No, it's an honor to be called by 100 little people. He's a big man, and I don't want to get in trouble. He's not that big. He has hair loss, too. Damn, shots fired. I love that. Shots fired. Very nice to meet you. I'm Rob. Nice to meet you. Sean. Nice to meet you as well. I'm going to get straight to the point, Rob, because I've been looking for years.
You founded an MMA league, is that correct? No, not an MMA league, no. A media company. So we started as a magazine publisher, and we got into digital and social. We had a clothing range for Tap Out, and now we're here with the only industry event of its kind, the World Mixed Martial Arts Week. Would you be interested in making the first magazine solely for little people?
No, because I wouldn't print magazines anymore. That's why we don't. Only because of the fact that it's a challenging business at the moment, for sure. Magazines are dying, right? Well, it's not that they're dying. It's just everything that goes around magazines, like the distribution networks and the wholetailers. It's highly, highly challenging.
So, no, I wouldn't like to produce a magazine again at the moment. Who's the greatest person you've ever had on the cover of one of your magazines? Oh, I really couldn't answer that. We've had all the stars of the sport. Who's your favorite? My favorite fighter? Or favorite individual? Yeah.
I don't know. I always look at Mirko Krokop, Van Leeuwen-Silva, Dan Henderson. All the guys that used to stand up and really bang. That's what I used to really love. Yeah, thank you so much. I love your tats, you know. I dripped out. Thank you, man. All that. Yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you. Enjoy the show. All right, have a good one, man. Nice to meet you. All the best. Hey, nothing, man.
What's up, fellas? How y'all doing? How you doing? How you doing? I'm afraid to go close to you because I hurt your elbow. Yeah. It's got to hurt right there. Got the bare-knuckle jab. Who wins in a bare-knuckle fight, you or Bryce Hall? Speaking of Bryce Hall, if Bryce Hall beats Kimball Slice Jr., that's who I want to fight next. All right. You know what I mean? But who wins? Me, of course.
What's your record right now? Shit. I think I'm 8-5, fair enough. All right. Maybe 8-5. You know what I mean? Yeah. I can't really keep count, man. I got so many bare-knuckle fights. I've done this since 2019, man. I was the first one to go over to England. I beat a dude 17-0 from Ireland, man. Took the belt on my debut fight. What? Yeah, man. That's a huge upset.
Let's go. But, you know, like, BKFC, man, that's my home right now. And I'm just trying to, you know... Get that belt. So look forward in the new, you know, the new year. I'll be coming for that belt. You get that belt. Austin Trout has the belt right now in my weight class. He's a tough fighter, man. You know, I just, I can't wait to put myself to that test.
Let's do it, bro. You get that belt. You're going to make your way to the UFC? Hey, man. Of course. Like, MMA is my passion. I would love to fight in the UFC. Dana White, give me a shot, man. I'll fight whoever the fuck you put in front of me. You know? Put him at my weight class. 155 or 170, man. Like, I'm there. Let's get it. You know what I mean? Who's the greatest UFC fighter of all time?
