00:00What was it like the first time in a BKFC for you?

00:04Like, because it's got, it's different.

00:05It's a different company.

00:07You're walking in, you're like, oh, damn, this is real now.

00:09Well, I'm doing this.

00:11What's the difference, Jimmy?

00:12And you've done it.

00:13So I know, you know, you know the goosebumps, you know the feelings of the first time in the octagon to the first time in a BKFC.

00:20And I'm thinking, is this going to be a shock for Frankie?

00:23Because there's got to be some sort of, oh, God, this is a lot different.

00:26But any MMA guy coming in here and doing bare knuckle is going to be a shock.

00:32I mean, listen, you're getting hit with a bare fist.

00:34It's a lot easier to get cut.

00:36You can't mess up throwing punches.

00:38It's really easy to break your hand.

00:39There's a lot of room for error.

00:41So that's a lot easier bone to, you know, all the scar tissue on your face to get cut.

00:46So it's a different animal.

00:48And it's been proven already.

00:49You saw Rocco fight Perry.

00:51And after he got hit, he was like, what the f*** am I doing?

00:54And it's just like Mike Tyson says, you know,

00:56everybody's got to plan to get hit.

00:58But when you get hit with a bare fist from another guy who can throw a punch,

01:02it's a shock.

01:03So you're either going to bite down your mouthpiece and f***ing be game,

01:07or you're going to be like, yeah, I'm done.

01:09You know, how am I going to get out of this?

01:11Those are the only two things you're going to see when you first walk in there.

01:15You're going to decide what the f*** am I doing?

01:17Am I going to be game for it?

01:19Or I'm going to be like, I've got to figure out how to get out of this.

01:22Did you see Luke Rockhold?

01:24I saw Luke Rockhold's interview, and he goes,

01:27I'm not getting my teeth knocked out for this.

01:30So like you said, that's the classic.

01:31He was not game for it.

01:34Classic right there.

01:35Listen, some people are bred and game for it.

01:37You look like, you know, Eddie Alvarez.

01:39I got the same with him when he was bred for Chad Mendes.

01:43You look at freaking Mike Perry.

01:45He's, you know, the spokesperson.

01:47He's the front man for the sport.

01:49This is his sport.

01:50This is his go-to because he doesn't care because he's game for whatever is going to come.

01:54He's going to take the pain and give it.

01:56So, you know, you got guys like that, and you got other guys, you know,

01:59unfortunately, like Rockhold or people like him that come in,

02:02they're like, yeah, this is not for me.

02:03And they find out the hard way when the fight starts.

02:06And they find out the hard way when the fight starts.
