person asking the question and then we'll have each eventually can you explain why you're not at the press conference search and for cello yesterday we talked about this and you said you didn't mind all that much but now that you see everyone's you know opponent here and it's a press conference at m s g is it a bit of a bummer not to be next to manhood it annoys me because i feel like mandalay got his way i mean you understand arrow you and everybody else waited in the weather you came to the press conference vandelay it looks like he found a bathroom as a backdrop in the men's shelter he's living at it rio and got somebody to point a cell phone at his face i find it a little bit weird you act like you just asked him a question you just talk to peck see glass with a little bit of technology in it in that he give you an answer you understand we're beaming him in via satellite aerial we could have used that satellite technology to point it  world that picked him predict weather patterns and protect people lives and said we've got vandelay silva coming to us from a men's shelter bathroom in brazil yeah man i find it a little bit weird he's getting it translated is there anything you want to say in response to that  about that for the nd st off i made tito ortiz screen tap in less than sixty seconds and well i suspect that you're going to be tough within him i still get you out of there inside of the st round before i get it caused over accused of hugging the mike family every time you talk all i hear i i fought and now i'm here who would say no to madison square garden re surprise though that this was the st fight oh yeah you know i was pumped but you know i was surprised that i wasn't thinking about that in the slightest bit so and that he will stumble a little bit yeah i mean if i if i was to give him some friendly advice a lot of it's just the speed like in sparring it's just a little bit of a different speed but i've been around vandelay i did the ultimate fighter with vandal and i watched him train hard every single day so i going to cast can kind of see what's really going on here the stone has to has still not passing still and my tracks somewhere and they said ok so we finally got out in the past in the cast and i thought they found six or seven stones in my right kidney none of my left when i got four kidney stones in there move them all it was a miserable experience and as a memorable thing for me she left twenty six and there are stent i got to pull out four days later miserable experience we don't know what caused them she said initially it seemed like it was cleanest diet but i was having twenty four stones they've been there for a long time i was lucky enough not to pass them at the worst time ever in the history of ever which this one did and that's what happened but i feel great and other net a question for all michael yeah absolutely i mean i am in the sport to get the biggest fights i possibly can case in point we're here at madison square garden is an amazing opportunity and an amazing opponent a guy who's young who's hungry guy who is just fifty five years ago i was in his exact same position you're young you're hungry you're undefeated you get the opportunity to fight the world champion a guy and stamp your name in the ranks in the world so i know i have a tough test ahead of me i know i have a tough opponent from me and i'm on a very big stage but i'm i'm a large enough to fight up there at welterweight or other guys i know talk to scott all the time he's assuring me that work in teams continuing to go after guys and i have a lot of guys on my radar that i would love to fight and you're going to keep seeing more and more guys coming over there ends up here i mean we've got you're seeing guys come over so it's exciting it's an exciting time to be in my position it's an exciting time to be fighting for bella tour and june to and th is going to be another night for me to stand my name on the lightweight division and then we'll see where we go from there but i definitely aspirations of possibly going up or calling other guys in lighter weight classes i know patricio pitbull hates me with a passion so that's that's a good fight possibly so we'll see either way i'm  excited question for fate or so you're obviously at the far end of your career you've got how many fights left do you think thirty five  what do you feel like you bring to the sport in terms of not only your talent but your personality yeah you know i don't i'm kind of new not without really know me you know i i think you know i came from a troubled pas little bit in you know i think that dries mean brought me to where i am and you know yeah you know i just can't wait to go out there and you know show everything show everybody why i'm here and go out when that belt on th and mr li might ask you the same thing what do you think th good and i just love that you know i never thought about fighting us just thankful for them what does that say to you for your point it sounds like an advantage for all change p one more for the bad guy and i did take it and you know you're not really telling the whole story everybody wants to talk about the things that they found in my system but nobody gives any credence to all of the things that they missed so i some some promo stuff for the fight better and i was going to have in february and the california delegation called me up surprise drug tested me when i was in houston at the super bowl so it's like you know everybody's doing their jobs everybody get drug tested on surprise test where they have no idea they can't run the country think about it so good and i really i generally believe i think my my my track record professional track record can you can doubt day that i am a genetic goon like i'm not there's not many made like me and so like i like i joke around but i partially believe it like i'm a highlander i don't ever get sick my body night if i move around and make fade or have to judge where my body is going to be in the targets he wants to touch are going to be it's going to be a short neck for him so you don't think you're quick or you wouldn't give yourself the advantage of terms of speed  here and mayweather well you can't really predict but do you think that would ever happen and had it how would you perceive that that he would it will ever happen who knows maybe hopefully for the sport i think i'd be great for boxing it might be the touch of d means i already had a fight in japan and upon my return i haven't had a chance to fight in america do you expect to fight again in japan or in russia or europe like to think them or with god's help i will try to win this fight for them instead of coming to madison square garden he hid out in a bathroom at a men's shelter in rio who do you think's going to win we fight channel peace and undefeated undisputed the biggest draw in the history of the business and on june t nothing will change i fight better than john jones a sound better than sean combs and you can ask around because i'm even better than john holmes i'm krista hart
