Speaker A
Now JJ, what led to this project that is really redefining mixed martial arts here in the States?
Speaker A
Well, mixed martial arts is a sport I've been incredibly passionate about. As far as where the idea for Sparta came from, I've always kind of really dug the Grand Prix format. So, I tracked these guys down. And when JJ came to us,
Speaker A
he said he wanted to create the Super Bowl of mixed martial arts. And he decided to put up the $5 million purse, too.
Speaker A
Well, there you have it. It shall be done. Hedge fund king JJ Riley going from the Lion's Den of Wall Street to the cage and promoting the biggest winner-take-all tournament in MMA history.
Speaker A
Fits still on this? No, no, no. Fits Colt Boy owns this gym. Can I help you with something? Oh.
Speaker A
How does it work here? 35 a month at locker. We're open at 7:00. Lights out at 11.
Speaker A
So, you want to join? Sure. Put your name and contact info on the card.
Speaker A
Thank you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. All right, this is less than two. Okay, hold on. So, we have a body of rest. You have the bat, which needs acceleration.
Speaker A
Acceleration. Okay. If you have enough acceleration, you might have a chance at breaking the body rest. Okay. All right.
Speaker A
You ready? Piece of cake. Everybody got the glasses on? Okay. Go. Piece of cake.
Speaker A
[Applause] [Applause] All right, now well done, Tito. Well done. Remind me not to mess with you.
Speaker A
Sit down, everybody. Dial it down. So, have we got it? Force equals mass times acceleration. We got it.
Speaker A
All right. Has everybody else got it? Yeah. Yes. Okay, good. All right. The third law.
Speaker A
Whoa. Whoa. How many laws this dude got? The dude. Yes. The dude. The dude. There's three.
Speaker A
All right. Newton the dude says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Speaker A
For example, if KC does not stop the action of sending texts in class and tell her posi outside to beat it, then my reaction might be to send it down to Principal Zto's office, thus sending the world back in proper
Speaker A
balance. Mr. Put it away. All right, before you go, I have a test from last week.
Speaker A
Work it out. Stop clowning. Pick up the hands. Light it up. Still light. See those hands. Come on.
Speaker A
See those hands. Keep your hands up. Go light. Oh. Oh, said the light. [Music] God damn it.
Speaker A
Whoops. Find these girls. We got a tournament coming up. You're going to kill every guy in the Berg.
Speaker A
Oh jeez. Benroy, give me some ice. And call that Puerto Rican kid. The one that fights out of the bottoms. If he's here in 20 minutes, he gets 200 bucks.
Speaker A
Well, I'll fight him. Do me a favor, guy. Go back to your bag. We don't need anybody else getting hurt.
Speaker A
Take a walk. Let's go. Watch his neck. Yo, Rock, what'd you do? Did you leave Mick and Paulie at home today?
Speaker A
His phone's disconnected. Go through the list. Find me somebody. Get me Joe Bones. All I'm saying is that if you need somebody to help you, I'm happy to keep your boy warm for you.
Speaker A
We fought before. Hey, this guy signed a waiver. All good. What's your name? Tommy.
Speaker A
You get tuned up in here. It's on you. Sure. No problem. No problem. Come on in.
Speaker A
[Applause] Let's go. Let's go. Watch that team. You going to be a hero? All right.
Speaker A
Oh, come on. Check that kick. Easy. [Music] There we go. [Music] Don't let him take it back. Don't let him take it back.
Speaker A
Get up. Get up. Cover her up. Cover her up. Don't get on your back.
Speaker A
[Music] Cover up. Damn it. [Music] You owe me 200 bucks. This one here, see this is the new appraisal figures as they came in.
Speaker A
Yeah. And this is how it affects the monthly turns into that. And the total value of the loan over the life of the loan is that.
Speaker A
As you can see, that's just the way it is. It puts you upside down. That's the problem. It's the county that did the assessment, not the bank. So numbers are what they are. Mr. Brandon, the numbers are what they are. Brandon,
Speaker A
I mean, you're a math teacher, right? You can appreciate that. Physics teacher. I teach physics.
Speaker A
Physics. Okay. But the bank has got to go by the new appraisal figures. And according to these figures, you're upside down on your mortgage. You understand?
Speaker A
You said that like three times. I'm sorry, but I get that. I'm asking you, is there something else you can do?
Speaker A
Not the bank. You can shift things around, restructure. You refinanced twice already because you advised us to do that. You told me. Well, I presented you with that option, but that was your choice. I'm also showing that you netted a
Speaker A
substantial payout with the repay. We had that conversation. I was paying medical bills. Right. Sorry. Your daughter's kidney heart, right? Sorry. A lot of stories.
Speaker A
So, that's my option. You I have no options. You're not even going to try and help. You're not even going to try?
Speaker A
No, I'm trying. Look, look, Brandon, I can get you 90 days to cut you.
Speaker A
90 days is not enough. My wife and I, we have three jobs between us.
Speaker A
That doesn't cut it. So, what do you suggest? Let me ask you a question. Have you thought about bankruptcy?
Speaker A
It's a viable option. There's no shame in this these days. That's not how I do things.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, then they're looking at foreclosure by Tommy, the undefeated freshman from Pittsburgh. The prodigy has yet to lose a single point in the entire tournament.
Speaker A
Tommy trained by his father since the age of five. Talking about Patty, the controversial Patty. Say what you will about the methods of the former Marine, but he's led his son to six straight Junior Olympic titles and now just
Speaker A
moments away from a high school state championship. And there it is. Wow. There's just no limit to what the future holds for this kid.
Speaker A
Tommy told me that he's chasing the record of the apparently mythical Greek fighter said to be undefeated over 1400.
Speaker A
Hey, how you doing, sir? I'm looking for Tommy Rearen. Who? Tommy Rearen. My name's Cole Boyd.
Speaker A
What business you got with Tommy? Well, none yet. That's why I'm here. I manage fighters.
Speaker A
So, Tommy's been working out at my gym and he put a beating on the number one middleweight contender in the world today.
Speaker A
So, I want to know a little bit more about the guy. Maybe help him out.
Speaker A
I have a lot of contacts. Mr. Con name is Con and anything you want to know about Tommy, you got to ask him yourself.
Speaker A
Look, I'm just asking for some general information here. Like I said, anything you want to know about Tommy, you got to ask him yourself.
Speaker A
Look, I don't mean to interrupt your night, okay? He just put this address down when he signed up at the gym.
Speaker A
Doesn't matter. Right then. Good night.
