That moment though, when you landed that big kick
and I saw that excitement in your eyes
and he went down and you followed up.
Talk to me about that moment, how did that feel?
Very euphoric, I don't know how to explain it.
All I can explain is I drove, I seen it,
prior to the fight, like we knew down well
that's like my go-to.

So natural, so natural.
That's the craziest part, like it's like almost like,
what, when I'm stretching,
I don't even have to do any crazy stretches
for the head kick.
almost as like I'm trying a job at this point so yeah it's my
