like i remember i grew up in very small
village with very poor life you know and
and
my father he bring us
from village
he sell his house he sell our house and
he bring me my brother
my cousins
like it was like almost 15 people from
village to capital city
and
we all was living together we was eat together
together
it was like
going school come back training come back
back
just father
try to invest
everything what they have time energy
money he invest us
he invests us in from this house is
become sixth world champion ufc champion
you know a lot of champions and very
good people because father invest
everything what you have he give us good education
education and
and
you know like he gave us good
opportunity to learn in good schools
university you know he invest everything
what they have all his life
he was doing he was investing people and
you know this is very big motivation for
me even now when i'm finished like
like
right now i'm trying to
invest people invest my close people
because this is best investment you know
i can live i can live for myself i can
do whatever i want in the world i can
buy any house in the world but this is
don't give me good energy this is like
this is not who i am this is not what my
father teach me you know and i'm very
happy about this because like i remember
like 10 years ago my mind was completely
different oh i'm gonna become champion
i'm gonna become rich i'm gonna buy everything
everything but
but
like everything what happened last two years
years
this is changed my mind and change
change
the way i was thinking you know it was
third july
2020 two years ago almost two years ago
after a couple years it's gonna be two
years father is not with me you know
it's very hard time right now staying
here and
talk about him you know it's very
emotional for me but
and [Applause]
it was
i have very good amateur career i become
two-time russian champion two-time world
champion in combat
i was complete everywhere i remember
when i grew up father father make me
compete like freestyle wrestling great
caroman pancreation grapeling amateur
mma combat even he he make me like
wrestle with the beers you know
this is like
this is this is how he teach me
this is how he tried to teach me
because he always tell me
when you're gonna go to big arena you
can handle any any pressure you can
handle any pressure
when you go to the big arena but right
now you have to work hard
and i remember when i asked him when i
was young i was very young maybe like
six seven years old i remember it was
like listen for all my life i asked him money
money
he said okay i'm gonna give you money
but you have to deserve this
you think i'm gonna give you everything
what you want no
you have to deserve this
you know it's like it was very big
lesson like even like
backstage i was talking with dc i know
he won't his son become world champion
and he winning like one like
gold around his neck i'm like dc you buy
this for him
he's like yes i love him but this is not
about love
i know here is like a lot of others and
millions people watching us on tv
youtube like everywhere
like if you guys wanna
like give good
like manners education they become
success don't give him everything what
they want
you guys have to show by yourself
by yourself what is this like be example
for your kids this is very important a
lot of parents like lot of others they
just told their sons
okay don't go there don't do this do
this be on this way no you have to be on
good way and your son gonna follow you
or your daughter gonna follow you your
kids gonna follow you just be example
for your kids
you know this is my advice for all
like
it was 2008
when i beginning my professional career and
and
at daytime i didn't know even on this
sport they have like
records sherdog like people watch how
many fights win how many fights lose i
didn't know i don't even know this i
remember when first time i realized this
like someone tell me hey you know it was
2009 i think you know your record is
five and all and some people who have
five and all six ml they compete in ufc
i'm like five and all okay i'm gonna
check this i check on like okay five and
all what about if i become ten and all
maybe i can compete in ufc at that time
it was no fighter in ufc from russia it
was no fighter a long time and
and
i become 16 and all in ufc siame i was
first fighter from russia
and a lot of people in my country was
watching okay like more than 10 years
nobody from our country compete in
russia and now we're gonna watch how
we're gonna deal with this a lot of
coaches a lot of like managers fighters
they watch
and january 2012 i make my debut in ufc
and i finish my opponent and after that
ufc understand
they have to watch to this area and
bring some
good fighters from there you know and
for a lot of fighters who come after me
they put here any stories about ufc
fighting university debut
i don't know uh
uh
it's like it was like a lot of stories
you know
like for example i'm gonna tell one
crazy story like
i supposed to fight i supposed to fight
in nashville tennessee
20th january
and it was
january 5th and i didn't have visa and
and
they called me you have to go moscow
