00:00Three-second knockout, that is just insane against Perez back in BKFC 78 in

00:05Hollywood a couple weeks ago.

00:07I mean, were you just so wound up from not getting to fight for so long that you

00:11wanted to get off quick?

00:12What was it?

00:13Was it a plan to attack him that fast?

00:15How'd this go down?

00:17Oh, man, I had to make a statement, man.

00:19I told him from the beginning I was coming to mop the floor with the 205 division,

00:23man, and I was able to really perform and show that to the world instead of being

00:28able to tell you guys.

00:30And like I said, man, this is only the beginning.

00:32Imagine, this has been the longest camp I've ever had.

00:34Six weeks?

00:35Oh, man.

00:36And then not only that, I was able to really start giving back to the community.

00:40So I had the kids' support from this.

00:42You know, everybody that was able to really afford the gyms and all that.

00:45I've created a program called Training in the Park, free to the public,

00:48learning the basics.

00:49I figured it was a way to help keep me engaged and with my cardio and with as

00:54far as like being active.

00:56And it was phenomenal, man.

00:58The support that I had gotten.

01:00And it's just that fire, man, that just makes you want to fight for something else.

01:04It was like there's nothing else like it, man.

01:06Just goosebumps.

01:07And I felt the support from my people, man, going in there.

01:10And there was no way I was coming out there losing, man.

01:13You guys were going to have to keep carrying me out on my shield.

01:15But I told them I'm coming for that fight of the night or that knockout of the night.

01:19Man, man, oh man, it was so good to get in there, man.

01:24It was way too long for sure.

01:27I'm sure it did.

01:28Especially, you know, getting a quick night like that.

01:30A guy doesn't even get a chance to hit you.

01:32Although, you know, a guy like you, I'm sure you wanted to get a few shots in

01:35to make sure you're still feeling good so you kind of were disappointed

01:38because you're nuts like that where you want to take some shots too.

01:41You want to actually mix it up in there.

01:43But great performance.

01:44I was ready for a while.

01:45Once you got that first shot that dropped him in the second one on the way down,

01:48just for good measure.

01:49Did you know that was over right away?

01:51Did you see it in his eyes?

01:52He wasn't getting back up.

01:53Man, when I felt it, actually when I went in with the southpaw charging,

01:59because I knew since here was the southpaw,

02:00nobody's ever really took consideration of like my orthodox

02:04and my southpaw stance.

02:06Because I like to switch around in between both of them.

02:08So now that I felt a lot more comfortable with my hips being open,

02:11I was able to really utilize that front southpaw stepping, man.

02:15Oh, it felt so good, man.

02:18Because I feel more technical on my southpaw.

02:20And I was really able to showcase that, man.

02:23Because there was times when he swung at me and I knew that right hook was coming.

02:26So I just doubled up on that jab.

02:28And man, it was that shield that got me to move in.

02:31And then I snuck it on that left coming in.

02:35And I just felt I was in position to release that right.

02:38That southpaw hook, man.

02:39That front hook.

02:40And it felt so good.

02:41When I just felt his body kind of go limp.

02:44That's when I was like, because I was scared going in there.

02:46I'm not going to lie to you guys.

02:47I was scared going in there.

02:48Like I knew this was going to be a good battle.

02:50If he was able to let some shots off.

02:52But I didn't know I was able to have that much power.

02:54I knew there was going to be a little bit difference of my power.

02:57Because I felt more open with my hips.

02:59But man, when I let that first hook go.

03:02And then I just saw everything go limp.

03:04And I was like, whoa, wait.

03:05In my mind, I was able to think and process.

03:07And if I let him get back up, he's going to get back up.

03:10I was like, let me finish this right now.

03:12And I caught him with that left hook.

03:14And then I caught him again with that right hook.

03:15Just to make sure the job was done.

03:16Because I was calculating.

03:18His hands wasn't touching the ground.

03:19And his knees weren't touching the ground.

03:21But I know he was still going down.

03:22But to make sure he wasn't getting back up on.

03:24I had to let those last two off, man.

03:27Well, you certainly did that.

03:29There was no chance after those two punches that he was getting back off that mat.

03:32One of the fastest knockouts in the history of combat sports.

03:35Three seconds is just insane to even fathom that's how quick you got the finish.

03:39But you did.

03:40And afterwards, you had a message for someone else in that division.

03:43Of course, you know, you feel that good.

03:45You're going to look to the top there.

03:46And you certainly did that as we see in the post fight interview.

03:50Listen, listen.

03:51Chris Camozzi.

03:54Oh, yeah.

03:55You know what time it is.

03:57I told you before, Player Pim.

03:59I'm coming.

04:00I'm coming.

04:01And there ain't nothing you can do to stop it.
