catchphrase i'm not going to repeat it

in your style

just in case you should do it so it's

time yeah you're fine

can you sum up that 25 years in two

words (

khabib mcgregor fight)

passionate journey passionate journey

ever since the very first day i stepped

in the octagon and february 16th 1996

and by my puerto rico

which was a feat to even get in there to

work my way into the octagon which took

time and the only reason i got in the

octagon

was because i was managing a fighter

named scott the pitbull ferrazzo

who had a lot of a number of really

memorable fights big monsters 6-1 340

hands down to his ankles you know that

kind of guy kind of tank abbott that

ufc like to hire all the time but i had

no interest in being uh

a manager i was deploying on my part to

get into the octagon to announce the

preliminary

fights and from the moment that i got in

the octagon that night

um my passion just started waning

because i've been a martial arts since i

was 12.

i've studied various styles i've

achieved three black belts and

and i fought a good amount of time and i

did a lot of kickboxing smokers fights

sparring you know all the kind of stuff

we all do (

khabib conor mcgregor)

um then i was going to go for one pro

fight when i was 32 and during training

i got concussed pre work

twice and my doctor ordered me to stop

fighting and all that he goes if you're

making money at this i go no i have two
