2:38 one collabed with like Ugg it's like the Ugg liner yeah not fun for the summer this is ████ Jaguar dude what's that one uh the ifs so it was uh it was uh I became their first uh champion of the promotion they started they called me the Knott's Berry Farm champion because I fought in Knott's Berry Farm we're in knots [Laughter] love it dude so tell us about the fight dude like how many rounds how did you guys how did you win like okay uh yeah it was uh it's different than usual so usually I finish everybody in the first few rounds yeah you know um and this or you get knocked out or I die yeah only when you show up though
3:29 Drake yeah Ron's my Muay Thai coach yeah and then uh I went out to one of his MMA fights and he was beating the ████ out of someone yeah right it was like me David my boxing coaches their PJ and then um Ron was like like hunt like uh stalking him down because you could see that he was like all hurt and then that guy just ████ threw like one of those like Make-a-Wish foundations to make a wish and then he's like I hope this works clean John Cena comes out it's Ron so clean and you see Ron go down and I almost felt my ████ entrails come out of my mouth is a good one good one oh yeah he was stalking him like he was and then he knocked him out I was supposed to win like without question so now I don't go to I don't go to any Ron's fights anymore
4:25 yeah so his favorite teams the Rams his team's been the Rams since the 70s right yeah he gets so superstitious about how he's bad luck for the team like he's such a health uh self-hating um Filipino man that he would during the Super Bowl when they're in the Super Bowl just took a couple years ago he went outside while everyone's inside he threw a party he had cooked food made everything he's like outside drinking a beer and like ████ like he won't let himself watch the game because he's so short he's bad luck oh my God like he's gonna transfer his bad luck through the TV you just don't know you don't know so that's but if he's away from the TV then it's okay then they can Ball Out imagine the team shows up to his house hey mother effort did you watch did you look over him yeah you lost it first dick that's how intensely he treats it so I love how important he feels yeah you didn't have any superstitions at all about your fights
5:16 um no I don't really do that because there's a there's always a new reason why you lose yeah you know and then you know you try to you try you try your best to make sure to never make that mistake again yeah um for me you know the old school's like you know make work your luck so you work more the lucky you get all that type of stuff and this one was kickboxing right yeah kickboxing Muay Thai yeah very similar the only difference is you can elbow and knee him a lot so what does this do for your career is this like this gets you another shot at something else like how does all that ████ Works he gets to promote his towing company yeah wck Towing now that's a new one um well they're they're different organizations kind of like the NFL and then there's like other leagues right besides I don't know football whatever XFL XFL yeah bikini football yeah yeah so all that stuff so these are different organizations there's WBC wck
6:07 um WBC is the internationally recognized so as far as WBC is concerned I'm number one in the US and then as far as wck isn't uh concerned I'm number one in the world whoa but is there is there number one for your weight class or so there's like five number ones yeah so there's one number one in each way class so I'm uh WC champion at 135 for WBC and then um uh wck world champion uh 140 pounds for wck do you feel the pressure from that like the Target on your back a little bit yep but luckily in America I fought most of the contenders in America um so that's why I had to fight the number one guy in Mexico um and so but now that I fought the number one guy in Mexico uh I'm not really sure what's the next Asia yeah I mean that's why I want to go I want to go to Japan how about Europe yeah or Europe yeah Africa sure keep naming cars
7:00 when does Dana White start calling um hopefully after this okay yay but um yeah I mean that's my goal since I was like in high school was to become a UFC champion but along the way you know James changed life changes and stuff like that I uh I ended up uh going into a gym called timoyama and ended up taking like a leadership role there so I got pulled into the business size as opposed to the fighting side and so uh my dreams kind of got transferred I decided to build the gym instead and then the gym you know ended up becoming top 50 best gyms in the world for MMA uh ranked by the UFC and then so we accomplished that goal but then I never got to UFC but all my teammates and friends did but you built so many people that yes you supported in Maine yeah I was happy to be able to take part yeah which has been great so in essence you
7:51 went to the UFC multiple times [Laughter] Carlos barza which was a former UFC champion former two-time two right two times two times she will jump through the camera right now no that's awesome dude Cheeto Vera's still killing it yep he's a he's a he's a he's in contention right he's top 10 uh top 10 Alex Perez Alex Perez fought for the title um so definitely and then Fernando Padilla my teammate he just made his debut and got fighted the night the last card oh cool he's a tall skinny guy yeah we landed like six shots in a row it was sweet are you do you get to go whoa do you get to do you get to go and like stand in their corners and ████ I do but most of the well but back when I
8:41 was more active at the gym um everybody would go and I would hold down the fort but I did go to a few fights I went to uh Ian McCall versus Demetrius Johnson not the Australia one uh when he did the rematch in Florida yeah um yeah oh dude yeah remember that for those days yeah um so I got to do that but I didn't do much I just kind of like just stood around I rented a car drove around Eastern Jamaican food um I felt like I was working I was like everybody doing good everybody's okay okay cool I'm gonna I'm gonna eat some Jamaican jerk chicken so take us take us through the actual fight man like was it um did you have nerves going in yeah do you have confidence the whole way like every yeah second of it yeah I mean I've been doing it long enough where uh I don't really go through the roller coaster emotions I have complete confidence in my team the the training and everything like that those are actually trained this time because I know some of the fights you do no no because sometimes you'll be literally like like part-time train I'm like Ron
9:32 dude come on you're fighting someone serious but like I'm like I'm trying not to go to your fight don't make me go yeah the more I'm gonna go but like what does part-time training mean to you like yeah so before when I was training full time when I was like at the gym full time and stuff like that I would train like three times a day I would do morning training um I would do strength conditioning or running in the middle and then I do our night training you know but these days I got like a kid and job and bills and stuff like that crazy bills freaking life Range Rover bills but keep going this guy's good he watches Graham stuff and yeah um these days I'm training in the gym four days a week I do
10:22 one training session a day I run every day and then I do my own gym work so actual gym time I'm only doing four days a week uh but it's all I can invest but I've been banking a lot on my previous experience and then just trying to listen to my coaches as best as possible though when I did that my career actually got better actually started getting bigger fights and then winning more stuff so kind of weird I cut my training in half and then I produced twice as much because you work smarter now yeah it looks smarter not hotter yeah yeah and how many other Fighters out there are serial entrepreneur Fighters huh yeah I can't do this stuff but that's because I'm also not really into the sport so I don't know that many so we're gonna insert a clip right here this is Ron fighting the dude he's just totally pounding this guy into the corner Nick The Ref calls it a win was there any
11:12 point where that opponent actually surprised you with anything prior to that or was it well you saw him pictures of your leg or is your leg still it doesn't look as it doesn't look as bad anymore but look it's all purple it is like up can you imagine getting ████ to your ████ late like so it wasn't a walk in the park the last round that you guys just watched Braun like walked them down but then it was a battle getting to that point right it would have went to decision it would have been a split decision it was close wow yeah he was way tougher way smarter uh probably trained way more than four times a week yeah yeah damn dude way way better all around than but I mean shoot he's uh two division WBC champion Mexico like he's he had to be legit but we we didn't anticipate his fighter IQ he was smart and his Corners were smart he made
12:03 it just if when they air the show um you're gonna see him make adjustments every single round so how many rounds did you guys fight uh five five so in the first round what was the game plan the first round was to kind of just keep my distance because I was actually taller than somebody for once um I had like a good two inches on him freaking crazy um keep my distance and then make him make mistakes it changed angles don't get in exchange with the guy um then it worked I won that round second round I won and then third round he found his momentum he found my range he made an adjustment oh ████ um I was doing this thing where I was just hitting and then I would slip to the left and he freaking read it and so the next time I slipped it left left instead of finding a cross he flew across right over here where my head was going to be so he knew where my head was going to be and full power cross right in my face I just went boom I was like did you have any like did you
12:53 get knocked down I got rocked yeah I haven't been rocked in a long time he said to me before the cameras turned on he goes man he was really tough I got punched twice in the face like solid I was like oh shoot I hope it doesn't hit me like that again like that could have been a knockout if it was the third time if he kept on hitting me like that yeah I probably would have got dropped three strikes you're out so the first two rounds you're winning yeah kind of started taking the foot off the gas a little bit I just kept on doing the same thing I was like cool we got this we got this and we didn't we got comfortable and then he adjusts he's like in his Corner tell them time is head movement he's gonna slip to the left yeah but how often are when you fight guys it's telegraphing my friends do they even do they even make those adjustments they're very rare right this is my first time that's a good Corner then yeah it was a very good Corner does that mean that you've been fighting impulsive Fighters this whole time I
13:44 just been fortunate that I've been overwhelming most of my opponents oh from your just yeah just from high pressure yeah yeah um they haven't had a chance to really Implement their game now like all my all the guys I thought are really good if I would have not finished it early it would have been rough like when I fought Travis Clay like he's freaking good he's like six one long and freaking if I would have stayed at his range I would have got destroyed um it's like that it's just that small little change between like dying and not dying um yeah I he hit me and I was like Ah that's a fluke I remember I always think things are flukes when I get hit and then I learned my lesson the second time yeah well I learned about less than a second time because he did it again in the fight I moved my head to the left he threw a cross diagonally boom again and I got rocked says oh shoot man and then I had an epiphany I was like this mother F was reading my head movement I was like oh so even in your head you don't
14:35 cuss ing guys squiggly Wiggly is ████ radio wiggly wiggly so I was like oh heck no the round ended and then I told my Corners like hey he's freaking reading my head moves I get yeah we know we're gonna do the same head movement I was like okay oh that's all I have to do okay all right yeah don't yell at me I stopped I stopped slipping and I started rolling and then sure enough I hit I rolled huge cross wow bounced off of my roll I was like and then we're back at it and then you know fourth round um I I had the so he won you would say he won the third maybe uh yeah third and then the fourth one was very very close and then the fifth one um he started picking it up and uh he was just low kicking the crappiness what was most of that from the fifth round uh all the fun he kicked me off the phone oh ████ dude
15:25 my leg was black this is like nothing this is like way better when did you start feeling did you feel like it took an effect like what round did you start feeling in effect from the low kicks oh not until like later that night until after that yeah quit the first time charlie horses and fighting um damn that's ████ crazy what turned it for you on the fifth round look really you think so I mean I mean it's you can never really like force a knockout it kind of just happens yeah so uh my corner was like hey change up your pace you're fighting one speed I'm like Okay cool so I have thoughts I hit slow I hit slow we're moving we're moving out of nowhere I I picked up the speed and did like a super fast jab cross hook and when I threw it every punch land I was like so maybe he wasn't you're he wasn't ready for the the
16:15 change the Rhythm dude yep so I just hit hit bang and then freaking all of them caught I was like oh and then I felt my knuckle touch his skull like it went through my My Gauze and then like yeah like I I felt his cheekbone his eyebrows I felt it and like it just went and if you look at the fight slipper that's a good connect yeah his face just ripples oh are you one of those fight talkers like like that's right ████ no or your dick just harder which one is it I have to wear a cup that actually like curves to the left leg it's in the shape of a boner yeah it's in the shape of one of one of those squashes with a long curved tip well I don't feel it it's outlined if you land one of those if I are you a talker because I know some Fighters are like little they talk
17:05 to each other I'm not I did it once in high school before I ever trained I gotten like a well like my second street fight ever uh in high school and I saw some guy beating up my best friend at the time I was still my best friend now I was just looking around like you know at a house party I was just drinking my Coors Light and then I was like okay someone's getting Mark get off my mindset and so I go and pull this guy off still so nice yeah get off my friend because I I noticed his Sony Ericsson phone oh no high school like he got that you were like bawling that's a big deal yeah and I was like hey that looks like and I look mark uh I pull him off and the guy hits me and I started hitting him and I go yeah you yeah me to my friend I don't think so not today mister why was he even attacking him I don't know I just know someone who
17:55 was a bit you wanted the phone yeah house party kids that are you know I was a little douchebag too and then the guy turns around he stops he looks at me and I look at him and I go I go Justin and then he goes wrong yeah we're friends what the ████ and I was like oh crap I'm sorry I didn't know it's you mad because I didn't know it's you either we hugged each other uh so your friend was beating up another friend yeah yeah but they weren't friends oh weird yeah so they were cool and then back then you used helicopters to break break up House parties um and so and now that when we're older like dude you know how much it costs for a helicopter to break up a house party or something dude there's probably like four dollars invested in this whole party and you're gonna send out a helicopter you know that'd be funny if you and that friend started teaming up on the first guy yeah mark
18:48 you want to steal his phone were you fighting in Mexico no um we were fighting at the sycorn casino in El Cajon um it's like on the Indian Reservation super nice Casino it was awesome they have like a lazy river like a gay club yeah so that last round that I saw was that round six uh that was around five but uh that wasn't the beginning of the round that was after his 10 count so after I already dropped them off yeah they dropped them yeah so that's why everybody thought it was like the beginning of round no that was after they got up oh that makes you okay yeah so you dropped them with what uh jump in the jab cross hook so yeah yeah so I'm just moving moving them all of it landed he freaking corrupt wow and like he was stumbling everywhere he held himself up on the ropes like blatantly I'm not even exaggerating you're gonna you guys gonna see the video and I thought they're going to stop it I was like cool it's over and then he goes no no I was like oh snap and I'm over there like this
19:39 motherfers and Aztec warrior I'm like heck yeah wow and they let it go I'm like okay here we go then that's when I go in and just yeah but if you look he's still fighting back he threw like a roundhouse I have like a bruise on my ribs um even with him being out on his feet like he's still Spirit man yeah dude he seemed like a good sport like he seemed like a cool guy he's a martial artist yeah for sure nothing but respect for him in his Camp yeah yeah yeah like when they were like they're lifting your hand you seemed like really like there's a cool guy what was it like to fight someone that gave you that type of competition for the first time when you're like oh this guy was an intelligent fighter this is something different was it was it scary or was it like does that raise your confidence it made me it reminded me why I love Muay Thai and why why I like to fight like this level because I'm not this way I'm 37 years old you know I don't know how
20:29 much longer I have left I'll keep not very long probably yeah I'm almost dead um um I'm just trying to do whatever I can and um you know as as long as I can do it I mean so far it doesn't look like I'm stopping because um I'm still doing yeah you're picking the momentum dude yeah I'll say I'll say I'm doing you're getting better yeah yeah so it'll be like cold cop dude be a senator have you thought about because you know getting making noise makes waves right have you thought about like you know instead of what you just said he's a martial artist and said you grabbed the mic and you're like that guy was a ████ bring on a real guy bring on a real man I could but it's not my style what have you did in the wrong way like saying it lacks like that too I just I just don't think they're all around that great of a guy and like I would really live the opportunity to just ruin your
21:20 dreams there you go I want to break your face it's a Mormon Trash Talk have you thought of getting his car towed during the fight you imagine a second I think it happened only if I lost he's hooked up already it's like no I won that's not even his car that's my promoter's car was your wife at the fight yeah yeah I mean you can always hear her oh yeah oh yeah she's like every time you're getting kicked in late she's like screaming like yeah it's I usually never hear her but it got really quiet at some point and I just hear I hear her voice to sing and she goes executive I'm like oh my God who says that I'm like oh my God bring up the guillotine yeah I'm just like paralyzed and I just look I'm just like
