00:00So it goes to show, man, you're active.
00:02You want to get out there?
00:04And this is about how much fun do you have right now, Jimmy?
00:06Because if you're not having fun at this stage of your life,
00:09what are you doing this for?
00:09I love it.
00:10It's a passion of mine.
00:11I love doing it.
00:13It was very hard to stop doing it.
00:15And then when I heard they were coming back from the residential center,
00:18right away they announced that I started training in August
00:21to get ready for something.
00:22And I didn't think I was going to get anything.
00:24To be honest with you, September time rolled around,
00:27and three weeks out from the fight, they get a call.
00:29I'm like, hey, you want to fight in the car?
00:30I'm like, yeah, I want to fight in the car.
00:32Let's do it.
00:32And at this point now, even it's just a love for the sport.
00:35Love doing it.
00:36Love going out.
00:37Love going out and fighting, especially at the credential center,
00:40especially fighting right in my backyard.
00:41It's like my third time in the credential center I fought last October,
00:45fought in the UFC there.
00:46It's just if you're born and raised in New Jersey,
00:49it's where you want to fight and put on a show.
00:52Yeah, and it's super cool that they do put on shows as much as they do there,
00:56right?
00:56So it gives you the opportunity.
00:57You don't have to travel much.
00:59If you don't want to.
01:00So we got under two minutes left here right now.
01:03So how are the hands?
01:04How do you feel right now?
01:05You said you feel pretty good.
01:07You got just a little bit of a scratch.
01:09And back to reality right now.
01:11It looks like you're already at work already right now, aren't you?
01:15Yeah, I mean, literally relaxed with the kids and the family, my wife,
01:20and then just came back to work to all day-to-day stuff.
01:23I was at the PD during the day Monday yesterday,
01:26and then I was at my school at night.
01:28Just back to reality, like you said.
01:30And then, you know, tomorrow I'll get back into training
01:33and start getting ready for what I have coming up.
01:38Honestly, when you go back, we were asking before,
01:40I really took my time and enjoyed the whole process of fight week, media,
01:45weigh-ins, the mock weigh-ins, all that, the fight itself.
01:48Just really enjoyed it.
01:49I think the hardest part was like, all right, like once I got to the arena,
01:53I'm like, all right, I got everything done.
01:54I was warming up.
01:55I'm like, all right, let's do this.
01:56Let's get out there and fight now.
01:57Like that was probably the hardest thing for me to be patient about
02:00is getting it out there and getting it into the first round.
02:04So you really just soaked it all up, eh?
02:06Soaked the experience up.
02:07Absolutely awesome, man.
02:08And I've watched this.
02:10We've played it on the show a million times over and over.
02:13It's just one of those.
02:14How many times have you watched it?
02:16Have you watched the old fight?
02:18Have you watched the clip?
02:19What do you do with your own fights after?
02:20Have you watched the whole fight?
02:22Yeah, I usually watch the whole fights.
02:24I'm going to get to that this week.
02:26I've been swamped and busy with work.
02:28A lot of things were held off because I was off last week,
02:30so I'm catching up on everything on both sides of the spectrum
02:34and even stuff at home.
02:35So I am going to sit down with probably the kids this weekend
02:38and the wife and just watch the fight.
02:40And I tell you right now, I'm going to say it one more time,
02:43I watched highlights over and over again.
02:45I had no idea he was out on top of me.
02:47I thought he was still fighting and trying to tie on and tie it up.
02:52So I just in awe.
02:54Great stuff, Jimmy.
02:55We always appreciate your time.
02:57Congratulations on another win.
02:58We look forward to the big news and a surprise announcement coming up.
03:02Thanks for the time, my man.
03:04Anytime.
