And I'm like, yo, what are you doing? That's crazy. Yeah. That's crazy. That's so hard. That's so hard. If you're in a high level sparring match with a guy where it's like you're getting emotional and then you throw a spinning kick, it's so hard to like slap him with the foot.

Well, that's why gloves are nuts, right? Because you can knee somebody in the face. You can elbow in the face. You can shin them in the fucking skull. Right. But your knuckles are covered. God forbid. It's kind of crazy.

Do you think that there's a time in a fighter's career where they don't have to spar? Is there ever a time where they don't have to spar hard?
