the jurogan experience when you were thinking about coming back i remember um there was that conversation with you where there was there was a potential comeback fight with ronda yeah how serious was that it was very serious what stopped it from happening so you know how like you know i went um i'm living in l.a um i used to train out of uh randy coutures in um vegas and i had my whole group there right i had scott berry jiu jitsu i i don't know where he went i think he's like disappeared into the woods or something remember on the mat yeah yeah he used to own that store in las vegas yeah him and his brother i don't know where he is like i he's like a mountain man now um chris ben javazzi he's a boxing coach um used to be you know v bucks and coach um still you'll see him um yeah he's he's pretty great so i had my whole team in vegas so when randy or when dana white and lorenzo they invited me out finally like you know this had been like five years ago they said hey we'd like to offer you like you know a million dollar fight with rhonda and i was like damn what took you guys so long like um what i told what i had told uh dana and lorenzo at that time was you know i don't have a team i don't even have an idea of a team i don't have a gym i have um you know i don't think me and kevin were together at that time i didn't have any connection into you know where i would do this fight camp and i knew you know with the weight and everything it was going to take me a good it would take me three months to get the weight stabilized and then it would take me um four months to actually be in like fight camp you know what i mean um just to get back into it i hadn't fought at that time almost like a decade so um i just i asked dana if he could just please keep it quiet you know just don't bring up my name you know give me the time to at a six month time and i of course raised them all yeah it's not even reasonable you really need like a year right well yeah but i was
you know i felt like i could at that point moment i feel like six months what do you know you know dude he was like and i've got gina chrono and it's gonna give me a v against ronda rousey and he started pumping it out on the you know twitter and he pumped it out in the interviews and i was like whoa whoa like calm down like first of all i don't even know who i'm gonna train with so now you've made it harder for me to walk into a gym and just get comfortable with people because now everybody knows i'm looking for a team i'm looking for something right and it's going to be a very high profile yeah and so now it made everything so much more difficult and you know like that's where we didn't get along for a second i was like dude like right like quiet down like if you just quiet down i can find a team and i can get organized and then he said something pretty aggressive over text messages i'm sure you know he he does that and um i was just like okay i'm not gonna do that like it was very simple for me like that was gonna be something for me um and i was excited to be back in that world and i was excited to do something like that i respect ronda and i thought that was exciting um but after like you just can't like go back in that world and feel instantly disrespected on so many levels so i was like i'm cool i'm gonna go and then i think another movie came up and i was like sweet i'll just go do this movie then you know like i'm not gonna i don't need to be disrespected you know so that's that's how that story went you didn't have any inclination to have another fight you just wanted to have the ronda rousey fight i mean i think when you fight you are constantly fighting i have a bag in my you know downstairs in my garage like i i'm you know on the treadmill and constantly fighting people in my head and having a comeback fight all the time how old do you know i'm 40. so do you think you would still do it i mean i still can't even say that i wouldn't you know because you know rhonda said yeah that you're the one i
know and honestly i i feel like she's the one as well if i wanted to you know let's go ladies let's [ __ ] go if you wanted to do it get me a dietitian because i have to do that or chop off in my entire leg i'm sure there's people she said she'd fight you at 205. i know you know me i or you don't know me i would not it would be an equal weighted you know oh i'm sure i know it would be professional i i have no interest in being like uh if you wanted to do it though now it's like last call yeah and you know what i when when she said that i'm like you know i'm so focused on um my dreams in in movie making but i also i guess you just never you never lose that want to do it and you and for me i i've been looking for something to train for to get my body back and and where i want it to be and so there's just been with this little kind of this little thing on my shoulders like well you could you could train and you could get yourself where you want to be and use that as your focus you
