00:01now as i stated it's a very stacked division you're not a call out you know i mean this guy
00:06like you said you're respectful of everybody but you're starting to get a log jam of a quite a few
00:11dudes that keep on winning fights right you know hatcheson keeps on messing people up man
00:16lex ludlow he's talking to you know he's talking it but he's backing up his talk right so you got
00:22all these dudes that are sort of there's one door for you guys to go through here what do you
00:27what
00:27happens next for you you know is there any and you know do you think you know like what's coming
00:33next who you're gonna fight have they told you how far away are you from getting that championship
00:38shot well it was discussed when uh when i signed a contract with uh with cody that uh the winner
00:46between cody and i would fight lorenzo hunt and uh that's definitely one of the reasons i signed on
00:53for the fight um secondly i don't run away from anybody i don't call people out because it's not
00:59important to me i'll find anybody that asks and uh i don't turn fights down uh you know one of
01:06those
01:06cocky statements i guess a person could say is if you want to step up or whatever but the thing
01:10is um
01:10uh i have my heart set on i know uh that i'll be fighting lorenzo here pretty soon
01:17and uh i wouldn't have it any other way after i deal with lorenzo uh i'll fight anybody else that
01:27feels the need to challenge me you know i mean that there's there's guys you know at my division
01:35that deserve their opportunity sometimes i think there's too many politics in our uh in our division
01:43um like i know jared warren and josh dyer and jomi escaposa i always looked at the rankings and i
01:49saw
01:50those guys for the longest time have been above me you know and i got an opportunity early on to
01:55fight
01:55jared um mentally i wasn't there at the time because i was around the same time that we found
02:00out that my coach uh was diagnosed with cancer and uh so i'd love to you know have another opportunity
02:07with uh jared but right now the one person that's on my plate is lorenzo hunt and uh so yeah
02:16i fight
02:17anybody and everybody deserves an opportunity as long as they keep the work and uh keep at work rather
02:24and uh yeah anybody can get it i guess you can say now you want to keep politics that's the
02:32one thing
02:33i've always loved about sport right that it's not supposed to be political right that you know the
02:38two people compete whatever it is whether it's with a ball whether it's you know it's in a ring or
02:43you know whatever it is that you know money you know money doesn't matter class doesn't matter where
02:48you come from doesn't matter but you know in a fight game that's not really the case is it right
02:53and you you talk about politics is it like tickets sold popularity social media right social media
03:00etc right and that's the world we live in it you're not that type of dude you're not that type
03:06of dude right you you let your fist do the talking you don't let your fingers do the talking on
03:10tiktok
03:11yeah i know it's like social media presence and tickets sold like you know i know if we had like
03:18a fight in georgia i could sell a lot of tickets because that's where i'm living right now uh and
03:24like
03:24i'm not really i got instagram and i got facebook and i don't really do too much talking on
03:30either of those i like the i post pro wrestling stuff things just i don't care like you know
03:38some people some people use their social media as like a a way to uh create this image of themselves
03:45now what you see on my social media is what i what you get comic books you're chill for wrestling
03:51and you see pictures of me in the gym all the time or teaching these bad kids that i always
