00:00And as we heard, you know, you call out, uh, Mike Perry, who you've called out over and
00:07over again.
00:08Every time you've gotten in front of a mic over the last year, Mike Perry has been the
00:10name that you would put out there.
00:12Um, obviously looking at the rankings, he makes the most sense as the number one contender
00:16in that division, a guy who likes to run his mouth.
00:19So he definitely thinks he's the best.
00:20He has that, you know, King of violence belt.
00:22You want to take that from him.
00:23We've been waiting for a while.
00:25You've been waiting for a while, probably even longer than us.
00:28What are the chances?
00:30Do you think Connor's desire for it now with him being part of the ownership, uh, can push
00:33that or, you know, with their, uh, straight relationship, given what happened after his
00:37boxing match, do you think it's just not gonna, you know, it's going to cause even more problems
00:40with it?
00:41What are you seeing from behind the scenes here trying to get this Perry fight that you've
00:44been looking for for a long time?
00:46You know, at the end of the day, it was always going to happen eventually.
00:49I feel like the promotion was just trying to build my name a little bit, but definitely
00:53with Connor, you know, speaking on my behalf for me asking him personally, him telling
00:57me, yes, he's going to push for, and somebody with, with the, you know, with the name that
01:02he has is going to make that happen.
01:04And I can't wait.
01:05And going back to something, I don't give a, I don't care about that belt of King of
01:09violence crap.
01:10I'm the world champ.
01:11I got the real belt.
01:12He needs to come see me for that.
01:14If he doesn't want to, cause he was in the comments, said something about he wanted an
01:1785.
01:18I'll smoke them there too.
01:19I don't care.
01:20It doesn't matter to me, but he can keep that little lame ass belt.
01:24Well, hopefully that comes to fruition.
01:26I know we've been calling for it on sports good for a long time.
01:29You know, it's been, it seems like it's been made to happen and just hasn't happened for
01:32whatever reason.
01:33Obviously he has, uh, wherever he is in mind wise of what he wants to fight, who he wants
01:37to fight, but there is no denying that you are the best in that division right now.
01:40So if he wants that title, he's got to come through you for it.
01:43Uh, obviously, as we said, it's been a trouble getting that going, even though you've wanted
01:48it, even though you've called for it.
01:49And as you mentioned earlier in the interview, there's plenty of guys, other guys who have
01:52opened their mouth saying they want your chance at your title, but maybe aren't ready
01:56for that.
01:57A guy like I know Donald Sanchez, number three in the rankings only has a couple of fights.
02:00He's been very vocal about wanting you.
02:02If you can't have the Perry fight, uh, you know, you mentioned former UFC guys or other
02:06big names.
02:07Is there anybody else you have in mind to try to make happen?
02:09Or is it just, you're completely focused on Perry and until you know that happens or they
02:14come to you with something else, that's all you're focused on.
02:17You know, it's not that I'm completely focused on him and he's just the only one that's in
02:21the organization that makes sense outside of him.
02:23I don't have any names.
02:25I don't really care.
02:26I'm down to fight whoever, whenever, whatever the promotion says they, they want, I'll give
02:31it to him.
02:32Uh, somebody like Donald Sanchez, I think it's an easy check for me, but it does nothing
02:36to build my name.
02:37But if the promotion wants me to go in there and starts real quick, sign, sign, send me
02:41the contract.
02:42I'll sign it right now.
02:44Outside of that.
02:45Um, you know, it's, it's just something that I feel that I really deserve is, is all the,
02:51all the hype behind Mike and I just want to show people that he's, he's, he's just, he
02:56isn't it.
02:57He can't box.
02:58He's just tough.
02:59And that's it.
03:00But I'm tough.
03:01I'm experienced.
03:02I'm very skilled.
03:03My, my fight IQ is above anybody in this sport right now and I'm just ready to shine.
