Uh, Kyle is one of my mentors like you, Dave, and so I have a lot of respect for him. Uh, I think I’ll probably I feel pretty confident, but uh, yeah, I’m excited to do it. Good. Do you have a plan for him? You know how he pulls. I do. Yeah. So, I’ll probably uh I’ll probably do a low hand low hand top roll. Um if he seems like too much in the cup, I’ll try to meet him in a hook and I think both of those lanes I’ll feel good. Okay. Yeah, you’re looking pretty strong. I think Kyle’s got his hands full today. I think so. All right. Well, good luck. Okay. Thanks, David. All right, guys. Match is one. Let’s go [Music] towards Kyle. Kyle right there. Yep. Ready to go. Nice job. You want to go straight in the traps or try? Do you want Do you want to strap? [Music] High or low? Low, please. Get that out of the way, please. Or take it off. Or just take it off. Switch your wrist. There you go. That’ll work. again. Right there’s fine. No. No. He wrapped me first. You got to wrap Kyle first. It’s whoever has the buckle. My opinion. No, it doesn’t matter. But that’s Captain Nolan. So I would argue I’m not going to argue. That’s what I’m not I’m not going to argue. I don’t I don’t know nothing. Yeah, it is. It is. It is a weird strap to get into if you haven’t been in like padded. It’s kind of Yeah, it’s thicker than other ones have been. Yeah. Look, it’s the same. Amazing, isn’t it? [Music] All jokes aside, get your grips. Ready? Center. Center. Go. Good bite. I’ll do it again. Currently two to two. Yes. Oh, you’re all right. Yeah, it’s good. I feel like this thing needs to be higher like up here. High or low? Hello. Match is currently 22. Let’s make some noise. Come on, guys. Come on. Who was that? The ghost is talking. I’m just heard his voice. Oh, the speaker. Yeah, we’re always used to Cody’s voice. Yeah. You say my name. Yeah. You’re usually the one announcing. So, we got Yahoo over here. We don’t know. Yahoo. I’ll show you Yahoo. [Laughter] Keep it flat. Oh, keep it flat. Sorry. You’re just pulling me down, right? That was me, not him. Kyle, that’s horrible. Get him off your thumb. My fingers on the Okay. Well, the way it is there centered on Nice job, gentlemen. Some nice fights. Winner has been. We are going to take a fiveminute intermission. We have a contestant that is stuck on the freeway in an accident. Okay, I’m here with Kyle Henderson and this is after his match with Benjamin Curtis which was a real you guys really tore into each other. Uh what a what a match that was. I should say matches. Matches, right? But uh so after what what could you have done differently or what worked for you the best? Um going into the strap the first time was good but volunteering to do it the on the second or the last match. I probably shouldn’t have done that. Just how I how I pinned him in the first match. I thought it was a fluke. But he he’s great. We practiced together and we’ve never gone full contact like that and it was it was good. Like I got a lot to work on like just bicep bicep strength I don’t have and just when I’m in the losing move my arm just wants to do that like king’s move and I need to just stop right there so I don’t waste my energy and my strength because fighting in that position I just I think I lost because of that. So, these ranking matches, uh, they’re pretty good to learn from. Yes. And in fact, uh, this should help you even improve in tournaments, don’t you think? Oh, yes, for sure. preparing for this. And, uh, Benjamin is no slouch. He’s really come No, he’s full strength. He’s Yeah, he’s really come up really good. Um, so today, so is that really, do you feel you did your best today? You got the best you could do against Benjamin? I don’t think it’s the best because during a match I I can teach a lot of things to people but I can’t execute what I teach people. In other words, like climbing or using the pad. Oh, once once I’m there, my fingers are locked and my elbows stationary. I need to somehow get out of that and use more of the technique that I teach others. You know, all those all that training, all of that thinking about it and everything else, that’s all just gone. Yeah. You’re fighting for your life. Like tunnel tunnel vision. Just want to execute as as soon as possible then. But then it’s not. Yeah. Well, you know, good job today. Quite a battle. Yes. I would definitely look forward maybe a month or two rematch. There you go. Perfect. All right. Thanks, Kyle. You bet. Thank you.
