I trained and trained and went up against Kurt, then being a world champion in '94, and after that I did Tommy's tour and then my tour and all this stuff and just trying to deal with it all. And now, I've just kind of backed off a little. ↗

I trained with the FBI in Portland and I also had many conversations with female FBI agents in Los Angeles, as well.

That was very good to know. ↗
