you’re not going to be away from the fan sometimes it’s so it’s good for them to realize you know why Daddy’s uh going to be gone for the next week and a half while Daddy’s over there in Vegas making money that’s our last spider uh before we head out tomorrow uh it’s probably one of the hardest sessions we do he’s going to get tired and the boys are going to really put him through his paces [Music] to a point where I’m gonna feel like I can’t get up I’m going to feel like I literally cannot move anymore but you accept it you accept that pain accept that fatigue and you’re going to get up and do what you need to do anyways that’s where you see me go up to a whole other level obviously a tough one or the big boys and then you get all the other guys why they’re fresh just putting it on you the best part about it is when I mean and that one man don’t stand a chance and bacon eggs supposed to be dieting yeah do you want to film something really good watch the surgical position of the way he eats watch you’ll cut a little piece of tomato now on top of that a little bit unless that legs too big it’s too big you’re gonna have to cut it I’m telling you let’s do this and then some mushrooms that’s a small piece we’ve got a little smaller okay as well this is precision if I could have been a surgeon he’s been wasted every bite perfection ism [Music] we’re trying to get some fever to clean my stomach so I have like a high fever cereal with eggs my nutritional Charles from the pi he started to cut my carbs and this one is delicious you put there’s a vanilla extract and the flavor is is really good and then you go to the bathroom well no problem at all right the team is really excited Brandon is ready we’ve been grinding like really hard the development Brandon has many it’s amazing like he’s another person we’re pretty excited for this matchup s [Applause] that’s a good feeling when you see one lashing like Damian Meyer in your gym especially when I have a fight especially because this is my last day here in Florida and I can see someone like that’s good support to me go to my fight and maybe do it the same day and do it with his opponents maybe I finish my fight too right now we’re just like reviewing a few things a few techniques that we need to you know be right on point some some cage defense some take down defense ground adjustments the longer you wait to fight contosia the worst will be for his opponent because he’s just accumulating techniques he’s getting better yes so I’m pretty happy with uh what we accomplished and next week would be ready to go [Applause] you can use that one on the right though okay I’m excited man it’s been so busy training and stuff yeah I’ve got to get out yeah I’m glad I’m good right here yep and then with these buddy cast and just bring them in like a steady a steady retrieve and you’ll see they’ll just spin on top of the water the bass will blow up and hit them okay we’re fishing at a local stream for Smallmouth bass with top water lures called Whopper ploppers so the goal is to get bass to come up and blow up on them and hopefully catch a few today I’m feeling good you know for me this is like super relaxing chill just uh be out here in nature and have some fun see how they come out of nowhere yeah it’s nice to kind of just like blend this with training right like I’m training real hard it’s very intense there’s a lot going on definitely one of my favorite things to do there you go bro nice buddy got him oh that’s not even is this a small mouth put your thumb there and then I’ll pop the hook out there we go yeah well guy he came up and hit it yeah he did he did got a couple uh hooks got a bunch of bites I just like being out here and relaxing and just puts me at peace especially considering that what I do on a daily basis just fight people so kind of need to balance that out we’re at Owen’s Barbershop I’m about to get a haircut you know got the fight coming up in a week so gotta look fresh lately I’ve just been going with like a buzz on top skin fade on the side just keep it short but I’ve had a bunch of different haircuts throughout the year so have you ever missed that long hair you were rocking a little bit yeah sometimes but it’s now that I’ve been buzzing it takes so much effort to like grow it back right so I don’t know I’ll do it eventually I’m sure but you like it does it’s definitely different maybe more intimidating it looked better with the beard too like if you go long hair and a beard it’s kind of like tough it’s like real long and then you know but the buzz and the beard it’s all right brother great great yeah much better appreciate you bro appreciate you look at the normal big ass flight from Australia to Vegas but I mean it’s all right our school got the crew here we’re here a little bit earlier than we usually are and enjoy this hot weather because it’s freezing back home here at the Apex I always love being here watching the fights every time I’m in town while there’s a Apex fight I’m always uh you know enjoying the fight so it’s been good Mel Gibson’s uh in the house as well so it’s cool so we sit right behind him yeah you could do well I appreciate excellence in any field and he’s got the goods I will take a fight I think he’s been to a couple of the fights and uh he loves UFC so I’m glad he remembers me [Applause]
