And I'm here with Danielle.

Dariush, who set to take on Ramsey in is, um And I want to ask you how you feeling leading up to this point?

I feel great being here.

This is really close to my home, you know?

So I I love it.

I'm really excited.

You're originally Iranian, and you grew up in the States when I was nine, so I've been there for about 15 years now.

Do you feel like a part of your heart is still in the Middle East?

I got to tell you, I came here and, uh, Dubai felt really kind of European.

But when I drove here to Abu Dhabi and I was going through the streets, I was like, Man, this is Tehran e.

I was so just like, Whoa, it was such a such a awesome thing.

I was just walking through the streets, the driving, everything about it reminded me of home.

So I definitely feel a part of me is here.

And there's a really big Iranian population here, so I'm sure you're gonna have a lot of fight fans.

What can you What can we What can they expect on Friday night.

I I always like to finish my fights.

That's the one thing you can expect for me.

You know, My first bite was a decision, and it was one of the scariest things of my life.

So my goal every time I fight is to finish my opponent, and that's what you can expect from me.

Okay, let's talk about that.

Let's talk about your opponent.

Ramsey Ninja is a highly or is a very well decorated wrestler, and you are very well decorated jujitsu practitioner, so it kinda cancels each other out.

What do you have to fit?

What do you say about that?

What you thought?

Well, it's true.

We both are, you know, different parts of grappling, and we both got to high level.

But I think is the guy who's more roll around it is gonna have the edge, and I believe on the more well rounded guy.

How do you expect this fight to finish submissions or a knockout?

Okay, let's let's move on and talk about your training leading up to this fight.

Are you always active throughout the year, or do you change your training and your diet?

What's that like for you diet.

I changed, but my training is the same all the time.

After I I like to eat.

Uh, you know, my mother makes ah, makes really get food.

So I'm not going to say no to her food.

You know the rice.

Just that's the Middle Eastern in your police and every exactly I can't help it.

Okay, So tell me.

Tell me about your diet.

And what's your diet consist of leading upto?

So when I fight, my diet is simple.

I follow this thing is Ah, God made it.

I can eat it.

So Fruits, vegetables, nuts, you know, if anything, I go store process, for example Bread.

I can't have brother Rice.

I can have very little.

You know we're here.

Most of our portion is rice and then you have a little bit of meat and then salad for me, it's the other way around.

I have, like, this much rice, and when I do eat rice and the rest of it is greens and a little bit of meat.

So that's that's kind of the difference with my diet were leading up to a fight.

All right, well, you know, I don't want to hold you off too long.

I know you have to take your rest and whatnot.
