because he's peppering him with that but he's like well i'm blocking this but he was staying within range because that was his plan or whatever he was staying within range and just taking those shots why well because it was allowing him his own um counter shots and and defensive wrestling and stuff i guess but i mean i saw a breakdown on it online it was explaining all that but he was really taking those because that was a range he wanted to be at yeah so like these guys just know like i can get hit that's not going to knock me out
If it was the only one shot I took today I wasn't ready for, it'd probably hurt me.
But when that adrenaline's kicked in, you see some of these guys take a couple hundred shots in a fight.
Oh, it's unbelievable.
Yeah, sometimes I see guys.
So impressed.
It's really, since becoming a MMA fan about 20 years ago, it's really...
it's really taken the intensity off of injuries for me.
So I see some of these guys just like their freaking eyes hanging out.
They're just so cut.
And they're happy and they're respecting each other.
And they're just spurting blood.
And they're like, no, I want to keep fighting.
Don't call this fight off.
So I'm like, if my fin cuts me and I need three stitches, I'm like, eh, I could probably surf a little longer.
It gives you a perspective.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
Depending where you're at.
But it's not as, for me, it's become less scary to get injured after seeing what these guys willingly put themselves through.
