"It's kind of like, if I kill him, I get his power. That's the way I see it. I play a lot of video games and there are plenty of video games that relate to that. If I can destroy this legend, then I'm going to take all of his wins and put them in my back pocket. I'm going to take that legacy and start building my own."
In fact, a lot of my coaches and training partners have had close relationships with B.J. over the years and probably know more about him than anyone else in the game. So, taking all that into account, we couldn't be better prepared right now.
B.J. got started at AKA years ago and a lot of the same guys that watched and trained him then are still around today helping the likes of me. I see that as a little bit of an advantage heading into this fight. My jiu-jitsu instructor, Dave Camarillo, actually got his black belt at the same time as B.J., and Javier Mendez spent a lot of time working on B.J.'s stand-up when he was at the gym. There are a load of guys there who have experience with B.J. and know how he functions. I'm always getting feedback from those people and really appreciate the insight.

"It’s like chasing ghost almost, hearing stories about a guy you’ve never gotten to work with or train with or anything. When I first came to AKA was shortly after B.J. had left, and everybody who had trained him or trained with him was still around, and he was a pretty amazing athlete, so you’ve got a lot of stories about some of the things he’s done and what he’s capable of. You kind of have this mythological thing in the gym because of B.J.’s presence there before, and it’s like you’re always trying to chase it. We [talked about this] in one of our team discussions. Cain went out there and he caught the star and brought it back to show it to us all. Now we can see that you can actually catch these things ... It is kind of like the floodgates have opened, like throwing rocks at a door. Now that we’ve cracked the door open and Cain busted the door open, it is going to make it easier for the rest of us to step it up and get to that place where he is."
