00:00now i saw liz karmouche uh jenna's opponent state that she doesn't think that you're comfortable

00:06striking that that's where she thinks she has an advantage and you're going to want to get the

00:11fight to the ground when fighters say stuff like this you know do you think like you know i've seen

00:17fighters like conor mcgregor's good at that sort of baiting people into doing what they don't want

00:23you to do right so do you listen to do you listen to interviews like when she talks or other fighters

00:29what they say about you or do you like to like not and just block all that like extra extra stuff out

00:36yeah i don't i don't like to listen to it at all because it's like it makes no difference to me

00:42uh they can say whatever they want people are going to talk you have to hype up the fight you have to

00:45maybe hype up yourself and and make yourself believe these certain things to to get to the fight so for

00:52me i just like don't really pay attention to a lot of it mind my own business do my work show up

00:59and you know you can say all you want then we'll see what happens because we all have to step in

01:03the cage at some point and that's where you know all the talk is like worthless at that point just

01:09like we're doing it now so obviously she's a veteran fighter there's a lot of tape out there

01:15are you the type of fighter is your camp the type of fighter do you guys do you kick back and eat
