Ladies and gentlemen, Rudy Rodriguez
00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:06.230
Show here. PKFC Clearwater. I got a big
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.390
winner here with me today. Michael
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.589
Laramore with the big big stoppage. Talk
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.390
about that win tonight. Man, I knew that
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:16.070
I was going to have to put my best foot
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:18.630
forward against a guy like Ace. All
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.109
glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Thank
00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:22.710
you, Ace, for bringing the best out in
00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:25.429
me. We're just getting started. Brother,
00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:27.349
you guys had a lengthy embrace after the
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:28.710
fight. It was like y'all were brothers
00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:30.470
who just got in a fist fight. I mean,
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:31.830
talk about that cuz you don't typically
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:34.389
see that type of love between fighters.
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.709
Yeah. So, he is also a man of faith and
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.709
a man of conviction. He's got Jesus in
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.190
his heart and uh he's a brother to me.
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.430
So, whether we were going to fight or
00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:45.430
not, I I got nothing but love and
00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:47.270
respect for any man who makes that walk
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.029
and especially a man who has Jesus in
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.029
his heart. You live in this area, right?
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.549
Yes, sir. 20 minutes down the street.
00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:54.310
Talk about fighting in your backyard.
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.630
The the crowd you heard tonight. What
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.470
does that do? Do you even do you even
00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:00.150
hear the crowd when you're fighting? You
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:02.869
like zoned on what you're doing? Uh I
00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:05.109
absolutely felt at home with the
00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:06.950
hometown advantage. I was able to just
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:08.390
wake up this morning, have a cup of
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:09.990
coffee, hang out with the kids, you
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.750
know, it was a regular day to me, man.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.670
But today, I got to I got to get paid to
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.590
do what I love in front of the people I
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.830
love. And that's [ __ ] amazing, dude.
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.109
That's awesome. It's funny. I talked to
00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:20.630
Ryan Reaper early this week and I said,
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.310
"Are you staying in your hotel? Staying
00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:23.590
in the hotel?" He's like, "No, I live
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:25.109
five minutes away." What was that? Was
00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:26.870
that the same for you? Yeah, man. It was
00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:29.510
literally like a 16minute drive. I made
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:31.510
a joke with my coach. I was like, it's
00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:34.149
16 from my house. It's 17 if we stop at
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.510
the gas station, bro. Let's pull up.
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:39.109
With this type of win, I mean, very
00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:41.109
impressive performance. What's next for
00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:42.550
you? When do you want to get back in
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.630
there? I mean, obviously you're you're
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.389
three and one now, correct? Yes, sir.
00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:48.550
Big big win. What's next for you? When
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.230
do you want to get back in that ring? I
00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:52.069
want what God wants for me. First and
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.389
foremost, I would like another crack at
00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:57.030
the top five, maybe a top 10, but uh
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.469
God's got me right where he needs me,
00:01:58.479 --> 00:01:59.910
and I'm just grateful for all of it,
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:01.030
brother. Thank you for this interview.
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.030
Thank you. Do do you have other guys
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:04.389
teammates that fought in this card as
00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:07.190
well? Yeah. So, Jared Warren, Captain
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.350
Deadpool, the the the main event, man.
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.190
The people's champ. That is one of our
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:12.790
team captains, and I look up to him to
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.790
say the absolute least. When you see a
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.949
guy like him, I mean, he's got what, 11
00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:19.589
fights in the BKFC. And was he one of
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.150
the reasons you got into into into BKFC
00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:24.309
or, you know, were you in MMA before or
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.949
anything like that? Yeah, so I uh MMA is
00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:28.949
my long game. UFC is where you will see
00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:33.110
me. Mark my words. But Jared uh Jared
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.150
Redneck Pitman, Brandon Allen, Jessica
00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:39.030
Boura, they all keep me at my best. I
00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:40.470
can't get in that gym and not get better
00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:42.070
every day, bro. I'm surrounded by top
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.910
tier talent and I'm grateful to say the
00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:46.229
absolute least. You mentioned Jessica
00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:48.869
Boura. She just went to Dubai and put an
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.589
absolute beating in 25 seconds to win
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.910
the championship. When you watch her
00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:58.150
fight or or train, I mean, it's I'm
00:02:58.160 --> 00:02:59.910
presuming it's a scary thing to see for
00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:02.309
other women probably. If I was a woman,
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.229
I would [ __ ]

hate to see that woman
00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:05.830
in my division, brother. Are you kidding
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.309
me? Grown men do not hit as hard as her.
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.790
I'm telling you, she has hit me harder
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.190
than most grown men have. That woman is
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.670
a [ __ ] problem, my friend.
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.229
Wow. I mean it. I ain't I ain't trying
00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:20.149
to be funny. She hits harder than most
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.070
grown men I know. They just announced
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.750
the fight with Dave Mandell in uh
00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:25.270
Albuquerque. I mean, I talked to him
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.350
yesterday. Obviously, now the gym is
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:28.630
looking at getting ready for
00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:31.110
Albuquerque. I mean, what is that like
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.589
when you have a champion in your camp
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.990
and and the preparation that goes into
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.990
that for those guys? It just keeps me at
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.070
my best, man. And I look for any
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.750
opportunity I can to help him in any way
00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:43.509
I can cuz obviously he's got the talent,
00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:45.509
the resources in anything. If he needs a
00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:46.869
[ __ ] water in between round, I'm
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:47.830
going to give him water in between
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.350
rounds. I look up to that man. And that
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.789
man, he won't take any of the credit cuz
00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:54.630
he's too [ __ ] humble. He has helped
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:56.149
me in my career more than he would
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.470
probably tell you. Any last words for
00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:00.229
for the fans that, you know, came out
00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:01.750
tonight and obviously the fans around
00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:03.110
the the world because this is the
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.710
internet. Yeah. Thank you guys for
00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:06.789
rocking with me, man. And uh if you
00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:08.710
don't have Jesus in your heart, I pray
00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:11.190
that he would invade your heart and wash
00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:13.509
your family clean by the blood of Jesus
00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:15.589
Christ. Thank you for wearing the shirt
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.550

blood and the sweat. And I ain't close
00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:43.920
