, like, but he was
able to secure a couple. Has he been working on it?
Who's even working with Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, yeah, I working about it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Always always wrestle, like how many day, how many days
a week, Always train my wrestling.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
But yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Catched me on good on good time.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
I remember. Yeah, I going like because I remember.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
One, two three, and he and he go down level change,
level change, and yeah he get it.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, this is an amazing fight. I cannot wait. I'm
glad you got it, my man,
The volume.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What's up, my god? Take it out there. How was life?
I mean I've been calling you.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, it's been amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You don't answer that. What did I do to you? Hey?
Why didn't know?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
You lie?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
What about? What have I went into the media.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I don't have one miss call for me?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What about when I went into the media and was
like I want this fight and this fight, and you
accused me of like not doing something. What was that?
When last week I go do a video, I'm like,
I try to fight that I want. All of a sudden,
you decide you're gonna do something different. Why don't you
like let me, let me try to help you.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Because you say one thing and then do something else.
That's not true though, that's what I saw. That's not true, though,
that's what I saw. You understand why I thought so?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
You said ESPN got me, got you. They don't trudst me.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
No, they got me.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
They got me. Yeah, because they missed they missquoted me.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
You're calling me getting personal information and then using it.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That is that not betrayal? I asked you to use
everything I do with you. I asked, I asked to use.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
No, you said, okay, this is what I'm gonna do
and I said perfect, and then that didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
That's so, that's so really, that's exactly such a liar. Hey,
who's the liar?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Boys?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Come on justin?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Thanks for checking in with me again. Boy, Hey, you
miss a sizzler since I since I was in Denver?
Have you have you been back every time I go
Golden Corral? No?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I have not. Wait, have you since?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Is that not one of the greatest experience you dinner?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I was like, who takes me the Golden Craft?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Did you not like it?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
They didn't even have fight shrimp or okra?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
They did.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
They didn't have no okra.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You didn't go on the right line.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
They I went in every line looking for. To be honest,
I asked for the okra.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I found great joy seeing you in there with all
these common people wearing your thousand dollars shoes. You were
a thousand dollars shoes and a thirty thousand dollars watch
in Golden Kerral.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I don't know. I loved. I don't watch, and I
do not own a thousand shoes.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We're thirty thousand dollars watch and one thousand dollars shoes.
In Golden Corral, like a wait, what you felt so
out of place?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You? Did you after together with just LOOKU cut my coach.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Did you go to eat after we ate? Were you
satisfied with the I watch?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I went and have food?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yes, So my dinner wasn't good enough for you?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
No why because I was, for one, preparing for a fight.
I was probably like five weeks out, so I needed
the proper nutrition protein and not fight food. Kilding Corral
the best this guy, I would be down to go
back after the fight.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Okay, so let's go Sunday night in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I'm not going to go on baby, Well you just
said in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, no, Vegas, we'll go.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm not going, guys, I'll meet you after I eat.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm here with the highlight justin Gaetchee who takes some
on Raphael FaZe this weekend, dude, another rematch, Yeah, I
mean fighting for zve special circumstances.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I mean it just kind of led here.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, but damn Hooker, this is a fight that everybody
thought would prove to be as violent as anything would happen.
Whenever you heard that Hooker was out, how disappointed were you?
And what was the confidence that you would get somebody
to step in and fight you. I mean everybody said
they wanted Yeah. Boy Condo said he wanted in. Becazeve
said he wanted it. Yeah, Gamro, I mean Gamrox said
(03:43):
he wanted Lion though he said he said one sixty,
but he wanted that one seventy? Who did? So you
had four dudes say I'm in Justin. Let me ask
you a question. I remember when it happened to me,
when people started calling me out, when before they would
never call me out.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
You're the champ.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No no, no, no, no, but no.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
When that happened, yes, yes, anybody.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But no you, people wouldn't call out Justin Gaegee. People
wouldn't say I want in. Do you think that all
comes from the last result where people are like, he's
not as dangerous as he used to be. I think
I can get him now.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I mean, were you surprised that they all want to
fight you.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
They didn't want to fight me because they all eventually
said no. Really, well, they didn't say no, they said
they're too heavy.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
That's no.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, it is, Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Connor, I don't know what the hell he was doing.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
He said he was he was the first guy to
raise his head.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, I guess he didn't think they would call his number.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't know why he thought that they called his number,
he said, No.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Far as I know, I guess I never know. Actually
what happens.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You just take you from phase value.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's all I got.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But the one that stepped up is PHYSI yeah, coming off.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
An injury, dangerous fight, dangerous fight, very dangerous.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And it doesn't feel like there's much to gain in
this for you because you beat them before.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, I mean in this sport, winning, you know, gets
you more opportunities than coming off a loss. Going off
a loss right now, So ultimately getting back in the
win column is very important. And you know they're all top,
top of their game, world class athletes. So in the
way I make it look, you know, yeah, they should
have to consider me.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
If one big victory, especially over a goudy.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Like this, well one possibly too.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
If I have to if I have to fight a
number one contender fight after this, then so be it.
Ultimately I don't even take part in those decisions. I
have a manager, I have a coach, say with them.
When they called me and said Dan Hooker was out,
I said, let me know if I'm fighting or now
I'm gonna stay in the you know, in the in
the mindset that I'm fighting.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
How do you do that? Like? How do you not
allow for things when things change to bother you at all?
Because you're that guy, right, Like even when we're doing
things outside of fighting, you don't let shit bother you
all that much? Like how where do you think it
developed that? Where it's like, it is what it is,
I'm should move forward.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I just think you know, you can waste energy on things,
and there's certain things that you should never waste energy
on it. If you can't control it, then there's no
use in wasting energy. Like it bothers me when you
cheat golf because I don't cheat.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I don't cheat in golf. I'm playing Shadow Creek tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You're gonna cheat the course?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
No it Yeah, it is great. I played Patrick Mahomes
golf tournament. You played two days in a row.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, you just don't like when I actually meet you
because I meet you, and that's what handicaps are for.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Cheat.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well, he the most egregious.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Actually did twice one that I do.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's kind of cheating.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I'm not gonna whole nine and eighteen when I'm.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
In the sand up against the ledge and then you
see him and then you look away, turn back.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He's four feet away from that.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
He's dumb enough to not have picked the ball up
and placed it. He rolled it in the sand. So
there's a line in this sense true.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And then I hit a beautiful shot out of the sand.
I had a beautiful sholmost hit me.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I ran in front of the balls. I do not
hit that ball.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That was a beautiful shot out of the sand. But yes,
I'm playing Shadow Creek tomorrow. But you're fighting physive, right,
You've gotten good at golf, right. How important was it
after losing that fight to take the time that you
took to not fight, Because I remember when I got
knocked out, I got a call to fight pretty quick,
and I was like, I need six to seven months
(07:28):
because I have to protect this. Was that for you?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It's about being confident in your ability to take the shots,
see the shots, and you know there's no way you
could be confident if you're coming off of a knockout
like that and jumping back in there too quick. If
you hum about it is resilient. We'll see how resilient
it is, you know, in the long run. But this weekend,
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Do you change anything in your approach going into this fight,
being that for the first time you feel normal, Like
after that knockout, I felt human and I was like,
oh my god, it could happen to me, when before
I would just walk through any type of shots, as
did you, Like, do you fight a little bit different?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Or I guess that's an answer. I cannot know the question.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I cannot know the answer to until Saturday night comes
and ghost you once told me, but being the competitors
that we have been, you've been being wrestling when you
should never be. Yeah, and you didn't bitch out the
next time, like it's balls to the wall and we're
here to compete.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
You have told me once, and I thought it was
the best answer. I said, what do you feel when
you go out there? And you said absolutely nothing?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Right, Like, absolutely nothing. Do you anticipate now knowing the
other side because we've all lost, right, we've been heard,
would beat?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Do you think that you will still feel nothing when
you hit the curtain on Saturday?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah? Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So that's your hope.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
No, I know that, I know for a fact that
would be the case. You know, the worry, the worry
comes before you know now.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
But ultimately, I think being reminded of how dangerous this is,
you know, kind of that never happens to you, forget
that that's a possibility. I think being reminded puts you
into a more primal state when the fight actually comes.
And I think that's what it's gonna do for me.
You know, it's gonna be back to the first couple
of fights in your career where you have no idea
what to expect, and then with age comes wisdom and
you think you know it all or know it all,
(09:17):
and this is never the case. The sport is so crazy.
Less than it's is less than seconds. And you know,
I'm excited to be scared again.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Because even though he's even if I with Max, you
were this close a number of times.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
That's that's the game that we play, you know, So
I have to believe in my ability to obviously, you know,
be accurate with my shots, cause him to you know,
use my faints to set up those big shots, and
you know, be fight a defensively smart fight.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You were telling us that today it was important you
watch that fight for the first time. But why this
week to watch it for the first time.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I mean, I don't know. I was just sitting on
the couch this onening. I was like, I'm gonna watch it.
There's really not a lot of a lot of thought
they went behind it.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Really.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, I was like, I want to see how I performed,
you know, And I think I think I've performed well.
I think it's a crazy game and that's why I
took the most from and I think you felt perfect.
And he's a very hard matchup for for me if
you're not moving forward.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay, So Raphael, is he right? You guys fought the
first time in London. In my opinion or in my
recollection of the fight, I thought he was ahead of
you in the first Wrong. He's a little too fast,
or at least it seemed like that.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Because you're caught up in the flashiness.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm caught up.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Also said he landed some of these which they didn't hit.
He did land they didn't hit my face.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
You're talking about the commentary, Yes, So do you think
I'm good at commentary?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
I think you're human and it's impossible to know exactly
what's happening in that So.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
When he's landing the thees, you're getting your elbow up
and blocking the Yes. Okay, but I thought they landed yes,
So I was giving him a little more credit on
those shots.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
The judges were seem to you, I certainly lost.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
The first round, well, because you did lose the first row.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
On two out of the three judges scorecards, you lost
the first round, Jester. So it's like, think about this, right,
you're telling me I'm wrong, but I three of the
four people felt the same way.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I mean, he's fucking fast.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
He's fast.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
He's fast, He's you know.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Did you did you feel did you feel like early
in the fight it was harder to track him because
he was so fresh and he was so fast. Because
as the fight were on, it seemed like you started.
I thought you won the second and third round pretty clearly.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I think it was kind of just the way that
I approached the fight. I was like, I gotta be careful.
This fool was very fast.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I wasn't sure how fast he was until I got
in there.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
But I think is you know, in my mind, I
was going to fight him two inches farther than fight
anybody else. And I'm going to control his feet the
whole time. And that's something I have to do on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, and you took him down, which is something as
an NAA all American you have in your bag? Can
we expect more that this weekend?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I could beg myself to wrestle, and I don't think
it would happen. Why why it's not who I am?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
You don't like competitor. If I'm winning on my feet,
that ship's exhausting.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Its very time.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
How long is a call dressing match? It's seven minutes.
This is a fifteen minute fight.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
But once you take him down, you were able to
control for zee on the ground.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, it's a possibility. I'm not against it. Yeah, let's
put it there.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, you and I have sparred on a number of occasions,
like not not not hard, but when we're in front
of each other, in front of each other, you know,
we're kicking on the golf course, We're punching in terms
of the way his speed matches up to mine because
I see myself as a very fast guy. Like, what
do you think, like, am I helping you in training?
(12:39):
Am I helping you in training by.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Spoler spawing with two of five DC maybe, but no,
this is heavy heavyweight DC's it's slow, slower, but I'm fast.
I mean you could definitely punch a regular person in
the face.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You know they are hitching. No, justin get them out
of here. I think I can get to you in
a hard lay and prey. It's you think I got
to wrestle you ground.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah, you would have no choice, dude.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I would eat you.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I would slap you, run a mile, you'd be dead,
ass tired, and then with your ass.

Thank you for checking in with man. I appreciate it. Guys.
I mean, were Rafielfazeve fight's Justin Gage this weekend at
UFC three thirteen. Today. We spoke earlier and you said,
I feel lucky to be getting this fight. How can
you feel lucky to be getting this fight when all
you've done is your UFC career up to this point.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Because it's a yeah, it's a second chance with a
guy with a guy like Justin first one the first
time when I fight with him. For me, he's like, wow,
I fight was a guy like him, you know, because
when I'm just before you see I fought, I follow him,
like I like his style, Like I watch him a lot,
and like I said, like all my people who around
me and my friends where everybody I love him, where
(15:30):
everybody liked his style, and almost his fans, all my
friends his fans honestly, and I get it.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
One time, first time, and now I get it they gain.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
So that's why I say, like I'm a lucky you know.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Like when when you when you're in there right and
you have like seen a guy and like you said,
you held him in such high regard at times, it
can be a little bit overwhelming. So when I fought Anderson, Silver.
I look across and I go ship and that I'm
fighting Anderson Silver. Right, So it took me a little
bit of time to snap out of that. Did you
did you deal with that or were you able to
(16:05):
just kind of fight him effectively from the very start?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I think I think a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, I don't remember sure right now how it's uh, but.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Maybe a little.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Bit on the beginning, Yeah, maybe a little bit on
the beginning when I yeah, I remember when I say
when I say him like we.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Touched the gloves.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah, yeah, we touched the gloves.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And he said, like yes, and he said, oh, I
fight him fighting justin Gates.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
You right, a guy, we touched the gloves and we
have a fight. We started fighting. Yeah, you know, it's
it's amazing how fast time has passed since that first fight.
The very beginning to fight. You're fighting, well, you're fighting
really good at the very beginning of the fight. As
the fight went on, he kind of started to use
(16:53):
his experience to pull away from you. Uh, what are
you gonna do to make sure that that doesn't happen again?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, like a like a first fight, I also have
a plan, like move a lot not going to forward,
not bonn and bone, you know, and stay far from
his jip, stay far from the this what he liked
the whole close distance this one. Yeah, stay far from this.
Use more distance, use the timings. But this time I
(17:24):
have to I just have to follow this, yeah, because
before on the first fight, I don't.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I don't follow that.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Like zero, you know at one fifty five. Right, there's
a lot of guys that have been there for a
long time. So it's Dustin Pourier, Michael Chandler, Justin Geechee
now Islam and Serukian has worked his way into that,
and so did you. Were you surprised the first time
(17:52):
you got to fight Geechee because those guys have been
unwilling to let the new guys in. Right, there's this
great group of new guys. It was you ski on
gam Rock, but you guys always stayed like six seven
eight because you couldn't get those guys to fight you.
Were you surprised that he fought you the first time?
And are you surprised that he fight you the second time?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yes? Very surprised the first time and very surprised the
second time. Like, uh, these guys who who you talk
about this is everybody starts like a star.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They're all stars, yeah, and they want to fight just
each other. Yeah. Yeah, but the division has to move forward.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, the division has to move and UH have to
mix it, you know, like I fight ga j Send
ben On Send.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, but you guys started that before nobody could break
in and then when Justin fought you, everybody else kind
of started to mix the younger guys and I.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Don't believe for that first time, and right now it's
same like for me, like wow, I fight take him again.
It's just just second chance and like, well let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
But before it might have been a little bit of
a like I'm in all, but like now it's more
like I gotta beat this guy. Right. You gotta feel like,
now this is an opportunity where you lost to Justin,
then you got injured in the fight against gam Rock, right,
you got injured gainst Gambrock the fight behind, so now
you've dropped to the row. This one has to feel
(19:14):
like an opportunity that you have to win, right because
if one went over, Justin Gache puts you right back
in line where you want to be.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
For me it's the same like yes, I like, wow,
I fight Justin Gage, and like I have to win,
like like a first fight.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Also like oh wow, I fight to Justin.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Gage, and like I have to win him because like yeah,
after after after the win, what this happened to me?
Like close to the belt, can't fight to his other
star and like many many ways to open.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
So it's it's it's both.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
It's both.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm happy to fight him again like miracle and uh
and I and I understand like I need to win.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I need that so much.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Right now, do you feel a little more pressure to
get a victory this time or no?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Honestly yeah, yeah, of course a little bit. It's just
too to lost to lost and mister too lost, and
I don't I not win like two more years. I know,
I don't feel this distaste like.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
My hand is raised.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yes, So so right now it's very important to me.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
It's I can't say this is pressure to me, it's
I think this is more motivate me. Yeah, motivate me,
make it smart.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So you do your training camp in Thailand. You like
it there, huh? I Like you came in here with
a jacket on, like your freezing, Like what is happening.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Row look outside the rain, they will rain, but this
rain feel like snow.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
You know. For me, it's a hard time, very hot.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, he's a thirty thirty five plus plus thirty thirty
five the tenitius.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Yeah, I don't know how much in Americans.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Like maybe like ninety degrees. Yeah. So how long have
you been? How long has you always trained in Thailand?
Has it always been at that place? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
From since fifteen, wow, twenty fifteen. I'm there.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm just I do my camp sometime when I have
time before a fight. I don't my camping killfully for Florida.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Henry hoofed.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Yeah, but this time yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, So Saturday we walk into the arena, right, the
feeling of being in there after be it's already been
almost two years, like you said, the feeling of being
in there when you've been so close, because I heard
that you've been offered multiple fights over the course of
this time. You're ready to fight since August. What do
(21:49):
you anticipate is gonna feel like when you first walk
into the arena and it's almost time to get going,
Because that's a feeling that most can't truly understand. You
know that I do.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
But when I start, when I start walk, when I
hear my walk music, like I forget about everything. I
start to enjoy really really I love that, and I
start to enjoy one hundred percent. I forget about everything.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I know.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I have a guy who I have to fight, and uh,
I don't think about anything I'm going And I know
people watching me, people wait how I go into how
I how I fight right now? People waited, people wanted
and uh, and I'm sure I believe like I can't
show them like what they want.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yeah, I'm really enjoying all this time.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Justin took you down last time. It's not something he
does very often inside the octagon. You think he's gonna
try to wrestle a little more frequently this fighter. Do
you anticipate he's gonna stand again? Because I believe he
took it down because you're being so successful, which you strike.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I think he did it because because because he understands
this fight going to to the NS to judges, and
he needed to make some some points for the for
the win.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
So maybe if this fight going the same to the judges,
maybe he try again.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Maybe I try.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Who know, I haven't been working on it, even working
on the takedown the fencer. You you're not a guy
that gets taken down very easily, like, but he was
able to secure a couple. Has he been working on it?
Who's even working with Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, yeah, I working about it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Always always wrestle, like how many day, how many days
a week, Always train my wrestling.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
But yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Catched me on good on good time.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
I remember. Yeah, I going like because I remember.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
One, two three, and he and he go down level change,
level change, and yeah he get it.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, this is an amazing fight. I cannot wait. I'm
glad you got it, my man,
