00:00Now, as you sit there as the champion, is there anybody that you think should get that
00:08first shot?
00:09Is it just whoever they put in front of you?
00:11Is there any, you know, bad blood between anybody that's been talking smack that you
00:14want to, you know, show them why you are the champ?
00:16What is the outlook now for you with that title?
00:19Man, I would say the outlook is kind of nice because now that I have the title, it's up
00:24to them to come to me, you know, which is a good feeling.
00:28I haven't really thought much past, like, who's next.
00:32I'm just leaving it open.
00:33I want to see what BKFC has to say.
00:37You know, there's a possibility it could be a weight change.
00:39I know Feldman mentioned that.
00:42There's plenty of contenders, so I just want to stay busy.
00:44You know, through my entire career, I've never turned down a fight, so I'm open to any of
00:48them.
00:49Obviously, I want the one that pays the most, so I'm excited to see what's coming up, but
00:53right now I have no idea.
00:56A weight change, down in weight, or, I mean, I'm probably, I wouldn't figure an up in weight
01:00to heavyweight, go down in weight to light heavy and fight a guy like Jared Ward or,
01:04you know, some of those guys?
01:05What's the talk there with the weight change?
01:07No, yeah, I couldn't go down anymore.
01:09It would have to be up, unless they wanted to come up.
01:13For me, you know, I had my UFC career at 185, and my body just can't cut the weight anymore.
01:18Too old, you know?
01:21Yeah, over the years, like, it got harder and harder and harder for me to cut, you know,
01:26below 200-ish.
01:28I could get there.
01:29The money would have to be a lot, but hitting 185 isn't possible for me anymore.
01:35So heavyweight, that'd be interesting.
01:36A lot of names up there.
01:37That could be very interesting, of course.
01:39You know, and I hear you on the, you start getting older, that weight doesn't come off
01:44as easy.
01:45I'm living that life, for sure, right now, so I'm sure that'll be a lot harder to drop
01:48that weight, and we look forward to seeing what's next for you, whether it is defending
01:51this title or maybe taking a shot at some of the big boys up at heavyweight.
01:55That could be interesting and present some great matchups as well, but, you know, for
01:59now, I'm sure it's just enjoying life and, you know, enjoying that title, but you're
02:04doing plenty of that beforehand.
02:05I saw some of the great trips you've been on, you know, backpacking out in Wyoming,
02:11doing different things like that that you have.
02:13What's some of the things that you keep, you know, looking forward to now as you probably
02:17get, you know, some time off, but hopefully not too much?
02:22Yeah, you know, traveling is one of my favorite things to do.
02:24I know you mentioned earlier that I'm usually on the Denver cards, and maybe we'll see me
02:29on some other ones, and, you know, that's definitely on my list.
02:32If I can travel and fight so I get paid and also get to see the world, then that's the
02:38best of both worlds for me.
02:39I've heard BKFC is looking at going to Italy, in Rome, which would be amazing.
02:44You know, my grandparents were, they immigrated from there, so it would be, you know, a really
02:49cool experience to go there and fight, but yeah, right now, for Thanksgiving, I'm going
02:54to take a trip, my girlfriend and I, and just do our own thing for Thanksgiving, so right
02:59now we're deciding today actually where we're going to go.
03:02Somewhere tropical and warm, though, because Colorado's starting to get cold.
03:06Sounds like a good plan.
03:07I mean, if they're fighting in Italy, they could arrange those dates just right.
03:10I mean, I know you got that trip coming up to Greece next year.
03:13That could be perfect.
03:14Just a little, you know, jolt around the Mediterranean, maybe cruise from one to the other.
03:17That would be perfect.
03:19Yeah, absolutely.
03:20Maybe just bounce all over Europe, you know?
