00:00We're obviously working hard to do that, trying to give them that better life, but right now,

00:06you know, guys are stood in your way, you know, and Robbie Peralta found out the hard way that

00:10it's not the place you want to be. Right now, now you fight Bovor Konnikov, you know, what do you

00:15expect from him? This is a guy who's lost his last two fights and four of his last six. So,

00:18obviously when you just look on paper, it seems like this should be a fight that you should win,

00:23a guy that shouldn't be, you know, a tough, too tough opponent for you, but we know in the fight

00:28game, that's not how it works. It doesn't matter what a guy's record, it just matters how he is

00:31that night. So, how do you stay focused, look past the record, and obviously as, you know,

00:35I've read you plan on just finishing him the first round like you did everybody else so far. So,

00:39how do you go for that knockout, but not chase it too hard? I don't look for the record. I don't

00:44look at the record. I don't really look at really much, but what I'm gonna do, I don't, I focus on

00:50me. I don't focus on them or what they have to offer. I know what I can offer and what I can do,

00:55so I just focus on that, man. I don't, I don't, I don't worry about what people would want,

01:00who they beat, who they lost to, because you don't know what they're going through before

01:04they step up. It could be their best, but I know this Saturday I'm gonna be at my best,

01:11so he better be ready.
