And we didn't know that he was going through this or dealing with chronic pain or anything like that. So he ended up taking his life when he was, when I was eight, but he'd been going through that for years, but had kept it from us. And so Like my kind of my whole world turned upside down.

“Physically with a person, you have to put your hands on another person who have to talk and interact with that person. And so when I was having a hard time, when we moved back to LA, like really socializing with other kids, sports, you know, specifically judo made it as like a conduit for me to be able to like connect with other kids and have something to talk about.”

“No, no one ever did a brain scan or anything like that. I got tested for deafness for a long time, autism, a proxy I didn't exist as a diagnosis until after I'd kind of really gotten over it. It was actually like a fan mom and her daughter that brought me a pamphlet and was like, we've heard your story. It's been so inspirational to us. We think what you had is this thing called a proxia. And I was like, oh my God, this actually fits everything that we experienced perfectly. And we ended up having a walk for a proxy here. I got to like meet a bunch of different kids and stuff that were dealing with similar things. But yeah, it's kind of like newer on in the field, people being aware of it. But I think that's what made me delve into sports so much because, you know, with judo, especially like communicating.”

“Yeah, Iowa I was born the embulgal cord round my neck and I was like a zero on the Apgar scale, which is like the health of a baby when they're born. I was blue. They thought I was dead. It took a while to revive me. I had some damage from that, some neurological damage, which expressed itself as a motor speech disorder called aproxia, which is basically I would have words formed in my head and try to say it, but there was a kind of disconnect between my brain and my mouth and it would come out differently than how I said it. So I ended up having to do many years of speech therapy to be able to get over it. And sometimes I struggle a little bit, but I've dealt with it well enough where people don't notice. But, you know, doing things like prore wrestling promos and stuff where everybody like will scrutinize you for like saying.”

“So when I was a kid, it was tough. My dad, we ended up taking his life when I was eight and in school. I got picked on a lot. I actually dropped out when I was 16 and moved away from home to train full-time. But a lot of the coaches thought that being abusive to the athletes is what gave them the best results. My first coach is located my job. People don't know about this. But how to get concussions all the time. And every time you get a concussion, it's easier to get another one. So by the time I got into MMA, I had to be able to finish the person off immediately. It was those experiences that made me the world champion.”
