And he showed his true colors for the money, for the pay-per-view.

He'd talk about my kids, my family, to maybe sell extra pay-per-views.

I had competed against Gilbert Melendez I was an established pro when he came over American top team I Was living up at American top team.

I had an apartment over there for like about a year and change He broke his hot his hand His girlfriend had fucking kicked him out of the place because she he had given her fucking herpes and shit No, I'm dead-ass serious.

So yeah, like know where to fucking live.

So he asked if he could crash on my couch I was again fucking but we're on both on this journey together.

We train together play poker together Fucking this and that so I basically Fed this dude for a fucking year lived in my couch didn't give me a fucking dollar cuz he didn't have a job had a Fucking broken hand.

It's all documented It's all him on YouTube saying Hori Mazel was my best friend if it wasn't for Hori I wouldn't be here and this and that and then you know, I'm at 155 So then I come up to 170 and I start stealing a lot of not stealing but I start getting a lot of shine from myself a lot of Eyeballs start looking at me and immediately instead of like yeah, we're fucking boys We could fight or whatever the fuck he turns into something fucking ugly You know like everything that I did for you trying to use it against me, especially my kids.

He knows the relationship I have with my kids and you're trying to use that against me, you're a fucking piece of shit.

But besides, before all that happened, I already knew he wasn't a good person because my striking coach, this is when we cut ties, me and him, my striking coach trained him from his amateur all the way to his Rafael Dos Anos fight and he did a handshake deal with him.

You know, if you make a thousand dollars, you make 500000 dollars.

5 percent is what you're going to pay me because that's what Joe Romero pays me.

That's what all the guys that train with him pay him, you know, and he's like accessible at all times.

You will drive an hour this way, drive an hour back that way, and just give you all his knowledge.

As soon as Kobe made money, what did he do?

So since then I was like, bro I wanna fucking take a bat to his fucking neck.

And that's how you'll get him for both of us.

I didn't get him that time, but I promise you before my career's over, I'm gonna fucking murder Kobe in the cage, Legally.

They're saying a lot of things, but it's all allegedly, cuz.

Yeah, I don't know what they're talking about, man.

But legally in the cage, in the UFC, I'm gonna fucking snatch his soul 1 way or another.

And that's also something that, you know, losing a piece of shit like that They you know like if you let somebody come into you and you share something with me like man something is very dear to me It's this moment where my mom blah blah blah and this and that and then I would use that because me and you had a falling out it really shows your fucking character like you're a fucking piece of shit you know and that's why nobody fucks with this guy nobody fucks with this guy in any level in any accord you know

Jones can't stand him yes he had a very similar thing with John

Jones He changed who he was when the UFC was about to cut him and he decided to become like a wrestling heel

Shit on a whole country just for for what like I don't work

though I mean the thing about it is it's kind of genius in the fact that it really did get people paying attention To him

in a negative way But you know I feel that he could have just been beating people put more time into the craft rather than Twitter and trying to Copy other heels, And it would have been fine like this guy just oh, what is Connor doing today?

Let me go do that on the cheaper Shit your way, you know like be fucking you bro You know just fucking go out there and beat dudes up and say what you got a saying It'll come to you.

It took me a while to get here You know, I had to fucking Knock out and beat numerous fucking people actual champions to get here, but it'll come you don't have to sell out for the fucking dollar Oh,

I wanted to fucking kill him when I heard him, but it wasn't the best version of me, bro It just wasn't the best version of me there and you know in this sport is what I love about It's like what happened happened and everything else is bullshit, right?

So until we fight again, nobody will get to see that better version of me.

But I promise you, Joe, before I close this chapter in my life in MMA, I will have competed against this guy.

I just know it after being those 5 rounds in there with him and that was the best that he had and that was nowhere near my best at that time for different reasons I knew I could fucking end this guy
