But, you know, Justin

has a point.

You'd be a monster in that cage.

like wrestling to me...

You were All American, you were national

champion. I mean ...

we'd make a lot of scratch

if you'd be fighting.

USMMA, Crush, UFC.

We could run for it. I could be your manager.

I Could help you train.

It's not for me, man.

Ah, come on, man, it's just...

a little bit of punching

You are the best wrestler in the world.
