The City Kickboxing boys, including champ Israel Adesanya and Tyson Pedro, enjoy the benefits of sharing the card. Tai Tuivasa …
it’s a very special thing to have all you guys fighting on the same card obviously we’re a bit of a superpower if you like in this part of the world the teams out there get a chance to put three four five guys on do it because you’ll never get a feeling like that and a gym Emma it’s very unique we for the most part have the same crew that’s been around us for years so if there’s new people they kind of pop in we’re going to go through some horrific physical feat to gain your acceptance which one’s leading off [Applause] and now let’s go [Applause] and you’ve got all this testosterone in the room you’ve got 30 other guys watching you cannot be the one that gives up oh my God [Applause] we’re not looking for you to win really looking for you to not give up because that’s what the Sport’s about [Applause] there was wake up and had a coffee enjoy this beautiful view and the beach played a bit of a touch football down at the beach and put his energy in the right places [Applause] yeah I

friends around him so it’s good ah hello guys oh have a seat huh how do you intend to win it like what is ideal for you yeah I got to bring him to a place that he doesn’t want to be I got to get close I got to make it a war and I just gotta start chipping away chipping away and maybe it’s a TKO or maybe I win the third fourth and fifth did you do anything differently in sparring to try to adapt to that my like you know with Alex’s hard man it was like you’re getting a title fight if you win this big scary kickboxer you know it’s like there’s a lot of pressure a lot of pressure that I think I like get to my head and mind you and it could be the same way it is yeah go on there get knocked out first round like oh give me my check I’m going home but uh yeah it’s just go in there and fight
