00:00How much does the experience in the different places
00:03you have been with this mean to you?
00:06Besides just the wins and losses,
00:07how much is that, the experience,
00:09the different venues, and the different areas you have been,
00:12how much does that mean?
00:15The legacy you're talking about,
00:16the historical aspect of it completely,
00:19and that's the most important part is leaving my mark.
00:22You know, I think every fighter wants to be remembered,
00:25and I'm definitely gonna be remembered in bare knuckle.
00:28I'm putting in work.
00:29I'm young. I'm still young.
00:31I'm 33 years old, and I got no injuries.
00:34I'm ready to fight, and I'm ready to fight
00:36for another 15 years or so.
00:39This sport was built for me, so I just...
00:41It means everything.
00:42This is my whole entire life.
00:45I sacrifice time away from my family,
00:48away from, you know, things and people I love
00:52to be the best I can be.
00:55So I'm not, you know,
00:57I'm not in competition with anyone when I say
01:00I came up a troubled, disabled youth,
01:03and to be where I'm at now
01:05and to have the confidence that I've gained
01:07from fighting and being a part
01:09of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship,
01:11you know, I'm living my dream.
01:13I watched a show earlier today,
01:15randomly came up, Friday Night SmackDown,
01:18July 12, 2001.
01:20I believe it was July 12,
01:22and it was a Friday Night SmackDown,
01:24and it was July 11th or 12th,
01:26and it was at the venue,
01:28the LaCovia 7 that I'm fighting at in Philly.
01:32So I was like, oh, my God.
01:34Were you watching Triple H as a kid?
01:36It's where you're fighting now,
01:38being through Mohegan and fighting in Sturgis,
01:41just these big venues.
01:42I feel like a superstar.
01:46I feel like an absolute superstar.
01:48You put on a superstar performance
01:50every time you get out there as well,
01:51give the fans exactly what they're looking for
01:53when they look for a Bare Knuckle fight.
01:55We got just under a minute here.
01:57You talk about rising up in the BKFC.
01:58This four-in-a-row wins right now by finish.
02:02This could be your fifth.
02:03Still, no love in the rankings.
02:05I mean, we got guys like Copen and Watson
02:06who are on that Sturgis card with you,
02:08one of them who lost, still in the top five.
02:10You're not.
02:11Does it frustrate you that you're not getting
02:12the respect that you think you deserve
02:13getting into those rankings
02:14and maybe getting into the title picture?
02:16I'm not frustrated with anything.
02:19I'm just happy to put on a performance.
02:21I'm a company man, and they know that.
02:24I'm just happy to come out there and fight.
02:27I'm not lining anybody up.
02:28I'm not talking anybody down.
02:30I'm not proposing or building anything in my mind.
02:34Whatever they have for me, I'm ready for.
02:36And that's, with the growth of the company,
02:38you never know what you're going to see next.
02:40You know what I mean?
02:41There's a variety of things coming this year.
02:44I promise.
