The Jerogan Experience It takes a lot of attrition and conditioning and skill to do that, but when guys fight like that, they're doing the complete opposite of fighting.

They're doing everything in their power for them not to land the blow and me not to land the blow.

And it's kind of like, bro, you're almost trying too hard to sniff a crotch or fucking sniff an armpit.

And it's fighting, but it's also entertainment.

And he wasn't finishing guys, he's just literally hugging guys to death.

My perspective was I'm fascinated to see who he can do that to.

And he just put that fucking wrestling on

You know, and the beautiful thing about the way you knocked him out is you preyed on his instincts.

You went at an angle and then right to him and his instinct was just automatically to grab you.

of the most iconic photos in the history of the fucking sport.

Trio 5 papers, and it says at the bottom, super necessary.

It's super necessary you get them papers.

I mean, I remember watching that going, oh my God.

It's like, hey, you gotta come prove it now.

I was saying like all that shit talking, you gotta do it now.

And these guys just flapping gums at each other.

But the whole thing is the walking over him that really gets him, the change of speed.

I saw that on Twitter, you know, I always like to study my dudes in different ways, but I saw that

On Twitter I saw that he was very, like, you know, witty and always constantly writing shit like that.

He's a dork and a nerd, but he's got a little bit of wit behind the computer screen.

When I saw him face to face every time and it was straight my cue versus yours, improvisation versus your improvisation, Or maybe you've been thinking about some stupid shit for like a month And you know say to me now, but he froze up every single time And these were like a lot of it encounters we had off-camera like I remember I saw him And I was like ducked off in a corner And he was walking by this room like I'm just gonna spring up on this dude and scared the living shit out of him So I did pop up on him hands behind my back literally short-circuited.

I gotta use the bathroom, I'm following, no, no, no, let's talk, bro, I just wanna talk, don't worry, I'm not gonna do nothing to you, come over here, let me talk to you, bro.

And I'm just, you know, trying to probe at him, and I noticed every single time that it was unscripted, unimprovised like that, just spur of the moment, short circuit.

So I was like, I not only need to run at him, but I need to have a change of speed because that's gonna make him go into his natural Crotch sniffing ink sinks if I just change the speed on him.

He's gonna fucking duck So that's why I came out slow cut the little angle and let him like, okay, you know, we're gonna circle it up As soon as I change speed, what does he do go to his fucking initial?

Instincts is a fucking crotch sniffer go sniff the crotch And say you're gonna kiss this nigga by it over, you know

That was 1 of the greatest knockouts in the history of the sport without a doubt I mean 1 of the best ever.

Thank you, sir Plus it doesn't take up too much of your time, you know, you got that you want to see a dead body real quick BAM.

It was just a giant screen and that was like you fucking launched into him It was hilarious though.

then I And then I counted his ass out, you know?

He's like, he should have been invited to the Sam Bankman Freed Party.

And then watching video footage of you practicing that

So when I'm doing it the night before, I'm like 95% certain because of the way he's been acting all week.

Like, all I gotta do at any given moment is just get this guy uncomfortable.

Whether it was in the opening bout or like in the second round or midway through the third, I just knew I had to invade his space and he's gonna go to his natural instincts.

I know I keep saying it, but I just knew it.

The way he'd freeze up every time we talked, the way he'd walk, the way he'd get stiff, I just knew like-

I mean, you literally practice the exact same thing over and over and over again.
