On if he likes calling fights for CFFC
“I very much do. That’s the whole exciting thing. I guess it’s a cheesy, corny thing to say, but these are the MMA stars of tomorrow. They’re on fight pass. It’s a tremendous opportunity. Not only do I feel privileged to be able to call these fights, but I feel privileged to watch them. I get to watch them and I get to watch them grow. Someday these kids are going to make it to UFC.”
“I feel like there is a responsibility to call these fights to the best of my ability and not let any of these guys down. I’m happy and privileged to do it.”
On if he ever planned on calling fights
“I can’t say that I’ve planned it that way, it’s just been a fortunate thing. I’ve gotten to do a lot of cool things in my life and like a lot of these cool, spectacular things, they just fall into my lap. And I’d be a fool to say no to any opportunity. It just so happens that I can talk a bunch of trash and I’m quick on my feet that way. So, it worked out.”
