Speaker 1 Very early in my career, I kind of shot out real fast.

Speaker 1 And that was against JDS.

Speaker 1 And I just went out, guns were blazing, and ended up... You got gassed? Nah, I ended up getting clipped.
Oh, shit. And he dropped me.
And then next minute I remember waking, my eyes opened.

Speaker 1 And I just saw his elbow hit me in the face. And I was like, yeah, fuck.

Speaker 1 All right, guys, we got Ty here from Australia. Let's go, man.
How are you, bro? Long flight. Very long flight.

Speaker 1 I've been over here for a little bit now, so

Speaker 1 I'm definitely ready to go home. You up or down gambling?

Speaker 1 From last night, definitely down. Oh.

Speaker 1 But I haven't

Speaker 1 been out to the casino much. I'm staying there, but haven't been down there until last night.
Do you gamble a lot in general?

Speaker 1 Nah, but when I do, I kind of do.

Speaker 1 I've kind of got that personality in anything I do. You got that addictive personality? Oh, yeah.
Fucked.

Speaker 1 That's probably why you're good at fighting at least you like fighting right i definitely like fighting i like the i like the i like the fight of fighting when did that start oh since young i grew up in a in a big household so

Speaker 1 i was fighting around 11 siblings right yeah that's insane it's unheard of these days i i'm an island uh that's to my son

Speaker 1 with someone so it's kind of normal it's normal out there huh yeah i'm an only child you're the only child? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 How's that? Honestly, it kind of sucked. Yeah.
Kind of lonely. I wish I had some siblings.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you have too many.

Speaker 1 Are you close with all of them? Yeah, we're pretty close. Yeah.
So it's good.

Speaker 1 We're a tightening family. Are any of them fighters too?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 So just you had that anger in you?

Speaker 1 My brother, we definitely had it.

Speaker 1 Depending on which one definitely has it. My little brother actually is a boxer.

Speaker 1 He's still young. He's only 14, but he's definitely

Speaker 1 got it in him.

Speaker 1 So I think he's probably going to be the next one. Did you start off with boxing or you went straight into mixed marketing? My dad was a boxer.

Speaker 1 So we always trained

Speaker 1 boxing and stuff like that or to how to defend ourselves. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So you just grew up in the fight scene?

Speaker 1 I wouldn't say in the fight scene, but I grew up fighting yeah when did Dana make the call to you Dana she I don't even think I ever talked to Dana like really back then nah I we had uh

Speaker 1 we had Mick Maynard he's Aussie so he kind of

Speaker 1 looks after the Aussie fighters I think You got the call and then what was that first fight like? Was it a big change for you?

Speaker 1 I went through a very big change in my life at that time.

Speaker 1 I was kind of mixed up in still what I was doing, and which wasn't too much. And then I had to kind of figure out what I wanted to do.
And

Speaker 1 I found out I was having a kid and I had to make the choice. Damn, so you had to go all in.
Yeah, I went all in, and then

Speaker 1 I had a fight

Speaker 1 and he snapped to get into the UFC.

Speaker 1 So that was my title defense in Australia.

Speaker 1 And he snapped my knee. Holy crap.

Speaker 1 So, and then I went to the UFC meeting and I signed a contract with a fucked knee. And they asked me, could I fight in four weeks? And I said,

Speaker 1 I don't think I could probably fight.

Speaker 1 I said, I probably won't fight for a year. So I was kind of hyped up.
I got signed. And then there was a bit of a hype up by like.

Speaker 1 Bam Bam from Australia signed. He's meant to be pretty good.
And then it kind of died off.

Speaker 1 because I fucked my knee. Damn.
So you never felt the same after that?

Speaker 1 No, I still feel normal.

Speaker 1 I just went through a very, very rough time.

Speaker 1 So I had my knee surgery. I snapped

Speaker 1 everything except the ACL. Holy crap.
And then when I woke up from the surgery,

Speaker 1 I could only feel one arm. Jeez, you were paralyzed.
Well, yeah, I kind of lost feeling to my whole right arm for about six months. Oh, my my gosh.
Was that supposed to happen? Definitely not.

Speaker 1 So they just messed up. Yeah, I think they fucked up.
It was a public... It was a...
I don't know. Sounds like a lawsuit.
So, yeah, that's crazy, though. I didn't know that happened to you.

Speaker 1 Six months of no feeling in the arms. And then at this time, I was having,

Speaker 1 I had my son.

Speaker 1 So I was

Speaker 1 kind of fucked up there for a bit. Yeah.
Crazy timing having a kid while the worst injury of your life.

Speaker 1 Cool.

Speaker 1 Life's going on. Yeah, and then when I signed the first fight,

Speaker 1 my arm wasn't fully working. Cheers.

Speaker 1 So I just kind of put my head down and said,

Speaker 1 I got to do this.

Speaker 1 Did you win that fight? I did. Flying knee.
Couldn't use your arms. You had to use your knee.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So it was funny.

Speaker 1 I went through a very rough time and then kind of

Speaker 1 once it was over, it was kind of a big light. Yeah.
How many fights did you win like in a row after you got signed? Three or four. Okay.
And then who was your first loss?

Speaker 1 I headlined in Adelaide. So I've headlined, I headlined a show in Australia,

Speaker 1 which was a really big thing for me. And it was my first headline.

Speaker 1 And it was kind of like

Speaker 1 very early in my career, I kind of shot out real fast.

Speaker 1 And that was against JDS.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I just went out, guns blazing, and ended up. You got gassed? No, I ended up getting clipped.
Oh, shit. And he dropped me.
And then

Speaker 1 next minute I remember awake. I just, my eyes opened, and he, I just saw his elbow hit me in the face.
I was like, yeah, fuck.

Speaker 1 Jeez. Yeah, this doesn't look too good.
Was that your toughest opponent?

Speaker 1 I wouldn't say toughest opponent. There's definitely a big learning curve.
I'm still learning. I'm still learning a lot in this sport.
Yeah. I wouldn't class myself as a

Speaker 1 proper MMA athlete. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm kind of more just

Speaker 1 a bluer, a fighter.

Speaker 1 What do you think is uh separation there between you and like the professional i kind of don't like

Speaker 1 watch it or i'm into it as much as other people

Speaker 1 i just like the the battle of it the the mental battle or i don't know the whole thing the the getting in there and and proving yourself i i kind of like that bit more i don't know it's really weird so you're not as technical basically I wouldn't say I wouldn't say not technical.

Speaker 1 I just say wouldn't not as interested. Interesting.
So you don't like watching like John Jones or? I don't watch any fighting. What? If I do watch fighting,

Speaker 1 it's gypsy fights and like bare knuckle.

Speaker 1 Have you ever watched gypsy fights? No, I've watched bare knuckle. Have you ever watched gypsy call outs? No, it's not.
Oh my gosh. The gypsies on the streets you're talking about? So gy gypsies like

Speaker 1 Irish gypsies and and like English gypsies. And like they do call outs.
So they they call people out on video.

Speaker 1 It's fucking hilarious. You gotta watch it.
I gotta watch that. Once you watch one, you're going to just sit there and rabbit hole.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's so funny. I like Bare Knuckle, though.
Bare Knuckle is cool. That's insane.
They're kind of taking over a little bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they seem like they're riding the wave because no one's been able to challenge the UFC, but

Speaker 1 they might be next. Yeah, I think it'd be hard to challenge the UFC.
They got a monopoly, right?

Speaker 1 They're a boss. I think they were the first to market, so they just have a big advantage.
I think Dan is is very smart as well. Yeah.
And the way he's moved.

Speaker 1 What's something you've learned from him just watching him over the years?

Speaker 1 Look at the UFC. Look what he's done.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Not just that. The UFC as a whole is run

Speaker 1 to a T.

Speaker 1 Like everything's on time.

Speaker 1 Fights are on time. All the workers are always on point.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They run a tight ship over there. You see he's getting into boxing now? I see that.
Saudi Arabia. I see that.

Speaker 1 crazy money out there very crazy money you might have to get out there man um uh i'm i'm definitely not saying no

Speaker 2 um i want to get back uh you know i want to get back in the gym and and get focused on fighting and then get that out of the way and see what's next you got any uh opponents this year you want to fight go after uh this year i'm gonna i'm gonna sit out i'm gonna train when i get back and get in shape i'm a bit fat at the moment yeah but i've done shout out to kimsto today's sponsor you know when we first started building our brand online i had to teach myself everything from marketing to monetization but one of the biggest pain points hosting it felt like i needed a computer science degree just to keep our site running smoothly that's why we switched to kinsta and honestly it's been a game changer kinsta managed wordpress hosting takes all the stress off your plate you get blazing speed enterprise level security and a dashboard that's actually fun to use no outdated clutter just clean intuitive control and let me tell you when things go sideways i don't want to deal with a chat bot or some some copy-pasted script.

Speaker 1 Definitely been enjoying my time off.

Speaker 1 Obviously, dropped my company, Bam Bam Buds, cannabis company here in America. So I've been busy doing other things and just

Speaker 1 the fighting, I've been giving the rest. I've kind of been on a losing streak.
So it's just I needed a reset. Has that been tough on you mentally, the losing streak?

Speaker 1 Fuck yeah. Losing's always shit.
Yeah. No one likes losing.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I think it's how we dust ourselves off and

Speaker 1 go back at it again.

Speaker 1 Yeah. five losses straight.
That's the longest for you. Yeah, fuck.
It's crazy. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 Shit. You had a lot of wins before that, at least.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Fucking always up and down. That's life, though.
Very life. Very life.
It's rare to go undefeated these days as a fighter. Yeah.
Only John Jones, right? And Khabib recently. There's a few.
I just...

Speaker 1 I don't think it's always been me. I'm always a win or lose.

Speaker 1 Sometimes win, sometimes lose. Well, with your weight clouds, it's tough.

Speaker 1 yeah one punch is all it takes definitely that's definitely true and definitely i think the the the time off that i'm having right now is good because

Speaker 1 the weight class is pretty shit at the moment oh yeah well that's what i think who's the champ right now of the weight class

Speaker 1 john jones isn't it or thomas

Speaker 1 jones yeah he's got one more fight i think i think he yeah they're trying to fight tom but i don't know if it happened who would you think who do you think would win that

Speaker 1 i think if there's anyone to beat jones it would be Tom.

Speaker 1 He's a lot younger. Yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah. Jones in his prime, I think, would destroy him, but right now, anyone, anyone's ever been Jones? Yeah, he's got one foot out the door now.
He's getting up there in age.

Speaker 1 He's on his way out, that's for sure. You think he's the goat?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 definitely. Yeah, I don't think it's close.
Yeah, not fighting. He does some crazy shit outside the ring, but so do you.

Speaker 1 Everyone does some crazy shit.

Speaker 1 Everyone does their their own thing you australians are wild man aussies are pretty wild whenever i have aussies on the pod they ask me you come to the club tonight with us i'm like hell no yeah you're not going there with aussies i don't party you don't party i don't you don't drink i drink a little bit a couple times a year i got hammered the other night playing darts so you do drink yeah a couple times a year damn you know having down the north yeah

Speaker 1 yeah you're not going there with aussies no i wouldn't last yeah you go pretty crazy. We love to party.
You do.

Speaker 1 I wonder why. You guys are just trapped on the island out there.
It's bored.

Speaker 1 I don't know, actually. It's kind of like a weird

Speaker 1 party culture. I've been around the world and I've partied around as well.
And it's like, yeah, Aussies are different. Yeah.
You guys are a different breed. Where else has good parties, though?

Speaker 1 You've been around the world. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Shit. Europe, Europe, Europe can party.

Speaker 1 Dubai is fun. Dubai can party? Yeah, really.
Dubai's cool. I thought it was strict over there.

Speaker 1 It has its rules, but it also doesn't.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of fun. They definitely have the best venues.
Yeah, they got money out there. Oh, yeah.
You got to spend some money, though. That's the only thing.

Speaker 1 Were you fighting out there or you were just chilling? I actually moved over there

Speaker 1 and stayed there while COVID hit in Australia just because the rules were a lot lenient there. So I trained and that's where I kind of went on

Speaker 1 my run there for a little bit. Okay.
I don't know to Dubai. I got to get out there, man.
I love Dubai. Dubai's awesome.
You like Australia more than the U.S.?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, definitely. Really? I'm an Aussie, but not even just that.
Like, I've

Speaker 1 been eating some fat food a little bit. Fuck.

Speaker 1 I don't know if anyone knows that, but the food here is not real.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I mean, there's a reason a lot of us are fat here.

Speaker 1 Shit, I'm fat too, but it's just

Speaker 1 we're very lucky as Australians. And even New Zealand, I think anywhere over that world, side of the world, we've got such good produce.

Speaker 1 Love me some Australian wagyu.

Speaker 1 That shit's good. I can't wait to get home, cook me a steak.
Yeah, I prefer a wagyu over there than most of the steakier. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, I think the best meats around the world that are sold are from Australia anyway. Are they? I'd say so.
You're buying stuff. You're paying fucking $400 for Australian steak.
Damn.

Speaker 1 You can pay for 20 bucks down at the pub. Holy crap.
So that's probably one of your biggest exports for Australia.

Speaker 1 I think it would be up there. That's nuts.
I like New Zealand too. I've been there.
New Zealand's beautiful. Yeah, the food was great out there.
Beautiful food in New Zealand.

Speaker 1 People out there were really nice too. Very good.
Australia is too hot for me, man. Too hot? Yeah.
You live in Vegas.

Speaker 1 I just moved here, but yeah. But you just moved.
Where are you from? Jersey.

Speaker 1 You've been out there? I was just there. Really? Bro, we got an Airbnb.
We were staying right in the hood.

Speaker 1 Why would you do that? Nuah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 You stayed in Newark? Newah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, bro.

Speaker 1 We turned in the street. These two girls were shaping up.
Oh, my gosh. Bro, we were laughing.

Speaker 1 why would you pick newark well we actually got this spot in like in manhattan and we couldn't even open our bags so couldn't open it it was too it was so small like they put like three rooms in this little

Speaker 1 and we had to get out i said i'm taking me to the hood i'd rather yeah at least we got some room manhattan's expensive manhattan was expensive man i don't think i think the i think the room

Speaker 1 in newark for one night was was as much as

Speaker 1 you could pay like three nights for one night

Speaker 1 easily. Yeah.
Jersey slept on, though. It's a good state.

Speaker 1 Not Newark, but.

Speaker 1 I definitely need to go back and experience the. Yeah, that does a talent as Jersey.
But my last experience was a bit...

Speaker 1 People only go there to fly.

Speaker 1 Fly out. That's where the airport is.
Oh, yeah. Newark.
That's it, though. And you're not there for any other reason.
Yeah, I would say that, too.

Speaker 1 The neighborhoods in Australia are anywhere like that and they're all safe over there oh no definitely depends where you go

Speaker 1 uh where i grew up was pretty pretty rough but that's home yeah

Speaker 1 um

Speaker 1 definitely not like uh america we don't have the numbers

Speaker 1 um

Speaker 1 we've got 28 million people of the whole country so yeah there's some states

Speaker 1 yeah la's got more so crazy we're definitely a lot smaller

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 you like LA?

Speaker 1 I like LA, but it's kind of, I wouldn't, it's not really.

Speaker 1 It's not really,

Speaker 1 it wouldn't be like my spot. Yeah.
I don't know. I think it's just a bit

Speaker 1 full-on and a bit. Yeah.
People care about social media there a lot. People care about it? Like their followers and their.
Oh, yeah. See, I wouldn't go, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't, I don't follow any of that shit. Yeah.
They care about their look, their image. Yeah, I need to care about mine.

Speaker 1 It's a really materialistic city, though. Yeah.

Everyone's faking it, probably. Yeah, there's a lot about.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's one of the downsides of social media, right?

Speaker 1 I'd say so.

Speaker 1 Seen some people that are really big on social media, but like...

Speaker 1 They really ain't doing shit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's usually most people with a big following. You know, they got to like make up for it somehow.
Yeah. It's unfortunate.
Well, what else is next for you this year, man?

Speaker 1 You're not fighting, so you're just going to.

Speaker 1 Well, I've been busy with this.

Speaker 1 This has been a bit of a long process, but

Speaker 1 still learning a lot about the game.

Speaker 1 Really just to foot in to get started, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I've been spending time with my son,

Speaker 1 family time.

Speaker 1 But when I get back, I'm going to get back into training and I want to book a fight for next year. I'll start early next year.
Yeah. You want more kids? Oh, that's a good question.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I wouldn't want more kids.
I think I just need to work more. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're expensive, right? Yeah. I grew up in a big family, so it's kind of, I know how it is.
Like, I want to be set up a little bit more. Yeah.
Yeah. You grew up with 10, 11 siblings.

Speaker 1 So you got to catch up, man. Let's see.
Oh, I don't think I'm going that hard. Well, my brothers have got like four or five apiece.
Damn. Trump just offered 5K if you have a kid out here now.
5K?

Speaker 1 Yeah, today. Shit, you'll sign me up.
It goes to the woman, though. Oh, it goes to the woman.
Yeah. So they get five grand ahead now because we're losing numbers here.

Speaker 1 We used to do, we had a baby bonus in Australia, so it's kind of like a baby bonus. Yeah.
But where's that? Just in those, in Vegas? In America. In America.
Yeah, because our numbers are dropping.

Speaker 1 We're not having enough sex. So like we're, uh, more people are dying than are being born right now.

Speaker 1 why do you think the noise sex

Speaker 1 i don't know it's weird i've been fine but yeah other people

Speaker 1 yeah i mean i'm chilling that's good other people though they're not uh having kids okay it's not sex i think it's having kids people are having sex but they're not having kids i think that's what it is

Speaker 1 so americans are shooting blanks shooting blanks or just wearing condoms i don't know

Speaker 1 people just don't want kids out here i don't know if australia has that issue right now but

Speaker 1 I haven't looked into it that much. Yeah, it's concerning, though, because you can't grow as a country if your numbers are going down.

Speaker 1 True. You know, you guys got to catch up to us.
You're at 28 million. Yeah, we're, we're, we're way behind.
300 million over here or something like that. But we're so far away.

Speaker 1 And you can't kind of live in the middle of Australia.

Speaker 1 So.

Speaker 1 You guys have some dangerous animals out there. I always see these crazy videos.
Do you actually see those when you're out there? Depends where you are.

Speaker 1 Those poisonous animals yeah we see snakes and stuff yeah like it depends where you live if you live in some

Speaker 1 like one spot you might have all of them have you ever had an incident with one of those no that's

Speaker 1 i keep my ass near the street lights you ever box a kangaroo hell no that looks fun right yeah that'll probably run my fat ass down and jump on my back you could take

Speaker 1 you could take a kangaroo i'd have a crack they got big big nails though yeah those look sharp big claws things Damn. When I went out there, I ate one of them.
You ate it every

Speaker 1 day you like it? Yeah, it's good. Very tough.
I had it in a burger

Speaker 1 at the zoo.

Speaker 1 At the zoo? Yeah, right next to the zoo. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So the restaurant.

Speaker 1 They're playing up. Yeah, it was right next to the Melbourne zoo.
Ate the burger, went to the zoo and pet a kangaroo there. They had a little Joey there.
It was cool.

Speaker 1 This is kind of like the full circle. Yeah.
Got to experience it on both sides. You know,

Speaker 1 my fiancé was pissed.

Speaker 1 She wasn't. There's so many of them over there.
You got to eat them. Yeah,

Speaker 1 they're kind of like pests. That's what I heard.
Well, they just fuck all the time. So

Speaker 1 they're not running out. There's more of them than people, right?

Speaker 1 That's what I heard.

Speaker 1 There you go, man. Yeah.
You got to. Can you hunt them there? Is that legal?

Speaker 1 I suppose so. Okay.

Speaker 1 you're not a hunter. No, I told you, I'm staying near the streetlights.

Speaker 1 Man, hunting's big out here. Hunting, yeah, hunting is big, hunting's big in Australia as well.
It's just kind of normal thing. Yeah, you just stay in your lane.
