00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:19.789
that and just how
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.030
amazing freaking it is to be in Bare
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.510
Knuckle from the beginning to now and be
00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:27.749
able to talk about it you can talk about
00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:29.510
this better than anybody maybe maybe
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:31.830
outside of David Feldman specifically
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.630
you can you can tell the story of BKFC
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.230
better than anybody out there as far as
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:38.230
the fighters are concerned i mean you
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:41.429
were on BKFC 2 and and just think about
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.390
being on BKFC 2 to now I mean we're in
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.429
the 70s now and you just fought in Dubai
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.030
yep worldwide now so now it's like man
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.910
and I feel like maybe Austin was the
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.469
first BKFC fighter to really do it but
00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:01.789
I'm definitely the first female to go
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.149
internationally and defend my belt and
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.830
bring it back to the United States where
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.109
it kind of started as far as our BKFC
00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:11.270
organization goes
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.589
what was what was that experience like i
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.510
mean fighting in Dubai and having been
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.030
through the

small cards I mean I don't
00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:20.070
know what they had in terms of
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.830
attendance in the first couple of cards
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.470
but going from that to you're fighting
00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:26.630
in I mean another country you're
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:29.110
fighting in obviously uh it's an
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.229
opportunity to defend your belt just
00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:35.350
that experience overall I think you know
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.589
most fighters always they're trying to
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.910
set like really high goals like you know
00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:41.270
because that's what makes us fighters in
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.430
that winning mindset then when reach
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:45.270
that goal you know it's time to make new
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.670
ones and I remember being really hard on
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.910
myself you know all I wanted when I
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:51.509
first started was just to have one belt
00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:53.589
that's all I wanted was one belt and
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.309
then I was like "All right well I want
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.350
to I have a belt." And everyone says
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.589
world champ world champ but I really
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.149
haven't fought anywhere outside of the
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.149
United States so I'm really just like
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.949
kind of a national champ so I really
00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:10.790
have been like pulling for that i really
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.309
thought the Thailand fight was going to
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.630
be something it didn't happen because I
00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:16.869
broke my hand so now just to be like
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.790
"Wow Dubai even better of an experience
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.790
honestly." So it's like it just shows
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.630
timing and everything happens for a
00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:27.350
reason but Dubai it was great it was it
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.309
was everything I wanted um for the most
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.390
part you know I feel like there were
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.509
some hiccups over there and but it makes
00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:37.910
sense because it was Dubai's first BKFC
00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:40.550
show obviously it is international and
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.550
there are different like cultural
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.309
differences that you saw that weren't
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.070
exactly the same as like some of the
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.630
cards you would see down in Florida or
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:50.789
out in Colorado so we had to be mindful
00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:53.270
of that but overall it was a great
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.710
experience i would say second favorite
00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:00.229
bare knuckle fight to date
00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:03.910
is the first in Sturgis it is it is man
00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:07.589
sturgis was just ah there's only one
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.509
little thing I would change about Sergis
00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:12.710
i mean to have a perfect fight camp
00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:14.710
everything at the fight was just so
00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:17.509
epically sold and and done beautifully
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.310
it was the still the largest attendance
00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:22.550
i mean the energy there is you know
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.310
unbeatable but the only thing I would
00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:27.110
have switched is I kind of like um had
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.270
like a little like I don't know if I
00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:31.510
want to say a fit or tantrum for like 15
00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:34.150
minutes after the fight you know I wish
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.590
I wouldn't have done that it happened
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.070
but I wanted to prove to my team so in
00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:40.550
Dubai I totally fixed that and we didn't
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.310
have that same issue but there was a lot
00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:44.390
of other issues that made it really not
00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:46.870
as great as Sturgis and just Sturis is
00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:49.430
just I mean bare knuckle boxing and
00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:51.749
motorcycles and just badass and just
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.469
free spirit it was the place to be you
00:04:54.479 --> 00:04:56.790
mentioned cultural in Dubai did they
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.870
make you dress a certain Do women have
00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:00.629
I've never been to Dubai do they make
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.150
women dress a certain way while you're
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:03.590
in Dubai if you're an American and
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.790
coming into the country because I mean
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.150
obviously they have different cultural
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.950
things so I chose to be like super
00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:11.350
respectful on it and be like in the fair
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.189
compromise like I try to not have my
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.749
shoulders or knees show like very very
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.749
rarely did I do that unless I was at the
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.469
pool or literally working out other than
00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:22.469
that I tried i didn't have to wear like
00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:24.710
anything special and I did do it on my
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.029
own free will it wasn't forced it wasn't
00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:29.430
written out and I would say honestly
00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:31.510
over there I was like "Wow this is
00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:34.950
cool." It was about I would say like
00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:39.749
6040 so 60% were either in like fully
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.110
clothed or or very very modest clothing
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.350
and then the 40% were just normal like
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.790
tank tops dresses whatever so I really
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.469
feel like at the end of the day if I
00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:54.550
chose to be you know even slightly
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.230
promiscuous I don't think it would have
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.710
even been an issue honestly i think they
00:05:58.720 --> 00:05:59.909
would have just been like whatever they
00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:01.670
would have accepted it but I didn't
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.990
really test those waters on that but I
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.510
felt great with it and they were very
00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:09.270
sweet and very nice no issues culturally
00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:12.150
whatsoever and I really did try to
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.270
refrain from cursing obviously I didn't
00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:18.550
drink in public at all but uh cursing I
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.469
really try to keep it to a minimum a lot
00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:22.550
harder than I thought but I never got
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.189
you know bad looks for it or evil eye or
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.189
anything like that
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.430
the fight
00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:31.189
itself the first round I thought was a
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.909
tough round but from round two through f
00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:36.469
five I thought you completely dominated
00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:39.990
the fight her you know Ty Emry's face
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.550
look like it got hit a lot and and it's
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.309
funny because I didn't think you got hit
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.710
all that much but then you had Was your
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.390
nose broken cuz it looked it looked so
00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:55.590
swollen like oh my so she got hit a lot
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.029
like but I thought you completely
00:06:57.039 --> 00:06:58.870
dominated the fight why did your nose
00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:01.430
get broken you You'll see i got that one
00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:03.749
little cut in the first round and that
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.749
sucked and then you know the other
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.270
rounds were what it was there was one
00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:09.110
other cut i can't tell when that when
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.830
that happened but my nose is fine rounds
00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:15.430
one two three and four and as always the
00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:16.950
fifth round I just go in and do
00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:20.070
something stupid and it was literally a
00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:23.110
one shot so my everything was fine until
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.510
that fifth round and that just shows and
00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:28.070
I was really like mentally cognitive of
00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:29.749
that like look Brit you're winning this
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.589
fight you got in the bag there was never
00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:34.230
a time I was worried that I didn't have
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.710
it even in the first round like the
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.790
first round I was just more mad at
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.029
myself that I kept moving to the left
00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:43.270
when I knew better to move to the right
00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:46.150
and like stay out of her power hand but
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.870
I just naturally kept going and d you
00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:51.510
know ditching to the left so I was upset
00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:53.589
about that but I knew she was going to
00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:55.589
come out hot and heavy the first round
00:07:55.599 --> 00:07:57.110
and that we just had to weather that
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.830
storm and then every round after that we
00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:01.990
would just you know break her down and
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.990
my placement and precision i was really
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.230
going for that knockout i really wanted
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.869
that so I was really just trying to set
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.270
it up so I wasn't trying to get too
00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:13.350
overly confident where I knew I had it
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.670
because I know one punch can change it
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.550
and in the fifth round she did hit me i
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.150
think she even said it was cute you know
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.070
I really love Ty Emory and we had a
00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:24.150
freaking epic fight and we had amazing
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.029
comments to each other that just make me
00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:28.869
smile and they'll be memories forever
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.350
but one of them she was like "Oh sorry I
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.029
broke your nose." And she literally when
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:34.149
she did it in the fight she was like
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.230
"You know she got me when" And it's
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.909
funny cuz her last fight she had broke
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.630
her other opponent's nose so she does
00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:43.350
have that power which everyone knew that
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.230
going into this fight so it sucks that
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.790
my nose got to be swollen for that peach
00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:51.910
at the end and look so crazy but overall
00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:54.870
back to normal so you're all healthy now
00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:57.190
and healed from from the fight now or is
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:58.949
there still some time i took my stitches
00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:00.870
out you can't tell it was funny i went
00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:02.870
to go scuba diving Saturday and I was
00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:04.949
super excited for it and I was like "Oh
00:09:04.959 --> 00:09:06.870
I had accidentally bumped my nose." So
00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:09.269
it doesn't hurt like right now it only
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.110
hurts if you hit it so if you hit it it
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.430
does hurt but I went and bumped my
nose
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.110
and I was like "Oh [ __ ] my nose is
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.190
broken i probably shouldn't be going
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:21.829
scuba diving." So refrain from that but
00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:24.110
um yeah it feels pretty good you know
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.949
honestly I've had my nose broken before
00:09:26.959 --> 00:09:28.710
this is like the fifth time it's been
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.550
broke so it's not like shocking in some
00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:36.150
aspect but it's literally six weeks baby
00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:38.150
it and then after that you never even
00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:41.030
for me at least it's in that six weeks
00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:42.790
it will hurt like a [ __ ] but after six
00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:44.710
weeks it's like magic it's just healed
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.590
and you're ready to go so you in your in
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.829
the postfight interview you got
00:09:50.839 --> 00:09:53.030
emotional what what went in because I
00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:54.790
mean you got emo like you really got
00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:56.310
like you're really emotional maybe I'm
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.030
crazy but what was that when you were
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:01.030
when you were speaking what was where
00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:03.829
did it come from what do you feel like
00:10:03.839 --> 00:10:05.910
you're overlooked by people do you feel
00:10:05.920 --> 00:10:07.990
like you're overlooked you know in some
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:12.070
way cuz I mean I re you're a fourtime
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.310
defending champion you've had the belt
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.150
five five you know you fought what six
00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:17.990
seven title fights I mean you fought the
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.389
best in the world where did all that
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.190
come from yeah I think sometimes
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.509
especially in this last like few weeks
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.949
after the fight like I had to really do
00:10:27.959 --> 00:10:30.870
like you know some soularching because
00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:33.190
after the fights it's like crazy for you
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.949
just don't realize it like win or lose
00:10:34.959 --> 00:10:36.630
it's like fighters go through this like
00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:37.990
all right we're getting off the roller
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.790
coaster and it's it [ __ ] is a it's a
00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:44.790
dip down and so I think in that moment
00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:46.790
thinking about that emotional speech is
00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:51.350
why it came out it's because man like
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.110
you know I feel like some somehow like
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.350
I'm still holding on to like pieces of
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.389
that like I guess identity crisis or
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.910
whatever it might be but you know I
00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:03.670
think that's my biggest struggle and
00:11:03.680 --> 00:11:05.269
weakness because of the things that have
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.590
happened in my past like my past life
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.030
before boxing my start in boxing even in
00:11:11.040 --> 00:11:14.150
my career it's like man I'm never I
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:16.069
don't like and now at this point wasn't
00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:18.230
in the fans like I know I'm loved i know
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.150
I have the support i know I have the
00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:23.269
respect of so many people it's it's wild
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.069
it's still like I still haven't soaked
00:11:26.079 --> 00:11:28.470
that in to where I really got that and I
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.190
know that my people closest to me you
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.949
know I feel like I I sometimes hurt
00:11:32.959 --> 00:11:35.030
their feelings like in the aspect where
00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:37.430
they don't I don't see what they see
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.550
because I'm still somewhere in the past
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:44.230
or or some one little event will trigger
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.630
man you
00:11:45.640 --> 00:11:48.630
know why like I've done everything like
00:11:48.640 --> 00:11:51.110
I've had 13 fights and that was kind of
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.030
like you know I try to keep it buried
00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:55.269
and and deep down and I think that's
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:56.710
what triggered it because you know my
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.389
nose broke i just got done with this
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.829
epic holy [ __ ] cardio intense throwing
00:12:01.839 --> 00:12:04.630
like 800 punches fight and when he was
00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:07.350
like yeah you're one of the best in BKFC
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.269
I was just like one of the best like
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.550
what I am the best like and I was just
00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:15.150
like for that moment it was just like a
00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:18.150
weird I don't know why like I don't know
00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:20.430
it was not what I was planning to say
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.110
and gosh if there's one thing I'm known
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.710
for that you know and then these tough
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.590
fights kind of bring out the the cuz
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.069
you're you know gosh you can only keep
00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:33.350
up your armor for so long outside of
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:34.550
camp and when you're getting ready for
00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:36.389
the fight but when you're exhausted and
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.350
drained everything out you realize who
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.509
what what's really going on deep down
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.509
inside when you're at your your most
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.710
tired and beat and you know like that
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.590
trauma was resurfaced you know it was a
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.230
bare knuckle
fight i did get hit so with
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.910
all that trauma it was kind of like
00:12:53.920 --> 00:12:57.269
almost like I was flashbacking to like
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.430
some of my deeprooted things that I have
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.110
going on and and with that fight
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:02.949
specifically it wasn't really to like
00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:06.150
the fans or the people but like kind of
00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:09.310
higher up you know like
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.110
man I don't want to like get into that
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.190
whole can of worms but I'm sure if you
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.269
know you
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.590
know and so yeah just to be there you
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.310
know I'm not on any of these these
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.389
promotional flyers you know I didn't get
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.150
don't get really flying out flown out to
00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:29.509
the events you know I had to fly fly 16
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.190
hours in in the back of the plane squish
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.590
straight up it was just the worst like
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.670
and it's just like kind of stems from
00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:40.069
that like man don't worry i I'll I'll
00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:41.990
overcome this obstacle i'm used to it
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.430
i'm used to it and it's almost like I
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.790
like have devalued myself from taking
00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:51.110
these fights against big names for not
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.829
any money or anything like that because
00:13:53.839 --> 00:13:55.350
I'm like well I'll prove it and I'll
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.829
I'll earn it and I'll show you that I'm
00:13:57.839 --> 00:14:00.389
worth it and it's like well you know
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.550
well now this time or now this time it's
00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:05.910
like man I'm never is it you know I'm
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.910
told that I'm capped out i'm never going
00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:09.670
to be anything bigger or better than
00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:13.030
what I am now in BKFC and that sucks to
00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:14.550
hear
00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:18.790
so you you have fought um the current uh
00:14:18.800 --> 00:14:22.710
flyweight champion twice um is being
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.389
that you I mean you've basically cleaned
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.230
the division out at Straw i mean there
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.389
might be the fight with you might have
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.150
to have a doctor's appointment with Dr
00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:32.550
sarah Shell i just heard she was a
00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:34.629
doctor they kept talking about as doctor
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.350
in the in the broadcast you know that
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.110
might be is that the only fight really
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.790
for you left at at straw weight or is
00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:45.030
there consideration or thoughts of
00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:47.269
trying to go up to fight uh for again at
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.110
flyweight cuz she seems to have cleaned
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.590
out flyweight
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.389
you know i think really fighting for
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.550
like guts and glory i think that's what
00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:58.069
that it kind of goes back to your other
00:14:58.079 --> 00:14:59.829
question that's what that speech came
00:14:59.839 --> 00:15:02.790
from i didn't say it the right way and
00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:07.030
gosh I really never do but that's really
00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:10.150
what it meant is like I'm done fighting
00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:12.550
for guts and glory i've done it i that
00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:14.710
is bare knuckle that is the face of bare
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:16.230
knuckle face of bare knuckle aren't
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.790
these people coming in from the UFC
00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:21.350
getting like you know like this is going
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.189
out there and earning it and showing
00:15:23.199 --> 00:15:25.030
everybody like I remember Felman's
00:15:25.040 --> 00:15:27.750
speech when BKFC first started and that
00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:29.430
was the dream that was sold to me and
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.750
that's the dream I carried out was we're
00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:33.590
going to give the people the ones with
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.829
true grit the ones that can't hide
00:15:35.839 --> 00:15:38.710
behind a an image can't hide behind
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.790
their their wrestling their jiu-jitsu or
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:42.790
their kickboxing the people that just
00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:44.949
really have it or don't we're going to
00:15:44.959 --> 00:15:46.790
find those people and we're going to
00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:48.310
make them [ __ ] diamonds and
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.509
superstars in our sport and so I felt
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.069
like it was a really fair even playing
00:15:54.079 --> 00:15:56.550
field and that I would show that I have
00:15:56.560 --> 00:15:59.990
that and so which I ultimately have and
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.870
now you know I don't I don't dislike the
00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:05.110
UFC starter stars coming in i don't
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.430
dislike that at all i think it's great
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.269
for the sport we get more following we
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.749
get more eyes on it but the ones that
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.389
have earned it and and worked for it
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.269
should be treated the same exact way if
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:21.030
not better than those guys so I'm going
00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:23.110
to make a stand for that so yeah my guts
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.910
and glory days are over you know it's
00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:29.990
got to be whoever it is if it's Misfit
00:16:30.000 -->
00:16:31.790
if it's
00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:35.350
freaking you know the doctor you know
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.910
I'm looking at man it's got to have six
00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:41.829
digits in it that's all that makes sense
00:16:41.839 --> 00:16:45.269
so do you have any idea of when you're
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:46.550
going to fight again you're obviously
00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:49.990
still recovering um is I'm guessing
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.910
Sturgis is not probably going to happen
00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:53.590
again since you did it last year and
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:55.590
you're still you what three months out
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.509
from there i mean are there any thoughts
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.629
of where you're going to fight next has
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:02.949
there been conversation uh I don't think
00:17:02.959 --> 00:17:04.390
there's been any conversation it's
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.150
pretty new um it's pretty still kind of
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.510
new and I'm still really like processing
00:17:10.520 --> 00:17:12.990
Dubai but again
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.470
um yeah I just I think you know I'm here
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.029
but uh you know my next again setting
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.510
that dream it's just naturally what we
00:17:21.520 --> 00:17:23.909
do as fighters and if we care about
00:17:23.919 --> 00:17:26.150
ourselves and value ourselves that's
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.309
just what I have to do you know I I
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.029
fought that Dubai fight not for the
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.350
money or anything like that i I had to
00:17:33.360 --> 00:17:35.990
tell myself and remember and remind
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:40.070
myself of man I know it sucks but Brit
00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:42.669
wanted to be a world champion and don't
00:17:42.679 --> 00:17:46.190
let dollar signs or anything prevent you
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.110
from fixing and following a dream that
00:17:49.120 --> 00:17:50.710
you wanted and your dream was to be a
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:52.230
world champion and fight overseas and
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.230
that's all should matter and so I've
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:55.990
done that and so now that I've done that
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.549
you know all that matters now is that
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:01.270
man I can't fight forever you know when
00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:03.590
I retire or or walk away what am I going
00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:07.350
to do you know like 13 fights 25
00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:09.750
professional fights there's there's
00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:12.789
there's repercussions to having wars and
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:18.150
I've had wars in BKFC and in boxing so I
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.470
need to start thinking about that now
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.230
and that's what's coming in the picture
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.310
now like what am I going to do when
00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:26.870
fighting's done you know I have been
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.390
breaking out into like the entertainment
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.270
world which I love i freaking love but
00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:33.510
that's even a starving artist career you
00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:36.950
know and man I'm just I want to find
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.310
something where I'm not a starving
00:18:38.320 --> 00:18:41.029
artist anymore are you trying to do is
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.510

00:18:43.520 --> 00:18:46.549

drop out so on top if you guys go like I
00:18:49.840 --> 00:18:52.150

Instagram thing that all helps me and
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.430
that was kind of like one of my big
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.909
freaking
00:19:04.919 --> 00:19:08.390
um I guess like gh heartbreaks in Dubai
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.510
cuz really all camp I was really
00:19:11.520 --> 00:19:13.830
motivated and excited because of the
00:19:13.840 --> 00:19:15.669
song and I was going to walk out to the
00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:18.070
song in Dubai so it was gonna be my song
00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:21.110
that we recorded and it was going to be
00:19:21.120 --> 00:19:23.710
so cool and it was just man I think I'm
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.310
still like I'm still living in the past
00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:28.310
on that and butt hurt on how great and
00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:30.950
epic that was supposed to be but hey we
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.270
can still like fix it and find ways to
00:19:33.280 --> 00:19:35.990
like make it really cool and I hope so
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.710
but that was one and then um you know I
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.549
was a a stunt fighter in two movies and
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.870
love that so that was really really cool
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.710
and I was really good at it and got a
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:48.630
lot of compliments on it so I hope that
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.350
I can use that as a portfolio to build
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:54.150
for other opportunities um but there's
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:55.909
always like little obstacles and
00:19:55.919 --> 00:19:58.150
starting over and you have to prove your
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.390
you know your your spot in the game i
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.230
hope I do and you know that's something
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:03.870
I'm going to start
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.390
exploring and I really haven't sat down
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.310
and really like really really tried
00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:10.150
because I've been really like stuck in
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.150
my own head over this bare knuckle thing
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.110
and and what am I and who am I and and
00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:17.270
why did I do this why did I start and
00:20:17.280 --> 00:20:19.830
it's like oh yeah and that's why I said
00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:22.150
I'm not one of the best damn it i'm the
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:24.630
fa I'm going to go down on this ship the
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:28.789
[ __ ] face of BKFC and if I have to be
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.190
and say it like that you know and that's
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.830
what I'm going to do i just actually
00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:36.310
it's funny i saw a movie last night uh
00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:38.190
on I think it was
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.110
Netflix michelle Wat who was in the UFC
00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:42.789
I'm sure you're familiar with her she
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.190
had a she had a role in this movie Havoc
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.830
where she was like the enforcer i don't
00:20:47.840 --> 00:20:49.590
remember when Ronda Rousey was in the
00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:51.990
Fast and the Furious and she really
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.669
didn't say any words there was no real
00:20:53.679 --> 00:20:55.990
dialogue was just go over and kick the
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.149
[ __ ] out of people
00:20:58.159 --> 00:20:59.830
is that is is that the type of role that
00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:01.350
you envision or you want to do i mean
00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:02.549
obviously you want to do more than that
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:04.710
but when you envision I'm going to be a
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.350
badass in a movie type of situation well
00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:09.590
that's what I thought would kind of end
00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:11.990
up happening and I'm totally down for
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.470
that like I'm so like hey anyone who's
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.470
looking to cast that role I'm that
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.909
person but my two movies that I was in I
00:21:19.919 --> 00:21:22.230
was just expecting to be that and they
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.350
were like "Well we're gonna give you a
00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:25.350
speaking part." I was like "Oh wow
00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:29.270
really?" And it was really cool like I
00:21:29.280 --> 00:21:31.510
you know very minimal again three
00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:33.669
minutes tops of screen time probably in
00:21:33.679 --> 00:21:36.710
both of them but I do feel like they
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.430
were good and and they were speaking
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:42.390
parts even if they were minimal and they
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.789
were [ __ ] badass and cool first one I
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:46.470
was like a secret assassin that was
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.870
hired to come in and kill somebody and
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.870
so I got the phone call so again you
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:52.710
know secret assassins don't talk as much
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:55.430
as I do but you know they're like "Yep
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:58.870
got it job done hell yeah let's go." And
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.669
then um the other one was cute it was
00:22:01.679 --> 00:22:04.710
funny i played a boxer so makes sense
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.950
and um I was just like questioning my
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.870
coach's guidance on sparring this guy
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.789
that I ended up knocking out which was
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.510
pretty cool so uh yeah I got the you
00:22:15.520 --> 00:22:17.750
know and I try to speak really well and
00:22:17.760 --> 00:22:20.470
I've had like commentating gigs i've
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:24.070
done a lot in in the entertainment and
00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:26.390
broadcasting world already just as pro
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.270
bono just to get experience so I can
00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:31.510
sell the fact that yeah I can do this
00:22:31.520 --> 00:22:33.029
this is something I'm good at and that
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.950
you should want me to be there and do it
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.950
talk about what the I mean I guess
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:40.470
earlier we mentioned you've been around
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.549
for the entirety of BKFC pretty much
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:43.789
from beginning to
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.710
now what has the what has Conor McGregor
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:50.549
meant to the BKFC in promotion has it
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:52.390
had an impact on your career and people
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:55.190
knowing you more you know what has his
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.990
impact been oh he's been the best like I
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.669
said he's been the best and he didn't
00:22:59.679 --> 00:23:01.830
come in you know just coming in not
00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:04.470
being like a not even fighting for bare
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:06.789
knuckle just coming back as a as an
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:09.590
advocate and spokesperson and basically
00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:11.430
taken over kind of really that big boss
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:13.270
role you know Felman's always there and
00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:15.990
in the face of it too and Felman's done
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.310
so much with it but and he got Connor's
00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:20.470
attention and brought Connor in and I
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:23.350
freaking love it i think Connor is that
00:23:23.360 --> 00:23:26.230
voice i really you know deep down
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.230
believe that and and still hope for it
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:29.830
and I've seen it with my own eyes and
00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:33.590
you know he's really busy and we all as
00:23:33.600 --> 00:23:35.510
we kind of grow in our careers and stuff
00:23:35.520 --> 00:23:37.430
and get around people like that we see
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.430
oh wow you know it's way harder than you
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:43.430
think behind the scenes and he's
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:46.230
somebody really cool that I look up to
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.789
in that aspect and and juggling the you
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:51.590
know just being a [ __ ] badass and
00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:54.310
awesome all the time but also his image
00:23:54.320 --> 00:23:55.990
and and juggling a family and
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.750
entertainment and this and that and that
00:23:57.760 --> 00:23:59.510
and that and that and always having to
00:23:59.520 --> 00:24:04.149
on so but I can tell you one thing when
00:24:04.159 --> 00:24:06.710
he is at the fights he is locked in he
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.990
is totally for it he talks so well he's
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.789
I love hearing his speeches getting the
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.350
crowds pumped up for the fights it's
00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:18.470
unbelievable to watch really and I think
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.669
that's what the sport needed and he's
00:24:21.679 --> 00:24:23.350
doing the damn thing he's helped me out
00:24:23.360 --> 00:24:26.390
so much i mean I remember in Spain he
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:28.070
didn't have to do that and it's so funny
00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:30.470
with that little stupid viral video with
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.149
the with the braids whatever but I mean
00:24:34.159 --> 00:24:36.269
I'm telling you I was sitting in my seat
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:39.909
back and he saw me and he was like and
00:24:39.919 --> 00:24:42.149
it wasn't just me you know with my my
00:24:42.159 --> 00:24:44.789
boyfriend my family he'll he'll pull us
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:46.070
all up like "Come on come on." I'm like
00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:48.070
"No no no." Like you know like they
00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:49.590
don't want trust me they don't want me
00:24:49.600 --> 00:24:52.149
up there and he's like "Get out of here
00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:54.070
come up like you get your ass in the
00:24:54.080 --> 00:24:56.630
ring." and he pulled me in the ring in
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.549
Spain and gave me a once- ina-lifetime
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.909
experience i forever be so thankful that
00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:06.310
would have never happened like exhibit
00:25:06.320 --> 00:25:09.029
and Kodak Black came down and and Connor
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:13.190
put me there like that was so cool and
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.990
genuine and I'm nobody really at the end
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.230
of the day to him but that's how I see
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.310
myself cuz I devalued myself and let
00:25:20.320 --> 00:25:22.549
other people around me devalue myself
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.430
but he you know rec real recognizes real
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:27.190
and and he isn't going to be somebody
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:29.990
who's like "Oh just let these these
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:31.510
small fighters sit in the back." Like
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:33.590
"No you're you're the [ __ ] face."
00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:35.669
He's someone who's motivated me to stand
00:25:35.679 --> 00:25:38.630
up for myself and say I think Connor's
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:40.230
even recognized me and said "I'm the
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:41.990
face of this organization i'm the face
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.269
of EKFC." He said it so if he said it
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:46.950
why can't I say it and why shouldn't I
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.470
make a stand for it and I expect
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.029
everybody else to like kind of [ __ ]
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.029
say it for me because it makes it a lot
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:57.110
easier but really it was it was him that
00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:58.950
gave me that you know what you're right
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:00.950
and and thank you for saying that and
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.669
seeing that it's none none of this other
00:26:03.679 --> 00:26:05.830
[ __ ] that people want to say like
00:26:05.840 --> 00:26:07.510
that was what's so funny about the Spain
00:26:07.520 --> 00:26:09.350
video like y'all are tripping on him
00:26:09.360 --> 00:26:12.310
pulling my hair he's with ring girls all
00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:15.110
the [ __ ] time you know as far as an
00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:18.549
image freaking the you know Forge Iron
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.470
Stout look at those girls like come on
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.990
are you really worried about Britain
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.029
Hart coming up with her damn braids and
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:26.870
you know being like pretty rugged and
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:31.830
tomboy's hell 50% of the time so it's
00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:34.310
cool i really feel like he sees me as a
00:26:34.320 --> 00:26:36.710
[ __ ] the fighter that I am and the
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.549
face of BKFC so yeah [ __ ] 100% ride
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:43.029
or die advocate for him being there did
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:45.750
you grow up watching wrestling WWE by
00:26:45.760 --> 00:26:48.789
chance just a question and no you're
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:50.230
going to laugh i actually didn't watch
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:52.870
TV until I was 14 like I never watched
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.070
anything so I was anti-T like the first
00:26:56.080 --> 00:26:57.590
time I watched something at 14 I was
00:26:57.600 --> 00:27:00.390
like whoa what is this i asked the
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:02.950
question because you know kind of what
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.110
Connor does is you know he's in non-stop
00:27:05.120 --> 00:27:07.430
promo like his promotion skills like
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.149
cutting promos he did it in the UFC he
00:27:10.159 --> 00:27:12.070
did it in and it's maybe just it's
00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:13.990
natural for him but for other people
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:15.510
it's like you're cutting a promo in the
00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:18.549
WWE they have a school for learning to
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.590
get on the mic and cut promos and
00:27:21.600 --> 00:27:23.750
promote your sport cuz I mean let's be
00:27:23.760 --> 00:27:26.149
real this is this is a I mean I don't
00:27:26.159 --> 00:27:27.430
want to call it a partnership between
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.230
fighters and organization but part of
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:32.310
promotion is the fighter promoting and
00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:34.310
talking and when you have and it's tough
00:27:34.320 --> 00:27:37.350
when you have fighters that don't speak
00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:40.870
like we need to build this thing to a to
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.070
a head whereas people want to watch this
00:27:44.080 --> 00:27:46.390
bad blood or animosity or just whatever
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:48.390
the crescendo that you know do you think
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:50.549
that that's something that should be
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:52.390
done with fighters particularly when you
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:53.830
have a guy like Conor McGregor who can
00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:56.149
really give education on you need to
00:27:56.159 --> 00:27:57.669
work on you need to look in the mirror
00:27:57.679 --> 00:27:59.110
and work on your mic skills because
00:27:59.120 --> 00:28:00.310
that's what's going to make you a lot of
00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:03.909
money yeah I do i totally do i think
00:28:03.919 --> 00:28:06.710
it's great but I think it needs to be
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:08.950
authentic and that's why Conor McGregor
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.110
is so successful because that really is
00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:14.470
him in a lot of aspects now I'm sure do
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.669
we you know as as fighters and
00:28:17.679 --> 00:28:19.750
entertainers do we flare it up a little
00:28:19.760 --> 00:28:21.510
bit yeah you know do we you know we make
00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:22.870
it a little bit more dramatic but at the
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:23.750
end of the day you're still
00:28:23.760 --> 00:28:26.870
authentically being yourself and and he
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:29.590
is that um I feel like if someone else
00:28:29.600 --> 00:28:31.590
to do it sometimes it's a little weird
00:28:31.600 --> 00:28:34.630
or much or why are you trying to do that
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:37.029
but if you can find something whatever
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:39.510
it is hone in on that and like you said
00:28:39.520 --> 00:28:41.190
learn how to cut promos to really make
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.029
that like that's why um doctor is so
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.710
awesome like she really she she nails
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:51.590
that and man I'm telling you if if she
00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:54.470
could come out wearing like a doctor
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:56.789
outfit and trunks or like a little
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.029
stethoscope or something yo I would lose
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.230
my [ __ ] i'd be like "Yo that's so cool."
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:05.110
Like I love that about her i honestly
00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:08.149
think Taylor Starling is a great one you
00:29:08.159 --> 00:29:10.710
know and she hasn't and she's a really
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.149
[ __ ] awesome case study to to watch
00:29:14.159 --> 00:29:16.789
for fighters that kind of grew and
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:18.389
really made something out of bare
00:29:18.399 --> 00:29:19.990
knuckle even though maybe she didn't get
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.789
the belt and she doesn't win all her
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:24.470
fights she's [ __ ] entertaining in
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:26.950
what she does and she's the killer be
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:29.830
that black and yellow it's so cool you
00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:32.310
know the any any time that I'm like
00:29:32.320 --> 00:29:34.630
honestly disappointed in Taylor is when
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.510
she like strays away from being her like
00:29:37.520 --> 00:29:40.110
I love her when she comes
00:29:40.120 --> 00:29:43.510
out dancing and being silly and goofy
00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:45.590
like that's her you know when she comes
00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:47.950
out all serious and stuff like that it's
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:51.110
like you know I mean it's so cool i'm
00:29:51.120 --> 00:29:53.590
not knocking her for it but I love that
00:29:53.600 --> 00:29:56.070
she's just this wild killer bee like
00:29:56.080 --> 00:29:58.310
that's super cool the doctor you know
00:29:58.320 --> 00:30:00.950
Lorenzo's got his thing ela the fighters
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.110
that really hone into that they're
00:30:03.120 --> 00:30:04.710
really making the name for themselves
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:07.190
and good for the sport and better for
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:08.789
the sport because you want to watch the
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.190
fights i'm not going to lie i don't like
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.630
I feel bad saying it but I don't watch
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:14.870
every bare knuckle fight anymore i think
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:16.470
you know I think sometimes the sport's
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:17.990
getting watered down i feel like that in
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:20.789
the UFC too you can't you don't the all
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:22.630
these guys coming up they're like man
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:23.990
it's hard to keep track of them and
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.190
especially when they don't have
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:28.389
something that catches your eye like a
00:30:28.399 --> 00:30:30.389
promo or something like that that makes
00:30:30.399 --> 00:30:32.870
sense that isn't silly or stupid or like
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.110
stretching too far you know but when
00:30:35.120 --> 00:30:37.510
it's authentic and organic those
00:30:37.520 --> 00:30:40.389
fighters are the coolest it you know the
00:30:40.399 --> 00:30:41.909
Andy
00:30:41.919 --> 00:30:45.110
um when the Craanian she's one of my
00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:48.230
favorite fighters to wa watch no matter
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:51.669
what because of of her personality and
00:30:51.679 --> 00:30:54.470
her showmanship it's so cool that girl's
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:57.029
my [ __ ] hero on walk outs that's why
00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:58.950
she
was actually my motivation for my
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:00.470
Sturgis walk out i was like you know
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:02.310
what i'm gonna just do it i'm gonna be
00:31:02.320 --> 00:31:05.029
like Andy and [ __ ] nail this and it
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:06.549
was the one of the coolest things that
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.310
I've done motivation from fighters like
00:31:08.320 --> 00:31:11.590
that just taking it up a notch outside
00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:16.909
of just skills pay the bills in the ring
00:31:16.919 --> 00:31:21.909
so do you have an in your mind i mean is
00:31:21.919 --> 00:31:24.470
there the is there the right now you've
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:25.590
cleaned them out like I mentioned you
00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:27.070
cleaned out the
00:31:27.080 --> 00:31:30.470
division who would you want to see next
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:32.710
and when would you want to see them for
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:35.909
me um I know that Amanda Serrano is like
00:31:35.919 --> 00:31:38.310
you know the she's popping in the
00:31:38.320 --> 00:31:39.909
biggest and the baddest and the best in
00:31:39.919 --> 00:31:41.590
the game everyone's talking about her
00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:43.190
she's that target on your back from
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:46.549
being you know with MVP and you know
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.110
that's hey guess what i've been the
00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:51.029
biggest baddest been talking about in
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:54.870
Bare Knuckles so either you know you
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:56.630
come over here to Bare Knuckle and see
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.509
what that's about or I go over to boxing
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.590
and we see what that's about but that's
00:32:01.600 --> 00:32:04.070
the fight that I really that's the fight
00:32:04.080 --> 00:32:07.990
that I think is the the a mega a mega
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.070
fight like the only fight left for
00:32:10.080 --> 00:32:12.070
people to like really turn heads and I
00:32:12.080 --> 00:32:13.509
don't mean it in like a bad or
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:15.909
disrespectful way but everyone in Bare
00:32:15.919 --> 00:32:18.110
Knuckle right starting off is
00:32:18.120 --> 00:32:20.549
like if I win people are going to be
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:22.470
like well of course Britain's gonna win
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.310
that girl only has two or three fights
00:32:24.320 --> 00:32:26.070
you know at the end of the day yeah I'm
00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:29.269
five and0 at straw weight but people
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.389
forget I'm also
00:32:31.399 --> 00:32:35.669
like eight well five and three at
00:32:35.679 --> 00:32:38.070
featherweight so that means I have five
00:32:38.080 --> 00:32:41.029
wins at featherweight which is bigger
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:43.669
opponents and like unadvant like a
00:32:43.679 --> 00:32:45.590
disadvantage to me like I still have
00:32:45.600 --> 00:32:49.190
five wins there too so you know I don't
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:50.350
know i feel
00:32:50.360 --> 00:32:54.310
like Christina the misfit that that
00:32:54.320 --> 00:32:57.630
fight you know no that's there to be a
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.389
twotime twoeight division champ that's
00:33:00.399 --> 00:33:02.789
going to turn heads or you know go into
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:05.149
the boxing world and having a super mega
00:33:05.159 --> 00:33:08.710
fight with one of their 115ers and the
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:12.549
best 115er I can think of is Amanda
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.990
when you bring that up I mean you
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.470
mentioned
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:18.230
the some stuff getting watered down
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.710
which I and when it comes to the UFC I
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.190
completely agree and I and it makes it
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:25.350
real hard to when you're trying to cover
00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:26.710
all this stuff it's like you're watching
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:29.509
a BKFC fight from 1:00 until 6:00 and
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:31.269
Then I'm watching a UFC card last night
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.470
from 7:00 until you know midnight and
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.909
and it it it is a lot i have felt for
00:33:37.919 --> 00:33:39.350
many years that the UFC's just become
00:33:39.360 --> 00:33:41.190
very very watered down and like they're
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:42.710
just throwing cards up there throwing
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:44.470
cards throwing cards and half the guys
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.630
you don't know who the heck they are you
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:50.070
know I see PKFC doing a lot of cards
00:33:50.080 --> 00:33:52.230
does that hurt or does that help in your
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.830
opinion from a fighter perspective
00:33:54.840 --> 00:33:57.990
because does it maybe take away from the
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.909
pomp and circumstance of a big event
00:34:01.919 --> 00:34:04.230
because you have more fights and then
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.509
the there's lesser known fighters on the
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.230
Absolutely some of I've been there from
00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:11.909
the beginning and I'm telling you when
00:34:11.919 --> 00:34:13.909
the Bare Knuckle first started and it
00:34:13.919 --> 00:34:17.430
was like one card a month those cards
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:22.069
were awesome everybody on it was so um
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:25.109
just like you were excited to watch all
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:27.909
of them you were really invested like I
00:34:27.919 --> 00:34:30.790
said that it really and it allowed Bare
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.349
Knuckle also to do their job in
00:34:33.359 --> 00:34:35.270
marketing it and like getting it out and
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:36.950
I don't blame them i'm not upset with
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:38.629
them in that aspect but I feel like they
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.470
have too much on their plate sometimes
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:42.790
and you can't
really nobody really like
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.349
the Dubai like the you know remember the
00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:47.589
Paige Vans fight there was the road too
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:49.829
like that's me and Paige started that
00:34:49.839 --> 00:34:51.669
whole road and spotlight thing but it
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.510
was done so well it was every Friday you
00:34:55.520 --> 00:34:58.230
know an episode was dropped now they're
00:34:58.240 --> 00:34:59.910
doing these spotlights they're dropped
00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:01.829
like the week of the fight no one's
00:35:01.839 --> 00:35:04.069
really watching them and it sucks
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:05.990
because we put so much time and effort
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.470
into them and they're so good but unless
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.069
you're invested personally in that
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:13.270
fighter you're not watching it but if
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.390
there's only one card a month guess what
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:17.910
you're waiting and getting hyped up for
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:19.589
that fight you might just watch it
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:21.589
because it's there you're pushing it you
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:23.349
see it and I'm like "Oh man I can't wait
00:35:23.359 --> 00:35:25.349
to this fight let's see what they're
00:35:25.359 --> 00:35:26.550
doing while they're getting ready for
00:35:26.560 --> 00:35:29.349
it." But if there's a fight going on you
00:35:29.359 --> 00:35:30.950
might be like "Well you know I'm going
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:32.550
to watch this fight and see how it goes
00:35:32.560 --> 00:35:34.230
and then wait for Brit's fight next
00:35:34.240 --> 00:35:36.630
week." But if there you know and that
00:35:36.640 --> 00:35:38.710
goes for all fighters not just my fights
00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:41.910
it's all fighters and I used to be so
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.230
excited to go to the fights i would go
00:35:44.240 --> 00:35:46.630
to like I would plan them now I'm like
00:35:46.640 --> 00:35:49.750
yo I can't like these trips are are
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.710
expensive like they cost money to go
00:35:52.720 --> 00:35:55.430
plane ticket and hotel and be there and
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:56.710
then next weekend it's somewhere and
00:35:56.720 --> 00:35:58.550
then you got to pick and choose and that
00:35:58.560 --> 00:36:00.870
freaking sucks you're like damn I can go
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:02.150
to this one but not this one but I
00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:03.109
really want to go to this one because
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:04.870
this one fighters on here but then this
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.030
one fighters on this card like why don't
00:36:07.040 --> 00:36:10.310
we put all the good fighters on one card
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:13.430
and and have it like that i think it
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:16.069
would be I think we could jack up prices
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:17.109
i feel like there would be an
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.790
exclusivity to it and like a a Christmas
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:23.349
factor you know not like if we have
00:36:23.359 --> 00:36:25.270
Christmas every freaking weekend guess
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.750
what christmas gets old after a freaking
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.310
year of that like you get I'm sick of
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.230
[ __ ] Christmas like wrapping presents
00:36:32.240 --> 00:36:34.310
and the paper and the tape and the
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:38.630
[ __ ] candy i'm done with it so I
00:36:38.640 --> 00:36:40.630
couldn't afford Christmas every weekend
00:36:40.640 --> 00:36:44.470
no I can't either i can't either no that
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:45.589
that is something that I've always
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:47.109
thought about because I you know I I
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:49.109
love combat sports and you know and
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.109
every time I watch US MMA and I'm
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.190
watching the UFC I'm like dude they have
00:36:53.200 --> 00:36:54.870
another another card and half these guys
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:56.630
I I you know they just picked up off of
00:36:56.640 --> 00:36:58.310
the street and you don't know who they
00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:59.670
are they're not building them like I
00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:01.190
remember when they did the Jose Aldo
00:37:01.200 --> 00:37:04.069
Conor McGregor promotion tour and that
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.550
was the most wild thing you'd ever seen
00:37:06.560 --> 00:37:08.310
and they haven't and I think maybe
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:10.230
because Aldo got hurt or whatever the
00:37:10.240 --> 00:37:11.829
week or so before the fight a couple
00:37:11.839 --> 00:37:15.270
weeks few weeks before the fight they
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:17.349
stopped doing them like I used to watch
00:37:17.359 --> 00:37:19.670
Embedded all the time like on on those
00:37:19.680 --> 00:37:21.030
pay-per-views and now I don't even know
00:37:21.040 --> 00:37:22.069
that they're out i don't even know if
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.069
they do them anymore and I think that's
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:27.109
really big for even for BKFC is that
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:29.670
exclusivity you're talking about because
00:37:29.680 --> 00:37:31.550
you know th those those
00:37:31.560 --> 00:37:34.950
uh now those events those big events I
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.829
think are really where it's at i mean
00:37:37.839 --> 00:37:40.069
that's just my thought yeah and it's
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:41.990
like man it goes back to the Christmas
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:43.990
analogy like what who doesn't love
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:45.750
Christmas like yeah we love combat
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:47.829
sports yeah we love fighters they're so
00:37:47.839 --> 00:37:51.030
cool but man like you you start to kind
00:37:51.040 --> 00:37:53.109
of diminish it a little bit when you're
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:57.030
doing it all the time like you need to
00:37:57.040 -->
00:37:59.270
get people worked up and invested into
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:02.710
it and I feel like that's why we fight
00:38:02.720 --> 00:38:04.870
you know we fight for ourselves too a
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.430
lot of the times but there there's a lot
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.030
of reasons why we fight that aren't
00:38:09.040 --> 00:38:11.109
ourselves and and so many people out
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:13.910
there that live vicariously through us
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.150
and watch that fighter and and literally
00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:18.390
get inspiration and it blows my mind how
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:22.230
many people are so truly deeply inspired
00:38:22.240 --> 00:38:24.710
and connect with fighters and so when
00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:27.270
you can build that not only you having
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:29.510
the combat sports world the
00:38:29.520 --> 00:38:31.430
entertainment world but you can actually
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:33.670
like make a difference in someone else's
00:38:33.680 --> 00:38:35.349
life just from building that attachment
00:38:35.359 --> 00:38:37.190
and that identity factor between a
00:38:37.200 --> 00:38:39.190
fighter and a fan that you might not
00:38:39.200 --> 00:38:41.109
ever really meet but they change your
00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:43.430
life
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:45.910
so you know wrapping up do you do you
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:47.510
train where do you train do you train in
00:38:47.520 --> 00:38:48.710
Virginia you train in South Florida
00:38:48.720 --> 00:38:49.910
because it's very sunny where you are is
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:51.910
that South Florida you're in now yeah
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:53.270
I'm in Florida i went back up to
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:55.349
Virginia for a little bit um my son
00:38:55.359 --> 00:38:58.550
lives up there and my OG team is up
00:38:58.560 --> 00:39:01.270
there um at Lux Boxing Gym in Danville
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:03.910
Virginia uh but then my Level Up family
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:05.750
actually just had a fight this weekend
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:07.430
and I have an apartment here in Fort
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.710
Lauderdale too so that's pretty cool i
00:39:10.720 --> 00:39:12.950
always like I feel like Florida's the
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:16.310
the the beautiful cursed places of all
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:18.190
times because if you live there for a
00:39:18.200 --> 00:39:21.109
year it's hard to ever I mean I lived in
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:24.470
Miami two years Tampa one year and now
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:25.910
Fort Lauderdale two years and I'm
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:27.910
telling you it's every time I go away
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:29.990
from it I'm like
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:31.750
yeah I'm born and raised here i'm I'm
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:32.790
born and raised in South Florida i live
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:35.030
in Pompo Beach so I grew up in Miami
00:39:35.040 --> 00:39:36.710
Beach i grew up in Miami Beach lived
00:39:36.720 --> 00:39:39.349
everywhere in Miami but uh No it's it's
00:39:39.359 --> 00:39:40.870
real sunny in the background and I know
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:42.470
most places don't have sun like it is
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.190
here it's It's different it's definitely
00:39:45.200 --> 00:39:48.390
different i I have one last thing um
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:50.349
there was an interview I saw with Dave
00:39:50.359 --> 00:39:52.870
Feldman where he said early on I think
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.630
it was maybe they were doing underground
00:39:54.640 --> 00:39:56.390
stuff before they went with their first
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:58.230
card that he took off his shirt and had
00:39:58.240 --> 00:40:00.310
to fight
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:02.790
like when you have a guy who a person
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:05.109
like that who you know isn't you know is
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:08.310
the owner and the founder and you hear
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:11.589
him say well a fighter didn't show up i
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:15.030
have a boxing background okay like what
00:40:15.040 --> 00:40:16.710
does that what does that do for you as a
00:40:16.720 --> 00:40:18.069
fighter in that organization when you
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:19.190
hear something like that that's just to
00:40:19.200 --> 00:40:22.230
me that's wild he's the reason why I
00:40:22.240 --> 00:40:24.230
started Bare Knuckle i knew Felman
00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:28.550
before BKFC um and from the boxing world
00:40:28.560 --> 00:40:31.030
i was actually at a fight where Bobby
00:40:31.040 --> 00:40:34.710
Gun who's a well-known bare knuckle
00:40:34.720 --> 00:40:37.990
boxing legend or a force in there when
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:40.310
he fought Roy Jones Jr who I have a
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:43.190
awesome connection with from boxing so
00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:45.750
um I was at that card where I met him
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:48.069
and I remember him being like "Wow."
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:50.670
Like he saw me fight this girl at
00:40:50.680 --> 00:40:54.470
135 and it was a Roy Jones Jr girl and
00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:56.309
by the third round I had everyone
00:40:56.319 --> 00:40:58.950
cheering for me to win and I fought my
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.349
ass off for that fight anyways he saw me
00:41:01.359 --> 00:41:04.870
there and you know like uh just you know
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.510
a dog knows a dog and David Felman at
00:41:07.520 --> 00:41:09.750
the end of the day is a [ __ ] dog and
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:11.430
you know and in a good way in the best
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:13.190
way like we going to bite down and do
00:41:13.200 --> 00:41:16.069
what we got to do and you know we've had
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:16.910
our
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:20.150
own path and and growing up and I think
00:41:20.160 --> 00:41:22.470
that's shaped a lot of our like grit and
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:24.790
tenacity and and what we believe in
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:26.309
sometimes
people might see it as
00:41:26.319 --> 00:41:29.510
stubborn or hard-headed or you know
00:41:29.520 --> 00:41:31.990
whatever but you know where we really
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:33.829
get along in that aspect where I think
00:41:33.839 --> 00:41:35.309
we
00:41:35.319 --> 00:41:37.510
understand where we started where we're
00:41:37.520 --> 00:41:39.510
at now and making the best of it so I
00:41:39.520 --> 00:41:41.589
know Felman's always had it in him to do
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:43.829
whatever it takes and when he started
00:41:43.839 --> 00:41:45.990
bare knuckle and asked me to come and

trading cards which we've been doing for
00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:43.270
a while and they're the coolest trading
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:45.030
cards ever you have a bunch of exclusive
00:42:45.040 --> 00:42:47.109
content and I feel bad because I've
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:48.790
really been like setting that card up
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:50.390
and making sure all that content's good
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:53.589
so I've been kind of slacking on my IG a
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:55.430
little bit but if you want to go see
00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:57.670
some behind the scenes and like only see
00:42:57.680 --> 00:42:59.270
it there all you got to do is buy the
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:01.430
card and then you're locked in for life
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:04.390
