You know I'm back home all the fighters are predominately wrestlers so this time I've got a bunch of new training partners.
New -- I've been visiting spent some time with Sergio Pena doing digits to and -- was fortunate to be able to do so my boxing and boxing Mayweather club at -- Mayweather boxing club so.
It's you know -- Vegas is great in terms of the training and Nugent for me so I've been having a blast out there and it's a little break from the norm for me and you know it's a cool experience been for those cameras -- seeing these guys.
You know.
-- -- Now these two are kind of pull in your your pals -- you arrive you -- -- -- them that's wireless team.
-- you know one with coach and one of his coaches on that team but their polarizing.
A lot of people only like one of another one or the other.
And I I have the right defense on now on but I I'm born antagonists -- sometimes night.
A -- -- the stuff cruise does is it taking that personal do you how do you feel that cruise knows that.
I don't are really my anchors I respect him as a fighter.
You know and when that's defend the -- that long and you know can compete and anyone is that -- FC champion is you know you know I respect completely but as far as.
You're you're right hates him and it's pretty obvious I think you know it's tough for your right to be in there dated date with and seen the guy.
A guy can't stand and you know want to punch in the face -- You know it's all business with both guys and and you know the fight's going to be great -- -- start need up in the -- In seven weeks that we -- -- so.
You know as each week goes by -- hatred in and in the drama gets tired tires.
By.
Gately and you you've been there but the season started off kind of -- they were trying to like tone it down.
And as you keep going and and you -- that's the whole point your fighter you're competitive.
You gonna get that in your head you're gonna start fighting with each other and I mean I didn't expect anything less than this -- I found the season irritated I was wondering from your perspective as someone who's there how you were taken it.
You know there's a lot of things that -- -- added and you don't seize those you know it seems like they're kind attainment and you know.
And you know being friendly but there's lots -- you -- behind the cameras and they're constantly bickering at each other and little fingers wrote you guys have enough fingers -- cuss words.
So that's what makes the the whole season that much bettors because they really truly dislike each other.
More than any other of the coaches in the past so you know did that by it's going to be great and this finale is June -- I believe.
And there's a lot of talented desert but on that finale -- well so into the finale and the five.
