Maybe this isn't the setting to say it, but to hear BCs son issues and what he has probably been through as a father I just have the most massive respect for him and for the fact that he always has a cheerful attitude through at least the parts he lets us see. Hope if life tests me like that I can respond in the same way.
@@burlhorse61 I believe (in-part) because they were twins, there were complications (possibly associated with prematurity and/or cerebral palsy), but BC mentions moments early in their lives where one (or both) required extensive medical care for potentially life-threatening medical conditions--not sure, just my recollection from following MK and being able to relate as a father and pediatrician. I love hearing him talk so lovingly about his kids, and you can tell (from BC talking about it in the past) the heavy issues in the beginning changed BC as a parent for the better.
Me too. I had seen BC mention his son’s ailment before but I kinda forgot. BC is just a great dude and I’m sure he’s even a better father. As for the interview, MVP was awesome and he has a new fan.
If you're on the fence about watching this one - it's up there with one of the best RSD episodes to date. MVP is just a stellar dude and it's rare he does these super long-form interviews - dude's legit.
So many fighters speak (or don't speak) so blindly about their losses. In the first 10 mins from the way MVP spoke about the Perry fight even cracking jokes shows he has the self awareness that got him to this stage and hopefully keeps him moving towards the belt. Great stuff from BC and Luke as always!
I came here to say this. They have been building up other RSD interviews like Allen, but there is something refreshing about a candid intelligent fighter speaking freely.
this guy has been getting so much hate.....mainly cause of the so-called tomato cans he has fought, i truly believe it isn't his choice and he showed and proved he has real heart after he got knocked out by douglas lima, cause he asked for the rematch, he got it and he won, you got to respect that, at least , i did
Top tier interview, again. This format is tremendous and I hope it continues for a long ass time. RSD has made me a fan (or more of a fan) of every person that’s sat on the couch.
"First minute of the fight, I'm attaching strings to the opponent"... Utterly Fascinating stuff, to be quite candid I feel like you guys should get paid for promotional services rendered for RSD, because these interviews do a MUCH better job at making me care about the fighters you feature than the main promotional stuff does JRE fight talks are alright, but Joe's way too big at this point unfortunately to get convos with fighters that are this casual and authentic feeling
Probably got too caught up in the drama between him and Daily back in the day, hence paid little attention to him outside the cage. Seems like a cool dude. Nice of him to give a nod to his Lau Gar roots. Lau Gar was where it was at in the early eighties with standouts like: - Alfie "The Animal" Lewis (Tony Bellews old coach) - Kevin "The Jedi" Brewerton Gotta like his film choices. You cant go wrong with the classics. For me 1. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin 2. Fatal Claws, Deadly Kicks Wish him every success.
There have only been a couple of guests on Room Service Diaries that I was excited about but I've watched every episode and truly enjoy them all. These two donks balance each other out, create great rapport with the guests and making magic with their mma menage et tois.
I love when the guys do interviews with known fighters who don't fight for the UFC. Really enjoyed this but how could you not ask him to breakdown a fight between him and Wonderboy?
Just to go against the current here, fighters have to stop comparing themselves to football players or other pro sports. NFL players play 17 games in 18 weeks. MLB players play 162 games in 6 months. Fighters figbt maybe twice a year. You can talk about the dangers of fighters training and all that but its 2023, we've known fight organizations treat fighters poorly for a long time now and they still sign the contracts and make it life long goal to join. They gotta stop complaining in interviews and actually do something about it.
Want to hear something funny though? When the nfl started they did. When the mlb started they did. Baseball players used to make more money in the off season than they did in the league. Just something to think about. You don't get to ride on their backs. It's a new league, build it, earn it.
@@AdamWatt00 Alright? And boxes made no money and fought 100 times a year when boxing was a new sport. The sport is 30 years old and you don't get to ride off the backs of other sports. Also MVP compared NFL to the mma bozo, go look at the title of the video, not me.
Nobody put a gun to your head to be an average MMA fighter and make average money in the B league Bellator Michael. Just be an excellent fighter in the UFC like GSP, Jones, McGregor, Khabib, Adesanya etc and you don't need to have another job in your life. Your Welcome.
