2:34 Steve no Steve it's white free today school like growing up as a kid you'd be like yo I'm a quarter white because you had a grandfather it gets a little bit weird yeah I thought it was a quarter white but throughout School my last name got changed around because for whatever reason so I'd be Ron schools Ron dang Ron Deng schools and then even one of my fights they they announced me as Ron dencoles I was like to the ring I was like oh snap it sounds kind of cool how did it get mixed up I have no idea like even elementary school high school because you're her mom and dad's legal name is skullsdang too no just uh just just me my sister and then my wifey and then now my kid yeah why just how come just you and you don't have that because one of them is skulls and one of them is dang and they created school's thing they did it wrong yeah that was the first so wait oh so they didn't have it they didn't they

3:24 didn't keep the name they kept their own names why did they do it just for you well they came up with your sister they couldn't decide which last name to give me so they just combined it that's what I was told they don't want to do the traditional just go with the dad's name yeah I didn't even know you could do that I thought they got married and then they decided let's just create a new last name which they did right oh just for me yeah see that's what I'm saying is they didn't keep that because I'm wondering how difficult it was when you went to the hospital and they're like yeah you have to prove that you're the parents and like no look but your last names don't match look at me that's why in school you're you're getting your name tossed around somebody because somebody who had to sign your permission slip maybe it's somebody scolds one day and another another day of somebody dang mom or my dad yeah you know yeah because it wasn't the same thing that makes sense yeah ask your parents and your dad's like hey I

4:15 ████ up my ████ well not too hot we put together it's so confusing man [Laughter] say I think it's so easy every time you ████ up you go dying man dang it man does that mean your mom's Vietnamese but had a white uh stepfather basically yes yeah that's exactly what if she's full full business she's totally Asian yeah I assumed she was half white even though she looked totally Asian because my grandpa was white and then turns out she's just totally Asian as am I wow kid's last name that has nothing to do with yours too like a ding dong ding dong I know I should have given like a complete like freaking Renzo Liu Kang or something oh ████ Renzo Liu Kane that came out hella fast

5:07 yeah skull thing is a pretty ████ school say it's cool yeah what's your wifey's maiden name avalara no we have some weird names like uh we so one of our names combined would be uh um apron but then I came up with rape roll but it did it good month and sex offender History Month who's against rape roll okay everybody World her mom not the rapist I'll tell you that it's like either that or apron yeah April's pretty fired so we kept apron and then you know our logo is an apron you know so marketable for April

5:59 what would the other logo be laughs something important something forceful too aggressive but what's in the name right how many kids you have uh one one kid just one is that the are you working on more we we have we have plans of doing like a team of four whoa nice a team I love it when you uh it became like a fighting father did it change how you acted in The Ring versus a single man that is like don't have to worry about babies babies no yeah nothing's changed I still hit people as hard as I can Warrior right there but what about for your own like you know like do you ever go like oh ████ what if I get hurt and I can't be around don't be so naked negative let's ruin

6:50 his fighting he's always thinking about winning huh and I've been I've been really fortunate I've been I've been hurt during a fight once like when I got a concussion that one time um oh that was crazy only once yeah that was it you know for 20 years not bad but I always told myself I've ever got a concussion I would quit and then I recovered from I was like it wasn't that bad from the weeks of haze that you were experiencing yeah six six months oh six months you got six months of haze and you're like that wasn't that bad yeah considering yeah I mean I could have died you know I guess I'm being a ████ doesn't that make you go what if what if I'm I'm not around or I'm not the same like Pops I could be to my kid I I feel like fighting isn't as dangerous as it seems like uh like don't let me fight but they won't let me ride a motorcycle no it's like oh and I love motorcycles are you gonna go skydiving yeah yeah

7:41 they let me I just uh we haven't had time when you say you mean your family yeah yeah okay I thought you talk about management yeah oh no they let me do it everything maybe you just thought you were skydiving because of the haze oh God skydiving for six months what's up what's your what's your fighting record um for Muay Thai is so now it's four and one dude Ron's a ████ killer bro tell me about it tell me about it I've seen Ron sleep a lot of people on the internet teammates do teammates like one of our chairs teammates that we thought was Unk owable and Ron put him to sleep twice during just during uh sparring no through like he fought him like I knew about like a hotel I knew about Ron before I even met run I was like oh that guy is he was just on the circuit and then I found out he was training with Bart and I was like oh ████ it's crazy but yeah dude I train

8:31 him yeah you train him my bad sorry my mistake but Ron just had a fight for a title we're like basically Brothers we have the same tattoo artist and I'm I'm a quarter white see you are oh wait what like a real for real seven years ago I stopped believing this I love you too I know twinsies but Ron just had a fight for a championship belt in Muay Thai he got robbed of okay he got ████ robbed this is just we're on the streets watch the video Rod's whooping his ass you watched I was trying to see I asked him today if we could find the full fight where we couldn't but Ron looked like he was beating this ████ of this guy and this guy that he fought was a really very very tough bigger opponent and a lot of the people say that Ron won and I'm assuming it was a technical win because it had to be by decision right so then like did they ever explain after

9:23 they don't why the judges just told me what do you say so the refs everybody the corners the promoters like oh dude we thought you had this and the one of the judge is like you know this is a uh kickboxing match you should have kicked more I was like what the ████ like what you get off technical points for not kicking enough right it was not a preference yeah I was like what was he Thai uh no today's video is brought to you by DraftKings football fans first Sunday of NFL season is here and DraftKings sports book an official sports betting partner of the NFL is giving new customers a can't miss offer to celebrate the return

11:05 scored on how much volume you throw though right and how much yeah a punch a kick Indian elbow is all a point so I landed a billion punches but uh I didn't throw enough kicks so you technically had more points than him but because you didn't have kicks they gave it to him as a winner yes well the other guy that's one one judge so the other guy sustained more damage oh yeah I have to but then there are different rule sets right like I think like Dutch kick boxing they score punches and kicks the same in Thailand kicks or more so you'll see way more kicking in Thailand so they have different rule sets and then it changes the way they fight I don't know what the rules that they told yeah apparently this promotion I never thought this uh not the promotion the organizing body or whatever yeah I guess I assume they're really big on kicks but you're a whooping his ass regardless of what the ████ you're doing there was a video that Ron posted and it's like a

11:55 highlight of him in this fight and every time he landed just the sweat just kept getting destroyed off this guy's head like pops just sweat I got a ████ Rocky movie dude it was crazy it was surreal in the moment because uh it was I wasn't usually I have tunnel vision but this one it was kind of like I felt like it was just like a fun sparring match um but I saw it like when I hit him I literally saw the the beads of sweat come off his face and like splash the Splash Zone like in the front row I was like I was like dude there's like the movies it was very dramatic or the movies is like what you're doing what do you what do you mean you usually have tunnel vision um well usually I'm uh I have I have no thoughts I'm just like blank and then and then uh I just listen to my Corners I don't even hear usually the fights end sooner um this time it didn't went all five rounds so if you actually had a knockout

12:47 then it's undeniably your win even if you didn't even throw a kick yeah and we kind of knew that coming in I mean this this was this is not our home turf this isn't the promotion that we fight with these are our people you know uh we knew if we did not come out there's a good chance we're gonna lose so if so if you just put shoes on your hands you would have probably won ████ well the other thing I didn't know either is uh they made us wear uh was it 10 ounce gloves also it's heavier yeah and squishier so usually I find eight ounce gloves but I didn't know when you move up to 147 they give you tens really yeah because it's too big now yeah I'm a big strong man so you can't really like hit them as hard as you usually want to I mean I hit him as hard as I could but he took he's just no he could just take a punch dude I hit him oh a lot but it's like uh eight ounces it hurts a whole lot more what do you usually fight at we're on for a more time 135 so he went up to 147. damn to fight at the higher weight class that was so squishy dude

13:38 you got rubbed dude it was bad it looked like they pulled me out of the crowd I didn't think so I didn't think you looked very famous dude you look him in me dude he's shredded I looked like a doughboy so this guy's probably like a 160 or 70 drop down probably he was a giant Russian he's tall as ████ too he's really good too and then the fact that Ron just ████ went out there and put it on him how tall is he six feet so then you're like five seven yeah sometimes dude and they oh my God that is a Rob so he had reach he had weight he had all that advantage and you still whooped his ass but he also walked home with 10 grand [Laughter] yeah it's okay it's uh my uh my mom is super into uh what's it

14:28 called horoscopes and stuff like that yeah and uh she's been calling my life like did she say you're gonna lose this ████ yeah really yeah it was that too before no oh she like called my left she's like you're gonna have a hard year you're gonna work a lot of money's gonna come in but even more money is going to come out I was like nice thanks Mom oh yeah thanks um and then this fight actually lied to you by your grandpa too your mom's not a good person hear this Mom yeah she's kidding he's kidding but no afterwards she's like hey so what happens like oh I lost like I knew you're gonna lose oh come on she's like oh because uh I went and got your fortune told but I didn't want to tell you I didn't want to I didn't want to hurt your feelings and so go some get something productive told tell me if the Lakers are going to win so I can bet the right way I'll ask her next time I could have just bet against you and gave you money yeah I know this should have made money yeah that's the number one rule

15:19 about fortune telling you can't bet against it really yeah it doesn't work I made that up oh there's a number one rule wait wasn't there a rule like in fortune telling that you can't do it for money or the spirits get mad at you something like that right that you gotta do it it's gonna ████ ████ up I feel like I've heard that before you gotta do it for the purpose of ████ doing it can't get the genie out the lamp and which to bring somebody back to life these are all known rules guys cash for more wishes and ████ yeah can I ask for more wishes I don't know these rules there's Rules to This flush I'm just scared of it in general I'm like dude I don't want to know hey do you have do you have a fight coming up um I'm supposed to be fighting in October so I'm either going to defend you better be made of legs for this one or yeah he throws nothing but kicks yeah I've been throwing nothing but kicks and stuff I do that guys like no it's kick boxing yeah

16:13 it's like I want to see some boxes yeah no it's too much kicking okay that's so stupid that's a sucky thing to say but how does your opponent like feel about it you know what I mean like is there like a Fighter's Integrity like is he like honestly I was getting my ass whooped I don't know why I won like is there anything like that I think he has 10 G's so he's like yeah whatever yeah it is what it is right coffee at least 10 grand dude he I don't think he I don't think he cares like which is a lot of money from Muay Thai yeah like usually you know make like a few thousand bucks like two three thousand bucks maybe uh for a purse you know if you're lucky um so like to hear 10 grand for Muay Thai it's a lot of money is there anything to you just being like hey rematch uh no not really uh he's not even my weight class I have no intentions of fighting in 147. oh so you just jumped up just because it

17:04 was a good like money maker for money I literally did this like I love Muay Thai I love fighting I literally did this for money oh the love of fighting too like to fight someone bigger and stronger than you yeah you know like hey how would I do and then I was like you know I did pretty good sounds like you did ████ how come the purse was so much more for this one is it's a special promotion or something this is a special like four-man tournament so like four people were gonna fight and then there was gonna be one winner in that night four guys are gonna fight each other at once like I wish that would be so sick I'll just Royal Rumble that yeah oh my gosh do I see Russia right now they're doing like 600 yeah dude if we can coordinate something like that that would be so amazing I thought they're at War what the ████ they kind of are they could just go out and fight like that how come only some of how come only some of them had headgear too did you see that it's just divers get to go to actual War have you seen um three Hooligans Hooligans

17:54 Hooligans yeah when they meet up and just start ████ yeah like 50 I think just throw fire bombs and ████ that's crazy I've seen some weird stuff do you see the the arm wrestling fighting the arm wrestling yeah where they have to hold shocking each other that's just ████ bananas though it's great you wouldn't do that no I suck it off recipe that's the arm wrestling that's just holding on no because if you get their hand down you win really yeah you can you distract them by hitting them in the face stuck together you're like so you're like distracting them there's different versions because they have like a hundred variations of all that ████ they have like the phone booth ones the phone book they have phone booth like boxing and they have like phone booth Jiu Jitsu I don't know how that is

18:44 a photo booth one where it's constantly taking pictures yeah would you do the Russian slap one oh great oh dude because that's a direct shot to the jaw yeah you just take it you just stand there it doesn't seem like there's weight classes either no right with like the guy with the albino guy yeah it's it's tough man because like most people don't think a slap hurts but if you slap him with a pull with the freaking with the pec deck this you'll knock somebody out with this I mean this is this is a self-defense weapon right here and some of these guys are getting knocked out getting hit just with that like it's getting clubbed in the face on purpose and they have to like piece of bone but you can't tense up too hard or you're like kind of getting hit in your mouthpiece they're not even wearing a mouthpiece for this they have chalk though that's good oh yeah for more grip what's the chalk for would you call this baby I thought that was baby powder

19:35 would you do it for a foreign eating contest is just as good they rarely have 20K bags for donuts unfortunately your competition comes with a donut yeah if you finish it you get a free meal every food challenge I've done I've had to pay for it and then I've also lost them you never win the food challenges I'm like oh and two those big Ramen ones yeah I did a in La there's a restaurant called origin they have the spiciest oh right I ate that I got up to two spoonfuls of soup left and then I ran to the bathroom threw up oh no I couldn't finish the soup and it's like it was like temperature hot it was
