Chapter 2: How does Suga Sean prepare for a fight?
We haven't seen each other since... We were saying... When was PrizePix?
I think it was November. Yeah, it's been a minute. Fuck, we've just been locked away. Peoria, I haven't fucking traveled. I haven't done much. Just been here training. Getting ready. Because I had surgery right after the fight. Recovered from that. And then basically I knew... Like... I wanted to get back. I didn't know I was going to get a rematch right away.
I wanted the rematch, but I didn't know what was going to be next, but I wanted to just get back from surgery to training and book something fast. So I've just been, yeah, training.
You've been saying on the internet, like a lot of lifestyle changes and shit. When did, when did that like completely switch?
I did mushrooms on Christmas.
Christmas day.
Yeah, I don't know, Christmas Eve. Yeah, I don't know. That probably was like, all right, I need a... Did you like trip-trip or just like microdose? I did like a gram and a half, I think. And it was like a perfect... I don't like losing myself. Yeah. But I also like... I definitely couldn't have had like a conversation at certain points.
Like these, my buddies walked... Because I was supposed to go to Tim's that night. They were having a Christmas Eve party. All the boys were over there and I was going through some personal stuff, you know, I'm like, I just felt it. Like sometimes you just feel like, I'm like, tonight's a perfect night.
I'm going to take some mushrooms, took some mushrooms, went and I have a bunch of trees on my property, went and sat outside, went and like hugged a tree, sat there barefoot in the ground or on the ground. The craziest sunset. Even if you weren't, Tim was tripping about the sunset and he wasn't even tripping. And I was looking at the sunset at my house because we're neighbors.

Chapter 3: What lifestyle changes has Suga Sean made recently?
to check on me because I was supposed to be over there and like they came over and I could not talk I was just like I just felt like my tongue was fat like I'm tripping like so I was gone a little bit but yeah that I was like I felt like I just need to make some changes in my life just get rid of some distractions what all did you give up I haven't jerked the old turkey.
I haven't been on social media. I haven't smoked. I haven't drank. No gaming? I haven't been gaming for a long time. What's the hardest to give up? None of it was. It was easy? It was all easy. I don't crave any of it. I'll probably smoke again, especially if I take a little puff, enjoy, celebrate, crack a happy dad. I was never addicted to weed or alcohol by any means, so that wasn't hard to quit.
Social media was probably like, I guess I wouldn't say it's hard.
I mean, if you don't have to be on social media, like if you have someone that could do it for you, it's like, that's probably the easiest thing about it. I'm taking a break for like five days and you feel so fucking good.
I was thinking about this yesterday. I went on a bike ride last night and I just felt super grateful for, I sent a bunch of the guys in my corner just a message, like an audio message. I just felt super grateful for the team helping me get to where I've been.

Chapter 4: How does social media impact Suga Sean's life?
And I was thinking about how, like when you take something, drugs, alcohol, whatever side of like short-term side effects, long-term side effects. I feel, I feel like I have, I'm getting long-term benefits from the social media detox. Now I'm really like short-term. I felt like I got the, I was like, Whoa, I feel really good. But now long-term I'm feeling like,
I don't know if I, maybe I just had a baby the other day too. So it's like, yeah, you're probably living in the moment way more. I got another baby. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was six day old. So that probably played a role in it. You know, get going through an intense training camp that at 12 weeks, you know, dot just absolutely giving my entire soul to this training camp. Yeah.
you know being towards the end of it and uh having a baby being off socials just i just felt so fucking grateful i was like feeling like that was the long term i'm getting long-term benefits of this detox and uh feels really good think about how much info to like on social media like you're scrolling it's pointless you're just downloading downloading downloading down you're like taking in shit that you don't even remember yeah right but then if someone asked you like
yo like what did uh this person do like last week where were they you'd probably be able to tell me yeah you know what i mean you're like downloading all this info that you don't even know you're storing i feel like the brain wasn't meant to take in that much info yeah and i still watch youtube i'm not like i feel like that's still like my guilty con like guilty pleasure it's like i still watch youtube and i still enjoy making content like if we got to make a reel for like we did a happy dad one the other day with the boys at the house i'm building it was fun like i enjoy that
But just not actually being on the social, looking at comments, not doing any of that, it's been life-changing.
We're used to seeing you do some trolling, though, before the fights.
Another thing, I just feel like the second Cheeto rematch, there was animosity. I really, truly wanted to beat the fuck out of him. I felt like I really didn't like him at that time. And I had such a good performance. It felt so good. I was like, I'm going to carry that into the Marab. I almost forced myself to not like Marab, but it wasn't genuine. It was just like...
So I felt like I forced that a little bit. And this camp, it's like, I have nothing against Marab. I want to go out there and compete because I love to compete. I'm an athlete. I'm a high level performer. I want to go out there and put on a beautiful performance because I love this sport. Not necessarily because I don't like Marab.
You think that that hatred towards Cheeto made you fight different or act different?

Chapter 5: What are Suga Sean's thoughts on his fight against Marab?
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.
We haven't talked since then, but do you have any regrets about fighting in the sphere?
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.
Could you feel his cardio in there when you were fighting him? I know I've heard you say you weren't. It didn't feel like that tough of a fight.
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.
Alright boys, you guys have heard me talk about the MoonPay app before. I love the MoonPay app. I think it is by far the best crypto app in the game. What makes MoonPay the best is they literally power the entire world of crypto. Just like you go on the internet and buy anything with PayPal, MoonPay is now that for crypto.

Chapter 6: What does Suga Sean think of the current state of the UFC?
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.
You at 6 a.m. is like a fucking owl.
Actually, yeah.
That's the only owl I've seen, but yeah.
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.
I'm not necessarily a religious person, but if you could... I felt like it was supposed to happen. Everything's supposed to happen for a reason. It's a weird thing to say out loud. It's a spiritual thing.

Chapter 7: How does Suga Sean view competition and performance?
Did you feel like you were kind of like a dark spot after the last fight? Did it just kind of catch you like off guard? Cause you were the champ, the man.
Not really. It sucked. Like,
surgeries suck going through surgery sucks because just not being able to train like i had surgery a couple couple weeks after the fight and just like going through surgery sucks like just not not being able to do what i do every day and train and release that kind of energy and coming off a loss and it's it was just like it was it was frustrating i definitely but i was able to grow a lot from that so it was it benefited me for sure what do you think would be the toughest thing for you to give up alcohol alcohol you don't really smoke what about pussy
No, but how about jerking?
Well, that's impossible.
One thing, I could go sober for fucking three months. I don't, like, jerking is... But I got a main girl.
I got my boo. I got my queen. So it's not like I'm not busted. I'm still happier.
But even if you have a girl, it's tough to give up jerking. Would you agree, Stony? Yeah. For sure. You're a big jerker. Like, Stiney will have his girl over.
Okay, I'm not a big jerker. I don't know what defines that.

Chapter 8: What does Suga Sean believe about the future of his career?
Yeah, I would say what defines a big jerker. I'm stressed out. If you're booze at home and you're hiding in the bathroom hitting one off, you've done that. I have never done that. It's fine.
You say you do that all the time.
I don't booze in my bathroom and rub one out.
No, booze with his girl.
Oh.
He's saying if your girl's there and you sneak while your girl's in the house.
You've never done that? No, I'm saying that would be considered a big jerker. Okay, then I guess I fit the fucking criteria. Yeah.
So, yeah, no, giving that up, that was another thing. It's like that chi, your energy. It's like just fucking watching porn, jerking off. It's like you never feel better. You never leave going, I'm the man. It's always like, Pressure than that. It's like a temporary stress relief.
I think when you have a main chick for sure, you shouldn't jerk. But sometimes if you're single, I think jerking is like, it saves you a lot of time. It could save you a lot of time chasing pussies way more waste of a time than jerking. Like sometimes I'm at home. I'm like, damn, I'd love to like bang a chick. Like I'm thinking of like texting her, tell him to come over.
