00:00You've been you are in Philly for knuckle mania. You're just there for fight night. You've done tryouts there
00:04What percentage do you think your blood is cheese was at this point?
00:09Well, I do like the Philly cheesesteak. I try and get at least two or three of them every time
00:13I'm in Philly. So, you know, it's getting up there, but you know, I keep going back
00:18We have great fights. They're great fighters. And I think you're gonna see we're gonna have a lot of guys
00:22We got certain areas go down to Florida. Well, Phil is going to be able to go certain areas
00:27We're gonna have really key fighters that are gonna be coming out of those areas and it's definitely gonna be one of them
00:32Yeah, we're gonna talk to you about those Florida fights in a couple weeks afterwards, you know great fights
00:36You guys just called last night, but let's get into first this Philly car that you were just at this fight night card
00:42I mean, obviously it's a big fight town. Everything went off great knuckle mania five
00:46It was packed Wells Fargo now
00:48They went to you know
00:48The 2300 arena packed that with a little bit lesser of a lot up here
00:53But still plenty of Philly's own putting on great performances. Let's start first
00:57With Dustin Pegg and Andrew Angel core two guys outside of Philly who were there to fight in main event
01:01Angel core coming up and wait for this one
01:03165 peg and put it on him early. It was hard for Angel core to close that distance and you land his shots
01:10The cut obviously we see a lot of blood, you know, it doesn't look like it was near the eye
01:16Well at home, obviously we're getting different perspective than you who's closer in the ring there
01:20How deep was it? Do you think it was worthy enough to stop the fight?
01:22You know, I talked to the cutman afterwards he had the he had the the Q chip and it was jammed totally in the cut
01:29You know, it was it was it was all the way in there. It was deep. It was why it was
01:33It was a pretty nasty cut. So as soon as I saw my blood was coming out
01:36I thought it was gonna be a problem. But what are you gonna do? It was a great fight. I mean, you know
01:42You can see definitely want to keep going. He's tough as nails coming up away. It's strong
01:46Nails coming up away. It's strong. He doesn't pay like the big people realize about him is he fought as low as 135 in MMA
01:54Hard to make it but he got down there. So he's a fast lighter fighter who came up now
01:59He reminds me a lot of Mike the machine Richmond
02:02You know, he just other Marine so he just they're fast
02:06They fight like they're lighter weight classes, but they're bigger and stronger now, so they're they're very good
02:12They're very difficult to deal with because it's got speed and accuracy and that's really what takes me good at this level
02:18And then of course the co-main was calmly versus Vidal
02:21Uh, you know
02:22It's a tough way for it to be good majority draw because of that that point
02:26Taking away because of the I poke obviously calmly
02:28So don't want that fight and he's a learning close those hands
02:30They got to use a different defense because that obviously was not working for him
02:33But since that one didn't have a victor will skip ahead and go to the local guy
02:37Johnny cannoli they're bringing that in the fans and they're packing the house another great performance 47 seconds for him
02:42Making quick work of his late replacement opponent in Wells
02:46Well, that's one of the guys I was talking about
02:48We're gonna have a lot of really good talented fighters out of Philly
02:50We're gonna find and he's definitely at the top to the list of that
02:53I mean this guy you can just see from his movement and his head movement how good and athletic he is and he gets it
02:59He understands distance and range. That's what takes him fighting and especially
03:04bare-knuckle
03:05Transition over and change up his style. This is how he fights already
03:08So understand how to not get hit and then explode and hit he's been able to do that so far
03:13I look forward to us stepping him up in competition and see what he can do
