1. 0:00We are doing a mighty journey in Orange
2. 0:03County. Armor shows up and he does this
3. 0:05long extensive warm-up. Getting ready
4. 0:09for the go. Yesterday I ate like maybe
5. 0:1415 desserts, but 15 is out of my
6. 0:16wheelhouse. That that that would hurt my
7. 0:18tummy.
8. 0:18>> Sometimes when you guys watch this, you
9. 0:20guys might think I might be a little bit
10. 0:21nervous, but there's a switch that goes
11. 0:23on in my mind. Okay, here we go.
12. 0:25>> Boom.
13. 0:28>> Yeah. It's time to see how I would move
14. 0:31against [music] these highle athletes
15. 0:33when I'm retired and these guys are in
16. 0:35the prime of their career.
17. 0:36>> Now I want to be here so I can go.
18. 0:38>> Who can out wrestle you?
19. 0:39>> Right now I'm 55.
20. 0:42>> He's built different.
21. 0:42>> He's the Armenian Batman. Damn, he's
22. 0:44Armenian.
23. 1:07What's going on, guys? Welcome back to
24. 1:09the channel and we got a special mighty
25. 1:11journey for you. We are doing a mighty
26. 1:14journey in California, Orange County.
27. 1:17The only place to train when you're down
28. 1:19there is Santo Studio [music] in
29. 1:21Jackson's media house. And we had the
30. 1:23pleasure to get some rounds in with the
31. 1:25number one contender in the UFC
32. 1:26lightweight division, Armen Serukian.
33. 1:32And now this guy's been on absolute
34. 1:33tear. He's been doing all these side
35. 1:35quests. This gentleman [music] has
36. 1:37beaten national champion in real
37. 1:39American freestyle. He has also [music]
38. 1:42grapple a UFC middleweight in Shara. He
39. 1:46has also been doing live streams [music]
40. 1:49with Guru, Aiden Ross, Nina Drama. This
41. 1:53man has been doing everything under the
42. 1:54[music] sun. He's been having all these
43. 1:56five star course meals. But the one side
44. 1:58quest he has not yet done is that
45. 2:01training with your boy me, Mike.
46. 2:25So, you know, Arma shows up and he does
47. 2:27this long extensive warm-up. He jumps on
48. 2:30a dying and he literally goes for 30
49. 2:32minutes the same pace the whole entire
50. 2:34time. And you see him, he's on there
51. 2:36just M
52. 2:40getting ready for the goat.
53. 3:07Crap.
54. 3:09>> Almost done. 2 minutes.
55. 3:10>> See how far you go. 30 minutes.
56. 3:12>> You go 30 minutes.
57. 3:13>> Uh, 30 minutes. Yeah.
58. 3:14>> Every time before you warm up before you
59. 3:16train.
60. 3:17>> No, no, no, no. When I'm off season.
61. 3:19>> Uhhuh.
62. 3:19>> So, I gain weight very fast.
63. 3:22>> That's because all that food you gain.
64. 3:24>> Yeah. So, that's why I do like every day
65. 3:2530 minutes cardio.
66. 3:27>> Uhhuh.
67. 3:27>> And then I do wrestling or
68. 3:30>> training.
69. 3:31My weight is not going up.
70. 3:32>> Oh wow. Low base cardio.
71. 3:36>> And I'm like, "Damn, dog." You know, do
72. 3:38you do this every single day? He goes,
73. 3:39"Yes, because I have a high, you know,
74. 3:42calorie intake." You see the stuff he's
75. 3:43eating on his Instagram, the McDonald's,
76. 3:45the Chick-fil-A. He's eating all this
77. 3:47stuff. And so every day he warms up like
78. 3:49that. But for me, I choose to warm up in
79. 3:51a bag. The reason why I do that is
80. 3:53because for me, I like to separate what
81. 3:56type of training I'm doing. So, we're
82. 3:58doing mixed martial arts training where
83. 4:00I want to focus my warm-up on mixed
84. 4:02martial arts. Throwing combinations on
85. 4:04the bag, moving on angles, moving to the
86. 4:06right, away from the power side,
87. 4:07switching to soft, throwing my left
88. 4:09hand, throwing left, right, and then
89. 4:10going back to orthox going uh right,
90. 4:12left, not overextending, throwing my
91. 4:15knees, make sure my hips are good,
92. 4:16throwing high kicks. For me, I like to
93. 4:18warm up that way when it's mixed martial
94. 4:20arts. Now, if I'm doing strength and
95. 4:21conditioning, then I'll, you know, warm
96. 4:23up by doing, [music] you know, squats
97. 4:26and, you know, lunges and then Rhina
98. 4:28aerodyine and and running because for
99. 4:30me, I like to separate the two. When I'm
100. 4:31doing mixed martial arts, it's solely
101. 4:34mixed martial arts training and then
102. 4:35when I'm doing strength and
103. 4:36conditioning, I like to use that. And
104. 4:38the reason behind that is because I
105. 4:40rather save that warm up for mixed
106. 4:43martial arts training. That way, all
107. 4:45that energy, all the calories that I'm
108. 4:46burning is going to be in MMA instead of
109. 4:48in the air. internet said you were
110. 4:51getting chubby and said don't talk to
111. 4:52him like that.
112. 4:54>> They don't see how many times I train
113. 4:56per day.
114. 4:57>> They don't see the hard work.
115. 4:58>> They just see how I'm eating. [laughter]
116. 5:03>> So yesterday I ate like maybe 15
117. 5:07desserts.
118. 5:08>> 15 desserts. What's your favorite
119. 5:10dessert?
120. 5:11>> I'm not big fan of desserts, but
121. 5:13>> but you had 15 of them yesterday. That
122. 5:14doesn't make any [ __ ] sense.
123. 5:16>> Yeah. So I'll show you.
124. 5:20>> [panting]
125. 5:22>> I'll show what I got yesterday.
126. 5:27>> I'm a dessert guy, too.
127. 5:29>> But 15 is out of my wheelhouse. That
128. 5:31that that would hurt my tummy.
129. 5:34>> Are those all desserts?
130. 5:36>> Yeah. I'll try like one, two, three,
131. 5:38four, five, six, seven, eight.
132. 5:41>> Wow. Oh,
133. 5:42>> this one I like more.
134. 5:43>> That one you like the most, huh?
135. 5:45>> Yeah.
136. 5:47>> So good. Then how long till you go to
137. 5:49bed after that?
138. 5:51>> It wasn't lunch time.
139. 5:52>> That was lunch time. Okay. Okay. That
140. 5:53that makes more sense. You're having
141. 5:55dessert at lunch.
142. 5:56>> Usually dessert is like have dessert.
143. 5:59>> Oh, okay. Okay.
144. 6:00>> Usually I use instead of dessert I use
145. 6:02honey.
146. 6:03>> Ah, gotcha.
147. 6:04>> So coffee.
148. 6:04>> Yeah.
149. 6:05>> Cappuccino or like flat white with
150. 6:07honey. It's my dessert.
151. 6:08>> Gotcha. Okay. So that was a splurge.
152. 6:10>> Yeah.
153. 6:11>> Gotcha.
154. 6:12>> Once
155. 6:14for 3 months. I don't know. Something
156. 6:15like that.
157. 6:16>> Okay. Because when you're in camp, it's
158. 6:18dialed in.
159. 6:19>> Yeah. They they count every day what I
160. 6:21got to eat.
161. 6:22>> Ah, gotcha.
162. 6:23>> So that's why I have no problem with the
163. 6:26weight cut and I cannot do like
164. 6:28sometimes I do like a if my wedding is
165. 6:31good, I my nutrition say you can go and
166. 6:34eat whatever you want.
167. 6:36>> So usually it's like a
168. 6:37>> What up, bro?
169. 6:39>> Hey, what's up, Loco?
170. 6:40>> It's usually Italian or sushi. It's
171. 6:43still healthy, you know.
172. 6:44>> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah,
173. 6:46usually that's all
174. 6:47>> burgers and like
175. 6:49>> In-N-Out I do just for the for the
176. 6:52videos, but I'm big fan of that.
177. 6:54>> Gotcha. He's all
178. 6:57>> This guy likes In and Out.
179. 6:59>> What's up, bro? Why you mad?
180. 7:02>> You good?
181. 7:05>> Yo, this guy disappears for months. He
182. 7:07doesn't respond to the cameraman.
183. 7:08>> No, no, no. You never text me, bro.
184. 7:10>> He sent you a photo of the RM. You said
185. 7:12too cheap. Well, you disrespect HIM LIKE
186. 7:13THAT. [laughter]
187. 7:17OF YOU SHOWED UP at 1:00 a.m. last
188. 7:19night. Brand new Range Rover in a
189. 7:21$400,000 RM. I go, "What's wrong with
190. 7:23you?" He goes, "Nothing. It's just what
191. 7:24I wear at night time." I go, "Bro, that
192. 7:26like doesn't add up. [laughter]
193. 7:28>> It doesn't add up. Batman."
194. 7:29>> He's built different.
195. 7:30>> He's the Armenian Batman.
196. 7:31>> He is Batman.
197. 7:32>> Yeah, he's Armenian Batman.
198. 7:42>> [ __ ] Then after he's done with
199. 7:44that, he does a lot of stretches with
200. 7:46his for with his arms with bands. And he
201. 7:49said he does not lift weights.
202. 7:50Everything he does is only mixed martial
203. 7:53arts, grappling training, and all band
204. 7:55work. He has no shoulder injuries. I've
205. 7:57had, you know, surgery on both my
206. 7:59shoulders. I'm pretty sure if I have
207. 8:00warmed up like his ass, I probably
208. 8:02wouldn't have no damn shoulder injuries.
209. 8:04>> I always try to stretch a lot because I
210. 8:07train a lot, so my muscle
211. 8:10always sore. So when I stretch
212. 8:14my muscle, you know, because I train
213. 8:16twice a day, you know, and that's why
214. 8:18stretching it helps me.
215. 8:20>> Do you want to compete in Armenia
216. 8:22grappling?
217. 8:23>> No.
218. 8:23>> Why?
219. 8:24>> I'll get worked. I don't train enough.
220. 8:26>> No, no, no. Just like with someone, not
221. 8:28like high level, like someone like
222. 8:30>> for fun.
223. 8:31>> Yeah.
224. 8:31>> I'm too busy. I don't have the time.
225. 8:33>> You can make good money.
226. 8:34>> I don't need the money. I just want to
227. 8:36make good content and have fun.
228. 8:38>> Yeah. Just for fun, you know.
229. 8:39>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. Once he got
230. 8:42the warm up, we got right into it. Like
231. 8:43right into it. There was no easing into
232. 8:45it. We slapped hands and got right into
233. 8:47it.
234. 8:48>> Let's do Let's do the a little bit like
235. 8:50how you shoot from the center.
236. 8:52>> So how you prepare for the
237. 8:55>> You want to go in there or you want to
238. 8:56go down here?
239. 8:57>> You sure?
240. 8:58>> Okay.
241. 8:58>> So I just want to see like So see I'm
242. 9:01here, right?
243. 9:01>> Guys, please stay away as much as you
244. 9:02can. Okay. Um
245. 9:03>> No, no, no. Like show me your technique.
246. 9:05How you you single double?
247. 9:07>> I told you I don't do that anymore.
248. 9:09Sometimes when you guys watch this, you
249. 9:10guys might think I might be a little bit
250. 9:12nervous, but there's a switch that goes
251. 9:14on in my mind. It's like, okay, here we
252. 9:15go. It's time to test theory. It's time
253. 9:16to test the void. It's time to see how I
254. 9:19would move against these highle athletes
255. 9:22when I'm retired and these guys are in
256. 9:24the prime of their career.
257. 9:33Why do they doubt the kids? I'm about to
258. 9:35prove them all wrong again. [music]
259. 9:37I got a low tolerance cuz they don't
260. 9:39even know where the problem is. [music]
261. 9:41Yeah, we know we top here cuz all the
262. 9:43you bring we know it stops here. I'm
263. 9:45sicking off like a rocket and stopping
264. 9:47here. It's strange how they cannot see
265. 9:48the future but see profit [music] here.
266. 9:50We going to always win. Promise that
267. 9:54[music]
268. 9:54you know that I promise to bring the
269. 9:56team when the whole team win.
270. 9:59>> So when the first time I started
271. 10:01watching Arus Rukin fight, he would be
272. 10:04so into grappling like he likes to
273. 10:05grapple people so much. I'm like, "Dude,
274. 10:07you're missing a huge payout. You have
275. 10:08me against the cage. I'm my arm is in
276. 10:10there. Pass that arm by and then you can
277. 10:13just let go and and throw a left hook,
278. 10:14right hand and right hand body shot. And
279. 10:17then if they run away, you can throw a
280. 10:18high kick." Right. Um, so I'm just
281. 10:20trying to teach him a little bit of
282. 10:21things that I like to do that I started
283. 10:23to do later in my career. All right.
284. 10:25You're boom
285. 10:27here now. Boom.
286. 10:30>> Because I'm
287. 10:32I'm turn this way.
288. 10:34>> Yeah.
289. 10:34>> Make sense? Cuz we're here. Yeah. But
290. 10:37see, no, no, no, no. So now you
291. 10:41don't
292. 10:43here. Boom.
293. 10:45You grab one. Okay. MMA, this is better
294. 10:50here. Knee here. Just step here.
295. 10:55Here.
296. 10:57And then then if they then if they run,
297. 10:59they run. Boom. Then you can
298. 11:02>> So you don't come too close. You can
299. 11:04>> you leave space for that punch.
300. 11:06>> Yes.
301. 11:07>> So if you're here,
302. 11:09>> boom. Boom.
303. 11:11>> Yeah. Yeah.
304. 11:13>> Yeah. Is
305. 11:15>> there you go. But if I'm here,
306. 11:18if I'm here, we're here. Boom. We're
307. 11:20playing. Boom. You just you just boom.
308. 11:21Here. Here.
309. 11:24Boom. Then
310. 11:26if I want to.
311. 11:27>> Yeah.
312. 11:28>> Yeah. You like that? Okay. Okay. Keep
313. 11:30going, baby. For me, when I was going
314. 11:32with him, I just wanted to see how he
315. 11:34would do with my clinch game. In the
316. 11:36beginning, he was having not troubles,
317. 11:38but he was trying to understand what I
318. 11:40was doing. And I kept on sweeping him,
319. 11:42like judo sweep or muai sweep. But
320. 11:44eventually, he started to pick up on it,
321. 11:45right? So, as we kept on going, he kept
322. 11:47on picking up on my sweep, my sweep, and
323. 11:49he made adjustments. Then, he started
324. 11:50taking me down with it.
325. 11:57>> What are you going to do here, bro? What
326. 11:58are you going to do here? Ah, you do
327. 12:00that.
328. 12:02>> But do you touch you?
329. 12:04>> Yeah. If I'm t tired,
330. 12:05>> just boom.
331. 12:07>> Less energy.
332. 12:08>> You see, I'm thinking about resting, not
333. 12:10like punching.
334. 12:10>> I know. I know. But that's where
335. 12:13>> MMA
336. 12:13>> MMA. But you have so much energy.
337. 12:15>> So, it's not necessarily bad here.
338. 12:18Boom. Boom. He puts his arm in here.
339. 12:21You're going, "Okay." Boom. I'm in good
340. 12:23condition.
341. 12:25Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
342. 12:28Boom. Boom. And then whack.
343. 12:30>> You can do that.
344. 12:31>> How can I get like that the explosive?
345. 12:33>> You can't, baby. You can't.
346. 12:35>> No, you
347. 12:36>> Yes. With the right trainer program, we
348. 12:37get you right where you need to be.
349. 12:38>> Yeah.
350. 12:42>> Okay. You want some water?
351. 12:44>> I just started.
352. 12:45>> I [laughter]
353. 12:48give me a while. Hey. I'm [ __ ] 40.
354. 12:49Okay. Give me some respect. Give some
355. 12:51respect.
356. 12:55>> What What do you think? Like a you see I
357. 12:58I gave my neck right like last two
358. 13:01times.
359. 13:01>> Some of the [ __ ] you do I don't know how
360. 13:03you get out of it.
361. 13:03>> No. No. No. You know why? Because I
362. 13:05shoot like a wrestler.
363. 13:07>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
364. 13:07>> But you don't have you don't have to.
365. 13:10>> Yeah.
366. 13:11>> You you shouldn't like
367. 13:14>> It's better to go from the clinch. Go
368. 13:15down and
369. 13:16>> clinch. But you It's It's a game of cat
370. 13:18and mouse, right? When we start playing
371. 13:22this and we're moving and kicks, kicks,
372. 13:25kicks, you have to overwhelm me with
373. 13:28your presence to make me make a bad
374. 13:30decision. Does that make sense?
375. 13:32>> Yeah.
376. 13:33>> Meaning that if I just All right. You

381. 13:48can't really hit me.
382. 13:49>> Yeah. Make sense? But you feel me? I I
383. 13:52can come in if I need to. I'm I'm
384. 13:54staying out here the whole time just
385. 13:56waiting.
386. 13:59>> Now, now you see how you grab.
387. 14:02>> That's your but that's your natural
388. 14:04reaction. You're grabbing me
389. 14:06>> at this distance. Don't grab me,
390. 14:09>> right? Don't grab.
391. 14:14>> Yeah. Don't grab.

405. 14:50See how I'm here now?
406. 14:51>> Yeah.
407. 14:53>> That's cuz your natural reaction is to
408. 14:55run.
409. 14:56>> Yeah. Run.
410. 14:56>> Run. And then I just I'm here. I'm just

414. 15:05Boom. That's boom. I'm going to I'm I'm
415. 15:08going to land that shot cuz your
416. 15:09weight's going here.
417. 15:11>> Yeah.
418. 15:11>> And that comes it's going to go that
419. 15:14way.
420. 15:14>> Right.
421. 15:16Bring your feet in more. Yes. Now I'm
422. 15:19going to be [ __ ] up.
423. 15:20>> Yeah.
424. 15:24>> Yes. Now I can go this way. Boom. Here.
425. 15:30Boom. Perfect.
426. 15:32Peek. Good job.
427. 15:50Oh, you [ __ ]
428. 15:58>> See that presence there? You shouldn't
429. 16:01have to shoot.
430. 16:02>> Yeah, just play.
431. 16:03>> Just play. You can do that in a fight.
432. 16:06This
433. 16:08boom. you're you're you're angling and
434. 16:10your footwork is so good that you almost
435. 16:14don't give your stand up a
436. 16:18the appreciation it deserves. Does that
437. 16:20make sense?
438. 16:21>> Yeah.
439. 16:21>> If I go like this, you're moving and I
440. 16:24go I go boom boom. Look, boom. You you
441. 16:27you're always Here's another question.
442. 16:30>> Who can out wrestle you in UFC? Who can
443. 16:32out wrestle you?
444. 16:33>> Right now I'm 155 nowhere.
445. 16:35>> Exactly.
446. 16:36>> Yeah. No, I shouldn't I shouldn't worry.
447. 16:38He was Islam, but he went up.
448. 16:40>> Yeah, he went up.
449. 16:41>> Yeah. And it doesn't waste energy.
450. 16:43>> Doesn't waste energy cuz he's
451. 16:44>> Yeah. He's so calm, too.
452. 16:47>> You are too.
453. 16:49>> You are too.
454. 16:50>> You're You're calm. You're not a spaz.
455. 16:53Arm striking is really good. I think his
456. 16:55striking doesn't get the flowers it
457. 16:57deserves because it's so overshadowed
458. 16:59from his wrestling. Meaning that
459. 17:01everybody's like, "Oh my god, his
460. 17:02grappling is so good and he's wrestling.
461. 17:04He's transition." And I saw him like,
462. 17:05"Dude, let your let your hands go. Like,
463. 17:07you're good at crossing the void,
464. 17:09putting pressure on me, and you're
465. 17:11always shooting. Why not make me shoot
466. 17:13on you? Because who's going to I" I I
467. 17:15asked him, I said, "Who's going to out
468. 17:16wrestle you in the UFC?" He goes,
469. 17:18"Nobody. If nobody's going to out
470. 17:20wrestle you, then why don't you force
471. 17:22them to make a bad shot on you? Then
472. 17:24once they shoot on you, then you [ __ ]
473. 17:25them up there. Then you can do whatever
474. 17:26you want. Then you can let your hands be
475. 17:28more be more useful." And he goes,
476. 17:31"Yeah, that is a good idea." Mhm.
477. 17:49Nice. Good. Yeah.
478. 17:53Boom. I'll take that chip. I'll take
479. 17:55that exchange.
480. 17:56>> Yeah.
481. 17:56>> Right here. You're moving. You don't get
482. 17:58the exchange.
483. 17:59>> Yeah.
484. 18:00>> Make sense?
485. 18:03Good exchange. I like that exchange.
486. 18:06I like that exchange. Now throw two
487. 18:08after that.
488. 18:11Yeah. Or go more straight. Not angle.
489. 18:14Right. If I go here. Yes. Then then
490. 18:18close in. Yeah. I go here. I go.
491. 18:23Yep. Yep.
492. 18:25You do it to me.
493. 18:29Now I want to be here. So I go up. So I
494. 18:31can get closer and I can I can move if I
495. 18:34need to.
496. 18:34>> You see us you do the you bars the mind
497. 18:38like automatically.
498. 18:39>> Yeah.
499. 18:40>> Just my mind say from the wrestling you
500. 18:43got to grab him.
501. 18:43>> But but the more
502. 18:45>> the more you spend time doing this
503. 18:47>> and say I'm not going to wrestle this
504. 18:48round.
505. 18:49>> Yeah.
506. 18:49>> I'm going to force you to wrestle.
507. 18:51>> Yeah. And then make him tired
508. 18:54>> then
509. 18:54>> and take the bag.

520. 19:22>> Yeah.
521. 19:24>> Yeah.
522. 19:26>> Yeah. So, boom. I'm just here waiting
523. 19:28this boom.
524. 19:29>> Oh, gotcha. It's when he's like a little
525. 19:31bit
526. 19:31>> when he's I'm not going to do it to only
527. 19:33time I'll do it is if we're here.
528. 19:36>> We're we're against him. I'm going to
529. 19:38crush him. We're in a cage. I might I
530. 19:39might go boom.
531. 19:40>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When you like feel
532. 19:42you're confident you're safe there
533. 19:44>> and but there's a cage behind him.
534. 19:46>> Oh god.
535. 19:46>> I'm not going to do it
536. 19:48>> because he can pack.
537. 19:49>> Yeah. Or if I'm here.
538. 19:53>> Yes. Or
539. 19:56look up too too far. Right.
540. 20:00But if we're fighting, if we're fighting
541. 20:01the cage and we're here and I'm I'm
542. 20:03here, I'm boom. Yeah.
543. 20:05>> Because now you you have two options.
544. 20:08You can block it. I get clinch. You
545. 20:11don't block. I eat you eat the knee.
546. 20:13>> Yeah.
547. 20:13>> Overhand. Right. People got to
548. 20:14understand like in that second fight,
549. 20:16Adriana was overextending. Overextended.
550. 20:18It took me four rounds to get him to
551. 20:20overextend where I was able to
552. 20:21capitalize on him. But it's those small
553. 20:23movements that I was trying to teach arm
554. 20:26like I'm moving on that arc and I'm
555. 20:28faking. I'm showing things and then I
556. 20:30can strike like a cobra.
557. 20:31>> Even Even here, I'm always I'm always
558. 20:34fighting.
559. 20:35>> Yeah.
560. 20:35>> To get you here.
561. 20:36>> Push him.
562. 20:37>> Always doing that.
563. 20:39>> So, you're always here.
564. 20:41>> Yes.
565. 20:42>> Yes.
566. 20:44>> Yeah. So, I'm always I'm always like
567. 20:47this. Even when we come in.
568. 20:51>> Yeah. You push me on the safe distance
569. 20:53and I cannot see your punch.
570. 20:55>> Yeah.
571. 20:56>> I want to be I want to be
572. 20:59Yes. Because I can't only thing I I the
573. 21:02two options. You push. I have to run.
574. 21:06Right. Or or you push I'm
575. 21:12Yeah. No. I'm I'm here and I'm fighting
576. 21:14you.
577. 21:14>> Yeah.
578. 21:15>> Right.
579. 21:16>> Yeah.
580. 21:16>> That's why I don't want to I don't want
581. 21:18to I don't want to fight this arm in
582. 21:21here.
583. 21:22>> That's just too hard. You go too far

586. 21:30got your back.

589. 21:33>> How you do the
590. 21:35your taked down.
591. 21:47>> You do so good. Like his thumb does very
592. 21:49well too.
593. 21:53>> See, I'm pulling you this way.
594. 21:54>> Yeah. I'm just trying to go like this.
595. 21:58>> But it has to be
596. 22:00>> it's more of a dance.
597. 22:02>> Yeah.
598. 22:02>> Right.
599. 22:02>> Just find your position position. So
600. 22:04just play a little bit.
601. 22:06>> Step.
602. 22:07>> Yes.
603. 22:09>> Yes.
604. 22:11>> I'll stand more.
605. 22:16>> You're here, right?
606. 22:16>> Yep. So if I go here, you you I I since
607. 22:20I know what you're doing, just display
608. 22:22it. You can't It has to be We're moving.
609. 22:25Boom. Boom.
610. 22:27>> I predicted the step.
611. 22:28>> I'm predicting your step. And that's why
612. 22:30I don't take down anymore cuz I'm just
613. 22:32up. Boom. Got you. Then I can wrestle,
614. 22:36grapple, do whatever I can do.
615. 22:38>> Yeah.
616. 22:40>> So you're trying to find the my step
617. 22:43too. I know where your step is going to
618. 22:44be cuz look, we're moving. You just step
619. 22:48there.
620. 22:50You just step there. Move. I go here.
621. 22:52Move. We're moving. You just step there.
622. 22:55>> I know where your step is cuz we're
623. 22:57we're playing this. If I go here, you
624. 22:58you come back in. Boom.
625. 23:04>> Yeah.
626. 23:07>> Nice.
627. 23:08And you did a good job because I thought
628. 23:10you going to sweep me on this one, but
629. 23:11you did this one. Yeah,
630. 23:13>> make sense.
631. 23:13>> Yeah. Just go
632. 23:15>> go with the flow.
633. 23:16>> Yeah.
634. 23:16>> I'm not saying don't wrestle. I'm saying
635. 23:18that you're so good at wrestling and
636. 23:20your condition is so good that you want
637. 23:22to invite people.
638. 23:24>> Yeah. In your space.
639. 23:25>> Exactly. Sometimes when I fight, I'll go
640. 23:28like this. I'll go
641. 23:30catch my kick
642. 23:36on purpose.
643. 23:36>> On purpose because I want I want this to
644. 23:39happen cuz I'm going to beat you there,
645. 23:41right? If if if I'm having a hard time,
646. 23:44I can't reach you. I'm like, "Perfect.
647. 23:46Come here now." Boom.
648. 23:49I'm I'm closing that distance, right?
649. 23:52So, if you throw a kick, you throw a
650. 23:53kick.
651. 23:55Boom. I hear Now, look where you're at.
652. 23:57Now, pass through. Pass through. Pass
653. 23:59through. Boom. Look where you got. Now,
654. 24:01look. Knee. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
655. 24:04Boom. Now, step back and slap my head
656. 24:07down.
657. 24:08>> Boom.
658. 24:10>> Switch. Switch. Yeah. Oh yeah. Boom.
659. 24:15>> But I cannot see. What are you doing
660. 24:16from there? My
661. 24:18>> picture cheese. So we're here. You go
662. 24:20kick. Boom. Okay. Kick. BOOM. OH YEAH.
663. 24:26BOOM.
664. 24:28>> YEAH, MAN. You good, baby? You good?
665. 24:32>> Thank you, man. Thank you so much.
666. 24:34>> I hope I'm going to do your thing.
667. 24:36>> And I got
668. 24:36>> You will. Wow. When I got done working
669. 24:40with Arman, I sat down, I took a I I sat
670. 24:42down. I like to reflect on like what I
671. 24:44just went through with that athlete and
672. 24:46one super athletic, super strong, very
673. 24:49good about adapting. Like he'll you'll
674. 24:51do something to him, then he'll start to
675. 24:52adapt to it. Walk condition. He never
676. 24:55gets tired [music] and there's he's
677. 24:56always willing to ask and he's always a
678. 24:59student of the game. I think out of all
679. 25:01of it, I think I was more impressed
680. 25:03about how good of a training partner he
681. 25:04is with the size difference and like he
682. 25:07will give me enough strength to like
683. 25:09move and there's times like he will
684. 25:10actually try and I I would use all my
685. 25:12strength and then just a great [ __ ]
686. 25:15training partner. Like that's the thing
687. 25:16I was most impressed by. Like if he's
688. 25:18able to train like that with multiple
689. 25:19people, he will have a long career of
690. 25:22taking less damage. like there's a point
691. 25:24in time to start sparring hard, but I
692. 25:26feel like he's a person that could
693. 25:28probably go through his career training
694. 25:30like that and become a world champion. I
695. 25:32I I feel that I feel comfortable saying
696. 25:34that. [laughter]
697. 25:40>> How you like working with uh Demetrius?
698. 25:44>> I like it a lot. He's genius. The goat.
699. 25:49uh I think most technical ever athlet
700. 25:59new from him that's why I like to spend
701. 26:02time with him he's so smart he knows
702. 26:05what we got to do what we should do
703. 26:09that's why he defend so much times the
704. 26:12seat belt nobody could beat him I wanted
705. 26:16to know how his switches And when he's
706. 26:19throwing uh knees and his clinch work,
707. 26:23you know, his explosive from what
708. 26:25position he wrestle, how he wrestle. So,
709. 26:29a lot of things, a lot of details that
710. 26:30nobody, not a lot of people can see what
711. 26:33he does better than everybody. That's
712. 26:36why so it's so important to train with
713. 26:39someone who has more experience and more
714. 26:41technical than you. especially he's a
715. 26:44lighter than me and he knows more
716. 26:46technique. Uh I feel like light people
717. 26:51they they more explosive more technical
718. 26:53than heavyear.
719. 26:55So especially like 155 they're not like
720. 26:59technical like 125 fibers. That's why we
721. 27:03need something. We we use a lot of
722. 27:04strengths. They use their brain. They're
723. 27:07they're too smart. You know,
724. 27:09>> at the beginning when we started, I was
725. 27:10like, man,
726. 27:12camera's off,
727. 27:14>> man. If he fights,
728. 27:17>> and now when you look at Armor Surukin
729. 27:19after training with him, and if he
730. 27:20fights Il Deoria, I think he has the
731. 27:22athletic ability, the skill set, and the
732. 27:24mixed martial artist and the mindset to
733. 27:26be able to beat Ilore.
734. 27:29Does he deserve a title shot over Justin
735. 27:31Gate? You know, to be honest with you,
736. 27:33Arman Sugan should be fighting should
737. 27:35have fought either Justin Gatei or Patty
738. 27:37Pilman for the interim champion, but he
739. 27:39didn't didn't choose him. They chose
740. 27:41Justin Gatei versus Patty Pilman. Justin
741. 27:44Gate beat Patty Pilman. So, by law,
742. 27:47according to the Westland gangster at
743. 27:49RCW316124,
744. 27:52[music] uh the interim champion should
745. 27:54be fighting Illora next. And that's the
746. 27:56fight that needs to happen. And then
747. 27:58after that, Armor Shurukin should
748. 28:00[music] be fighting the winner of Justin
749. 28:02Gachi versus Ila Deoria. So that's how I
750. 28:05have it. But I think Arukin has the best
751. 28:08chance in the lightweight division to
752. 28:09beat Ila Deoria.
753. 28:12>> I'm so glad I'm done with this game.
754. 28:15>> One more time.
755. 28:16>> One more. Okay,
756. 28:17>> that was a great training session with
757. 28:18Armen. I think we went for about two
758. 28:20[ __ ] hours. Two hours. uh the way
759. 28:23he's able to adjust and he's a great
760. 28:25training partner. Even though he's
761. 28:26bigger than me, he wasn't using all his
762. 28:28weight and all his strength. There were
763. 28:30times he was using his strength um and
764. 28:32his weight, but that's why I always tell
765. 28:35people like be able to get the
766. 28:36opportunity to vibe out with the best in
767. 28:37the world and learn from them. Why he's
768. 28:39so dominant in the wrestling aspect and
769. 28:41his technique. Even his standup is
770. 28:42pretty good. He doesn't flinch a lot.
771. 28:44He's very smooth on the feet. Um that's
772. 28:47what I love doing, man. And that's what
773. 28:48the Mighty Journey is about is going
774. 28:49around traveling the world, training
