What Drew you into MMA in your adult life. I’ve done martial arts my entire life. So like I did Karate. And then went from Karate to xXx. So I went through that chain of events. And I guess it was like I just I enjoyed Combat Sports. I enjoyed martial arts. I enjoyed fighting and you know, I’m very competitive. So when I was going through my martial arts, you know, journey I was competing in it. And honestly, just one thing led to another and iend ended up fighting and got the first taste of it and the rest is history. I just loved it and never looked back is there like a Multiverse where Robert Whittaker has a different career path probably it’s hard to say there’s probably alter alternative reality where Robert Whittaker is a crappy electrician instead of a top tier Fighter for sure or hey, maybe a gamer may may maybe a streamer, right?

Full-time, you know, competing in Esports still be competitive. Yeah. Well, I don’t know about Esports comp. Like I get plenty now, you know it’s I don’t know if I could do the whole Esports thing. That’s seems. So stressful. Yeah. Yeah. And you got to start out young there’s kids at start like at 18 like 16 17 and they’re done by 25. I’m like, yeah, retired. Yeah, I think it has something to do with like how fast that twitch twitch reaction is in the head and you know, there’s it actually does degrade like you can do exercises and things to keep it going for longer, but it’s one of those things that you don’t have a lot of control over.

Yeah, those kids are definitely built different as well as the kids say as for you. When it comes to gaming what are you playing these days. So I play a lot of Bethesda titles as you can see in the chair play a lot of fallouts and Skyrims and love the Dark Souls Series. So, play a lot of those and Demon cells and things like that. And play a lot of Indie Games to be honest. If you like a lot of indie games on Steam. It’s play a lot of everything to be honest. Is there a Hidden Gem on Steam in your steam library that you want to shout out ah, like what sort of Indie.

Yeah, like something Indie that maybe we haven’t like played before a lot of people haven’t played before they should check out Rogue sales good value put like 70 hours into it for like an $8 game. It’s yeah, it’s pretty good if you like rogu like prepare to have your heartbroken butt because that thing’s hard man real hard now. I got to ask you mentioned Skyrim I’m a huge Skyrim fan what path did you take in Skyrim did you go, the straight and narrow did you join the Thieves Guild how’d you end up wish playthrough right? Yeah, I generally what do I go a wizardy. I go a magicky boy and then, you know, honestly I just go through the major Guild quest line at wi hold and then build my house with that DLC.

I just build my house and then end up like getting old wife and putting all my decorations up making a little life Sim.
