00:00This is, you know, as per usual, you know, great car. People look excited for it. The fighters are

00:07hyped for it as we've been talking to them. Where, if people aren't in the Long Beach area,

00:12where's the best way to watch it? Is it on the Lights Out app? Is it on the website?

00:15What's the best way to check out all the action this weekend?

00:18Yeah, yeah. This Saturday we'll be live in Long Beach. If you can't come there, we'll be

00:22live on Lights Out Sports TV, which you guys can download on every smart TV device, iOS,

00:28Android, completely free. But man, we got a big one. We got a burn on our hands this weekend.

00:33And as you said, I'm sure you guys have kind of felt that the temperature from the fighters

00:40and talking to them and just how they feel about this weekend. And I've been saying it now for the

00:44past, you know, three or four weeks, just guys going back and forth, man. And this one's going

00:48to be big. It certainly is. And we were talking to, you know, like you said, the fighters,

00:54we have multiple championships on the line here. Let's start with the heavyweight championship,

00:58a guy who we've been talking to is going to be pulling double duty. Of course,

01:01Blake Troop going to be in there first, going to be calling fights like he has for you for a while,

01:04then going to be taking off the headset, putting on the gloves and mixing it up, fighting for a

01:08title in his swan song here, his final fight. What should we expect with him versus Fidele

01:13here in this title fight at the heavyweight? Yeah, man, it's cool. You know, what's funny

01:20about Drake, about Blake is he, he wanted to go and commentate the first part of the fight

01:26and get back in the booth when, you know, when he's done. So he wanted to go back and forth during

01:30the fight day, but that's how he's wired. Blake is wired completely different, man. He's such

01:35a technician. If you hear him as a broadcaster, as a commentator, how he can articulate what's

01:41going on. I mean, you know, we're fortunate to have him there, just his excitement, his energy,

01:46but he's a technician, man. I think that Blake, I don't know if this is going to be his last

01:49one or not. It probably will be. We're just happy as with Lights Out Extreme Fight, man,

01:53but he's going to go out with a bang. Doing that dedication too. He told us he moved everything

01:58back. He's been in Florida doing the wrestling thing for a while, you know, doing that as his,

02:02you know, future career as well. But now that he came back to California to train

02:05back to his old gym. So, you know, obviously whether it's his last fight or not, he's putting

02:09in that work. He's not taking it lightly, not a, you know, just showing up, trying to get paid.

02:13He's making sure that he's ready to try to get this title. Yeah, no doubt about that. He was

02:18training at a great place. My guys over there, Black House, you know, I've trained over there

02:22for some years and jumped on the open mat on Friday, sparred a little bit myself. And I know

02:26they got some great fighters coming out of that gym. So he had great coaches and a great team

02:30around him. And look, man, I mean, I know he said this might be his last fight, but the way he's

02:35look, he probably could fight a couple more fights if he really wanted to do that. But either way,

02:39man, we're happy to have him. He's going to put on a show. He's the main event of the night.

02:43Everybody is coming out to see him. You know, he's sold a ton of tickets and making a lot of

02:47noise. So there's some other big fighters, too, that we want to look at. And Arnold Jimenez,

02:52you know, he's 10 and 3 right now. He's fighting Keenan Lewis. You know, that fight is going to be

02:58a banger as well. But they, you know, Keenan has been on a five win streak. And Jimenez,

03:04you know, I don't know, he's like 10 and 3 right now. This dude is just, well, one of these guys

03:08might have a shot there if they continue on this path, get into the UFC and maybe go on a day in

03:14his contender series or something like that. But, you know, we got some up and coming superstars.

03:18Another one I want to talk about is Jake Babion, who's making this Lightshot Extreme Fighting

03:22appearance, you know, with us for the first time. When I tell you a personality like this dude,

03:27he's, he like walks the walk, talks the talk, and he backs it up, man. He's a showman. So,

03:32you know, he's bringing a lot of people out. And he's one of the ones we want to build, man. We

03:37want to keep him around for a while because he brings a lot of excitement. You know, also the

03:41caveman, man, Sloan. Sloan, he's, you know, he's fighting again back with us. I believe this is

03:47his second fight. He's, he fights at 190, right? And a lot of these guys I'll see, not a lot of

03:53them, but some of them I'll see for the first time in person at the weigh-ins. And, you know, it's

03:57funny because, you know, some of these guys that watch me play football, you know, maybe their

04:01favorite player they watched growing up. And so they might look at me and say, oh man, you're

04:05bigger in person than I thought. And I get there and I see Sloan, the caveman, who's fighting at

04:10190. And I'm like, dude, you look nothing like at 190. He's looked like he's every bit of 230 and

04:14240 pounds. He's solid. He's looking to put on another show, man. But we're stacked up. We got

04:19seven, seven amateur, seven pro, you know, the doors open at four o'clock and by five o'clock,

04:24man, if you look at that fight, when we first come on, watch how packed it is. What our first

04:29amateur fight, that place is like 60% full and it's hard to do that in this business, man. But

04:35that's what kind of momentum we got right now. And everybody come out to watch and we appreciate it.
