On being approached to do a fight for GLORY Kick Boxing:
BG: Yeah, they approached me about doing something. To be honest with you the unfortunate part is there’s a lot of room between their promotional skills. There’s a reason they are where they are. There’s a reason why they clamor to guys from the professional wrestling world to try to attach themselves to and try to bring them in to the forefront. Bring them more viewers. I do believe they’re behind in that area. It wasn’t a realistic scenario for me to do it at that time. It’s an open subject because I still train three days a week. I could do an eight week camp and do something. At the end of the day I could do a smoker down at my gym that would reward me much more so than going out on free TV and giving it to SPIKE and doing it on a month’s notice with not much hoopla behind it. At the end of the day I think it would be a huge tool for that business. It would be a great way to market the business. In a non-comical way by any stretch of the imagination. I am completely serious about this. It’s like wrestling and if it’s not a realistic scenario then I surely don’t need to do it by any stretch.
