Going to be honest, at first I was doing with Spence,
but after he had them too accidents, I shifted to
Crawford because you know I've been telling people. I said, bru,

Speaker 7 (03:13):
I felt it without even annoying like what to expect.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
So it was a divine internetion.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Was amazing, absolutely came at the right time. Yeah, Louigo,
tell them people about yourself. Maybe've got an amazing story
you just telling me go about but keep it. Really
people who don't understand Bulgaria and.
Speaker 8 (03:28):
What's going on, telling about yourself, Well, well here is
a small place in Europe, very small country, almost seven
minute people.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
I left it when I was twenty in personal for
a better life and went.
Speaker 8 (03:39):
To Abu Dhabi where my mother was before me, and
again by divine intervention, I got involved in president in
jiu Jitsu, one of the sons of the president at
that time, one of the sheikhs who organizes the best.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Graphty event in the world.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
So I got to train with the best people to
travel around the world, referee and judge also the event,
help organize them, and later on I decided to pursue
an MMA career, so I.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
Fought for a while, went back to Bulgaria. I opened
an academy there. I brought pretty much to President Jusion
to Bulgheia at that time. Then went back to Abudavi,
where the Sheik's older brother made juicies to Mandatorian schools
in the army.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
So I was head of that project.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
They invited me to be in charge of as TEKST.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
So we put in like one hundred thousand, twenty thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Po wow, A lot of homes got broken.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
It was a very big project, is still growing. When
I left there was about four hundred instructors and now
all seven hundred instructors watching more.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And more people wow.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
And went back to Bulgarian twenty twenty one.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I decided to go on my own.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
So I've been having that idea for mobile application that
came help fighters, promoters, managers, especially the ones that are
on a lower scale, you know, the white charts.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
So that's how I founded Fight Scouts. It's been going well.
We launched a year and two three months ago. It's
a good traction, a lot of people. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And you know what's interesting because Mino's gona appreciate this
because Mino's always putting us up on game on how
to be better and be more professional. He created the
LinkedIn of combat sports at yeah, so you can you
know what I mean, have your whole resume connect with
people talk about just like LinkedIn, how you can plug
it and get a job.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That's what.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And that's such a blessa you know, because we have
so many fighters around the world that they don't know
how to connect with you know nothing name with Jim Manager.
So that connection is man man, many people talking about
the Golchers they have faced two and we're going to
have ye for ras.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Sitting the announcers, all the things he go person elders
and bold and then you know, in gentle.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Man, anything that we can do and to help you
to make this the success man for sheez man, we
don't have a shiate because you.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Know what's crazy because the one thing he said to
me why he did it as a former fighter, because
people be faking in the game and then they don't
share information about this one didn't be dirty, so you
can say, oh that guy, yeah not.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Really yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You know, boxing has a black island for a long time.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
So when you come to a fight, like this or
this magnitude, and uh, it's been so hype for so long,
and uh, it's just a great thing because it brings
a lot of good people together that just stuff, you
know for boxing, and we have to just take it
to another level because if we don't do it, we're
(06:52):
supposed to do Boxting's gonna fall off.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Yes, yeah, I mean yeah, I don't think any sports
shuld relaxed because when he showed up with.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Boxing with MNA you know, now with the bear knuckles
coming out, a.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Lot of you know, disciplines, the third knulth involving catch,
you have to look at that mix and.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Make it you know, left behind. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He's bringing very knuckle fighting championships which has been disrupting
the game to Bulgary, you know, big spots, trading. What
do you think training overall? What do you think about
bare knuckle? First of all, are you entered this? You
think this is a new wave, you think.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's too brumal Well, I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
It's a gladiator sport and it goes back centuries the Gypsies,
that's what they did.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
So uh.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
In fact, the champion, now his grandparents were with Egyptian
world class very knuckle fighters Tyson furious right, so yeah,
and another one l L J L.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
His his grandparents were bare knuckle champions.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
People don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So you know, mamas say knock you out.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
People don't know that.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
See that's DNA, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So it's it's so much. But if we don't talk,
we don't know. That's why the communication is so important.
To talk, you know, from the the young and the old.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
See you know what I'm saying, you're the new school,
I'm the old school. I mean, so it's up to
us to let people know what's going on in the
Boston community, in the Boston world, and you know, bring
everybody together.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So everybody don't want to call.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It because people don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
They just see a fight and then everything else is over.
So if they have no information about anything else. Sometimes
they want to know about a fighter, they want to.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Know about a coach, they.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Want to know about the trainer.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
So that program that you have, that's gonna be a
phenomenal program.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Man.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
Yeah, that's that's what exposure something outside and they find
itself absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I think it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And speaking of people don't know, people don't realize how
much goes into the bare knuckle situation. Anyway, You tell
me when we drove up about the tryouts to be
in his first show and get tell me go about this,
like how people try out what they had to do.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Well.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Yeah, so we had the fighters that wanted to fight.
We created the form online.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
For them to apply to them and can filter them
out and see how many people to expect to prepare properly.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So we separated them into two groups. I was surprised
to see the.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Top of the buoyet fighting we came for the trials,
see it from the man and the books.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
They came out, came out and they were doing jobs and.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Whatever you know, the hes HE representatives as they to do.
There was no ego game.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
They were not there to play around or make selfies
or whatnot.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
They were very disciplined.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
So the actual trials were separated into three major elements.
We first did the photo shoots and then there was
some boxing, bag myths, shadow boxing, and camera.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Guys were recording each.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Of the fighters fighters they came up.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
They were total of sixty sixty three fighters pulled into
two groups.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, and then after.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That there was a video interview all the way classes.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Oh yeah, the big guys like guys, and then the
video interviews, you know.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Yeah, so you got to cut also, I'm sure you
had to cut. If you have sixty guys, you had
to cut.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
How many guys you Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, we ended up pulling pro fights.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
We only took uh, then getting guys that came out
six yeah, ten of the best, ten of the best,
and then we got ten different nationalities to facehold the
fight guards is more or less.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Bulgaria versus Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Maybe how many fights in the card?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, so so when you guys plan on starting, I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It's November seventeen. The they just confirmed the.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Venue is the biggest arena in Sophie's thousand seeds. Just
have to announce the fight side literally.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
They checking the sell out.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
What that's beautiful for me. Here's the crazy thing.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
They don't have no commission over there, no commission tell them,
I'm telling.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
What do you mean tell them? Because it's a commercial event.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
Legally, fos outside the jurisdiction of federations. Federations are amateur organizations,
all for profit, and that's a commercial event, so you can.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Do whatever you want so they only have permission for amateurs.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
So in his country, so you got free reign to
do whatever everything is said.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I said, Now everybody's going to be starting with him.
They yes, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You're gonna start coming to him, get rules and yeah
right yeah we still friend you sing, I'm not having
to do I said, everybody's coming to him now.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Man, what we just don't.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Have to do with it.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Exponsors, thank you, everybody eat.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yes, yeah, we have to.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Talk, yeah real, yeah, but I just think what he's
doing is though you know what I'm saying, especially fight Scout,
Like fight Scout.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Links people in the game to be pros I mean,
and be professionals.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Absolutely, Man, it's different. It's for different parts of the
work which makes you do right.
Speaker 11 (12:28):
So let me Actually it's not just all everything everything
problem And look if you don't know, if you don't
know a matchmaker, but you look at for a manager
just going in.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, so it's really gonna cut through the bullshit. It's
about everybody just plug right in. How many users you
have right now on.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
That registered just four thousand, pulls to four thousand.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I don't do them one thousand downloads.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I'm not even in America. I'm sorry, but it's not
even in America.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
We have users America, but it's not.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
We're just exactly, that's just so once they get here
about wide country.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh yeah you Andy your yeah, get the joint right now.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Oh yeah, we have fighters from We have to get
some strong commercials in America so we.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Can promote it exactly. Yeah joke.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Absolutely, absolutely, my man, here's better kill.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I mean, thanks to them, they even bridge the idea.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That gave me a lot of going for absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I'm gonna tell you what saw me on the joint
was when he said fighters can upload their medicals and
any commissioner on the States can go into the app
and see a guy's whole history instead of all of
the facts in the checking it behind you, the doctor
saying I heard of Yeah, you know I want to
be a part.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Of this.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
There is Yeah, man, that's crazy man, And it spoke
Areyan bro that.
Speaker 12 (14:00):
The other thing that James actually about the fight Scout
was we created this.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Feature where fighters can live stream training sessions or semin
out any content of their value and you and put
a price on it like a pay per view, and
they decide how much ornate and they take ninety percent
of the profits. So it actually allows fighters to monitize.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, everyone that uses the pay.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Per view, we only keep ten percent commission.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's that's fair.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Because he was even talking about he was even talking
about doing master classes. So if somebody want to teach you,
just do the agreement.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
And so if you're popular, let's say you're a very
popular fighter, but now your career is over like James
was talking about, right not. You know, guys, after their
contracts are expired, they pretty much fade away. But that's
a good tool for you to keep monetizing on your name.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Absolutely, especially coaches, Like very few people focus on the coaches,
but we have a coach.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. Thing, we got a rock at this.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We have to man, this is a good right you
got you got something good man.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
That's the feedback from guys like you know, I thank
you for having more than that.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We have never had that boxing box. Just think about it.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
You get the football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I also think box had nothing.
Speaker 13 (15:30):
All the all the other sports in the in the
US like NFL, and know that they are so much
more advanced in technology.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
I mean they were using technology years ago, you know,
to identify.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
New talent and his course and whatnot.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
And in the comb with sports were segregated on every
level wise, but the style segregated, federations segregated, so everyone.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
More or less operates in their own know that universe.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's called divide and contract man exactly.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
So I just want to have one place where if
you and I want to work, how do you find Yeah,
I won't be able to go in one platform filtered
by sporty day events, whatever filter.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You want, right is there? Right, It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I like it too because you can even do things
like a coaches round table.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Mm hmm, I mean you can do.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I mean it's access to all the information.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Helps the coaches too because when they're out of the
job or something.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It gives the other owners and different people.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You can look at their platform, you can look at
them and going in and see everything they've done. And
you know, opposed to just knowing somebody like.
Speaker 10 (16:41):
That, we're all relying on personal connections exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
So that's yeah, you really.
Speaker 14 (16:46):
Want you have to know someone that knows someone and
that's there's no thing growth and end up motil The
game has changed, Joe.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Man, I tell you it's at the thing, and it
really is, because that's what it's about.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's not about getting old. It's about growth. Man. It's
a lot of people get old but they have no growth.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
So the name of the game is growth. Yes, and
then everything you're doing it says growth.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
All over it. Facts. So yeah, I love the fact
that you know saying he comes over here.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah, because man, hey you have to America is the
Meilting Party.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
This is, but you got to come and get it
all the way, right.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I just need the reason.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, you're putting Bulgaria on the map too, man, because
some people might feel under exposed or may not understand
your country and know much about it.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
The country is small, like the focus was never get
it even focusing on focuses Europe, right, and we're just
that be in one place, but Europe. There are so
many countries out there that it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Make sense to focus on the country.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
Fighters are the most important things.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Who makes it where? Don't make it matter. I'm from
you can fight.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
But it's just a good place because it's still relatively
inexpensive compared to other European countries surrounded by countries that
like in our culture, we love common sports, like when
there's getting guy fighting on an important event, the president.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Comes back.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
The cameras.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
It's not like Central Europe where society in general rejects
our sports.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
You know, the.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Treaties is violent, So of course there are fans, but
society in general has a.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Different view on com sports.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Yeah, and where you're from, but pauland check Republic, Turkey.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Greece, the Falcons, you know, all these kind of men.
We do love people market.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
So let me ask you a question. How long does
a bare knuckle fight around?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Last? Two minutes?
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Around like five round two minutes, very hug full time few.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
So what type of because I've seen they had something
like a.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Panic, a wrap that finishes just before the knuckle, so
then the knuckles are.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Fully exposed.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
All enough, even this part Yeah yeah yeah it finishes.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Wow, it's him.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Wow. And I also think, what what made before in
love with that with that rule set? Because I watched
it online.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Came in came into us last year he was October,
remember that then, and actually saw an event life in
Man and that's when I fell in love. Why because
there was no that the rules eliminate problemgation.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
No one is feeling out the other guy.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
There's no running target, there's.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
No stalling like you can't get one jack can based.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
They stay in the center.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
So how big is the ram?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
How big is it?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Ringing?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Me? Uh? In feet?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I don't know, eight meters opposed to a boxerene.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
It would be like like a like a cercle.
Speaker 15 (20:20):
Okaycle seven meters Okay, Yeah, I went on avent a
bare knuckle of bet in Tampa BKFC And yeah, first
of all, the ship was in the quick that was
the other thing.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
And I want to a number versus other companies. They're
not playing man like. As soon as it goes down,
they're going in the win perishes. You can't yeah at.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
All, one one punch.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
So is that is that gonna be the new U
f C or m m A. Is that gonna be
the takeover?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
What do you think? I?
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Well, the one clear thing that at least my analysis
or my take on that, is that it is obvious
the industry is looking for right.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Yes, we saw fights in trianglear ring.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
Yeah, we see online two versus one, three versus three,
and all sorts.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Of pillow fighting, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, I mean I think, uh, the.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Amount of information that we receive today begs for they
content models, and I think because he provides something very unique.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Because it's quick, it keeps your adrenaline.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Every fight you watch, it's like two guys fighting in
front of you, pattistation, you know, like they're witnessing.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
A real fight. Yeah, real street fight.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
And that goes like fights over and you know you
you have goose bumps.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
The next fight goes on.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
It's like it's an adrenaline.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
It definitely gives the audience way more obtions.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And I think now it's kind of around itself out
it's its own that it's gonna stay. And I say
that because it's given veteran fighters who Dana White is
done with you now they're like.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Oh, come over here, Whereas before that I'm like, he.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Tell me I can't fight no more.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Now bier Nuncles there film and they're going right to
and they making a good matchups too.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
It's spice that you would have never seen New York
scene that b KMC is doing.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I like that and I can't ways to come to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah, and it mixing styles polling malagnology for it.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
What do you f the artum little bit love blow Bob.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Before him polygnology to a boxing. He fought beer number
where that was he was in sales and temple. Oh yeah, yeah,
he fought one of the common records.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Dudes, make man, it's gotta be a lot of blood
in that bro A lot of blood.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Whether a lot of brother knows this a fight without.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Straighten, more blood than mm A, you know, with the elbows.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Well his fight and so you respect that.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I mean, there's a less chance of injury because your
only have hissed to the head and one or two
more you're out.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But you can also lose your life or one blow.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
That's the game.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
So let's talking to these young fighters at the champ
convention and it was a bunch of them, and I
let them know when you get in that ring, first
of all, protect yourself at all times. See and just
understand this is a hurt game. It's a paining game.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So if you're not gonna eat, sleep and dream it,
don't do this man. Correct, you know what I'm saying,
because you can lose your life in this ring.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
That was just staying one of my fighters.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
And so I went to referee an event in Russia
and I was out of shape. I had like one
of them they fight a month ago to grappling.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Events and then I was deep, you know, my body
was recovering not But.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
When I arrived there, the guys are like, eh, one
of our one of the fighters didn't show up.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
You want to take the fight, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Wow, who am I fighting?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
And they said that Russian.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
Name who was at that time very popular Russian fighter
he called in the USC.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
But I've only seen one of his fights.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
In fact, if you don't mind, I will say the
full story because there is a filmatic.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So I only remember that one fighter is all the guy,
and I.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Remember he didn't know Jujus that well. Although he won,
he was very vicious.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That was his strong point.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
He was. He was very strong us good balance like
obviously former symble or Julil.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Or something like that.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
But I remember he fought the Brazilian guy was famous
Brazilian Juju's guy, and I thought the Brazilian guy made
a mistake.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
So as the guys asked me, I make a quick decision. Yeah,
that guy didn't know like Jews is okay and I'm
gonna vince choking.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
But the other referees, my colleagues started telling that one
of them referee, they broke his arm during the event.
He didn't that on another event they broke.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
His foot, you know.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
So they were admiring how tough he is, although they
didn't realize I just accept.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Him to fight him.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
I didn't. I didn't need.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
But so that's like two days before the event, we
weigh in.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I was on spot and the guy.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
Was cutting maybe nine or ten kills, so he was
just a bigger person than him.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
You physically.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
But everyone was very appreciated the fact that the fight
to the co main event of the night.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
He was a big name, you know. So anyhow, on
they have the event.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
The guy who is fighting the main event against the
Russian is guy from Filing. And I know these guys
from filming because I worked with them, and I saw
his face.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Was very like worried, and I'm like, man, let me
get you a you know, just relaxed.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
I wasn't under pressure because I didn't went through three
four months.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Of preparation exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It was like, you know, so I take him.
Speaker 12 (26:12):
There, you have teeth and there was this big window, uh,
next to the cafeteria, and I see across the street
the big building with edy D screen showing an advertisement
of the event, and it's it's then when I saw
highlights the I'm fighting.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So I saw more than just got fighting.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And I'm like, man, well I got myself.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
And I was standing red.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I finished off in the second round.
Speaker 16 (26:44):
I ate so many punches to my head that he
cured me of fear. You know, I was taking places
after that fight, eyes open, like.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
You didn't you didn't go into your just I went.
Speaker 8 (27:01):

the back, but he managed to slip one of his
legs and turned face to face and funishment started and
went up and down.
Speaker 16 (27:44):
He was the only guy that actually put me in
my ass in my career, and I had a knockout
or kne down, I'd put me.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
That that's usually happened when big and stronger.
Speaker 17 (27:55):

One absolutely could you did you call it that way
or did you take something else?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Going to be honest, at first I was doing with Spence,
but after he had them too accidents, I shifted to
Crawford because you know I've been telling people. I said, bru,
your body cannot take that type of exposure if you're
a fighter, because it takes a.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Lot of it. And so he was ejected you don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
He was ejected from the car and actually and then
he messes out, so come to find out he had
rent the stuff messed up.

I was like, I don't know, man, spens this and
average because he was right.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Because yo ain't gonna lie. I thought it was gonna
be a split decision Crawford. I did not see total domination.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
That was at least I was expecting was a drug.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yes, that would have been.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Great because you know, a great riss that's right, but

grand Yeah, there.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Was a high all over the place.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
I felt it without even annoying like what to expect.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
So it was a divine internetion.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Was amazing, absolutely came at the right time. Yeah, Louigo,
tell them people about yourself. Maybe've got an amazing story
you just telling me go about but keep it. Really
people who don't understand Bulgaria and.
Speaker 8 (03:28):
What's going on, telling about yourself, Well, well here is
a small place in Europe, very small country, almost seven
minute people.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
I left it when I was twenty in personal for
a better life and went.
Speaker 8 (03:39):
To Abu Dhabi where my mother was before me, and
again by divine intervention, I got involved in president in
jiu Jitsu, one of the sons of the president at
that time, one of the sheikhs who organizes the best.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Graphty event in the world.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
So I got to train with the best people to
travel around the world, referee and judge also the event,
help organize them, and later on I decided to pursue
an MMA career, so I.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
Fought for a while, went back to Bulgaria. I opened
an academy there. I brought pretty much to President Jusion
to Bulgheia at that time. Then went back to Abudavi,
where the Sheik's older brother made juicies to Mandatorian schools
in the army.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
So I was head of that project.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
They invited me to be in charge of as TEKST.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
So we put in like one hundred thousand, twenty thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Po wow, A lot of homes got broken.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
It was a very big project, is still growing. When
I left there was about four hundred instructors and now
all seven hundred instructors watching more.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And more people wow.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
And went back to Bulgarian twenty twenty one.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I decided to go on my own.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
So I've been having that idea for mobile application that
came help fighters, promoters, managers, especially the ones that are
on a lower scale, you know, the white charts.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
So that's how I founded Fight Scouts. It's been going well.
We launched a year and two three months ago. It's
a good traction, a lot of people. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And you know what's interesting because Mino's gona appreciate this
because Mino's always putting us up on game on how
to be better and be more professional. He created the
LinkedIn of combat sports at yeah, so you can you
know what I mean, have your whole resume connect with
people talk about just like LinkedIn, how you can plug
it and get a job.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That's what.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
And that's such a blessa you know, because we have
so many fighters around the world that they don't know
how to connect with you know nothing name with Jim Manager.
So that connection is man man, many people talking about
the Golchers they have faced two and we're going to
have ye for ras.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Sitting the announcers, all the things he go person elders
and bold and then you know, in gentle.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Man, anything that we can do and to help you
to make this the success man for sheez man, we
don't have a shiate because you.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Know what's crazy because the one thing he said to
me why he did it as a former fighter, because
people be faking in the game and then they don't
share information about this one didn't be dirty, so you
can say, oh that guy, yeah not.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Really yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You know, boxing has a black island for a long time.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
So when you come to a fight, like this or
this magnitude, and uh, it's been so hype for so long,
and uh, it's just a great thing because it brings
a lot of good people together that just stuff, you
know for boxing, and we have to just take it
to another level because if we don't do it, we're
(06:52):
supposed to do Boxting's gonna fall off.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Yes, yeah, I mean yeah, I don't think any sports
shuld relaxed because when he showed up with.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Boxing with MNA you know, now with the bear knuckles
coming out, a.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Lot of you know, disciplines, the third knulth involving catch,
you have to look at that mix and.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Make it you know, left behind. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He's bringing very knuckle fighting championships which has been disrupting
the game to Bulgary, you know, big spots, trading. What
do you think training overall? What do you think about
bare knuckle? First of all, are you entered this? You
think this is a new wave, you think.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's too brumal Well, I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
It's a gladiator sport and it goes back centuries the Gypsies,
that's what they did.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
So uh.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
In fact, the champion, now his grandparents were with Egyptian
world class very knuckle fighters Tyson furious right, so yeah,
and another one l L J L.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
His his grandparents were bare knuckle champions.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
People don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So you know, mamas say knock you out.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
People don't know that.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
See that's DNA, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So it's it's so much. But if we don't talk,
we don't know. That's why the communication is so important.
To talk, you know, from the the young and the old.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
See you know what I'm saying, you're the new school,
I'm the old school. I mean, so it's up to
us to let people know what's going on in the
Boston community, in the Boston world, and you know, bring
everybody together.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So everybody don't want to call.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It because people don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
They just see a fight and then everything else is over.
So if they have no information about anything else. Sometimes
they want to know about a fighter, they want to.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Know about a coach, they.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Want to know about the trainer.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
So that program that you have, that's gonna be a
phenomenal program.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Man.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
Yeah, that's that's what exposure something outside and they find
itself absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I think it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And speaking of people don't know, people don't realize how
much goes into the bare knuckle situation. Anyway, You tell
me when we drove up about the tryouts to be
in his first show and get tell me go about this,
like how people try out what they had to do.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Well.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Yeah, so we had the fighters that wanted to fight.
We created the form online.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
For them to apply to them and can filter them
out and see how many people to expect to prepare properly.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So we separated them into two groups. I was surprised
to see the.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Top of the buoyet fighting we came for the trials,
see it from the man and the books.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
They came out, came out and they were doing jobs and.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Whatever you know, the hes HE representatives as they to do.
There was no ego game.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
They were not there to play around or make selfies
or whatnot.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
They were very disciplined.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
So the actual trials were separated into three major elements.
We first did the photo shoots and then there was
some boxing, bag myths, shadow boxing, and camera.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Guys were recording each.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Of the fighters fighters they came up.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
They were total of sixty sixty three fighters pulled into
two groups.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, and then after.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That there was a video interview all the way classes.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Oh yeah, the big guys like guys, and then the
video interviews, you know.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Yeah, so you got to cut also, I'm sure you
had to cut. If you have sixty guys, you had
to cut.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
How many guys you Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, we ended up pulling pro fights.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
We only took uh, then getting guys that came out
six yeah, ten of the best, ten of the best,
and then we got ten different nationalities to facehold the
fight guards is more or less.

What that's beautiful for me. Here's the crazy thing.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
They don't have no commission over there, no commission tell them,
I'm telling.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
What do you mean tell them? Because it's a commercial event.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
Legally, fos outside the jurisdiction of federations. Federations are amateur organizations,
all for profit, and that's a commercial event, so you can.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Do whatever you want so they only have permission for amateurs.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
So in his country, so you got free reign to
do whatever everything is said.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I said, Now everybody's going to be starting with him.
They yes, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You're gonna start coming to him, get rules and yeah
right yeah we still friend you sing, I'm not having
to do I said, everybody's coming to him now.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Man, what we just don't.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Have to do with it.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Exponsors, thank you, everybody eat.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yes, yeah, we have to.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Talk, yeah real, yeah, but I just think what he's
doing is though you know what I'm saying, especially fight Scout,
Like fight Scout.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Links people in the game to be pros I mean,
and be professionals.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Absolutely, Man, it's different. It's for different parts of the
work which makes you do right.
Speaker 11 (12:28):
So let me Actually it's not just all everything everything
problem And look if you don't know, if you don't
know a matchmaker, but you look at for a manager
just going in.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, so it's really gonna cut through the bullshit. It's
about everybody just plug right in. How many users you
have right now on.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
That registered just four thousand, pulls to four thousand.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I don't do them one thousand downloads.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I'm not even in America. I'm sorry, but it's not
even in America.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
We have users America, but it's not.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
We're just exactly, that's just so once they get here
about wide country.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh yeah you Andy your yeah, get the joint right now.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Oh yeah, we have fighters from We have to get
some strong commercials in America so we.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Can promote it exactly. Yeah joke.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Absolutely, absolutely, my man, here's better kill.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I mean, thanks to them, they even bridge the idea.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That gave me a lot of going for absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I'm gonna tell you what saw me on the joint
was when he said fighters can upload their medicals and
any commissioner on the States can go into the app
and see a guy's whole history instead of all of
the facts in the checking it behind you, the doctor
saying I heard of Yeah, you know I want to
be a part.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Of this.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
There is Yeah, man, that's crazy man, And it spoke
Areyan bro that.
Speaker 12 (14:00):
The other thing that James actually about the fight Scout
was we created this.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Feature where fighters can live stream training sessions or semin
out any content of their value and you and put
a price on it like a pay per view, and
they decide how much ornate and they take ninety percent
of the profits. So it actually allows fighters to monitize.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, everyone that uses the pay.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Per view, we only keep ten percent commission.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's that's fair.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Because he was even talking about he was even talking
about doing master classes. So if somebody want to teach you,
just do the agreement.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
And so if you're popular, let's say you're a very
popular fighter, but now your career is over like James
was talking about, right not. You know, guys, after their
contracts are expired, they pretty much fade away. But that's
a good tool for you to keep monetizing on your name.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Absolutely, especially coaches, Like very few people focus on the coaches,
but we have a coach.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. Thing, we got a rock at this.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We have to man, this is a good right you
got you got something good man.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
That's the feedback from guys like you know, I thank
you for having more than that.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We have never had that boxing box. Just think about it.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
You get the football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I also think box had nothing.
Speaker 13 (15:30):
All the all the other sports in the in the
US like NFL, and know that they are so much
more advanced in technology.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
I mean they were using technology years ago, you know,
to identify.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
New talent and his course and whatnot.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
And in the comb with sports were segregated on every
level wise, but the style segregated, federations segregated, so everyone.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
More or less operates in their own know that universe.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's called divide and contract man exactly.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
So I just want to have one place where if
you and I want to work, how do you find Yeah,
I won't be able to go in one platform filtered
by sporty day events, whatever filter.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You want, right is there? Right, It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I like it too because you can even do things
like a coaches round table.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Mm hmm, I mean you can do.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I mean it's access to all the information.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Helps the coaches too because when they're out of the
job or something.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It gives the other owners and different people.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You can look at their platform, you can look at
them and going in and see everything they've done. And
you know, opposed to just knowing somebody like.
Speaker 10 (16:41):
That, we're all relying on personal connections exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
So that's yeah, you really.
Speaker 14 (16:46):
Want you have to know someone that knows someone and
that's there's no thing growth and end up motil The
game has changed, Joe.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Man, I tell you it's at the thing, and it
really is, because that's what it's about.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's not about getting old. It's about growth. Man. It's
a lot of people get old but they have no growth.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
So the name of the game is growth. Yes, and
then everything you're doing it says growth.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
All over it. Facts. So yeah, I love the fact
that you know saying he comes over here.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah, because man, hey you have to America is the
Meilting Party.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
This is, but you got to come and get it
all the way, right.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I just need the reason.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, you're putting Bulgaria on the map too, man, because
some people might feel under exposed or may not understand
your country and know much about it.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
The country is small, like the focus was never get
it even focusing on focuses Europe, right, and we're just
that be in one place, but Europe. There are so
many countries out there that it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Make sense to focus on the country.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
Fighters are the most important things.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Who makes it where? Don't make it matter. I'm from
you can fight.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
But it's just a good place because it's still relatively
inexpensive compared to other European countries surrounded by countries that
like in our culture, we love common sports, like when
there's getting guy fighting on an important event, the president.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Comes back.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
The cameras.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
It's not like Central Europe where society in general rejects
our sports.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
You know, the.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Treaties is violent, So of course there are fans, but
society in general has a.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Different view on com sports.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Yeah, and where you're from, but pauland check Republic, Turkey.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Greece, the Falcons, you know, all these kind of men.
We do love people market.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
So let me ask you a question. How long does
a bare knuckle fight around?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Last? Two minutes?
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Around like five round two minutes, very hug full time few.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
So what type of because I've seen they had something
like a.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Panic, a wrap that finishes just before the knuckle, so
then the knuckles are.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Fully exposed.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
All enough, even this part Yeah yeah yeah it finishes.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Wow, it's him.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Wow. And I also think, what what made before in
love with that with that rule set? Because I watched
it online.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Came in came into us last year he was October,
remember that then, and actually saw an event life in
Man and that's when I fell in love. Why because
there was no that the rules eliminate problemgation.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
No one is feeling out the other guy.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
There's no running target, there's.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
No stalling like you can't get one jack can based.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
They stay in the center.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
So how big is the ram?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
How big is it?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Ringing?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Me? Uh? In feet?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I don't know, eight meters opposed to a boxerene.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
It would be like like a like a cercle.
Speaker 15 (20:20):
Okaycle seven meters Okay, Yeah, I went on avent a
bare knuckle of bet in Tampa BKFC And yeah, first
of all, the ship was in the quick that was
the other thing.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
And I want to a number versus other companies. They're
not playing man like. As soon as it goes down,
they're going in the win perishes. You can't yeah at.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
All, one one punch.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
So is that is that gonna be the new U
f C or m m A. Is that gonna be
the takeover?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
What do you think? I?
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Well, the one clear thing that at least my analysis
or my take on that, is that it is obvious
the industry is looking for right.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Yes, we saw fights in trianglear ring.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
Yeah, we see online two versus one, three versus three,
and all sorts.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Of pillow fighting, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, I mean I think, uh, the.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Amount of information that we receive today begs for they
content models, and I think because he provides something very unique.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Because it's quick, it keeps your adrenaline.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Every fight you watch, it's like two guys fighting in
front of you, pattistation, you know, like they're witnessing.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
A real fight. Yeah, real street fight.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
And that goes like fights over and you know you
you have goose bumps.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
The next fight goes on.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
It's like it's an adrenaline.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
It definitely gives the audience way more obtions.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And I think now it's kind of around itself out
it's its own that it's gonna stay. And I say
that because it's given veteran fighters who Dana White is
done with you now they're like.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Oh, come over here, Whereas before that I'm like, he.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Tell me I can't fight no more.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Now bier Nuncles there film and they're going right to
and they making a good matchups too.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
It's spice that you would have never seen New York
scene that b KMC is doing.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I like that and I can't ways to come to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah, and it mixing styles polling malagnology for it.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
What do you f the artum little bit love blow Bob.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Before him polygnology to a boxing. He fought beer number
where that was he was in sales and temple. Oh yeah, yeah,
he fought one of the common records.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Dudes, make man, it's gotta be a lot of blood
in that bro A lot of blood.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Whether a lot of brother knows this a fight without.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Straighten, more blood than mm A, you know, with the elbows.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Well his fight and so you respect that.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I mean, there's a less chance of injury because your
only have hissed to the head and one or two
more you're out.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
But you can also lose your life or one blow.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
That's the game.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
So let's talking to these young fighters at the champ
convention and it was a bunch of them, and I
let them know when you get in that ring, first
of all, protect yourself at all times. See and just
understand this is a hurt game. It's a paining game.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So if you're not gonna eat, sleep and dream it,
don't do this man. Correct, you know what I'm saying,
because you can lose your life in this ring.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
That was just staying one of my fighters.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
And so I went to referee an event in Russia
and I was out of shape. I had like one
of them they fight a month ago to grappling.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Events and then I was deep, you know, my body
was recovering not But.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
When I arrived there, the guys are like, eh, one
of our one of the fighters didn't show up.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
You want to take the fight, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Wow, who am I fighting?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
And they said that Russian.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
Name who was at that time very popular Russian fighter
he called in the USC.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
But I've only seen one of his fights.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
In fact, if you don't mind, I will say the
full story because there is a filmatic.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So I only remember that one fighter is all the guy,
and I.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Remember he didn't know Jujus that well. Although he won,
he was very vicious.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That was his strong point.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
He was. He was very strong us good balance like
obviously former symble or Julil.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Or something like that.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
But I remember he fought the Brazilian guy was famous
Brazilian Juju's guy, and I thought the Brazilian guy made
a mistake.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
So as the guys asked me, I make a quick decision. Yeah,
that guy didn't know like Jews is okay and I'm
gonna vince choking.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
But the other referees, my colleagues started telling that one
of them referee, they broke his arm during the event.
He didn't that on another event they broke.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
His foot, you know.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
So they were admiring how tough he is, although they
didn't realize I just accept.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Him to fight him.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
I didn't. I didn't need.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
But so that's like two days before the event, we
weigh in.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I was on spot and the guy.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
Was cutting maybe nine or ten kills, so he was
just a bigger person than him.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
You physically.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
But everyone was very appreciated the fact that the fight
to the co main event of the night.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
He was a big name, you know. So anyhow, on
they have the event.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
The guy who is fighting the main event against the
Russian is guy from Filing. And I know these guys
from filming because I worked with them, and I saw
his face.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Was very like worried, and I'm like, man, let me
get you a you know, just relaxed.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
I wasn't under pressure because I didn't went through three
four months.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Of preparation exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It was like, you know, so I take him.
Speaker 12 (26:12):
There, you have teeth and there was this big window, uh,
next to the cafeteria, and I see across the street
the big building with edy D screen showing an advertisement
of the event, and it's it's then when I saw
highlights the I'm fighting.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So I saw more than just got fighting.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And I'm like, man, well I got myself.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
And I was standing red.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I finished off in the second round.
Speaker 16 (26:44):
I ate so many punches to my head that he
cured me of fear. You know, I was taking places
after that fight, eyes open, like.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
You didn't you didn't go into your just I went.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
I went in fact that I missed him like I
did everything as I as I imagined, fold of business.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Went to the ground, almost took the back. He took
him down. Uh well I fell with him, okay, God,
got fell down. He was just.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Let you get that you just and I missed him
like if I if I.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
Didn't miss that footoor or whatever there was like small
taking the thing he sweeping It was no.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
I I spinned for the back and I almost took
the back, but he managed to slip one of his
legs and turned face to face and funishment started and
went up and down.
Speaker 16 (27:44):
He was the only guy that actually put me in
my ass in my career, and I had a knockout
or kne down, I'd put me.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
That that's usually happened when big and stronger.
Speaker 17 (27:55):
Yeah, but just the fact that she took the fight
like well, that was my inputation in Russia from that
moment the doors rush, you know, then I had a
relationship there did.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
