Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah 2012, because before I met y'all, we'll met you and the other guys. After it was just me, dom, daniel and Steve.
Speaker 2:We trained in a damn daycare center.
Speaker 1:We're in a shopping mall and shit, yeah, we's in a daycare center. Then we was at a shopping mall and then we went up when we got the place over there by the Elliott Family Karate Gym, shout out to them for having us back in the day. It gave us a great place to train. And that's when I met you guys, because it was like I said it was just me, daniel, dom and Steve. That's two people. I wish that would stay with fighting Daniel and Steve, especially Daniel, he's a realtor and everything else I'm supposed to go to Daniel's for this and I will promise you I'm going to one of your seminars.

Speaker 2:I'm saying, yeah, like the amount of weight that I got and I'm watching people like live waiting and stuff, yeah. But it's when you see like people just continuously stacking fucking plates on a goddamn bar, it's like how the fuck is this going to go? And Daniel just does this shit like nothing. He comes over and he says, talking about realty, I'm like, oh shit, real estate, shit like that. But they know how long we know each other man. Yeah, we know each other.

Speaker 1:Appreciate that, appreciate that you know we've been talking about doing a podcast again with each other for the past couple weeks because I've been on a high eighties a couple weeks out from when I had my fight September 29th. I decided to take a little high eighties to hone in and you know, get tuned in with my fight so I can just concentrate on that and not worry about doing the podcast. And you know you know my fight went how it went. You know I feel like I got robbed. That's right, yeah.
Speaker 2:Talk to you, sister.
Speaker 1:Be honest, bro. Yeah, just be honest with me how it's your brother man Keep it a stack, I mean literally everybody, everybody in the fucking crowd was like like we were all hype.
Speaker 2:You said a beating dude's ass. It's like a fucking rockin movie. God, he's about to do it. Bro, I'm gonna teach somebody.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, Teach somebody. How's your boy?
Speaker 2:So you would give a boy the beats, right? And I was like I got up on the ropes this shit over and I saw you wear your head back. I was like, oh, please, don't fucking do it, bro. And he was like I was like I was like I looked at the case. I was like, maybe, maybe he's just crazy. Though he's just crazy, bro.
Speaker 1:Man at the end of the day, but I get what's going on.
Speaker 2:I get what you saw in your end. It was a spur of the.
Speaker 1:Moment.
Speaker 2:Because, from what I said, I was like, well, maybe. I was like, well, I know Brown, like Brown wouldn't do the, he wouldn't do the one shit like that. I was like now I said I was just saying the buddy probably rolled Like bro. You probably thought dude was like kind of like trying to roll with the punches. Am I, am I open?
Speaker 1:You just said man fuck him. Man, look to keep it, to keep it 100. And when this air, like I said, to keep it 100, like it was literally spur of the moment, like like they always tell you keep fighting until the referee stops. That that's what I was doing, but the punch had no ill intent with it. But to I mean with it landing was to, of course, finish my opponent, but I was already into my combination of. You know he's going down and that's muscle memory.
Speaker 2:You know shit happens, but also when the when, the as soon as buddies need touch that ground, the ref should have been there, like, because we were all kind of like, yeah, but what the fuck? Because like at the rep, like soon as buddies need, soon as buddies needs to touch the mat, he should have like down, or he should have been close enough to already be right there.
Speaker 1:When he sees me back in the month, he should be ready to be close to if, when I'm backing him down, either I grab him, get ready to break us up or if you know, I got him on the ropes and he's looking like he's about to fall, to go ahead and step in us, but he waits until to contact is made to contact and you know down and you know when I drop, if you can, if you see on my Instagram and on my TikTok.
Speaker 1:I dropped the video because I got tagged by a lot of TikTokers and different TikTok pages of the fight and I had like 60 messages on TikTok from that fight just for that video.
Speaker 1:Big shout out to Haymakers on TikTok. They got like like 10 million followers and they tagged me and I was like, oh shit. And when I looked at their page, there's only three bare knuckle fight. They're very MMA and boxing based and stuff like that and like going to different gyms and stuff. And when I looked at their whole list of 10,000 videos, there were only three bare knuckle fights on there my fight, britton Hart and Melanie Charles fight and Lorenzo Hunt and Mike Richmond's fight. Those were the only three bare knuckle fights on there and they tagged us, tagged us respectively in every video you filmed saying that we was on there. And you know, the last time that I checked it was already at like almost 100,000 views and 60 some thousand likes and it had like a lot of comments and a lot of people on there was like Damn, the ref was at 90 yards away when he should have been like two yards away to step in. And you know, after going back and looking at the whole fight, yes, I got dropped, I got knocked down.
Speaker 2:You know I got the fuck up.
Speaker 1:It's a part of the game.
Speaker 2:Most of them are mentally strong enough to do that Most people as soon as their knee touches the fucking mat they were to fold it. They mentally just get the fuck out. Now they just look for way out.
Speaker 1:When people look for a way out, they just quit and everybody that knows me being in this fight game knows how. About a quitter? I've never quit anything but a job in my life. You know what I'm saying you should have heard of screen.
Speaker 2:He's like you gotta kill that motherfucker. You gotta have to kill that motherfucker, let's fucking go.
Speaker 1:So, going back, and my brothers, they sent me a couple videos of them and, like you know, recordings. Let's just say my focus was turned up.
Speaker 2:No, that shit is dope.
Speaker 1:Like I said, you know, in the fight game you're gonna get hit and sometimes you're gonna get hit on your butt. Then you're gonna drop. And you know, fortunately and unfortunately, in my fight I got dropped several times.
Speaker 2:That shit happens.
Speaker 1:yeah, you know I got hit on the button twice, I got hit in the groin twice and then I got hit in my spine and my legs went out. And you know, of course they called me down. Because I went down, my legs went out. You know what I'm saying. None of that is excuses, but I still prevailed and, you know, did my thing and made it an awesome ass fight and you know you could see his face compared to my face.
Speaker 2:Oh, he's still got. After that, after shit, I was like what the fuck was in my brain, because I remember my mom. She was asking and they were like keep going.
Speaker 1:Oh, come on, they were gonna fuck you.
Speaker 2:Oh so, and you know now I'm just talking to myself, but they. So, if you're wondering what the fuck just happened, this motherfucker just got the fuck up and ran, and I guess he knows something. I guess he knows something, I don't know. I should be running too. I feel like I lost my black card, bro. Hopefully he just got up. I'm like yo.
Speaker 1:Hey, you know what they say when one black person runs, everybody else got run too.
Speaker 2:I've been hanging around too many white folks cause I should have ran too bro.
Speaker 1:I'm sitting around?
Speaker 2:what's going on? What are you looking for, like what the fuck is going on.
Speaker 1:I'm just like oh, oh my.
Speaker 2:God you know what. I'll tell you some more about the fight from a couple of weekends ago. So tell you how that happened. So one Sunday I had a shit show of a, of a, of just a show, and everybody that came there I was literally. I felt like I was everybody's restaurant, like everybody. I just felt like I got mobbed cause, like you know, it's Sunday, I ain't really got nothing going on. I'm fucking, I'm just there, I'm just a body there. So, like you know, so everybody and everybody else that was there had like fights coming up. So I'm getting mopped by fucking everybody which shout out to them cool, I get in the car and I'm like God damn.
Speaker 2:Like you know sometimes you ever have those spa rounds. We used to sit in the car and be like am I fucking doing this for a reason? Like should I even be fighting? Like these motherfuckers are wiped the mat with me? So I was thinking about that driving home and I had to get some comfort food. So I go to fucking Mission Bar with you.
Speaker 1:I get it. No, no, you went to Macadoos, Fuck Macadoos fuck Macadoos.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's just my soul, bro. Fuck Macadoos anyway.
Speaker 1:Hey look, Macadoos, I fucks with y'all a little bit.
Speaker 2:So don't don't think that's me that's Mr Antoine. You go ahead and get your you go to get your Joe or Joe Hooker sandwich if you want See if they see you on shit and I'm like shit, that motherfucker out Bro. So I went to Mission Bar with you. I get like three, four, like $20 worth of food in that motherfucker.
Speaker 1:That was that. So that was what Mac.
Speaker 2:Rooney Cheese Two items. No, no, no, well, yeah, that too. Now you get like I had a shit load of turkey, like, I think, two helplines of Mac Rooney Cheese. You know you get double and everything else. So I'm driving, so I'm driving home, I get a message from you know, tlc. It was a hey, so it was supposed to be had a fight. You know what I'm saying, but you know I'm not trying to give out too many details, cause I'm pretty sure, like I mean at this point.
Speaker 1:You know, it is what it is.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying and well, yeah, and so, like you know, shit happens in the fight game.
Speaker 1:So you know shit happens. Like I said, you know what?
Speaker 2:What, what, nothing man so anyway, keep it moving. Oh, that nigga was in a court. I was like what are you talking about? All right, so. So they hit me up and they was like hey, you know, we had a guy lined up and then, you know, he had a fight prior to that and then he kind of got busted up. So he, he was going to do it, but he was just like cause he had to get stitches in everything. So I was like all right, you know what Understandable.
Speaker 2:I was like you know what man Cause I honestly I felt I didn't feel a hundred percent great about my last show in there. It was granted, it was exposition. Am I saying that?
Speaker 1:Exhibition Exhibition. He said exposition Exhibition. What are you doing about to get deleted by a superhero in?
Speaker 2:my boy, yeah. So I felt like, and I every time I went back and I even had several friends, man like dude, like were you okay for that fight? And granted, I had a stress fracture in my left leg so I was afraid to throw kicks and so when they said like hey, we're not wearing our shin guards, I was like, oh yeah, bet. And in my head I'm like, fuck, this is going to suck bro. I made it through like one kick plus two. Derrick's my homeboy.
Speaker 2:So that's I don't know if people ever struggle with that, like when you, it's hard to punch them, even like granted. I struggled with it during sparring.
Speaker 1:It's I used to struggle with. You know, once you get used to having partners and the same people around all the time, or going to different gyms and sparring with those guys, and they end up being your homies, sometimes you try to hold off. Just tad. Yeah, and you know I'm going to go ahead and say it. You made a post earlier that I sent you earlier.
Speaker 2:We can do it, we can do it and you know sometimes it'd be like a and to piggyback off.
Speaker 1:A couple of seconds ago, you know, having a bad showing in the gym and you felt like like damn, why am I doing this? You know, sometimes, as the famous saying goes, sometimes you're the hammer and sometimes you're the nail. I think that was the board, that thing that was the oh, so you were, you were, you were plank, plank that day that was plank bro From Ed Ed and Eddie, you just getting tossed around and beat the fuck up. I had some much food.
Speaker 2:They hit me with that. They hit me up and they told me about it and I and I, you know, because I thought more about it I was like you know what? And really too I'm going to be honest with you I think I probably said this I really really struggled with. There was a point in time during when me and Derek was like kind of moving around granted, it was exhibition there was a point in time I was like I was in there and I was like I don't want to be here right now. I was like I really don't want to do this shit.
Speaker 2:I feel it, this is during the fight where I was like this is fine. So I look very uninspired, I look like I shouldn't even. I look like I just got off the couch and I just felt like, even though it looked you had a gallon of milk and some milk and cookies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, even though it was a still a good it was still a good fight. I just felt as though I didn't. I kind of like I didn't do a good service to Derek. You know what I mean to everybody else, so you know. But it was good enough to bury people who didn't know what was going on. It's people just on people on the outside and like, oh wow, he's actually doing great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, it was a good fight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we came to. We got to the back. We had so many people like, oh man, that's how you, that's masterful striking bubble. I was like my nigga, that shit looked like ass and I feel horrible about it that I even disgraced my homeboy with that bullshit that I gave him, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I mean on the.
Speaker 2:So I felt a little bit bad about Jeremy, cause I'm cool with Jeremy, you know what I mean. But I was just like hey, dog, I know we cool, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know, on the outside.
Speaker 2:It was a good fight. It was a good fight.
Speaker 1:From the outside looking in and, like I said, we've been training together for 10 plus years. I mean y'all made it entertaining. It was an exhibition that y'all did which y'all were supposed to do. You feel me Saying y'all didn't go in there trying to yeah? Yeah, I mean y'all threw. Y'all threw hands, yeah, man.
Speaker 2:And you know, me and Derek we talked about it prior to it he was like, hey, man, what's the temperature? And I was like dog, it's just an exhibition. I mean like I'm trying to see Cause me, and they, like I said, we had a conversation about it I pretty much gave him my, gave him my reasons on why I wanted to. You know, I kind of even agreed to do it this more so to see if I even had the thrill of fighting anymore, or was it like so this is kind of that was kind of like a scene if I wanted to do it.
Speaker 2:And I got worried once I got in there and I was like, oh shit, I really don't, I don't, I think this shit might be a wrap. But then, like after the fight, once I watched more and more about it and stuff I got, and then even, like you know, talking with you guys, you know more on the behind the scenes about it I felt like I'm 39 fucking years old and I still feel good I might as well just fucking keep trying and see what the fuck happens. But now, shout out to Jeremy, shout out to their. I will tell you something funny though after the fight. You know what I mean, cause we were throwing you know what I mean? Like yeah, yeah, I was getting in.
Speaker 1:Like I said, y'all was doing what y'all were supposed to do. With it being an exhibition, y'all made it super entertaining and y'all, like I said, y'all did what y'all had to do, did what you're supposed to do and you know, at the end of the day, y'all, y'all talk prior, talk afterwards, and there was no animosity.
Speaker 2:There was no B, absolutely not. Y'all chat it. Yeah, y'all chat it. We were both surprised about the. About the scoring though. Yeah, but Cause I even said it, he was like. He was like did you know they were gonna score the fight? I was like dog, I ain't having no clue, bro. I would actually like try to look harder, bro. He's like I know dog.
Speaker 1:But y'all still did what y'all were supposed to do. Even if they told y'all you know they were scoring, y'all still had, in my opinion, the best fight on the court.
Speaker 2:Hell. To be honest, yeah, this pass card. I feel as though we put on a good me and Jeremy shout out to Jeremy. I feel as though we put on a good fight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, shout out to Jeremy Cavanaugh's.
Speaker 2:Yeah for a man that took a seven year break to take care of his family.
Speaker 1:Damn, it's been that long. It's been a long. Yeah, it's been seven years. Oh, this shit, god bless.
Speaker 2:And he works crazy hours trains. You know seeing trains. When he can train, takes care of his kids, he cares his wife. I give all the much props and salute to Jeremy Cavanaugh's man because he came in there. That man was working dude and it was. You know it was, because usually you know what I'm saying before fights. You know what I mean. Like you know, if it's an exhibition I'm kind of chilling, laughing. But this fight I felt like I was like all right, dog, I gotta like I gotta go into like a weird space, and it was so. Then I wish I could just fight somebody. I didn't. I wish I could just fight somebody I didn't. Like Like you get lucky, you keep getting people that are assholes. I fucking keep fighting like the nicest people, bro, all right, you talk Like what do you mean by assholes?
Speaker 2:Like they talk shit. You know what I mean. They call it like humans are on it. You guys have the best luck of fighting assholes. To fight, I mean ain't nobody really told.
Speaker 1:Talked too much shit to me because you know, once I put on social media it's savage season, it's game time after that. I mean, I fought some assholes in my time, but no one that's really created too much of a beef before a fight. And you know sometimes you have to talk your shit to sell a fight and you know to sell tickets in.
Speaker 1:But you know I've, since I've been a professional, I've maybe had three beasts with three fighters and you know I've handled those fights and you know, one being an MMA fight, and it turned into not necessarily it was kind of a beef because, you know, while we were amateurs I had been trying to call him out and you know he was a two fight champion well, a two weight class champion in another Virginia promotion Spartacal Fight League, and you know, you know, I reached out to them several times to fight their champion and it was like he was protected and you know so it never happened.
Speaker 1:So he went pro and I went pro and he ended up fighting for Bellator. And then, you know, I ended up going to a fight card that he was at and you know I called him out and I was like I want this fight and you know, nothing ever came of it. And then, you know, time went by and you know I called out another fighter, matthew Messer, and that created a little bit of beef because you know, we fought twice and the first time that we fought, you know I went savage mode on him and he, he, needs a player.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know he hit the ropes and you know, in a Muay Thai style kickboxing fight. You know, you know I need him. I was on savage mode that night. Like I said, you know I fell out the ring and I fell out the ring.
Speaker 2:Like you just want a ticket to the Royal Rumble bro.
Speaker 1:Faction.
Speaker 2:On WrestleMania my bad.
Speaker 1:Let me slide.
Speaker 2:I gotcha, I gotcha.
Speaker 1:And you know a lot of people talk shit about I'm grabbing him.
Speaker 2:I'm grabbing him.
Speaker 1:Well, not a lot of people talk shit about that fight, but it was created a beef with some people on you know his side and they were calling it a dirty fighter for kneeing him on the ropes. That was completely legal.
Speaker 2:It's completely legal.
Speaker 1:The referee we had was fucking horrible. That same ref robbed me out of two fights as an amateur also, I remember that.
Speaker 1:And one pro fight that we went to where he said I tapped on an ankle lock and I'm just sitting there trying to push myself up and he's like you tapped, you tapped, but anyway that created a beef. Yeah, you know, we beefed for a couple months and then I ended up fighting him and in a rematch and kickboxing and I ended up cutting him up pretty good after some knees and stuff and you know he got his get back. He knocked me out the ring and Went to the table.
Speaker 1:I fell on the down officiating table with that. I was mad at him.
Speaker 2:I hold his WWE fight. We saw you. That's what I was like, where you go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, mother fucker. Laying down the judge's table.
Speaker 2:I remember I looked down and I heard people go oh, I looked up, I was like where the fuck you going? Do you teleport? Yeah, I see him, buddy. I was like oh no, I don't tell me, he's like fucking yeah.
Speaker 1:He was hyped up, but you know, I got my get back.
Speaker 1:It's for a fight and I cut him up and it was a referee stop. It's due to all the cuts I landed on his face. He ended up getting like like 18 stitches. But you know that other beef came back in the full circle when I scheduled my next MMA fight. So it was against the guy named Ryan Parker that I've been calling out for spotter to fight Lee since he was third two weight class champion and you know we fought. We ended up fighting. I finally got the fight that I wanted as a pro Is there a hook on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know we had a good squabble for a minute and some change. I ended up winning the fight off of a heel hook. He had me in one first and you know that fight camp I'd done nothing but grapple that whole fight camp. So there was no way that he was gonna beat me on the ground. And you know he was a great wrestler, a great high school wrestler, and so was I. And you know, in my opinion, there is no MMA fighter on the planet, cause I have an ego that's through the roof. You know MMA fight. There is no wrestler in this world that can beat me at wrestling in an MMA fight.
Speaker 2:You should definitely go back to MMA, bro. You know I'm more now that you got like you know. See, you got all the exposure to everything else. I think, it really, really dope to see you go back to MMA. You know what I mean, but only when you're ready. You know what I mean. That's the only thing about it. If people could tell you like, hey, man, you should do this. But if you're not, if you're having fun doing what the fuck you're doing?
Speaker 1:I mean, you know, if I do make my venture back to MMA, I'm just gonna do, not necessarily local stuff, but, you know, a little bit of traveling for MMA. Mma to me right now is not my main focus, only for the simple fact that I've been doing bare knuckle since 2019, 2020. And you know, I still do MMA training, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2:You know you always got to keep your tools sharpened and your tool belt and the I don't know what the fuck that meant, but I got you man, I got you Just like they say, iron sharpens iron.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you still got to sharpen your tools and your tool belt and your tool, tool shed.
Speaker 2:I think I ain't never sharpened, I ain't never sharpened the skills out of him. Man, please stop.
Speaker 1:But MMA is not my interest because there's a lot of bullshit with MMA. I've had a couple offers to do MMA, but you know, a man once said if it don't make money it don't make sense. I've gotten enough.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna say clout, but I've got enough followers and fame, that you're not just going to offer me a shit amount of money to take an MMA fight that I'm gonna be busting my ass for for six to eight weeks in. If you can't give me what I want, I'm not gonna fight with for you, especially when it comes to MMA. You feel what I'm saying, because that's just not my thing. I'm not gonna fight for pennies when I know my worth. You feel what I'm saying? Even though I haven't fought MMA in a while, I still know my worth with being in combat sports in general. You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:When I'm fighting other places like Flay Mayweather's Cards or Baranical Cards, you feel what I'm saying? I get taken care of. You feel what I'm saying? If you're MMA promotion and you're not gonna take care of me, I'm not going to fight for you because in my opinion, that feels like I'm being disrespected and you just want me there because of my name. If I'm there because of my name, at least you're gonna have to pay me for my name, nil, baby name, image and likeness you've been.
Speaker 1:Let's piss some people off.
Speaker 2:Let's piss some people off. So now it's time to get, let's say, spicy, or no, no, no, no, I'm not gonna get spicy, I'm not gonna get spicy.
Speaker 2:I don't get spicy, but what I will say. So what I'm talking about is, since this is a combat sports, you guys know what you're tuning in for. If you don't like combat sports, then this is the part we need to get the fuck off, because you're probably not gonna know what the fuck we're talking about. So, basically, you know, brian has sent us a post in the group chat and it's resonated everything that I and we have been talking about and felt with our whole hearts for all this time. So, basically, the post. Basically it says heart sparring and light sparring, you know, going back and forth. And was it, who, was it that that originally posted it?
Speaker 1:Well, I've seen it on Instagram and it's like heart sparring versus light sparring and who posted it John Dotson.
Speaker 2:John Dotson.
Speaker 1:John Dotson a well, very well known MMA fighter and he's a bare knuckle fighting championships 125 pound champion. So you know, if he's posting something like this, it really means so.
Speaker 2:The main reason. So I'll give my reasons and I can see both sides of both of their argument. So nobody's right, nobody's wrong. I mean kind of sort of we'll get into that. So I see the purpose of hearts bar and, but it's like hearts bar and every day is not. It doesn't seem conducive. Now here's one thing. Now here's the thing. If you have like I mean like I mean well, you have like a something coming up like a fight or something like that, you got to get. You know, you get your, you definitely you definitely got to get that pressure, ain't no wrong with that, but nobody should be trying to KO you before like they're white in fight camp. I've seen it happen, I heard about it happen, you've seen it happen.
Speaker 2:But you know what I mean. During the fight camp people are sparring to get knocked the fuck out and then buddies out money. You know what I mean. That's some of the dangers, but that's it. Just I don't know, I just don't see, I just don't understand. I mean, I get, I get why. I get why because I've seen people I've seen shout out to Scott. I've seen Scott, you know, a post is a post, is reaching for it Totally. Hey, it's totally legit to him.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. I mean it is with, at that point it is I like my brain cells.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying that, yeah, this is my shit.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to talk my shit. You know what I'm saying. But you know there's a certain point. When you get enough years in and enough time, enough time in the gym, they always say in any sport you got to have 10,000 hours to get better. Whether it's boxing, mma, bare knuckle football, basketball, anything, 10,000 hours is veteran status. You feel what I'm saying and you know, once you get to a certain point of your career, or those at that 10,000 hours and you're still continuing your journey, you don't you like your brain cells. You don't want to sound like you're and this is punch drunk. Or you know, when you're talking to people you sound like you're slurring. Or you're sitting there talking to people and you're spitting all in their face, or you're sitting there talking to people and you're got a whole fucking drool drool bit touching the floor and shit.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying and you know the more importantly about that is and we won't even the posts expand it I mean it covers our branches and everything else but the most important thing is your brain. You have to. I. You know current situation now. I know you know kid, I know you got a concussion while sparring not an art. You know what I'm saying. But and it's a thing, you know what I'm saying and, granted, I don't know the particulars or whatever else, but it just I don't know like it just is what it is, is what it is.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Here's my thing.
Speaker 2:Here's my thing for me personally. For me, I speak for me personally. I'm not fit in the walk in those. And, granted, if I know the temperature, if I know what I'm there for, then, cool, somebody hits me up. Hey, yo man, I got a fight coming up. I need you to come up, you know, can you add some pressure? All right, cool, I'm on the way. I got you. I'm going to say less, say less. I'm not, I'm not blindsided, I don't, I'm not coming in strolling, I'm like all right, I'm here to work.
Speaker 1:I have a job, let's get it. You feel me.
Speaker 2:What stance you need me to be? What type of punches.
Speaker 1:You know some that way and that's, that's a good good training partner.
Speaker 2:That's a good training partner.
Speaker 1:Because if you know what you're doing, going in instead of I already know what you're going to say. I think you were getting to it.
Speaker 1:I hate to cut you off on that but you're not going into a gym and there's no game plan, there's no, nothing. And when you get started, motherfuckers are just trying to take your head off or act like it's a real fight and trying to win. Yeah, no, you're not trying to win in the gym, practicing and light sparring. There is no winning there, except for hey look, I'm, I'm, I'm wanting to admit I have an ego. I've wrestled most of my life and I've been fighting for a long time, so I know what I can and can't do and I got a super high confidence level. So it is what it is. But if you're, I'm not.
Speaker 1:I don't have so much of an ego that if I go into the gym, I'm not there to to prove, prove a point to nobody. I'm not going into nobody else's gym. I don't even do it at my gym, or Antoine's gym or Bruce's gym, or going to West Virginia to train, or, you know, going to my other gym that I train at or any other gym for the first time or the first few times, or training with different people. I'm not coming in there with a ego to to show off and prove myself. If you don't know who I am and know how, how I roll.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's cool, but I'm not going to go into nobody's gym and just go in there and try to win at their gym. No, you, you can't do that. You're not supposed to do that. You both still go in there with a type of energy like you're at your own gym of you know, chilling the fuck out, and you know y'all talk a few moments before you know what's the game plan, what we doing, what we working you know if you, if you got a fight but I don't got to fight, I want to work on what you need to work on.
Speaker 1:But if I got a fight and you got to fight, then we know we just going to work, we going to work, we might do a couple of drills to warm up, we might move around to, you know, break a little bit of a sweat to, like I said, to warm up. And you know, after that, you know that little five minute round or three, two, three, three minute rounds, we step to the side and be like, look this, you know that's what it was to warm up. That was to, you know, to set the tone a little bit. So, whatever you want to work on, we'll do, and whatever I need to work on, we'll, we'll still do it. We'll mix it in together and we're going to do that. And me personally, I think that's the best way to to spar or get ready for a fight. Granted, I don't spar a million times in a fight camp. I spar maybe once, maybe twice a week. For the rest of those times, I'm drilling, I'm moving around.
Speaker 2:Going to be a game plan.
Speaker 1:Going over my game plan, but I will spar literally once or twice a week in a fight camp you feel me saying, and a few of those times in the earlier parts of the fight camp. They're gonna be a hard spar session, but that's what the people that I'm used to. So we know, like you said earlier, I know your temperature and how we rock. So if I turn up, you're gonna turn up and if you turn up, I'm gonna turn up. But if we got that nice good turned up pace, we know how to control our shit back and forth. We're not going to try to win against each other because we've trained together for so long. We are not.
Speaker 2:We're not trying to hurt nobody.
Speaker 1:Well, we need to hurt each other for it, because at the end of the day, it will cost you money, it'll cost me money and our fights can disappear, just like that. Anything can happen, just anything can happen, period. But when, like I tell, I give you, for instance, this last fight camp that I had, I was in a fight camp for a long fucking time. I think I started fight camp in like, are you using it for a minute? May?
Speaker 2:You using it for a minute.
Speaker 1:Mayish, but I was getting ready for another fight, but it got canceled. But, then another fight came up and it got canceled. So I'm like shit, I'm already here so let's go.
Speaker 1:But in that fight camp, I strictly said if we came to my gym for Sunday Funday, this is what I'm gonna work on, this is what I'm gonna do and not gonna do. Okay, and 50% of the people here understood the assignment and that's what we did, but the other 50% were like fuck you, but it is what it is. Or if I came to your gym on a Sunday Funday, whatever y'all had planned, since it's not my gym, I'm on your time and on your game plan, but I still voice my opinion. Hey, this is what I wanna work and this is what I wanna do, and this is Damn, I'm thinking of it.
Speaker 2:This is what I'm not. I have to hold you down. Hold you down. This is what I wanna do.
Speaker 1:And this is what I'm not going to do, and it worked in all of our favors. In my opinion, this is the same thing with you. We respect each other in our respective gyms and just like Bruce too, whatever he wants to work on in his gym. That's what we're gonna do or not gonna do, and we work at his pace. We work at each other's pace, no matter which gym we're at, even if I go up there with Derek and Rick and them and.
Speaker 1:Bobby Fresh and all those guys. They ask me what do you wanna work, who you wanna work with, what we gonna do, and if they got fights, we all in there together, not necessarily going hand, but having the respect for each other to do what we do you feel?
Speaker 2:me. I don't want people to think I'm shitting on people who like the hard sport. I'm not doing that. I'm not. You know what I'm saying. Y'all got. You have your reasons, you have your, yeah, you have your reasons for doing it and that's great. And so, yeah, I'm not shitting. I don't want anybody to hear it in. So, like you know, read what I posted and like, damn, he shitting on the bottom, like that's not what I'm saying. I prefer, I prefer you know what I'm saying just not trying to kill nobody while I'm a sport. You know what I mean, especially now, man, I'm 39, dude, so like I got shit to do, bro, I ain't really like oldest fuck bro.
Speaker 1:No, just plain, you're not oldest. Fuck, I'm not too far behind you, but I ain't 39 either, so it is what it is.
Speaker 2:So here's the thing you getting your older age, but you're just like I ain't trying to like, I ain't got that energy right now. It's fucking early, it's still cold outside, fucking caffeine ain't even hit. And then you got a motherfucker who's just out for war. This motherfucker is trying to knock your head off.
Speaker 1:So then, like you know, you just like God damn bro so then, like you try to start, you know like some days you're not with the shit and some days in the gym you are with the shit like you know, when I come to the gym, sometimes by myself, I'm with the shit. I'm in here in my zone by myself and I can do what I want to do on my time and I'm with the shits with that.
Speaker 1:But sometimes when it's 10 million people in here and a motherfucker done had a long stressful as day and he tired of you and you like damn, I'm about to work out with all these people and get these rounds in.
Speaker 2:I'm not with the shit today and everybody looking at you like you're on the top of the mountain so everybody got a fucking yeah, let's go. But, I happily tell people to fuck off if.
Speaker 1:I don't, if I don't wanna spoil them.
Speaker 2:I'm like nah chief, you got it today, brother. Oh, come on. Nah big dog, you got it, and I'll happily tell people to fuck off.
Speaker 1:But I mean, that's what you boast to do you know what I'm saying, cause, you know, even though sometimes we don't wanna do, we still do it anyways and give it our somewhat of a best effort, cause then we gonna feel like a bitch if we don't. Yeah, and then my pussy like, like yeah, you sitting in your car for 15, 20 minutes. Like am I soft. So, second guessing yourself and you like, damn what the fuck going on with me today.
Speaker 1:Like you said earlier, it was like damn. I sat in the car and it was like man, I don't know the fuck and should I be doing this shit? And you went to Mission Barbecue and had a well.
Speaker 2:I was about to get a job and Mission Barbecue. To be honest with you, bro Yo. I was damn bad.
Speaker 1:You went and had a fucking midlife crisis in there.
Speaker 2:A midlife crisis struggle meal and still a good dog. When Zyla tried to go meet I was like I'm the dog bro.
Speaker 1:Oh, you told him he got it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like you got it, chief. Now tell you what was bad.
Speaker 1:Oh man, he cried in the car. So he cried in the car.
Speaker 2:I had a hoodie on right and so, like I'm doing good striking, zyla, take over me up right. I said I'm paying the guy. I said oh shit, oh shit. So I got a cramp. I got a cramp in my abdominals. I gotta get this shit checked out. So, like I look at you all out of. Like John, get me out of here.
Speaker 1:You got lost in his own hood, though.
Speaker 2:So I go sit out. I sit on the side of the aisle. I was like you're the one. What the fuck, bro, I felt like a pussy. So next round I was like I was like yo, big man, zyla, I got you. I got you, get it. Lock up, motherfucker, take me down. I was like God damn stomach must have cramped up, bro, man.
Speaker 2:It'd be like that sometimes, especially if you're cutting weight and you get stomach cramps and I never felt so like, so handicapped, because John's like looking over, like like it's a WWE match, you're gonna tag me, bro. I was like I was in the aisle. I was in the aisle, bro. I was just, I was just holding on to it until it goes away.
Speaker 1:I mean, it'd be like that sometime. Man, and you know, shit happens. Like I said earlier, sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you nail, sometimes you plank.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You're fucked all the way around.
Speaker 2:Overall. We're Getting thrown all over the damn place Overall. What I'm saying not Brian, but what I'm saying is I'm old as fuck and I ain't trying to get beat the fuck up every goddamn day Like bro.
Speaker 1:Hey look, I ain't old as fuck. But at the same point in time, I don't wanna go coming to my own gym or your gym or any gym period and having somebody trying to knock me out the whole time. I hate that shit. And you know, if you turn up on me, I'm gonna turn up on your back and then I'm gonna call you out on your bullshit at the same point in time, because I'm just that person. I'm gonna call you out on your bullshit. And you know, if you're trying to knock me out the whole time, like what are we there for? What am I learning from that? And what are you learning from that? You know, sure, some people say you know you got a heart spart, fight how you're gonna fight in your fight. No, you don't got a heart spart and try to kill each other.
Speaker 2:The whole time.
Speaker 1:What if you knock me out and fight camp and I lose?
Speaker 2:money.
Speaker 1:And I got a concussion and I go to a doctor about it to see how bad it is and there's like, oh, you got a fight coming up, you got anything coming up? And you tell him I got a fight there. Oh no, it's over and done with him, didn't you?
Speaker 1:You gotta be that guy to hit the promoter, be like look, hey, I'm sorry. You know I was going a little too hard and training yesterday and you know one of my partners knocked me out and I got a concussion, so I'm gonna have to pull out the fight. No, sir, if you ever, ever, ever, ever put me in that predicament of trying to I've had people try to knock me out in in fight camp- but, if you put me in a predicament to where I have to put up, pull out of a fight.
Speaker 1:One, I'm gonna blast the fuck out you and call you out, and two, I'm probably gonna smack you or punch in your shit, because I nothing stops me from being able to do what I love to do, which is fighting it. If I cause myself to get injured or something Freakish happen like an accident and something happen, cool. But if you're, if you do it on purpose and that's your goal for today, I got a point to prove that. Try to drop somebody or choke somebody out in a gym. I know you got your time on it.
Speaker 1:But you got five minutes, if that's your goal for the day, you need to just go ahead and pack your shit up and get the fuck out. You fell, sam, because I'm a veteran in the sport. Now, you're a veteran in the sport. Now several of us Sorry, I got seven, but you know who's counting. Yes, I mean not these ones besides.

Speaker 2:I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1:But oh shit, crazy horse come. So take this script, throw it out the window. Open this box that I just threw out the window, put it back on the table, open and read we're gonna get. Oh, we're gonna scare him today. Make him not want to train with If he's the point you know what. No well, here's think but, we've only grappling though, so it now when it comes to grappling week. Now, it is what it is we want to do.
Speaker 2:Here's the thing we were younger with that happen, right, so he was probably our age or older.
Speaker 2:So he probably walked in the gym and feels the same way I feel now. This shit is crazy, right. So he probably looked at us like I ain't spoiled with them, motherfuckers, and grab this shit in depth because I'm Cuz, now I get first week, you know, first week kind of like like laughing back and forth, like that's crazy. You do that now like fat, like Now that I'm thinking about I'm like that makes perfect fuck. If I go to somebody's gym and I, you know, they get wild and out and so they get off the rip. They need to get warmed. Yeah, motherfuckers, ain't even stretch yet, bro.
Speaker 2:You don't walk in and they already get busy and they get in the work and these motherfuckers are going full crazy. I'm gonna look at them like I Mean. Now. I'm cool, bro, like it's, it's always better to do you go walk out though. You got them right about.
Speaker 1:so if you made a two-hour trip, I'm gonna you walk into a gym. I'm going home and you know, of course, it's a big gym or so.
Speaker 2:A two-hour trip is better than a 24-hour stay at the hospital.
Speaker 1:I'm going home, dog. I mean it is, but it is at that point. But I ain't gonna go drive that far and I'm gonna put some type of work in I beat you guys. If they go on ham, you know when I go with I'm be like look you know, joe, the fuck out, because I tried it.
Speaker 2:I'm like, so we just gonna move around yeah.
Speaker 1:Look, I'm a Leo, I demand a lot, and if you not, if you're not listening to my demands of what I tell you, it's my famous line Savage season. And you know what happens after savage season, I get into my mode where zero fucks are given.
Speaker 2:Go ahead and say no, no, no, it's funny. So you know how sometimes you like, sometimes you gave it you ever get hit hard and during sparring you kind of smile like yeah, let's go motherfucking. And then you'd be really thinking, like I said, right. So I remember one time is in the, it's probably like it's definitely a couple weeks. A couple weeks ago I was part of my angel shout out the angel and shout out the gator boxing. And angels, fast, bro, he's fast, and he hits hard. He's. You know, he's good, he caught you.
Speaker 1:No he.
Speaker 2:Should he come in with you. Give me a nice little three-piece, right, I should do that up and I was a. Yeah, I guess shit, let's go me. Mama, I say nigga you better, you better put your mother fucker, cuz you eat two boy, you could be out.
Speaker 1:Hey man, look. I remember when I first started training and I got hit rocked for the first time, I was like what the hell is going on? Here, All right, let's go. And then in my mind I was like damn that sure like a Big brother. Like should I take a break or something to go? And me being me, I was like let's go. And he was like the fuck Roads, you know, I'm like what?
Speaker 2:let's go.
Speaker 1:And you know that was at a point in time where I was going to a gym I ain't gonna name a name but you know I was going there and they try to charge me $25 a day to train there, to only get an hour's worth work, which was horseshit, and they finesse me I know no better at that point in time of my life because I'm just now starting to sport and I just wanted to train so I can get better before my very first fight. But you know it is what it is. You know they did what they had to do to make some money off me and I'm going to say this I don't care about being foul about it, but we see where they are now and where I'm at now. So who won at the end of the day? You know I'm gonna talk my shit, because this my shit and I'm gonna say what I want to say.
Speaker 2:But no clue. Oh you can't tell me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I didn't get.
Speaker 2:Was it? Was it recent?
Speaker 1:No, it's when I first started training, like like the beginning, like literally, as they say these days, out the mud from the trenches. But I mean technically it was really out the mud out the trenches because I started going the fucking. You know that that place and it's smell smell like a Hundred niggas died in there and it's not like blood, sweat, tears, booty and Dead people like it's like. It's not like they never clinked that place. But I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go anywhere. I apologize.

We're starting to do that, but we all need to come together. Rather, were boxers, mma people or Combat sport people in general, come together as a whole and do more stuff together. Like wholesome, wholesome events shout out to Bruce on Bransky, he's doing that already but like more people come together because there's a lot of hate, a lot of shame being thrown because this person's doing this and that person's doing that.
