0:06
and we're back yeah it threw me
0:13
off it was a little abrupt a little abrupt um before we get
0:19
to our fan questions we have a big announcement from Dual bits we do yes apparently dual
0:28
bits is offering a way that you can pick your own thing to bet on mhm yeah so if
0:36
you say what's the chance of a straw weight 69 in the next straw weight
0:44
fight over under plus I don't know 125 yeah plus 125
0:52
negative like 700 definitely going to be a Str 869 and then you can send that to
0:58
dual bits via their what's it called their Discord or their
1:04
uh what what is it called this is horrible this is a hor I don't have my phone help you telegram via their
1:11
Discord or Telegram and send them your custom ideas for something to bet on and
1:17
they will send you a price on the betting knots so the team of experts will say straw at8 69 well they're two
1:25
Strikers so probably not going to happen we'll give you a negative 200 plus 150 odds for that to happen and
1:34
then you can bet on it so they'll put it on the platform and you can bet on it that way I think that's pretty cool
1:39
right absolutely yeah what would you pick uh for a straw weight 69 no no no
1:46
like what's what's something that you would go for I would go for like I mean it could be like a headbutt it could be a nutshot yeah that would be fun or um
1:55
you could say something simple like Sean Brady would be able to Gilbert Burns
2:01
within one minute of the first round like what are the odds of that and you send them your custom bets and then they
2:07
send you back the odds and then you can play them yeah I love that idea mine would be all
2:14
fouls most likely to end in robbery via
2:20
decision oh plus like n negative 1,000 I
2:25
I still forget what how the odds work but basically it's the short thing [Laughter]
2:31
because the decision uh yeah it's uh that's a fun one to do definitely check it out dual
2:40
bits they power the show and they can power your pockets as well so check them
2:48
out um anyway back to our fan questions yes I'm pretty sure we hit all
2:54
our hit all our points there um oh uh okay here's one uh is no gonna
3:05
suck can Usman get the title back is below is bow goober the biggest question
3:12
of all will Dana and John get married wow okay green 49285 has a bunch of questions any of
3:20
those jump out to you that you want to answer um I don't think Dana and John will get married but I'm sure that they
3:25
will vacation together I'm sure that they do like um holiday dinners
3:31
together double dates with power slap double dates with power slap for
3:41
sure hey he said it too so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be the only one cut for
3:47
saying I can't
3:54
believe it's okay it's a bonus content no one watches this one
4:01
I can't believe you sometimes oh my
4:08
goodness I can see them browing out to get how about uh is noj gonna suck we
4:14
kind of covered that and the last episode but I think it's going to be a pretty fun feat I think it's going to be
4:20
a good one yeah I think it's going to be a good night um I think that there are
4:25
uh there's just going to be like a special energy about it unless people get like motions sick from the sphere
4:31
yeah that's the thing I haven't seen any actual like concerts or anything that happen in SE the you somebody like sent
4:39
videos it looks wild like there's I don't know how they're going to like man
4:45
the sphere while the fights are going on yes but like I really hope they
4:51
don't have like any kind of Animation going on while it's fighting you know
4:56
cuz like cuz you look at traditional fights um they'll you know dim the lights around and then the
5:01
spotlights on the fighters so they can like really focus in and there's you know very little distraction for the
5:08
fighters so they can just you know focus on fighting each other yeah um so I just I wonder because when the concerts are
5:14
going on it is it is full on like pictures everywhere it's like everything's in motion and I feel like
5:21
if I was in there I would get really dizzy yeah I'm wondering how many days
5:26
to production people have to practice cuz you know when we go in for weigh-ins a lot of times we see them doing the
5:32
practice run it'll be like one of the chicks who have a headset on they're like doing the walk out and they're
5:37
playing a song and then they mimic like facing off against each other I feel like they have to do that for a few days
5:43
in order to like get all the cues right for the sphere because there's so many cameras there's so many cameras so many
5:49
pictures usually it's just like the one like strip ribbon yeah the ribbon across
5:55
like the the what do you call it like the the seats and then you have the big
6:01
screen in the middle and then those are really the only things that get broadcasted to the audience but with the
6:08
sphere it's like every single part of the ceiling is broadcasted to the audience so I feel like it'll either be
6:16
really cool or really weird and gross and you're going to have a seizure like it was like like remember those old
6:22
cartoons it's like don't sit too close to the TV screen cuz you're going to be like like I feel like that's going to
6:28
happen a lot and if you're fighting to decision it's going to be a weird decision like I guarantee decisions are
6:36
going to be weird because everyone including the judges are going to be distracted yeah it'll be interesting to
6:42
see what they do I mean they're I I I know that it's a really
6:47
cool big exciting thing and there's so many possibilities of things that you can do visually and it's just it could
6:53
be absolutely insane but I hope that I'm sure I hope that they're just taking the
6:58
the fighters into consideration like that this is you know what we're focusing on what we need to focus on
7:04
while the events going on yeah you know what they should show like little periodic highlights on the outside of
7:10
the sphere for everyone who couldn't get tickets just you're driving by and you see [ __ ] yes Me Knocking out the
7:17
Brazilian girl like oh [ __ ] wait crash yeah that'd be dope that'd be cool um so
7:22
we don't think it's gonna suck and uh yeah that that's too many questions green you you get to
7:30
um she said I didn't you're done we're cutting you off um oh uh have you ever
7:38
trained in Thailand yeah okay well Mike c857 is asking what are the benefits of
7:45
training in Thailand and if he thinks that round three will pull off the upset
7:50
I think he trains there full-time um I think the benefits that I see are just
7:56
like the the complete Focus that you can you can completely immerse yourself in
8:01
your training camp there's no distraction especially when you go away
8:06
for fight Camp um sometimes like the day-to-day things it's just a little bit easier to get distracted it's a little
8:12
bit easier to you know get get sidetracked but there I think that you
8:18
can really focus it's hard training I'm sure that he has a whole camper on everything that he
8:24
needs um yeah I I think that it's just important to
8:30
kind of isolate so that there are there's nothing else that you need to focus on um well you know uh cyborg is
8:38
famous for getting her benefits from Thailand well
8:46
easy so the another benefit is that it's hard for yada to get out there or newada
8:54
I'm I'm not sure who they are now but it's hard for them to get out there it's easy to avoid them if you are on a
9:01
regiment out there it is outside of the US in general outside of the US
9:07
um I like I don't automatically expect people to be on it but I know if you
9:13
wanted to be on it out there you definitely could just go to the grocery store yeah go to the grocery store go to the S there's like a guy with a a little
9:20
table outside of the gym with all all the things that you need and there's also a person to distract the agents
9:27
when they come so like oh she's at the beach I don't know where she is oh I don't know so um Round
9:35
Tree did get uh popped for something that he took inadvertently that was for DHE EA that's the same thing that I okay
9:43
accidentally took and reported so it's very common the thing that he got popped with and that's like a thing that people
9:50
have been talking about a lot with uh with that announcement they're like how does this guy get get the opportunity
9:57
after that happened well because I mean one thing aside like doctors like a doctor prescribed it to me he
10:04
recommended it to me a doctor recommended it to him this is something you can get over the counter it's not
10:10
you know an an anabolic steroid it's just um something you can get over the counter and something why does it raise
10:16
red red flags because they say that it can it's to help you recover faster it's to help recovery and they say that it
10:22
can elevate your testosterone level so that you can you know recover in between training sessions a little bit faster
10:28
but there's not not a whole lot of like crazy scientific data that says that it's as um I don't know as as helpful as
10:38
everybody makes it out to be it's just it's one of those things but um when when I was taken I was new
10:45
it was like really new in the testing pool and I thought I was taking uh
10:52
something else and when I took it I believed my doctor and I didn't know
10:58
that I was I didn't know I was doing anything bad so I wrote it down on my intake form on the claim for a few
11:04
fights right and then eventually they were like oh wait no I think it was I
11:09
think I got tested twice and I wrote it down or or once but I know that I'm really bad at taking supplements so I
11:15
would it's not like I was taking it for that long uh but I was suspended for 18 months for that luckily he was only
11:20
suspended for six months because that seems a lot more um uh fair fair of of a sentence to be
11:30
honest uh especially for an unintentional use but uh you wanted to use me as an
11:36
example yep it sucks yeah you Sada how could you you should have been training
11:41
in Thailand I know they never would have found you they never would have gotten you um so yeah I I agree with the focus
11:50
thing too that there's a lot of um it's just so cheap out there so you can just
11:57
live off of whatever you saved up up not break the bank the biggest thing that you pay for is plane ticket out there
12:04
you're living there fighting there um you have train you have coaches that you
12:09
can pay like five bucks a session you can focus on your own self you don't
12:15
have to be in the big class where you see like a million people training on the mats trying to you know have a train
12:22
cation or whatever you can just like you know have your private sessions go relax on the beach eat come back more private
12:29
sessions it's it's a nice way to just cut yourself off from the outside world and I feel like here you're always going
12:36
to be bugged with life like a lot of Fighters go to different training camps in other states for the same reason yeah
12:43
you know you go away from your family you stay at this camp for like two or three months and you come out stronger
12:50
than you would have if you were surrounded by all the distractions and it sucks to say that your family is a
12:56
distraction but you know it is fighting is a selfish sport you have to really I
13:02
mean you're you know at the end of the day you're the only one out there um you're the only one that can get you to
13:07
where you need to be and if people are distracting and and pulling you in
13:12
different directions it's just it's not conducive to the focus that is required yeah how you like him against uh
13:20
p i I see why they made the matchup I think you know there can be fireworks
13:25
either way khil has power knockout power he has highlight real finishes um and
13:33
you know p is you know on a whole another level so I I understand why they
13:38
want this matchup I think it you know is is setting up for success in
13:44
fireworks um I I I think that Pera is on
13:49
another level with his his size his strength his power at at 205 MH so well
13:54
I think it can be an exciting matchup I I still see p is hand raised
14:00
yeah yeah it I'm I need to watch more tape of khil Cu he's been on a tear in
14:07
the last like five or six fights he's really been doing work and I feel like
14:12
whenever you get a striker who's really dominant you got to beat him with another Striker it's not going to be
14:18
that [ __ ] hot wrestler that has no striking that's gonna you know take him out it's got to be Striker versus
14:26
Striker to get him on his back foot to understand when to block and when to
14:32
counter and when to slip and all that stuff like when you have an elite level Striker like that I feel like the best
14:38
way to beat him as a striker look at Yanna and Rose you know like that was the best way to take Yanna off the
14:44
throne to give him someone who understood the offense that was coming at him as opposed to just shooting for
14:50
the takedown which is what the striker at that Elite level expects everyone's
14:55
going to shoot for the takedown so I got to watch more tape to really sink my teeth into like an upset for
15:03
Round Tree if if that's possible but I mean if you just look at his highlights
15:08
he's so violent in in a different way from p p is a little more um he's more
15:14
composed he's a little more yeah unassuming with his violence he'll gently like take he's like the Grim
15:21
Reaper just like tap you're done K will throw everything at you he has power he
15:27
has cardio yeah has volume and he'll he'll just come forward relentlessly and
15:33
that that to me can be dangerous for a lot of opponents but for somebody like
15:38
Pera it it worries me a little bit just because p is such a sniper with his with
15:44
his moves and with his power yeah but I I always go back to that adosa fight where he was able to get P down and it
15:51
was so surprising like what and then when you saw him on the ground he looked a little vulnerable I feel like that was the only moment he's ever looked
15:58
vulnerable in his UFC career I feel like if khalil's able to mix it up but still
16:03
lean heavily on his striking he can make it look like one of those like beat down give me back my money
16:11
fights that he loves to do like kick him in the chest like just pound on him that
16:17
kind of thing he he takes advantage of people being vulnerable khil does and I
16:22
think that's the biggest uh place where p is going to be working on where he's
16:29
going to be making sure he's never going to be in a good position where khil can just get off his nasty like kicks and
16:35
punches especially the ground and pound that khil does is is really unique to
16:41
MMA I haven't really seen anyone else be able to pull it off like him so that's going to be a fun one H I'm so excited
16:48
for khil uh to pull off the upset but like the fandom that P is going to
16:55
create from another win possibly another knockout is going to be insane yeah um
17:02
what do you think about uh Trey the panda is asking why
17:08
isn't there more female head coaches I mean I think it
17:13
[Music] goes to the number of female competitors
17:18
you know we have less female competitors but it's not that there aren't any I think that there are just not big names
17:24
yet but I think that women are slowly breaking through I think it's still just kind of like the sport it's male
17:30
dominated mhm and I think that there is room for improvement in that area I think there's room for you know women
17:37
after they kind of stop competing after they have all that experience and then they transition into coaching is where
17:44
we'll see that more I think we'll see it in the future to be honest yeah yeah I do too um the more you see women going
17:51
through the motions of debuting fighting retiring coaching that's when you're
17:58
going to start seeing more and now you start to see some like a a few of the girls that we were on tough with they're
18:04
they've transitioned into coaching positions now and uh yeah it's just one
18:09
of those things that take time we're we're still pretty young in the sport uh we just got weight
18:16
classes you know it was like 15 years ago there were no weight classes for
18:21
women they we all just hey you you girl girl fight each other doesn't matter if
18:26
there's a 40 PB difference that's what went down just yeah that's what my first
18:32
fight was you're both girls yeah you're both girls yeah
18:38
Ste so now you see people who've gone through that transitioning into that coaching um position if they're not
18:45
jaded from the whole the whole uh thing and not neurologically
18:51
unfit to be a coach uh did you hear that thing that Ronda Rousey is saying she's
18:56
neurologically unfit to fight again yes I did hear that is that like a concussion thing or was she just talking
19:02
okay okay it's kind of like why Claudia gelia uh retired yeah um it's it's just
19:09
something that that happens when you take a lot of uh damage through uh and I mean she was an Olympic Judo you know
19:16
medalist there's a huge case of concussions in Judo you use your head to
19:21
base out yeah there's a lot of instances um where people have to retire from Judo
19:27
and I think that that just kind of translated even though she was young in her MMA career she still had a lot of years and miles on her from
19:33
Judo yeah yeah people forget that when you're winning in Judo you're still getting concussions yeah it's a rough
19:39
sport it is a rough sport it's yeah yeah all right well um what else did you want
19:45
to talk we we have a bunch more questions I can keep asking questions story hug up the whole thing
19:53
it's story time we can talk about fights later um well try the panda also asked
20:00
I'm going to give him two questions I mean it's only fair it's only fair cuz other guy got like 50 so Trader Panda
20:07
also asks what's the differences you've noticed between fan interactions with
20:12
guys and girls well I'm not a guy I yeah but you've seen it but now I'm just
20:19
[Music] saying or are you we still need to give you a gender
20:25
test there might be an ex in there somewhere or y not sure which one it is no there's definitely an
20:31
X there might be a y what's your why I think I'm too squishy for the why what's
20:37
your why Jess it doesn't matter doesn't matter um I think
20:43
the on on screen or in person is is a
20:48
big difference he didn't specify so tell me what the difference is well if it's you
20:55
know in screen on the screen DMS there's a lot more dickpics I'm sure that
21:01
females get than males get there's a lot more um inappropriate
21:08
um requests requests thank you thank you see you know where I was going with that
21:14
I think there's a lot more inappropriate requests um although I do hear I do talk to some males and I do hear that they
21:19
they kind of get similar requests you know it depends on the vibe they give off fishing on yeah yeah if you give off
21:27
that vibe that you're a ho then you're going to get a lot of you know cot shots as well a lot of a lot of
21:35
boobs a lot of that kind of stuff in your DMs yeah I think in person male or female I have I have noticed a pattern
21:42
that people are a lot more Mindful and polite and proper with their interactions in person with the women
21:48
yeah with the women and men oh okay yeah that's what I've noticed I think um I think some male Fighters have gone into
21:56
a few more scuffles with the with male fans and you know the females have but
22:02
no yeah well you don't want to be the guy that calls out that gets into a fight with a girl like that's never
22:09
going to look good whether you win or lose it's still a woman and you started
22:15
it because this fighter was just sitting around minding her business and you decided to be a dick um but you do get
22:23
that uh I don't know I feel like it's some kind of like uh mental disorder
22:28
where guys just want to get their ass kicked well we saw like with morab hopping over the fence at what was the
22:35
it was the cji yeah yeah I think he yeah I think he was at the CGI um you know
22:40
and then as soon as morab hopped the barrier and walked up to him he he started being a lot more polite you know
22:47
weird how that happened we saw um who is it that is uh having to do like an
22:52
anti-bullying campaign oh uh serian cian we saw him we saw him charge I think
22:58
that male male on male Fighters male fans on male Fighters I think they can
23:04
be a lot more out of pocket yeah yeah and that guy just like yelled yeah but
23:09
like imagine yelling at a woman fighter or not like that's going to make you look like a dick yeah way more than
23:16
doing being aggressive towards a guy like if you're being aggressive towards a guy that you know can kick your ass
23:22
then it almost looks like bravery after you've had a couple drinks
23:27
I'm sure that line is very blurred oh yeah I'm so brave I called out ganu and
23:33
he didn't do [ __ ] like yeah because he'd kill you and then he'd be in jail yeah like that's
23:39
why but the same won't be for for me if you talk [ __ ] to me you're just going to
23:44
look like a bully whether I'm a fighter or not so I think I think people understand that and they they're usually
23:51
really respectful of space the one thing I think is funny that I'm not sure if guys experienced this but like when you
23:57
do the fighter photo like photo with the fighter and they like put the hand around their lace sometimes they're like
24:04
really tight you they're like excited and I'm like I wonder if that happens
24:10
with the guys cuz I feel like it probably does but I'm wondering how often that happens with the guys I
24:16
wonder we'll have to ask we'll have to ask some people and then you also get the hover hand it's like the exact opposite of that reaction it's like I'm
24:22
so excited I don't want to touch you and make you feel like I'm weird or feel my clammy hands so I'm just GNA hover like
24:28
they're like posed over your shoulder like this it's the Kiana Reeves he never touches people
24:35
yeah the hover hands you get a lot um but yeah I think I think the biggest
24:40
difference is you get a lot of people uh doing the hard I thing and you know
24:46
complimenting you and and that type of thing aside from your fighting whether you look like dog [ __ ] or not that
24:53
happens more on the female side than the guys like yeah
25:00
yeah it's cute I should uh send some guys some hard well no I can't I'm married but you guys should send some of
25:07
your favorite male Fighters heart eyes just so they can feel that love that we feel all the time because everyone needs
25:14
love I do star eyes usually star eyes is f on the male on the male Fighters just
25:20
cuz you know I'm like I don't yeah that's going to get you a dickpic though exactly it's still going to get you a dick so star eyes thumbs up we can't do
25:27
it you guys have to do it we're going to they're going to get their wires
25:34
crossed I can't do that with any Brazilian fighter they'll be like oh yeah what's up hey hey how you doing I
25:40
saw I saw you commented on my picture how's it
25:45
going but it is nice to be love it's like the little spoon thing you know guys love to be little spoon sometimes
25:52
they need to be spooned yeah they're not going to they're not going to ask for it because who's going to ask for that who's a real manly man everybody likes
26:00
compliments yeah exactly spoon spoon your favorite male fighter they're gonna
26:05
love you for it all right disclaimer under that
26:11
comment right [Laughter] there um someone asked what's next for
26:17
Angela ghost UFC and uh you know the thing that sucks is that you never
26:23
know hopefully I don't get cut but not I'd be surprised but they've cut you
26:31
know you know more accomplished Fighters than me in the past um so I think
26:39
whenever you get into this point where you're just kind of waiting it's good to
26:44
focus on the things going on around you like I have you getting ready for a fight Corey McKenna she's gonna come
26:51
down and she's getting ready for a fight too both in October um there's grappling
26:56
tournaments going on so there's is always like that trying to get ready for something like that to keep me in the
27:01
gym keep me active and then hopefully I can get one before the end of the year
27:07
but it seems like everything's booked up so I'm hoping that I'll get to mix it up
27:12
again I'm trying to fight your girl karolina I would love for that to happen she's back in the top 15 I think so I
27:20
think that would be a fun one just because we're about the same age two old gals going at it two little Grandma
27:26
looking leave her alone stop it we throw hard
27:32
candy at each other we can make a knitting
27:38
Circle and our pre-fight like [ __ ] talk we'll just both try to knit faster than
27:43
the other one H I think that I think that'll be a fun
27:50
fight um and you know if I'm lucky maybe I'll get to fight up but we'll see uh
27:57
yeah it's just a waiting game right now I know there's a handful of people who don't have fights announced yet um and
28:03
so I'm looking at all those people Lemos is one of them so I'm like wan to do it
28:09
again wan to do it again and uh yeah there's there's there's a handful of
28:14
people in the top 15 that would love to fight but uh we just got to see how things shake out I also have my list of
28:21
upcoming strawweight fights so we'll see if any of those girls can't make it to
28:27
the line to the finish line and I'll be ready for him because I'll be training with you and training for Jiu-Jitsu [ __ ]
28:34
and yeah just train chain train chain chain all day and enjoying my new house
28:40
yes yeah yeah um like we we still got to figure out uh what the new setup is
28:47
going to be what do you mean well we're moving locations and we were talking
28:52
about oh our setup yeah this setup cuz we're moving locations and we were talking about uh doing like a couch
28:59
thing again so we got to figure that out Bring It Back old school yeah yeah I
29:05
like that I like the idea of a little little love seat little couch maybe a three seater so we can you know like Get
29:10
Cozy oh yeah like uh uh what do you call it crisscross applesauce yes we called
29:17
it uh we can't call it that anymore back in my say it back in my day when I was
29:24
you know throwing gender appropriate whatever racially appropriating oh yeah
29:31
being racist yeah back in my day when I was being racist natives it's okay I
29:36
have a lot of native blood because I'm black and everyone black in America has
29:42
like at least the eighth Native American that counts well all the all the brown
29:47
people yeah all the brown people mixed yeah until we were allowed still don't
29:53
say it though we allowed to mix of others uh yeah so yeah that's what's
30:00
next to sum it all up nice if you remember what I said and we will be selling our seats oh yes seats for
30:09
sale by seats support the show um all right last question actually
30:17
I should try to I should get a question for those so those are all YouTube questions but I also ask X AKA Twitter
30:26
and I asked Instagram so which's see which one do you want me
30:32
to let's see X I feel like it casts a wider net oh it does yes it does all
30:39
right uh
30:46
ooh okay all right Douglas colan PhD are
30:52
you really a doctor are you well he asked a very educated question does
30:58
being an elite dedicated athlete mean that you also have knowingly or unknowingly sacrific relationships with
31:05
others yes what toll has your career taken on personal
31:10
life I'm a single dog mother and horse mother no that's what it's
31:18
done my choice my choice hey this guy has a a lot of followers I think he
31:23
might actually be a doctor wow I mean not that followers kind ofct education
31:31
but where' you graduate from Tik Tock
31:37
um oh I just see that he's followed by a lot of Fighters that we know okay he
31:42
probably reaches out to them a lot like this yeah yeah interesting all right Dr Colman yeah so tell
31:50
elaborate um so we've said previously um on this show and on other show fighting
31:56
is a very selfish Sport and it's important to stay focused so
32:01
sometimes that equals not going to family events um to parties to outings
32:07
to a night out um you know I've missed out and when I say missed out it's it's
32:14
been my choice I I have chosen to not go to weddings because it was too close to
32:19
a fight I've I've chosen you know these things and weddings are like a big deal out here yeah whenever someone says oh I
32:28
have to go to my wedding I can't do this or that I'm like they care if you're
32:33
there it's not about you it's it's a big deal
32:39
yeah um it's just you know it's a lifestyle it's a mentality and Fighters
32:46
have to put themselves first um I've you know it's just kind of the path
32:52
that I've chosen what about like romantic relationships cuz I kind of lucked out like me and Adam started at
32:58
the same time um and then we just kind of flowed into where we're at now um but
33:06
like I've never been single as a fighter I've never dated as a fighter so I don't
33:12
know that whole struggle but it looks like a struggle from the outside looking in no it's I it's a it's a challenge and
33:20
I've I've chosen to you know stay single but it's also um it's
33:27
it's really hard to to describe like the people that I meet I end up feeling like
33:34
almost like a like a novelty kind of they they treat me differently or I get
33:39
people that are just completely uninterested because I'm a fighter or too interested because I'm a fighter it
33:46
feels um never feels genuine it doesn't and it's been frustrating so I end up
33:52
just I I spend lots of time by myself and that's fine with me that's a choice
33:58
but it really does pose a lot of challenges because if I meet somebody that is in the sport it's a selfish
34:04
sport so it's challenging in a way depending on on the level that each
34:09
person is at if you can come together and support each other or if it just kind of Fizzles out because you guys are
34:14
you know both chasing your own dream um which it it has worked out for some people and it it has not and then
34:22
for people that don't understand oh why can't you you know go out and have dinner with me why can't you go out here
34:28
why don't you want to go out it's like I end up turning down a lot of opportunities because I would rather
34:35
focus on myself focus on training it's just um it's a challenge
34:41
yeah and I haven't found haven't found the right one but it only takes one there you go yeah I I found the right
34:48
one like you like 15 years now well it was 2006 when we first met and then like he
34:56
just stuck around he never left couldn't get rid of him uh but uh it has it it does both
35:07
when it comes to my relationship like it it it like puts stress on it but it also
35:12
strengthens it um and like I think a lot of relationships wouldn't have
35:18
survived uh what we went through being in the fight world and like training
35:24
together like even from the first day that we sparred each other when we first started training you know what I mean
35:30
and and like the first day we loved it then a few months down the down the road
35:35
like we'd have a huge argument because either Adam was going too late or going too hard with me you know what I mean
35:42
like little stuff like that can stress out a relationship just adding this whole fighter aspect into it and then
35:49
you have like the struggle when it comes to like who's being more successful and
35:55
then like there can be like feelings of selfworth wrapped around that like oh
36:00
you're thriving and I'm not what does that mean about me or vice versa and then once you once we transitioned into
36:08
where we at now where it's like Adam's more of a coach I'm the fighter then it's like okay there's this power battle
36:15
because I'm also the wife but when I'm the fighter I have to be the fighter and sometimes I forget my hat you know what
36:22
I mean you know that's pissing off the husband and the coach so there's a lot
36:28
of just there's a big balancing act that happens with that and it's work you know
36:34
it doesn't it doesn't just happen easily it's not like a magical like wand that we can uh use like I can't just shake my
36:43
ass and then he's like all right I forgive you you jump on it you know like it's more
36:51
complicated than that so I think um I think from the outside it might look like we have a great relationship but
36:56
there's a lot of uh just really stressful moments that we've had to deal with a lot of like
37:03
scary moments or just really sad moments where you feel like you're alone and then you remember oh yeah this is my
37:09
teammate this is you know my my penguin my partner for life and we dealt through it but it's really hard and it's hard to
37:18
imagine building that after already establishing that you're this athlete
37:24
with like this huge amount of time dedicated to this thing that you're
37:29
doing you know like if you have a nin to five I feel like there's a lot less uh
37:36
there's a lot less demand for your attention and for your energy if you're
37:43
a fighter it's like a 247 job it's like saying like oh you're a parent you can't
37:49
just like stop being a parent when your kids go to school you know you're constantly thinking and planning and
37:55
trying to make sure that everything is good for that kid and for us because we're Single Ladies or not single ladies
38:03
like non non-parent kidless we're kidless
38:10
Bitties we're childless women who uh you know have no worth in this world
38:16
apparently because we're childless women you know this is our baby this is our
38:22
career is our thing that we care so much about and if you can't get with us like [ __ ] off when I was a kid my mom was
38:29
dating and she's like if you can't get with my kids you're out of here and that's what a good mom does same thing
38:34
that's what a good athlete does so yeah puts a lot of strain on the relationship and if someone's not down with all the
38:41
things that you have to go through and supportive and all that then it's tough
38:47
It's going to be a rough one yeah yeah if you're not if you're not um adding to
38:52
it if you're not supportive it's just really hard to to get behind yeah I
38:57
would rather be alone yeah it makes life easier all right we'll do one more
39:03
question from Instagram if I could figure out how to
39:08
get to the question section all right
39:18
uh uh these are all horrible questions oh Jesus
39:26
uh um [Music]
39:32
um okay this is one of the horrible questions okay all right Johnny Van
39:40
Kenobi says I like you girls and the work you do I mean no offense and maybe
39:45
I'm drunk but you girls hetero
39:52
love I just we keep getting this on our stupid reals we keep getting like there
39:58
was one guy that was like they're obviously dating and another person's
40:03
like No Angel has a husband like does like you're not a fan if you don't realize that and he's like yeah you're
40:10
not the one paying attention because you haven't seen their real and I'm like what makes our reals so gay like two
40:17
females no but like we're not really like we're we're doing the Friendship thing we're
40:23
not like it's wishful thinking I I think so I think it's more wishful thinking
40:29
which you know appreciate it do you thanks for thinking of us like that do you no no
40:39
no it's so wild um I think I think we need to normalize female friendships
40:45
because the world tries to put women against each other so hard yeah like
40:52
they really do like they really try to act like we all hate each other's guts and we're just fighting over men and
40:59
fighting over the one uh you know uh female position available at the job and
41:07
fighting over who's the boss's [ __ ] and like we can just be friends and just
41:12
have fun with you with each other and dance and laugh like our videos are the
41:18
equivalent of like a football player slapping his friends slapping out of his assay are if you don't say anything
41:25
about their bromance do just sit back and enjoy it you know
41:30
enjoy the show you can create your little fanfiction you know that would be really funny if we got so big that we
41:36
started having like the fan fiction art like the little what was what's the name
41:42
of the yahi art have you ever seen Yi oh my God it's so funny
41:49
so yahi is like what what's your favorite um what's like your favorite uh Bromance
41:56
in like TV or or like music or anything like that like a TV show where there's
42:03
like guys that are friends can you think of any no but right off the top of my head Bad Boys So like um in the movie
42:10
like LA and Will Smith they had an adorable
42:15
Romance I'm gonna see if that exists okay this
42:22
isn't this isn't Will Smith but this is some other random
42:28
one but basically imagine if it's like that but it would
42:35
be Will Smith and Martin Lawrence bu yeah they just they'll do like anime
42:40
versions and it's always of like the the guys that are like just friends in a
42:48
series or something like that and instead they'll be in these like vaguely romantic situations oh I like that it's
42:55
really funny I'll have to start googling yeah so I had I did this joke and maybe I'll do it now that I have some time off
43:02
I I jok that I was going to start making yahe art of all the bromances in MMA oh
43:08
you should right there's some great on so cute like
43:14
Alo and morab like showering together and he's just like dropped the soap butd
43:19
and mor Rob's like thank you brother you know like it's always it's always subtle
43:24
like it's not subtle but it's always like it could they could be straight but there's a hint of too much familiarity
43:32
mhm that's that's the you can't just overtly just have them screwing each
43:37
other yeah it always has to be like a subtle hint like like they're like in the bed together but they're not like
43:44
touching each other yeah they're just they might be spooning on accident yeah they're on a trip together they just
43:50
have to share a bed yeah yeah it's there's only one bed yeah they're just being economic
43:57
[Laughter] so yeah if if you guys can think of any bromances for me to do yahi art on let
44:05
us know in the comments Jess will come up with the situations and I'll draw it out there's be lots of camping ones I
44:12
know right what about a chamay and Darren till oh I want to see them like
44:17
putting lotion on each other at the beach a that'd be so cute like oh bro can you get my back you know cuz he has
44:24
to get that site cuz he's so pale yeah yes Daren till will burn he will burn
44:29
shamay is only taking care of his friend exact his brother yes I like that one yeah all right we
44:37
gotta we got to think of some more bromances and come up with some good art to keep me busy and not crying as I
