00:00You posted on your social media towards the end of last year
00:03that you know, you're talking about,
00:05you know, it was a tough year.
00:07Obviously, like you talked about the waiting,
00:09the things that happened in your record,
00:11but you know, that you're focused right now,
00:12you have a renewed fire.
00:14What does that mean for you?
00:15What is the renewed fire?
00:16What do you, you know, do you,
00:17obviously your performances weren't
00:18lacking any fire ever before.
00:20Every time you step in that squared circle,
00:22you're ready to go, you're ready to mix it up.
00:24So, you know, what is a renewed fire
00:26for Rockstar Richardson, who seems to have fire
00:28every time he puts, you know, his fist up
00:30and gets ready to match up against his opponent?
00:34Um, you know, like just that one fight,
00:37like, you know, I could tell with the long layoff,
00:41it wasn't that, I was like, I always train hard,
00:44but there's a big difference between
00:46training hard and training hungry.
00:48Like, you know, it felt like, you know,
00:52training for like nine, 10 months without a fight,
00:56like, you know, I'm gonna train hard
00:59and I'm gonna train consistent.
00:59Like I'm not taking like down time,
01:02but there's a big difference between
01:04training hard and training hungry.
01:06Like, you know, I was, yeah, I was preparing
01:10to try to keep something instead of, you know,
01:15take something and that's just a different mindset.
01:18So like, yeah, I think I kind of stumbled,
01:21but you know, that was what the first loss
01:23I've taken in six, seven years.
01:27You know, it was, sometimes you need that
01:29to light a fire under your ass.
01:32So like, yeah, that definitely,
01:35that was definitely a wake up call.
01:36And then I felt like, you know, after that one loss,
01:40everybody was starting to doubt me.
01:44Like, you know, does this guy still have it?
01:47Like, you know, I think it would have made,
01:50after that, before the Larimore fight,
01:53I think a lot of guys were a little bit more willing
01:55to take the fight.
01:56And now after this Larimore fight,
01:59everybody's like, oh, okay, well,
02:01he's still not somebody that would really wanna,
02:04especially if like right now, if I don't have the belt,
02:06like a lot of guys aren't looking for this fight.
02:09Yeah, they'll try to, if I've got the belt around my waist,
02:14now they have no choice.
02:15But right now it's a scary prospect
02:21to fight me, especially without the strap right now.
02:24We have just 30 seconds left, but you know,
02:26you talked about this belt, that belt,
02:28talked about wanting it.
02:30If you win this fight,
02:31do you think there's any chance BKFC
02:32can keep you from that rematch?
02:35No, not at this point.
02:38Yeah, I don't know who they've met, who's gonna help me out.
02:40But like, I think it's undeniable after this next fight.
