00:00Respect is there between Danny Van Heerden and Bikini Manu and when the Pit Bull and Big Mac

00:05meet on the power slap stage, that's all going out the window for three rounds or less as they chase

00:09that knockout win. Aiming to add another world championship to his family trophy case in 2024,

00:17Danny Van Heerden kicks off the year tonight when he faces off with Bikini Manu. After competing in

00:23South Africa's first slap fighting competition, Van Heerden followed his boxer brother Chris

00:29to the United States, where he starred on road to the title and route to his showdown against Manu,

00:35a former pro football player and decorated sumo wrestler who also picked up two power slap wins

00:42on season two. Coming up next, Danny Pit Bull Van Heerden takes on Bikini Big Mac Manu.

00:49Danny Van Heerden, the 37-year-old from South Africa, 17-8 in pro MMA, 2-0 in power slap,

01:07lives in the same town and used to train with UFC middleweight champion, Trikus Duplicy. And of course,

01:12you saw the wedding on Tuesday here in Las Vegas. First time that's happened on power slap,

01:18where his best man is his opponent. This is crazy. It's going to be the only time. Listen,

01:24congratulations, Mr. Van Heerden, right? Coming into this one, I'm excited because he's got a big

01:30personality. He's a very funny man, but he's a serious competitor that has done everything under

01:36the sun in terms of combat. 17-8 in mixed martial arts, was the EFC champion in South Africa,

01:43which is a breeding ground for some of the best fighters that they have in mixed martial arts in

01:47Africa. He's done wrestling, he's done boxing, K1 Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, strong man. I mean,

01:55this guy's a serious competitor. Look at that stare. He's a nasty man. He's got a smile on his face.

02:01He loves a jolt at the crack, but he's going to crack his best man with everything he's got.

02:06And he's almost 400 pounds. And the crazy thing is that when he started fighting MMA,

02:13he started at 185 and Van Heerden won the toss. He's been enjoying himself.

02:19He's only added about 200 pounds since he started. Danny Van Heerden from South Africa,

02:25married on Tuesday, hoping for a knockout tonight.

02:31Danny Van Heerden from Harbor City in Southern California. It is McKinney Manu. These fighter

02:51walkouts brought to you by 10X World. 10X your business, 10X your income, 10X your life today.

02:56Go to 10Xworld.com. McKinney Manu, ready to go to the fight. Rubbing elbows for Charles Barkley.

03:07Yeah, I do apologize. Charles Barkley had to interrupt me and tell me what a legend I am,

03:11and what an honor it was to meet me. I'm like, okay. Listen, McKinney Manu, this is a man with a big

03:19purpose. He has a son with Down syndrome, right, that he wants to just give the best life he possibly can to.

03:24His son is called Waino Hia, which means rare gift. Now, this man here, McKinney Manu,

03:30he's Samoan and Maori. Did you talk about this when I was rubbing shoulders with greats?

03:35No, I did not. Go ahead. He might do the Haka, which is the war dance from the Maoris.

03:40He might be saving it for the win, though, because he hasn't done it yet. As we said,

03:43these two very close friends, best men, you know, having a little dance, bringing the energy.

03:49Let's go. Super heavyweights getting ready to go out, and McKinney Manu, by the way,

03:53a former defensive lineman at the University of Utah, and he has massive power. He is three inches

04:00shorter and has a three-inch disadvantage in reach against Danny Van Heerden, who's a minus 260

04:07favorite. Manu calls himself the shortest and the widest of the super heavyweights, tipping the scales

04:13at 433 pounds. Here is Justin Bernard. Ladies and gentlemen, this match is three rounds in the

06:01Put your back here, please.

06:02Hoping to draw energy from his ancestors.

06:05He will be receiving first as the South African delivers.

06:08Right on three. Standby.

06:09Standby. You're good here.

06:11Set.

06:11The first slap of our first super heavyweight match of the night.

06:16Our only super heavyweight match of the night.

06:17You would not think that these two were good friends.

06:19He did a nice job. He's shaking that one off.

06:32Manu's like, come on, buddy. Is that the best you got?

06:34Is that it? Really?

06:36Good shit, Manu.

06:38Best man eating.

06:38Eat that shit.

06:40Yeah. Eat that shit, baby.

06:42Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

06:44By the way, we were talking about the strength.

06:48His football background.

06:50He can't handle you, bro.

06:50He can't fucking handle you, bro.

06:51He can't fucking handle you, bro.

06:52He can't handle you, bro.

06:53He was in several NFL camps.

06:55He benches 550 pounds.

06:58He squats 700.

07:00Does McKinney Manu.

07:01Wow.

07:03That's impressive.

07:04And by the way, all the phones are out.

07:09Everybody.

07:10Good.

07:11All right.

07:11Everybody waiting for something special to happen.

07:13Van Heerden, though, has the highest neck force on the card.

07:17Right on three.

07:17Competitor set.

07:18Translation, he can eat slaps pretty well.

07:19Competitor set.

07:20Right on three.

07:21Let's see if he can eat this one for his best man on his wedding on Tuesday.

07:27What was he, 433 pounds?

07:29Yes, he was.

07:29Manu.

07:31That's a big old boy.

07:33Right on three.

07:34That's a big old hand as well.

07:35Look at that thing.

07:36That's a meat hook.

07:37One.

07:37Gonna club him to death.

07:39Two.

07:40Oh, he did.

07:42That's a fledge.

07:42That was a flinch and a club, by the way.

07:44It's not like a flinching son of a bitch.

07:47That was egregious.

07:48So, well, it was also a club.

07:51It was a club caused by the flinch.

07:57He's like, come on, bro.

08:00You gonna bitch out like that?

08:01Well, hold on a second.

08:02Hold on a second.

08:03Yeah, we're looking right now.

08:04The angles are kind of blocked.

08:05It didn't look like that much of a flinch to me.

08:07It looked more like a club.

08:08Foul clubbing.

08:10There we go.

08:10Go ahead.

08:11Yeah, yeah.

08:12I thought it was a flinch.

08:13Sure.

08:15You know what's interesting?

08:16Come here, come here, come here.

08:17When we were talking to Van Heerden, he was talking about the fact that he didn't know

08:22which hand Manu was going to hit with.

08:24His left or his right, he said if he hits with his right, he's going to foul him.

08:29He called this.

08:31Van Heerden predicted exactly what just happened.

08:33You got time to regret it.

08:35You on it?

08:36Are you good?

08:37You good?

08:37All right, guys.

08:38Center up.

08:39Disc behind your backs, please.

08:40You got a hole.

08:43We see a lot of times with the bigger guys that the technique is not as refined as some of the other ones.

08:48Let me know when you're set.

08:49It's almost like those bigger guys don't have as much technique.

08:52You see that it takes martial arts as well.

08:54Don't come for me, heavyweights.

08:56What?

08:56All right, let's go.

08:57Two.

08:58Van Heerden.

09:03No problem, Manu.

09:05You ain't worried about that shit.

09:07You ain't worried about that shit.

09:09It's all good.

09:09Hey, you love the bleed.

09:11You love the bleed, brother.

09:13You love the bleed.

09:13A little high.

09:15Raise the eye.

09:16Not the cotton out of the ear.

09:17That was crazy.

09:19Let's go, bro.

09:20Clubbing again.

09:20Heard.

09:22So this time, clubbing on Van Heerden.

09:24There's blood coming out the nose of Manu.

09:26You know what it is, bro.

09:27Doing your thing.

09:28Warrior out there, bro.

09:30Yeah, you got plenty of time.

09:31Two minutes, bro.

09:33Two minutes.

09:33That shit ain't faze you.

09:34One point clubbing.

09:35That shit ain't faze you at all.

09:36One point clubbing.

09:37Nothing.

09:38He gonna need a baseball bat, bro.

09:39Austin Turf is like, hide that blood, dude.

09:42Let him know.

09:43Let him slide.

09:44Shut up.

09:46I don't need your hand.

09:47I'm harnessing the Maori Warriors.

09:50We're gonna get this for you, okay?

09:51I'll clean you up.

09:52Clean you up.

09:53You know what it is.

09:55Cut man coming in, cleaning Manu up a little bit.

09:5790 seconds, Manu.

09:58Plenty of time.

09:59Where is the, uh, he's starting this nose.

10:01Heard.

10:01Manu has gone 2-0, basically coming off the sofa.

10:05All good, Manu.

10:06All good.

10:07Before the reality show.

10:08Got a time out.

10:09No worries about the time.

10:09He says he's been training the last four months a lot more than he ever has for this.

10:13Yeah, look, listen.

10:13Look, listen.

10:14When you're that size of a man, 433 pounds.

10:17And there's a lot of muscle on that.

10:18That man loves to breathe.

10:19It's not all just a turn of flap.

10:21You've got a massively powerful neck and a lot of muscle tissue surrounding the shoulders

10:27and the neck.

10:28And obviously that affects the ability to be knocked out.

10:32The stronger the neck and the jaw, the harder it is to knock somebody unconscious.

10:39So even though he's clubbing him and doing damage to the soft tissue on the face,

10:43you can clearly see the blood.

10:44Manu, Manu, isn't affecting the brain at all.

10:49Taking a nice long look at the bloody nose.

10:52Let's go.

10:53He said he can.

10:54He said he can.

10:55In his checks, in his checks, typically does he pass his hearing test?

10:59Yeah, he passes.

10:59Okay, so this is abnormal, right?

11:01Yeah, this is abnormal.

11:02So we should end this about then.

11:04Uh-oh.

11:04There might be something with the hearing.

11:07They're calling it.

11:07No.

11:09Oh.

11:10They're calling it.

11:11So the blood, because of the...

11:14I think it has something here.

11:16I think it has something to do with this hearing.

11:19Yeah, sometimes if you choke the ear, it can do internal damage.

11:25So they're saying the blood coming out of the nose isn't due to damage to the nose.

11:30So the fighter can't continue because he can't hear it.

11:34I think it's as simple as he can't hear because...

11:37I can't hear anything.

11:39Stand up and hear anything.

11:40Yeah, the match is over.

11:41The match is over.

11:43I don't know if it's over.

11:43The match is over.

11:44It's all good, bro.

11:45It's your ear.

11:46It's your ear, bro.

11:47It was your ear.

11:47You stepped in too soon.

11:49You got to take your time.

11:50You got to take care of yourself.

11:51I don't know when this happened and he can't hear.

11:53But we would assume, well, I don't know.

11:57I don't know, but you could hear it.

12:00You know what I'm saying?

12:01So, but the last strike was a foul.

12:04He hasn't.

12:05I think it's a big deal.

12:09But the ear is something different.

12:10The ear is, he can no longer hear anything.

12:13All right, back in 30 seconds.

12:14But first, this message from Happy Day.

12:17It's like a fighter can continue doing an entertainment.

12:20So he can no longer hear.

12:22He can't hear anything because he's not being receptive.

12:24We don't know if that happened because of a legal strike or an illegal strike.

12:30Yes.

12:31Yes.

12:31So I think we should know.

12:32But what I'm saying is it's an injury.

12:37The club's here, not here.

12:40That's right.

12:41That's what I'm saying.

12:41We don't know when that happened.

12:44That's correct.

12:50That's pretty good.

12:51That was good.

12:52I like that.

12:52That was good.

12:53And those probably really were all the outtakes, right?

12:55No, I don't know.

12:56I think Sugar Sean O'Malley's got a future.

12:59I think he's going to be okay.

13:00In the movies.

13:02Let's take another look at that slap that ended the fight.

13:08All right, so that was high.

13:09I didn't see any kind of connection with the ear.

13:11I really didn't either.

13:15Based on all the blood coming out of his nose, you would think he couldn't smell,

13:18but he couldn't hear after that shot.

13:20So that was weird.

13:21I mean, so if he can't hear, more than likely, I'm not a doctor.

13:24I'm going to say a perforated eardrum, right, because of the pressure,

13:27because of a slap hitting the side.

13:30Mark Smith walking over to chat with us.

13:32Stand by, Bisbee.

13:36What did he say?

13:36We're getting a message.

13:37We're getting a message right now.

13:39Stage manager Jimmy is sending it over our way.

13:43So it looks like Manu will get the win for a disqualification.

13:52He can't continue because of a foul.

13:54We saw that earlier.

13:55When that happens, then you get the win by DQ.

13:59Not the way we wanted to see this end with the big fellas.

14:02No, it's not.

14:02Because when you get two gigantic men like that, as you said,

14:05everyone had the phones out.

14:06They were all expecting some viral knockout moment.

14:09All right.

14:11Justin Bernard, you're going to make it official.

14:15Ladies and gentlemen, referee Jason Herzog calls a stop to the match

14:18in round number two, declaring the winner by disqualification

14:22due to illegal strikes, McKinney, Big Bad Manu.

14:28Well, that is unfortunate because we were hoping for some fireworks with these two guys.

14:44But health and safety obviously is important as the two gentlemen walk off the stage.
