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.
It was different in a sense. It was weird. I didn't feel like I was supposed to win that fight in a weird way. I said this on another podcast a long time ago. It was so weird. I randomly got this owl tattoo on my chest. I had a shitty tattoo right here, and I didn't like it. I told the tattoo, I'm like, cover it up. He's like, what do you want? I was like, I don't know. What would be there?

He's like, some kind of bird. He's like, you fucking tell me. He put an owl here. And now it's like, ever since I, uh, the last, it was the Peter Jan for the first Peter Jan fight. I'd sit outside, watch the sunset. And like this owl came and flew and laid on this, uh, or was sitting on this, um, wood thing by me. And I was like, what the fuck? I was so scared to look up what that meant.

Cause I thought it was bad. Like, I'm like, what if that's bad luck? I don't think I've ever seen an owl in my life. Yeah. Well, I looked it up. Except for Harry Potter. It's really, it was good luck.

But owls have been coming in and out of my life in a weird way, like a weird way. And, you know, I moved out to this other house, and I have a bunch of owls that live in these trees around me. So I see them quite often. Ten days before the mob fight, there was a dead owl in my driveway. And I was like, that can't be good. And I was like, I don't know. I didn't want to think about that. But I...

And it sounds crazy, but I was like, fuck, I just didn't feel like I was supposed to win that fucking fight. But I almost kind of felt like a similar feeling in the first Cheeto fight. It was a weird fight week feel. It felt weird. But that first Cheeto fight led up to me getting my title defense against Cheeto, the rematch. But yeah, I feel good. I feel good going into this one.

I feel very mentally, I'm supposed to win this fucking fight. Does the clip of Merab diving into the pond ever fuck with your head? I've probably fucked with his head and landed on it. Rob's... Yeah, he's one of the smartest guys I've fought. I'd say that. So you feel like it was kind of supposed to happen like this? Sometimes you just... It depends. That's where faith comes in.
