JRE MMA Show #38 with Gaston Bolanos & Kirian Fitzgibbons

four three two one yeah and we're live gentlemen what's up what's up boys good
to see you again
what's happening happy to be here man happy to have you here man thanks you are
the only guy
right now that i know of that is fighting at the highest level in three combat
sports correct
mma muay thai and kickboxing that's fucking crazy thanks man how do you keep
your head together
i don't know like last time warming up in rome actually was the first time like
warming up for a
kickboxing fight i threw a spinning back i was like i better not do that shit
yeah spinning back elbows
no bueno in a kickbox you could do a spinning back fist though right i did
which i landed two of them
and in my last fight do you see the what's happening lately where a lot of guys
are hitting
foreheads with their arms and snapping their arm page did it um uh obviously uh
who else did it
recently paul felder did it yeah a couple guys have done it they spin and you
catch foreheads and
that is not a good combination i feel i feel like the kickboxing glove protects
you a little bit
more than them right probably does yeah you know four ounce ten ounce there's a
there's a little bit
of cushion there that might protect you a little more yeah it's still i don't
know it's still something
that you know when i first started fighting kickboxing he was like i don't know
i mean like
be careful with it because i would like kind of catch like the middle of my arm
right it's you know
it's a little it's a little different than the spinning elbow which is i've in
my opinion a lot
more safer to throw now what happens if you throw a spinning backfist and kickboxing
and you really
kind of catch them with like the meat above the elbow it's illegal it's legal
or no it's illegal it's
illegal you're only what about here no you have to in based on and whether it's
glory or it's k1 or it's
bellator it has to be with the back knuckle back of the pad of the back it can't
be the side it cannot
be a hammer fist that is a legal that's weird you'll get a point deducted and
when if you if you cause
more damage then the you might go get dq'd yeah when sato knocked out joe in
that bellator fight
if you watch it it was a hammer fist and there was a lot of talk about whether
it was legal or illegal
but it wasn't a back fist it was a hammer fist hmm yeah it's not interesting
yeah it's illegal per
iska and and most governing bodies so when knocked out joe shilling in that
kickboxing fight when they
first saw because they spun and because he landed with the back of the hand or
the side of the hand
it's actually illegal it's considered a foul yeah did anybody bring it out they
mentioned it but i think
at that time joe had come off of that simon situation with lion fight and he
was like move on you know
right you know i got knocked out it is what it is you know so he didn't make a
big deal about it
that dude hits hard yeah absolutely yeah and joe's so reckless he's so
aggressive you know like he he
has these moments of like extreme emotion where he just yeah and that dude he
wanted to knock that dude
out so bad after he got knocked out in the mma fight yeah he wanted to knock
him out in his rules yeah
and i think that there's what you saw with cody this weekend too yeah so much
emotion one fight you know
yeah man we were talking about that and watching the replays like you could see
in his face that every shot he was trying to knock him out as soon as i saw him
walk i mean
not walk out he looked okay walking out as soon as like the bell rung i was
like
he just did he looked a little stiff yeah you know and i was hoping like he
would shake it off
get in the rhythm like land a couple jabs just like you know we were working on
when i spar with
him a couple times uh leading up to uh the tj fight i go up to alpha male to do
my wrestling a lot
of my grappling um you know they have so many 135 145 pounders up there that
you know only an hour
half away drive right it only makes sense to go up there you know exchange
knowledge so you know as
soon as i saw him walk out and started the fight i was like i hope she's he
just shakes it off and
like gets into his his groove like when he fought dom like that was artwork
that was that was incredible
he just let him come to him and i was hoping that that was what was his game
plan
knock his ass out no he he wanted to use more wrestling from what uh we were
talking danny and
all those guys about he wanted to use more wrestling and definitely a lot of
kicks yeah
he he wanted to kick a little bit as well but he also wanted to just do the
same thing to what he did
to dom you know just kind of like piece him up and i mean considering the last
fight he almost
finished him in the first round right when they first fought he was like i can
i can do this i can
finish this guy well i think he could finish anybody yeah definitely but it's
he's got to go
about it the right way yeah and i thought he was going about it the right way
initially with the
kicks yeah and i was like look even if these are just landing on the arms like
these are going to
soften tj up these are brutal he was throwing some brutal kicks and it was a
totally different
thing he was a he was adding a whole different aspect to the fight that he did
in the first fight
and it wasn't uh it it it it when he started throwing the kicks i was like yeah
there's the
game plan i see what i see what's going beautiful and then when he pointed to
the ground and he was
like yes you couldn't touch me i'm like oh he's starting to get in his rhythm
but that's what i hate
about immediate rematches after a knockout it's just it's still in your head it's
just the confidence
level the anger the emotion like you know henry two three years between his
fight with dj where he got
you know finished in the first round right more fights fighting some other
people he was a different
human he was absolutely but if he had fought dj the very next fight who knows
how that goes right
but it's all it was that would be hard to sell right unless henry was the
champion and dj took the crown
from him this is the whole idea was that you know cody had beat dom cody was
the champ and that cody was
defending the honor of alpha male and tj was this snake in the grass they were
going to put away you
know that was the whole idea behind the ultimate fighter and this there was
just so i don't think
there's ever been a fight other than maybe ronda and misha that had more
emotion just more you know
bad blood yeah yeah the ronda the misha thing might have been worse so people
don't remember how hated
ronda was after that misha fight because she wouldn't shake misha's hand yeah
like misha tried to shake
her hand and ronda was like get out of here and just walked away from her and
everybody's like
whoa and like while i was interviewing her it was just a boo like the whole
audience was booing
those emotional fights they're so compelling to watch but man they're so fraught
with peril for the fighters
absolutely if you look at his face this kid has 50 fights he has 50 fights
amateur muay thai mma kickboxing
back to a junior the only scars you're going to see on his face are from a
fight where he fought damien
early whose brother had that was a lion fight that was a lion fight i saw that
fight yeah i was very
angry he was very i wanted to put him away i dropped him what twice once
because gaston was a rising
star in line fight at the time and the family the the earlies the chastains and
everything's cool now
but at the time the parents were very aggressive online towards gaston they
were like his parents were
yeah they won't fight yeah exactly he gaston won't fight our boy well one you're
not even in his weight
class you know and then you know they said oh we can make the weight so okay if
you make the weight
we'll take the fight and they made the way they made the weight but it was the
one and i've said it
sense what was that anything too well yeah eddie and then eddie who eddie
episode my one of my teammates
oh okay we've been trained together for what like five years now yeah and what
was the problem with
them they fought damien and eddie fought 155 pounds which is what eddie and
they both fight it
that way then he wanted to come down to fight me but eddie landed in the legal
elbow in the back of the
neck it wasn't it didn't seem like it was that hard but it's it ended the fight
and eddie got dq'd and then
they were just talking matches saying oh you know you wanted you did that on
purpose and like eddie
if you meet eddie you go he's the coolest guy ever he's a smooth fighter yeah
silky smooth that's his
nickname silky smooth amazing yeah he seems so chill in there and just just
really knows how to pace
himself and just extend his energy perfectly yeah i mean really interesting
fighter to watch he's he's my
favorite people to work with like yeah like train with yeah yeah he's he's he's
he's such a and he's
such an amazing human being now and the best part is is that gaston hated him i
hated it i hated it
and i didn't i was just pre pre braids eddie uh yeah and so growing up as an
amateur eddie eddie started
what like two years after yeah yeah about two years after i did and you know i
i always like shake his
hand and stuff like that when i saw him but we the camp that he was from his
coach hated me did not like
me at all yeah and uh so gaston was fighting in san francisco and it was the
first time that gaston ever
got knocked out and he got knocked out he was supposed to you know this and
gaston at the time locally in the
bay area he was the guy you know the amateur kid he's a star everybody loves 18
years old
beating everybody fighting anybody anybody in any weight class from you know
130 137 to 150 i'll fight
anybody i didn't care i was just trying to get the experience the first two
years of my of my junior
career no so the first year i fought as a junior i beat pretty much every
everybody my age and back then
the rules were like if you're under 16 you can't if you're if you're under 18
you're a junior you're
gonna get me in trouble man yeah so we we just faked my uh my birth my my that
happens so often
yeah so i was 18 i was 18 two years before that i was 18. yeah i haven't
fighting adults early why do
people do that that's nobody would fight him he couldn't fight he was either
doing that or he'd beat
everybody junior so we said okay so we made him 18 and he fought and he got and
he got knocked out
just he cut too much weight for a fight and you know you go as you as you learn
he cut down to 37 and
and it was a little what was your walk around weight well the thing is i was
planning on fighting so
what was the camp that we were fighting my yeah yeah yeah so we were fighting
we were supposed to
fight at 142 which i was fine with and at the time i probably could have made
135 but the week of is
like hey your opponent dropped out his teammate will fight you but he'll fight
you at 137. oh yeah and
you know going from five extra pounds is a lot but going from 140 yeah exactly
i was like walking on 149
yeah going like another 12 pounds at that age i was like 18 i wasn't i didn't
do it right i was just
like it just didn't work out for me yeah so he got caught and uh i was winning
the fight oh yeah absolutely
he's winning the fight destroying i mean and again this guy i think he works at
walmart now
and that's not a bullshit this is a great kid power right hand no disrespect to
walmart no disrespect
but he got caught and in between rounds i could see it was like a deer in headlight
he just gaston
was on autopilot he was winning but he wasn't there so he gets caught he gets
dropped and literally eddie's
camp was just swarmed the ring screaming and yelling gaston's out yeah and i
remember clearly seeing eddie
in that guy's corner like you know just like yeah and like he was just part of
the camp doing what
everybody all his friends were doing and since then i was like oh i hate it and
we all i did not like
we all
