Andrew Strode battles Gee Perez for the interim BKFC flyweight championship at BKFC 78 on July 12th.

-grading himself a D or a C+ for his performance last time out that saw him defeat stalwart flyweight contender Tyler Randall
-how this interim title opportunity came about after several respectful efforts to fight BKFC flyweight champion John Dodson who has been more actively competing under the Rizin banner
-feeling like this isn't an interim title fight and that this contest with Perez is for the true flyweight championship
-believing a title unification bout with John Dodson does happen
-having close to two hundred amateur gloved boxing bouts as well as several professional gloved boxing bouts but wanting to be known as one of the great bare-knuckle fighters in the sport

-if he would ever want a fight with Alberto Blas someday

-wanting to become a three weight division BKFC champ someday
-losing his son and son's mother in a prior tragedy in the context of how much he shows reverence to their memory while using it as a driving force to want to achieve things for them

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
