three rounds and 15 minutes if needed here in the UFC’s loaded bantamweight division sometimes it takes a little bit for a fight to play out but uh kind of start slow right here’s when we’re Southpaw south paw he lands this outside leg kick right we do measure leg reach right now and both of these guys from hip to foot have a longer leg reach that’s the kick that hurt right there that’s the one and that’s not my fault I mean I just throw it hard as I could also I’m not expecting that to happen again I think that was it yeah that was it so I felt my foot go numb right here the exact same it was damn near the exact same feeling I felt when I broke my foot you think he knew right away though when he like I don’t know seems pretty stupid maybe I don’t think it did the moment he fell to the ground like that I was like something is going on but also since I’m a reader I was like he could be playing but there was something on his eyes on his so that you’re like he was worrying about it and so it wasn’t it people are saying oh it’s a crazy calf kick calf kick when you land on the calf they hurt they’re not fun but uh your foot doesn’t go numb your calf kind of goes numb and it is a weird feeling it’s not good but you still can you can still lift your foot like this so when he kicked my nerve The Perennial nerve I I had drop foot so my foot every time I would walk forward it would roll something’s wrong with leg I don’t know what happened I really so I just my that nerve just not coming back still about dropped his ass I tell him good job I mean I’m with him I mean he can do all the Run online but I run here see look at it still piecing him up with one foot and I go step back oh it’s not there down we’ll hear about it in the corner if he gets there [Applause] hug stops the sugar show in round one oh my goodness incredible oh my goodness I remember thinking too I was like God I think my foot ising oh yeah that sucked he was clearly down a limb the ref wanted to make sure that the fighter was safe because of the foot like the the end the Finish yeah were you okay with it I mean it seemed like herb kind of knew that you were injured and maybe that that’s why he made it I think there was a little bit of that too he did land a good elbow it definitely rocked me and I was just real upset and I remember thinking he like he was his excitement was surprised he’s surprised he did it were you really satisfied after the fight you you felt like it was like that was that was legit satisfied like everything I’m cool man I won the fight do say whatever you want gray all you want I don’t give a about your feelings or your what you think I just feel for for Marlin Vera because I feel people are going to try to take away what he did and I don’t believe that’s necessary what if anything do you give uh Cheeto credit for in this fight um he made weight showed up kicked my nerve you know did what he had to do I’ve been fighting for so long that I’m like skill for skill I didn’t lose this fight how many how many thousands of leg kicks happen every single year not just in UFC but in all the promotions and how many times do that happen we keep talking about lck God bless my luck not bad to be lucky dude i’ rather be lucky than being nobody if he goes in there you know kicks the nerve again and mying leg starts limping out like a noodle again maybe I’ll maybe I’ll admit okay knows how to do that but feel like it might have been a little lucky but and we all we get to see it play out March 9th in Miami
