Mirage is a different style. Yeah. It's a completely different animal and, yeah, I'm going to go in there with just a clear, Just as clear of a mind as I've ever had.

Not really. So I tore my hip before the fight, 10 weeks before the fight. The whole training camp I was dealing with that. It wasn't ideal. I didn't have the training camp I needed to have to beat a guy like Marab. Murab's not someone you could have a half-assed training camp with. I was very disciplined. I was dialed. I was not slacking anywhere that camp.

That camp was good for what I was able to do. I wasn't able to grapple. I wasn't able to wrestle. So that threw me off. But I was still dialed, still focused, still ate, still did everything right. And you just can't do that with Murab. You have to be healthy. You got to go in there with 12 weeks of the right preparation. That's what we did this camp.

It was a tough fight, obviously. It wasn't like a brutal, I limped out of there and couldn't see. He's good at getting people in positions and kind of holding them there, punching, holding, punching, holding. And that's why he was considered such a boring fighter for so long. The last fight he had with Umar was fucking incredible. It was a beautiful performance. I enjoyed watching it.

But that was kind of the hate Marab had gotten coming up the ladder was that he just wasn't a fun fighter. He's definitely turning that around. He's showboating. He's doing his thing. But yeah, feeling like I felt, I mean, I almost finished him in the fifth round, landed a good body shot, a couple of good body shots, had him running around in circles in the end of the fifth round.

So I'm confident that I'm going to be able to, you know, keep up with Marab if not push the pace.

It wasn't even extra noise. You know what was weird about that fight? There was less noise. It was less of a UFC environment. Yeah. Because I think 50% of the tickets sold were to first-time UFC fans. Yeah. So they were there to see the spectacle of the sphere, and it was a different environment for them. I don't think that played a role in my performance. I'm just saying it felt different.
