I think that, you know, a lot of times that these stories kind of get looked over.

You know, that's what I like to bring it up in the interviews is because, you know, it's just at the beginning where people first click it in their lives listening to what's going on, you know, and gas is the first thing they will listen to.

And it's great to kind of give that exposure to K Live and to you know what you're doing because I know that that's just a little snippet of what you do on the islands for people.

So, you know, I'm really happy to talk about that.

Well, I didn't even realize that.

Well, you know, you went in there, man.

And, uh, e wanted to kind of over that performance you had in stock home.

You you seem like you were in, like, this flow state.

I've never seen you in this from, you know, like it's like, is you know, like how Michael Jordan talks about He's in the zone and you can't miss a shot.

It kind of Yeah, kind of felt that way.

When I was watching you fight, you felt like you're It was just so smooth.

What was going on?

Did you feel that way?

Yeah, I did.

You know, it was I was I was very, uh I was not tunnel vision, but I was I was very open, but very, very methodical, you know, like like the flow state.

Like I was I just had my game plan, but that we've been working here Tim Oyama with court drama and Alex and the team.

And I just went out there and I just did my job, bro.

You know, like, I had things that I needed to do, and I just went in and I did it.

And if anything, it made to look a counter in or whatever when I was Let's just say when I went in there, I was, uh I was, uh, thinking fighter.

You know, I didn't just go in there and just fight and you could tell, Like in the second in the after the first round, Coach Colin was like, Hey, we're not remember.

We're not gonna brought man.

We're not going to brawls.

Okay?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

You know.

So we had different things that we were saying.

That he would say in the corner that would keep me from brawling and to stick to the game plan, you know?

But I don't feel good.

I was like, Wow, this.

I could have made this fight so much harder.

It definitely men.

We'll split second decisions.

You know, that that effects every fight.

And you made the right decisions, especially with the help of your corner.

Kind of giving you those instructions out loud and and kicking you back into gear.

That was your first finish into UFC.

You know, I think a lot of people don't realize that because even in easy fights, right?

Yeah, you know, And I always wanted to get my finish.

You know, like, uh, yeah, of course, the W right.

But the problem was just getting a WC the anxiety of the judges.
