And that's how I met Israel and Eugene.
00:00:01
Eugene was like, "What are you doing
00:00:02
sparring?" He just got knocked out last
00:00:03
night. I didn't get knocked out. I got
00:00:05
TKOed. When I was sparring with Israel,
00:00:06
Israel was like, "I want you to come
00:00:08
help me with Pereira. I want you to
00:00:09
become my training partner." He had me
00:00:10
against the wall and he was like
00:00:11
punching me. He was telling me this. So,
00:00:12
I was like, "Oh, thanks, bro." I said to
00:00:14
him, "If my granddad gets better, I'll
00:00:15
come back. If he doesn't, I can't. I'm
00:00:17
sorry." So, Israel fought Pereira and he
00:00:18
lost. I moved to City Kickboxing 2 days
00:00:20
after that loss. And then I was there
00:00:21
for the second camp and I've been there
00:00:23
ever
