00:00 His first dream was to be a boxer, which people forget,
00:02 and he was part of the Cameroonian team.
00:04 He started MMA, I think, was it '24 or '26?
00:07 So that wasn't the first time he started hitting the heavy bag
00:09 or hitting pads.
00:10 He'd been doing it from a young age.
00:12 His dream was always to be a boxer.
00:13 So I know what I'm up against.
00:15 You know, I look at all these small details.
00:18 But I spa, I do my film study, all that type of stuff.
00:22 I keep it professional.
00:23 But on the nights on the night, that's different.
00:25 All that textbook stuff goes out the window.
00:28 And you just got to be relentless, give it your best.
00:31 It's already written in the stars what's going to happen.
00:33 I'm just going to follow my destiny.
00:34 Flawless performance.
00:35 It was a great performance.
00:36 I watched that fight closely.
00:39 You know, but for me, that doesn't do anything
00:45 because I know I'm not willing.
00:47 I know it's going to be a different round.
00:49 It's going to be a different opening, a different feeling.
00:52 You know, we all, when we get in the ring,
00:57 that's when you know the fight.
