And it's -- to grow up real well.

And realize that I got to be careful what I say and then I have responsible for a minute didn't.

When you have Twitter now and the -- he does give Twitter awards out to people.

Com but you know it's something that they they want to use Twitter you're supposed to be ready to say you know how you feel on Twitter.

But the same and everyone's monitoring Twitter to see if you say anything offensive.

What -- what are what is your what is your take on on the whole Twitter situation -- are you.

As are you you more careful now do you still like Twitter is -- something you're you're trying to avoid.

Not -- because.

My sponsors and my sentiment -- putter.

So -- -- you and you would have just quit had it not been for them right after this last incident rent.

I would never graduate -- in one.

So you know you I understood you just you just got back from Mexico.

In I've been around -- time in the last few years you're doing pure torture idiocy.

-- but -- I'm -- a -- of using them television and radio and magazines and shape.

What's it going to take some big big inventory now it's -- -- is an -- sport -- and Bill Bennett can expand the market that way this is a perfect fit.

And I'll -- clarify you know you're you're you're born in the states right is that -- your board and Canada are not born and no you -- department and you're -- you live where you train essentially -- you where you grew up.

-- -- -- -- -- And but you've been really proud of your Mexican heritage.

You you don't know you're not apologetic for it you you -- -- out there.

You got the the mullet whichever one makes a big deal about -- well let it be apologetic for America and Eric and let live I'm I'm not saying that you don't -- mean you.

You know some people some people aren't you know as vocal about it but you you love you love your heritage where'd you know you -- -- -- -- -- I was -- written my parents.

With certain there's certain core values.

Dedicated back -- which in my home about Mexico.

And you know my father.

In are working and and grow -- and knowledge resistant culture and I for -- -- -- an American.

But lot of my heritage as there's a lot of people.

Dick -- does that certainly -- with the with plans that are Latino does that does do you give -- any back you know what I mean now I've gotten it for some people they.

They -- they they get a little taken aback when you you know you have that you -- the Mexican flag out her you know you talk about being Mexican.

Do you do you get any of that back from anybody here does that does that -- you know being -- YouTube.

-- -- -- -- Brenda my I don't really care.

I am land a growing up.

I was put down when I was in the states are being of Mexican descent so what you consider American.

And when that was an -- resume assembly it was this Mexican -- considered American.

So basically -- no country.

-- in the middle I was let you know our on the annual revenue when a caller I was at a great -- and the middle.

And Connell you know that was a lot of -- for.

But you know I know I'm an oracle from -- -- my -- -- -- that are present.

And I deserved it and Americans are -- -- represent all of you people who strive to do -- -- -- however did last.

Then you're you're proud of who you are in and year you represented you know I get soldiers that I do -- really do.

I just wanted to bring that up -- I was just curious as to -- -- you know it is.

-- the area where you're giving Jim more you -- -- grew up.

How how is -- areas are a large Hispanic population out there large Latino population.

-- that you just have operational here you know I was got a very -- never scorcher.

-- -- -- American let you know situation.

Croatia and Serbia in Italian.

German and there's there's there's there's you know.

Everyday people of course there's a mountain biker and my differences is -- physical and -- -- -- -- and -- and they don't.

Net now what were questioned by the way about soul what it what do Dana White say one now they they -- you back up what what was the last thing he he told you -- What what changed their mind.

Nothing really has very.

Amanda situation a bit you know I -- -- And you know -- I do attitudes about whether -- an hours long and handle it affected.

And you know I correct about that part of my life and he appreciated that significant.

Well I'm gonna ask a couple more questions it looks like -- next by its gonna be you -- 145 has that been confirmed yet.

Yes from about a month ago a year -- fight Michael McDonald.

-- Mike McDonald it was one person about here's what we're.

Now you're you're trying to get back into the title pictures -- that correct I mean you had a setback with the Demetrius Johnson.

Little while back you you've beaten nick pace and now -- Michael McDonald how many fights away do you think you -- it's from Tulsa.

-- vertical discern fact and -- I would just Johnson and he got.

Which I'm very close.

Are more warranted by the way it certainly gives you -- and the timing -- whoever I don't but I know I'm close.

And I know that that level in the caricature and a lot of -- Who would you rather face Faber -- -- Thought our I want them both the -- I want so we'll let -- beat them -- But I would imagine I'm not on the angles and I want one of my career depends on when it's obvious about building the site that's -- -- -- -- Right and you never you've never fought them before you but they these guys -- the -- your division you're the champion WEC.

You've you've had some.

You know you've got two wins one loss in the UFC has the transition been harder is is it just you know -- it is -- And company -- was quite this well.

On the same course in the same so December shows saying everything everything the benefits of the fans aren't they did give a previous interview C.

-- look into Adobe -- appreciated.

What what -- -- and about I would offer.

On the -- see the -- similar but different of the president of more harsh -- a lot more people.

And that aside differences in the -- number they're once obviously well you know home however mean that the -- -- CNN and people recognize you ten times more.

We know it for for you division -- that that's the is that there's a big criticism that you know the the only time you guys give me attention is -- favors involved you know you look at you look at that would Dominick Cruz has done in that division and his last -- his title fight against with Demetris Johnson was on you know free TV.

So -- what -- compared to when he was fighting favor they had it as the headliner of a you see event.

Do you think your your division gets enough respect.

I'll I think -- -- its perspective to serve and brings to it on the pseudo but my expert businesses here are Smart cute.

I think -- is a great -- you know and I sort of kind of attention.

Well you gotta be in order to -- that that Clinton and don't want it.

It is one it is considered one you -- -- a for a reason at all to write it elect correctly yes it was he was appreciative of the secret of where survivors.

-- -- -- -- -- -- Column you know that it's on the and then on and on and was at the proper -- -- so -- Cuba.

-- Now view of you you've got a good presidents -- on television you've done him a man alive.

A lot of times you get these fighters they get on TV that that's the that's -- least favorite thing to do -- -- you look at.

The Diaz Brothers they're not bad for that comparable you know in in social scenarios but you you don't have that problem.

Is that something you worked up -- or is that something you've just always been kind of someone that can relate to other people.

Number I spoke well and I'm honestly see two different camera in front of people on I think that.

You know -- the camera can be or amateur before and had to be comfortable and I can say -- -- and and and -- people and all of and -- And open up saying.

I have everything and I've earned Auburn Norway every -- -- -- possible he's the front under -- instance it was a moment.

Do you think you think the issue -- other people is that they just they're not there and you know you you're comfortable you're you're OK with being who you warrants mother with some of these other fighters -- -- -- not just Latino fighters -- fighters in general they just.

You know there there on comparable with who they aren't presenting themselves to other people.

No way you know I think it's useless for a living yards responsible if you are presented -- atmosphere of the world by the year or realize that Tor project.

-- -- -- I think -- fighters and you know our.
