I had to corner two of Serra’s guys, Matt and Richie (Hightower), and when you’re in that role, you just do the best you can. What does your opponent like to do, what are his favorite moves? Find out as much about your opponent as you possibly can, find out what they’ve already worked on for a game plan, and either build off that, or give your fighter instruction on the same game plan. There’s a lot more to being a cornerman than just telling people to breathe, which is about all I hear out of Serra. I just think he could have helped those guys, and that’s why I wanted Richie and Troy (Mandaloniz) with me. I wanted to corner those guys because I knew that Matt (Serra) wasn’t gonna help those guys out. But I didn’t get my way. I think I could have come up with a game plan where at least they had a coach on their side. Against Matt (Arroyo), Troy didn’t have a coach on his side and actually, Matt (Serra) was going over game plans with Matt (Arroyo) instead of Troy, which was terrible.

The coaches’ challenge was this week, and in the match with Serra, I didn’t have fun with it. Number one, I’m a terrible bowler. I’ve tried bowling like five times in my life and I’m terrible every time, so it wasn’t any fun for me – it was just a competition, and they forced me to bowl. I would have never picked bowling with Serra.

As for the strike I threw before the match, that was one hundred percent luck, and I just did that for the guys. I didn’t want any more money whatsoever for me, but Dana’s a gambler, and I thought I could talk him into doubling the guys’ money somehow. I was on him for quite a few minutes, trying to talk him into it, and he came up with the strike thing. I was trying to find another way, because I just don’t bowl, but I had to try and throw a strike and I just got lucky, no doubt about it.
