Rotate, perfect, come up and then right there, yes.
>> And if I don't have this.
>> Yeah, right here.
[MUSIC]
We are here today because I'm gonna help the Liv train.
She asked me, she was very polite about it, asked me if I could help her, and
I was like, of course, bro, I can help you.
And I'm gonna help her get ready for a title match against Shayna Baszler.
She's got a very extensive mixed martial arts background and
I think I can help out a little bit with that.
[MUSIC]
>> What's up bro?
>> What's up Liv, so how's the arm?
>> It's seem okay, it's not 100% yet but I've been working on it, but
that's kinda why I need your help.
>> Why you're here?.
>> Yeah.
>> I've been in training in combat sports for probably as long as I can remember.
I basically did every form of combat sports from jujitsu, pankration,
Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing, you name it, I've done it.
So when you're here, you wanna reach out with this hand and grab this arm and
pull it straight.
Knowing you with your background, I'd probably go for some impact.
So right here, grab like a baseball bat and
you get to pick it up and then swing back.
>> Got it. >> Be careful, be careful.
>> Sorry. [LAUGH]
>> Right there, and
that'll break my grip here.
>> Okay.
>> Boom, all right?
>> Yeah. >> So let's give it a try, I'm up here,
pull the hand.
Liv, she's super sweet, super nice.
She's always got a smile on, kinda like me.
I like how you're wearing your glasses the whole time.
>> Should I take them off?
[LAUGH] >> Yes, maybe.
If you can lock it like this, you'll be good.
>> Okay.
>> You're stronger than you think.
>> Yeah, now yeah, I see it.
>> Right? >> Yeah.
>> Now, lock it, hands like this.
>> Yeah, okay.
>> Yeah, I'll go- >> No, no, okay.
>> Your hands are still good?
>> They're good, they're good.
>> There it is, all right.
[LAUGH] >> [LAUGH]
[MUSIC]
>> It's like a chess match three moves ahead.
>> So always think three moves ahead,
you know Shayna is gonna probably be at least two moves ahead.
>> Yeah. >> So you need at least three,
four moves ahead.
>> I'm so grateful to Riddle that he spent some time in here with me today.
He's pretty much just teaching me to defend my title against anything that
Shayna can kind of throw at me.
>> I've known Baszler for
a long time we've crossed paths throughout the mixed martial arts world.
Shayna has definitely got a lot of submissions up her sleeve.
She picks apart body parts and that's kind of my specialty.
I know how to take people down, and control them on the ground, and
protect yourself.
So I think I can help Liv out a lot and give Shayna a hard time probably.
This is what Shane is probably gonna do,
she's pretty talented in the parts of submissions.
She's probably have leg hooks in.
>> Okay. >> And
she's gonna wrap this arm around and go here.
If you can't get to this arm behind your head, remove my feet from here.
Beautiful, and then you get a roll backwards.
Right there, any means making me kick out.
Set you up for your own.
Careful to touch.
>> The feeling that I got when I won this, the feeling that I get when I wear this.
It's exactly what I thought, it's better than what dreams are made of.
I live for that feeling.
But I guess I didn't realize the magnitude of what
people are willing to do to take this from me.
>> Shayna Baszler, my goodness.
>> [NOISE] >> I feel like she's gonna do anything to
kind of lock my arm, so just anything that you think of that could help.
>> I think of to should probably go over some arm bar defenses.
>> Okay. >> I know that's not her finish,
her strong suit, but she will probably attack it knowing you got it injured wing.
>> Yeah. >> All I'm gonna do is take my legs,
split them up to >> Okay.
>> All right, and this is the fun part starts,
I'm gonna switch my arms, break here.
Once I do that, I grabbed the back of your head.
>> Whoa, got it. >> Now, the hard punches.
>> Knee to the spine, hands come through.
>> Yeah, >> Got it.
>> One thing about control is if somebody has control of you,
you kinda have control of them.
And that's kind of my funny philosophy of picking away.
So if I grab your wrist, you're like, you have my wrist.
You gotta have mine, if you pull your own post here, you have me too.
>> Yeah. >> So we're in the same boat,
so you use this against me.
Liv's big advantage going in this match against Shayna is her heart,
her perseverance, she's been told no and she can't how many times and
look at where she is now.
And Shayna is just another person trying to say no, you can't, you won't.
And I guarantee you, after this, we work together,
Liv's getting a breeze through Shayna, and it's gonna just be an afterthought, bro.
>> I've been dreaming about being a champion for
27 years, so I'm fully ready and willing to do the work.
I mean, here I am on my day with Riddle and
he's teaching me to defend myself against whatever Shayna wants to throw at me.
After today, I feel so much better, I feel like it was just what I needed to
give me that extra nudge going into my title match.
I feel like she's gonna have no idea that I have a few tricks up my sleeve [SOUND]
>> Good job Liv.
>> Thank you.
>> Awesome, and hey, I don't want to cut this short but
I ended up teaching another class, so I'll see you in Cardiff.
