Cyborg with the baseball skull crunch from MVP. It wasn't my eyes, it was the crack we all heard in the arena. i'll never forget it.

Honestly, I love Mercedes. She's as smart as she is hot. Honerable mention - Amy Jane (officialAmyJane on IG).

I honestly cant answer that, Im working one or the other (yes, I know who, Im working the fight and make the assignments), and it would be inappropriate and maybe even fuck with my license. BUT, in order to answer this question, after this fight, I will answer this question, and on my bottle of Jack I will be honest as to whether I was right or not.

Which fights are you NOT working?
I'll work the Mcgeary/Nemkov and Nelson/Mitrione fights for sure on the main card.

The rest will depend on wrap request from the fighters, not only for me, but for everyone. The wrap requests almost always take precedence over cage work for a cutman in MMA.

Most vicious ko you’ve witnessed live and thought, “oh no, that’s close to getting killed”

Do you fly first class?
Sometimes, but based on status upgrades. My contract with Bellator allows for a coach seat. Any upgrades are because of my own status with an airline, not because bellator bought it for me.

But on the real, I fly so much I almost always get upgraded. AA EXP ALL DAY!!!!

Cyborg/MVP comes to mind obviously. I would also say Petruzelli/KingMo, that was deceptively vicious. Seth was out for a LONG time after that. And I love Seth, I was in his corner for that one, it was hard to see.

what do you think of this technique to combat swelling? (from Tyson's corner vs. Buster Douglas)

Its always been quietly accepted as a cutman fail and often used as an example when trying to explain why good cutmen you trust are important to new and upcoming fighters

Locker rooms are usually fairly separated and any real bad blood is thought of ahead of time as far as arrivals and placement etc....

I would say that weigh ins are the hardest to deal with this because theres no way to realistically stop them from being toe to toe in that moment.
