foreign feel tonight oh pretty good um it was a it was a tough match AJ you know shot the hell out of me and we kept going back and forth elaborate on what shocked you was it the the chin the strong chin the powerful slap elaborate on that um yeah he had a lot stronger of a chin you know I mean obviously everybody’s seen him get laid down past couple times and yeah he had a strong chin and uh the fourth round he caught me pretty good of course you’ve been in many other slap fights before and considering this one where would you rank it on your all-time matches uh probably second can also considering too that you were a former heavy heavyweight champion and now you’re light heavyweight are you considering trying to go double belt in any way uh no I think I’m I’m happy at light heavyweight 205 was a great weight for me thank you Ron congratulations um you were actually an underdog coming into this on the betting line and you finished as the favorite did that did that did you know about that heading into this match uh no I looked at the uh the circus casino and I seen that we were pretty close to even so I didn’t I mean I knew earlier in the week I was you know a big Underdog but I didn’t know about being the favorite or anything you know comparing this Victory to the one you had over Darius How does it compare uh it actually compares to probably about the same I mean Darius was somebody that I had competed against in the past and you know wanted the Victory and AJ is somebody that you know had the belt that I’ve wanted so it was a it was about to say on the road to the title series you coached AJ now going up against him here tonight um what about him surprised you honestly it’s chin um I did not expect him to stand up and keep going like I said I mean he didn’t hardly take no breaks I didn’t take no breaks we just kept going back and forth thank you during the match we could see uh AJ get like a feel for your beard um what did you make of that um I made that uh you know I probably should shave it down a little bit I guess but uh you know I mean he was just trying to find The Sweet Spot and uh after tonight obviously you became the light heavyweight champ Austin Turpin also picked up a win is that something that interests you as your first offense uh yeah he’s uh I was a hell of a knockout from him so yeah it’d be uh that’d be a good defense against him or um yeah anybody Dana was in here do you retire would you shave your beard uh it just depends on how low I guess I mean I don’t mind shaving it down to where you can find the chin but I prefer to still have hair on my face you had to cut weight for this one was that a challenge for you at all or was that no problem for you uh it was it wasn’t a challenge until I hit about 210 that last five pounds was a challenge for me but the first 20 pounds were they came off pretty easily do you think you’d ever go back to heavyweight no I mean I like 205 uh 205 is a great weight for me I you know I used to walk around around 2 15 before I had to try to gain for heavy weights so I’m gonna stay here I know you’ve had a belt before but how does it feel having a belt again uh it feels great it feels great to have the C by my name again so um yeah I don’t plan on losing that seat this time is there anyone you feel deserves the challenge next to come up and face you uh I know AJ you know maybe a rematch or uh or Austin you know he had a hell of a knockout and uh he puts on a great show awesome thank you congratulations on your win thank you bud they announced that power slot number four is coming back August 9th did you sustain any damage or do you think you’ll be able to defend it on the next card uh I think I’ll be able to defend it I didn’t really sustain any damage um I got a I got a knot on the tip of my chin you know he hit me pretty good in that fourth round but I think it’ll heal up and I’ll be good to go thank you Hey Ron um I just wanted your over thoughts on um on Darius uh you know you guys were basically one and two in the whole entire world for a long time um but now he’s dropped his last two fights didn’t look too good in the last one like wait what do you think is going on um I mean I can’t speak for him I mean he’s probably just got personal issues going on but he is still you know I consider him one of the you know still one of the top tier guys so I’m sure he’ll be back and he’ll be good to go do you think it’s this new rule set that’s getting him like it’s he’s not adapting to it correctly uh no I think uh like I said I think he’s just got personal stuff going on I think he like I said he’ll come back and he’ll be good to go congratulations hey thank you bud thank you everybody
