[Music] [Applause] [Music] all right um everyone welcome back let me just move this real quick all right everyone uh welcome uh I Fighting Championship Mr Jordan white uh first of all congratulations thank you uh what do you think of that Victory how how did that Victory feel for you yeah good um I uh I love me last we here and uh so I made sure I wanted to get the win this time that's why I even picked the song the song was like I'm feeling a change so I like that's what I was feeling for feel change you know what I mean so I was hungry for that win and uh I thought i' do well to to get it you know first knock out as well so is it excellent um very good uh it like a spinning back hand wasn't it do you know why everything happen so fast they even asked me Coach P like what the hell did I even him I think it was a backand a him like a backhand leg kick or sorry backand and then back leg head kick and hit with a back hand again maybe a hook that dropped it again and then I just grounded a on uh I I got the I I was recording it so I had to look back at the footage and uh I will insert it here now um yeah so for uh first of all um what was it like kind of just preparing yourself for this fight how much time did you have uh since since January um P was like you want to go and know you are like I had a one fighter confirmed and and then that was changed in a week a week out tell to this fight now and uh yeah we just set a little game plan sort of like not trying to sound like R but I just like to so focus on myself sometimes when you look back on cameras on fights previous and you set a game plan for those previous fights they could come out something completely different and then your game pans scrill then you think the last fight they came out and they done X1 and z and you have in your head that you're going out they're going to do the exact same thing and be down then you're like w why aren't they doing this and then that screws up your your head so we just focus on what we want to do and I know what my weapons are and I know that I'm pretty good at them so I just TR critique them get them even better and then level up like me uh me other ones that need to get better then as well awesome um why do you do this why do you subject yourself to you know this type of physical punishment not even just getting in the ring but just kind of like the uh the punishment of training yeah we love it um anytime I'm out training I feel weird and I work in a gym as well so that's me that's me life I've been te since I'm in na so martial arts me life 20 odd years and so don't take one then take kickboxing then on MMA just over three years ago and uh just started doing MMA it's just a completely different Beast it's like what I say like the top and top athletes like the top 10 in the UFC or whatever or pfl or they're like they're prob atlet the fitness level is something else like you know so that's what I love about the great the discipline just love it love everything about it is that uh is that your goal like you want to oh yeah for sure yeah been down me how life I want I want to go PR start making a living Al you know I mean so thank yeah um so just kind of mental health wise that's one thing I like to focus on when it comes to Combat Sports because I don't like for myself I I find the you know huge mental health benefits um you know what's kind of like the biggest uh uh benefit that you yourself personally have uh taken away from all this H I don't know um thankfully and I'm not saying this in like a cocky way like I haven't actually like had to deal with too much of like the bad end the mental health well you've been doing it for a long time you said so yeah so like like but the mental health aspects they just I doal it for cuz I love it you know what I mean and I've never had a bad incident got the de mental health resarch like have you ever been out of training for a week or month or two that's what i' say to would be like whatever I just love training that much that like as you said whenever I'm over just say like even if I'm on H this I just want to go back straight away like you know what I mean so in that aspect if we didn't have it I think it would go crazy if if that answers your question yeah absolutely I think it helps MMA is amazing especially like Jiu-Jitsu especially in h martial arts like it's it's one thing in kickboxing you don't really see this as much um for injit it's just like like it's not uh like everyone can go for it like there's there's kids there's Fighters there's like just say O is a s like you know what mean like it fits all and that's why it's great you go into the gym and not everyone's there as a f or some people are there to just as a hobby some people there trying for a f and some people are there just as you said for mental health to get it's there outside of the world it's like they that's it so I guess like in that aspect like going on there like I don't even think of the outs it's great not so uh that's awesome um so what like how do you you're young yourself how old are you you're 27 okay you're a little bit older I anticipated um 21 wish um well no okay so like what does it all right so when you see you know some new kind of walk through the door and they are interested in you know kind of going this route uh you know competing um maybe just you know profun or even competitively or whatever uh what is it that you try to do to help you know kind of motivate or guide them yeah just help them as best I can I feel like I'm a good person for that I'm a coach myself in kickboxing so okay and whenever I have me on club with my girlfriend we teach uh kickboxing and so whenever I'm training an MMA and I see a new person like I always try introduce myself help them and Patty sometimes puts me with the nail corers but I hope that that's obviously because he he understands that I look after him so yeah I Look to tr make sure that I welcome and give them a few tips also TR to not flat as well tried yourself into it but yeah for anyone that's watching that hasn't started or it's like they want it just do it you know what I mean you you won't look back yeah know I agree that's what I tell a lot of people just just do it um all right back to I are here so these shows are great I think Dey does a very good job of of pairing fights yeah um like that's generally the uh the general consensus that I get from everyone but he does such a great job um what do you want where do you want to go next with a first of all I do I agree with you I think de is one real and Savage at making a cart and that's that fight around them as well you know that figh and the the venue as well is really good and it's mad that it's on a Sunday but I actually like it you know yeah know it works it works out really well I think steady the crowd that come here are like here to watch the fighted and just this big piss off like you know so steady you can hear like every punch like you hear like everything you know what I mean and you need he the sweat H off the ground it's that Qui every was looking at it but um yeah so look I lost me last week and uh I obviously wanted to get this win so um whatever that he thinks I think I got a good win there I'm only getting better as I go into the cach as anyone would say but I do feel like I'm find me Fe and I think maybe uh one one more win and then go for the title then at least you know what I mean if said there's a title there i' go for it you know I mean and but obviously I understand you have to earn it and if Dey thinks that that t TKO is enough to go for the tot for next um i' gladly go for it and because I'm potentially going for another title fight in April so I think it's in April could be around then but uh so if he wants if he wants me to fight in the title I will if I have to earn and let I win that's no problem this next sure get that win then again amazing um all right so one last one just uh what's for dinner what are you doing now got the rest of the night you can you can chill now how you spending the rest of I'm in they get a pizza or last girlfriend Pizza she go I'll probably
