Announcer: Anderson's coming out fast and furious.
And he's landed a blow to the forehead of reiss Gibbons.
He's opened up a cut!
Announcer: That cut looks deep.
Announcer: It sure does, Jimmy.
Will the cinderella story of reiss Gibbons continue?
Can he defend his legends light heavyweight title
for a fifth straight time?
Or will Anderson dash his hopes?
Announcer: Reiss pushes Anderson to the center of the cage.
Anderson is so quick and so smooth with his kicks.
Come on, reiss.
Announcer: These two men are putting on one hell of a fight.
This has been one of the most exciting title fights
in legends history.
Max black has to be pleased with the way her champion
is performing tonight.
Everybody is on hand to see this fight.
Announcer: It's always an event when he steps into the cage.
Come on!
Finish him!
Announcer: Anderson is so quick to firing up those kicks, Bobby.
Announcer: They're really starting to
open up the cut above reiss's eye.
He's knocked him down!
Announcer: Anderson's right back up.
Reiss is relentless.
He stalks Anderson.
He's raining down elbows!
He's got him up against the cage.
Announcer: Wait a minute.
Showtime kick!
Announcer: Reiss counters with a right hand!
What a fight!
Announcer: Reiss knocked him out!
He knocked him out!
Announcer: Beautiful right hand.
Incredible!
Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at the
number one fighter on the planet...
The five-time legends light heavyweight
champion of the world.
Reporter: Reiss, that's five title defenses in a row now.
How are you feeling?
I feel amazing, lad.
Unstoppable.
Reporter: Anderson opened up that cut
in the beginning of the round.
How bad did he hurt you?
You know, he definitely left his Mark.
Thank you, Stephanie.
Reporter: What's next for the five-time champ?
Uh, I'm gonna be a dad.
Have you got any tips?
We want to stay in the reiss Gibbons business.
Five-time champ has a real nice ring to it.
Ok, it's "alien" meets "prison break"
set in a space jail.
Who would I be playing?
Man: The most dangerous cop on earth wrongly accused
and sent to space jail.
It's a bit cliche, isn't it?
We want to continue protecting those pearly whites of yours.
That's molded perfectly to your mouth.
How's that feel?
What'd he say?
It feels great.
Check this out...
Your own shoe.
There aren't very many athletes with their very own shoe.
"Baby swap."
You're a dangerous cop who swaps bodies with an infant.
"Hard and wet."
It's "fast and furious” on a cruise ship.
The speed is low, but the stakes are crazy high.
You into this?
Try the gun.
You're going to have the best smile in show biz.
Hey, babe.
She's done it again.
I told you, you've got to put the nappy on straight.
She's got a tiny bladder, baby.
I think she's doing it on purpose.
Of course she's not.
Are you?
Every time I pick her up, she pisses on me.
I thought footwork was your thing, big guy.
Well, I'm not quick enough for this one.
Silly lump.
That's Marcus.
Where's daddy going?
Is daddy going to go to work?
Love you.
Bye.
Say bye to daddy.
- Bye. - Bye.
Hm?
Nice one.
Offense, reiss.
All right.
Line up, everyone.
Come on, line up.
All right, before everyone goes home...
Reiss, come up here.
Been together a long time.
You drive me crazy, but I'm very proud of you.
Love you, man.
I love you too, Marcus.
All right.
Let's welcome back
the five-time light heavyweight world champion, reiss Gibbons.
At 10:00 am with Stevenson's manager.
Yep. I need to make him understand why has
to be his first title defense.
He's really stubborn, Max.
Oh, man, he doesn't know stubborn.
At 12:00 you need to be in Birmingham
to meet with Anderson to renew his contract.
Good, good.
Then you fly straight out to Vegas
to sit down with the nightmare who's just become a free agent.
He hasn't become a free agent; He's become the free agent.
The guy's a monster. I gotta sign him.
Oh, boy.
So how we looking here?
20,000 capacity.
Yeah?
You think we could fill it?
With a solid headliner, we can.
Speaking of which.
- Give me a second. - Yep.
There he is!
- How you doing, man? - I'm good, Max. How you doing?
- Nice to see you. - Good to see you.
- Looking good. - Thank you. You too.
How reiss doing?
Yeah, he's great. In phenomenal shape as always.
Of course.
So I got a proposition for you boys.
Go on.
All right. So now you defended the title five times.
Now, reiss has basically cleaned out the division.
I think the fans deserve something really special
for the sixth title defense.
What have you got in mind? What are you thinking?
Randy stone.
Who?
Randy stone, man.
Oh, come on.
He's the current pro wrestling champ.
Max, that's fake fighting, isn't it?
It's an opportunity for us to tap in to their audience.
So reiss can do what, jump off tables and smash people
over the head with chairs?
No, so he can fight in the legends cage.
Max, look, reiss went through
a murderer's row to become champ,
- and you know that. - Yeah.
And now you want to offer a title shot to this
random wrestler who's never even set foot in a cage before.
How does that work?
What's reiss got to lose?
His dignity, his pride, his self-respect, his fans.
This guy, what, does he wear tights for a living?
Come on.
Reggie, think about this.
We do this fight,
all of Randy stone's fans tune into it.
Reiss beats the fucking shit out of him,
and whammo, all of a sudden stone's fans are reiss's fans.
Ta-da!
Come on. Think about Conor McGregor, right?
When he fought Mayweather, do you know how much money
that guy is making in endorsements?
Oh, yeah.
They are... millions are coming out of that guy's ass,
and he didn't even win!
Huh?
I mean, come on. Look at that.
Reiss, reiss, reiss...
He would freak out all these people, right?
He would love it.
I'll see. I'll let you know, Max. Yeah?
- All right. - I will do my research.
Be smart.
Take it easy, Max. All right, I'll give you a call.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking managers.
How'd that go?
Yeah, great. Let's go.
Nobody in this sport seems to have any guts anymore.
Nobody in this organization seems to have any guts anymore.
I love this guy. He's funny, man.
Want a drink?
Yeah, I need one after seeing this shit.
You haven't seen danger yet.
They want to call me dangerous, you haven't seen nothing yet.
They want to call me violent...
You're trying...
You're trying to tell me I have to fight this guy?
Yeah!
Buffalo bad boy, trust me when I tell you...
This guy is amazing.
What? How is he amazing?
He's amazing.
He's amazing. He'll make you look great as well.
Look.
He's bare-chested, he's committed.
This is going to be a hard pass.
I'm not fighting him.
Well, I'll have to hard sell it to you, then.
Are you scared oh his pecs?
- Definitely? - Is that what this is?
- Because he's topless? - Petrified.
You can be topless, too. I've seen it.
Look at it as more of an exhibition match.
His fans are gonna tune in.
He's got these crazy wrestling fans who love
watching people get hit over the head with a steel chair.
He's not going to have a steel chair.
He's gonna have no weapons. He's gonna have to fight you.
And this so-called tough guy is going get knocked out
easily, emphatic fashion.
I want a highlight reel knockout.
Can you give me that?
I want someone like..
Three-fight win streak.
Yeah, look...
Look how entertaining this guy is.
Right? Bare chest?
He's entertaining as a comedian.
Looks like he just stepped out of some
sort of an '80s tribute band. Look.
When I get that son of a bitch inside a steel cage
and I get my fingernails underneath his eyelids
and I pull on its flesh...
Come on, you gotta give this guy a shot.
Give this guy a shot.
He should be a comedian. I'm not going to lie.
- He is making me laugh. - He is a comedian.
Look, he's got a massive fan base
in the rest of the world, yeah?
They're going to come over.
They're going to give us those pay-per-view numbers, man.
Ok?
Boss lady asked for this, yeah?
It's what Max wants.
Yeah, so when you knock him out, like I said,
in devastating fashion,
you can have whatever you want after that.
Anything he says.
You deserve this.
Ooh!
You deserve it.
- All right. - Think about it, yeah?
- Easy money? - Easy money.
Easy money, man. Easy money.
- All right. - Can we toast to this?
- We can toast to this. - To you.
- To knocking out bigger guys. - Give me the contract.
I'll give you the contract.
And let's clean out this clown. Easy money.
Stephen: This episode of "the MMA show"
is brought to you by Lex.
Lex, providing capital to fuel growth in energy,
tech, and real estate.
And right now we're joined in studio by none other than
Max black, promoter of legends.
And apparently you have a pretty big announcement
for our listeners today, huh?
That's right, Stephen.
We are putting together
the biggest fight in the history of legends.
- All right, you ready for this? - Mm-hmm.
- You sure? - Yeah.
All right, here we go.
Reiss Gibbons, five-time light heavyweight champion,
will be fighting Randy stone.
From pro wrestling?
That's right.
Max, come on. I mean, no offense to pro wrestling,
but you're not talking about a real fight here, are you?
I mean, you're talking MMA you're talking pro wrestling...
Apples, oranges.
Stephen, come on, man.
Use your imagination.
You put four-ounce gloves on anyone,
and in MMA, anything could happen.
That's why people love it.
That's what's so beautiful about it.
You can't possibly look me in the eyes right now
and tell me that you believe
that Randy stone has any chance, has a chance in hell,
of beating reiss Gibbons.
He's got a shot.
How is it that this guy just walks in
from pro wrestling into MMA
and off the bat he gets a title shot?
It's unheard of. It's absurd.
The purists are going to go crazy here.
Honestly, I saw this guy train.
I mean, he's knocking out his sparring partners
left and right.
And did I mention, Danny thicket is training him right now.
He's a legend, of course.
Legendary trainer.
And he wouldn't be wasting his time on anyone
unless he believed in him.
Randy stone is also huge.
Big guy.
The guy is as strong as an ox.
Max, Max, are you just trying to take a turd here,
Polish it up, and call it a diamond?
Or... come on.
I'm telling you,
I think this is going to be a really exciting fight.
There you have it.
So one month from today.
Yep.
- Reiss Gibbons. - Yep.
- Randy stone. - Yep.
For the light heavyweight championship.
- Uh-huh. - And that's me.
It's going to be a fight
you're never going to forget about.
I know, but you see what I'm doing right now?
- You're tapping out. - I'm tapping out.
I'm tapping out on "the MMA show" for today.
That's all I got.
I can't believe it, man.
Believe it.
Oh.
Man.
Beautiful thing, man.
You did it.
That's you up there,
your face, for everyone to see.
Everyone?
Kids will see that.
They look up to you anyway because you're tall.
- Most people anyway. - Most people.
But now they really see it, man.
Walking past this, remember?
I remember, man.
As a kid I broke down billboard.
- With the paper hanging up? - With the paper hanging up.
- Now look at us, man. - Yeah, man.
It's beautiful.
Yeah, man.
Man, are you crying?
Huh?
There might be a slight tear, bro.
It might be a bit of glazin'.
Oh, come here.
It's ok, it's ok.
See,.
Announcer: The legends cage is reserved
for the very best fighters on the planet.
And reiss Gibbons is the best of the best.
The five-time champion has faced all challenges
and cleared out his division.
Now, with all his endorsement deals and new movie deals,
reiss Gibbons is on top of the world.
But it wasn't always like this for reiss.
Reiss comes from humble beginnings.
He is the oldest of three children,
and his parents, Amanda and Dante,
passed away when he was just 15 years old.
Reiss was left to fend for himself.
Reiss: When my parents passed away,
it was really tough. I felt lost, and...
You know, until I met Marcus.
He kind of took me under his wing.
And, you know, he showed me how to throw my first punch.
I didn't know how to express myself,
and he showed me how to put that
and turn it around and make it positive, you know.
That's all right. Let him work.
Let him work there. Let him work.
Nice. Nice.
Yeah, Marcus has taught me, as a man and a fighter,
to be humble in victory or defeat,
to look after your own.
And that's exactly why my family is so important.
That's exactly why is so important to me,
because I gotta look after my people, you know.
Do you know, people recognizing you on the street,
it's a bit weird at the start.
But you kind of get used to it.
And again, I don't want to turn them down.
I want to show them that I do care.
If they want a picture, it takes two seconds out of my day.
Who am I to say no to that?
I love coming back and coming to the gyms
and seeing their little faces beam when I walk in.
Yeah, I do think I can inspire them, for sure.
You know, seeing someone from their own area coming up,
having a rough childhood, losing people that they love,
you know, and I still am on the right track.
I would love to inspire all of them.
If I didn't have fighting to fall back on, who knows?
I would have been either in a cell or in a box,
six foot deep.
That's how most people I know have ended up.
So it's not, it's no joke.
It's serious.
Announcer: But his sixth title defense
presents a new challenge...
Wrestling champion Randy stone.
Randy is one of the best wrestlers
the world has ever seen.
And he's gonna shake up the world of mixed martial arts.
I am on a pilgrimage to scorch the earth of aew
one broken leg at a time,
until I am the last man standing.
Well, hands down, Randy stone
is the most powerful fighter that I've ever worked with.
He's one of the strongest human beings I've ever seen.
I don't think he's ever been hit by a guy like me.
It's going to be like getting hit by a truck.
He thinks that's some kind of joke.
It ain't going to be funny.
Well, he knocks out all his training partners.
So I've been having a hard time
keeping people in the ring with him.
He's so intense and he's so powerful that
he's been knocking them out clean.
It's actually getting to be a bit of a problem.
Announcer: Randy's the most divisive figure
to ever step foot in the legends cage,
splitting the world of MMA and professional wrestling
right down the middle.
I've been in the ring with Randy stone.
And I know this is the MMA world.
And I am sure Gibbons thinks
he's going to have a night off because
wrestling is fake, right?
But you can't fake toughness.
And you can't fake strength.
And Randy stone has both of those.
I think both Gibbons and the MMA world
are going to be in for a shock.
He truly is hardcore.
He is extreme.
And everyone's talking about this match.
When reiss hits Randy stone
and he realizes he can't hurt Randy stone,
the life and soul will get totally
sucked out of reiss Gibbons.
I'm picking Randy all the way.
Randy, as an opponent, he's a clown.
It's a joke. That's why I keep laughing.
How can I keep a straight face when we talk about this guy?
I feel like I'm going to walk through him
like I walk through my Sunday dinners at home.
I want to stick a fork in him because he's done.
We've seen this all before.
He's funny.
People want to come over just for...
Especially from more an acting sort of background,
fake wrestling.
This is real life.
This is real sport.
And I think you have more chance of seeing
Elvis Presley crash a ufo on top of the loch ness monster
than him winning.
Randy stone coming in to fight reiss Gibbons.
What do I think?
Not much.
I don't think it's going to have anything to offer.
I think reiss puts him away in the first round.
I find it incredibly disrespectful when
so-called experts
talk about how pro wrestlers aren't real athletes.
I'm telling you, Randy stone is going to this guy up.
Randy stone is not going to beat reiss Gibbons.
Reiss Gibbons is going to beat him the first round
by knockout or submission.
I know Randy stone quite well, actually.
And he wouldn't be doing anything
that he doesn't think he can win.
And I know the performance side is one thing,
but there's a lot of overlap in the training.
And I think people are going to be surprised.
And watching Randy train,
he's got some heavy hands, man.
He's got some real pop in those hands.
I think he's going to surprise a lot of critics.
He's going to shut a lot of mouths,
people that doubt professional wrestlers in MMA fights.
Announcer: All eyes will be on this fight.
And one thing is for sure.
The world of professional wrestling and the world of MMA
will collide.
And we're joined by Randy stone.
Randy, thanks for taking the time to talk with us today.
Oh, you're welcome.
Now, many pro wrestlers have attempted to cross over
into MMA and do what you're about to do right now
and haven't quite found the...
To put it politely, the success they were hoping for.
What makes you any different?
I don't think about it.
I didn't come here to talk about some other losers.
I didn't come here to talk about somebody else's failures.
I didn't come here to talk about the past.
I came here to talk about the future,
and the future is, I'm gonna knock
reiss Gibbons' head off of his shoulders.
These are bricks.
These are mack trucks.
I'm gonna knock him out.
I've been telling everybody for weeks.
I'm telling the whole world.
I'm gonna knock him out. And you all think it's a joke.
You're talking to me...
I'm here on this bush league level show.
Randy, we can appreciate that you have your game face on
and you're in the zone, but
we're the biggest MMA show in the world, so...
Everybody thinks this is going to be some big embarrassment.
Everybody thinks I'm going to go out there
and get my pants pulled down and show the crack of my ass
in front of the whole world, like I'm gonna...
I'm gonna be the one that's embarrassed.
There's a lot of gum chewing going on there as well.
You know, people do that when they're nervous.
There's a reason I'm the biggest superstar in the world.
There's a reason he needs me to sell a pay-per-view.
That's the irony.
Well, you're not lacking confidence.
But let me ask you, this is your first pro MMA fight,
your first training camp.
And how's that going for you?
It's going, dude.
I'm in the best shape of my life.
I'm stronger than him.
I'm bigger than him.
I'm faster than him.
I'm tougher than him.
I'm smarter than him.
I'm better looking than him.
Randy: I have no respect for him.
But you have to realize that the pundits, the experts,
have reiss as a 10-to-1 favorite
to retain his title against you.
And if you're keeping score,
those are the worst odds for any challenger
competing inside of a legends cage.
- How are you feeling...? - Odds makers,
betting lines,
people playing games.
No, this ain't... This ain't a game, dude.
This is absurd. Where's he going?
This isn't scripted like the other place you came from.
Come on.
I don't know what he was expecting here.
I mean, we ask the tough questions
on "the Stephen Drake show."
We're going to take a little break.
We're going to pay the bills.
We're going to come back, and we're going to talk
to the nightmare, the hottest free agent in MMA.
He should be here in a minute anyway.
Oh, there he is.
Look, he brought his cheerleaders.
He's a lot bigger in person.
He ain't that big.
Should we go say hello?
Sure, come on.
Yo, Randy, I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm reiss.
I'm not going to shake your fucking hand.
What?
After all that shit you talked?
Man, that's just promotion.
I thought you of all people would understand that.
Yeah.
You don't know shit about promotion.
You don't think I belong in a cage with you?
I don't.
But let's keep it professional.
I'm going to make you a lot of money.
Oh, no, no, no.
Let's get this straight.
I don't need you.
You need me.
I'm going to make you a lot of money.
You should show some respect.
Save it for the fight.
All right. Welcome, everyone.
Welcome to "legends: Worlds collide."
Man, we are so excited about this fight.
When my father died and I took over legends,
many of you people in this very room...
I know who you are, I don't forget...
Thought I was going to run legends into the ground.
And now here we are,
on the cusp of the biggest fight in our history.
And we are trending at this moment,
looking around, over 2 million buys on pay-per-view.
So definitely at the right place.
All right. So why don't we
open it up to questions, let these guys talk.
Randy, what's your mental state right now?
Are you excited?
Are you feeling confident?
Brother, there ain't a word
for what my mental state is right now.
Confidence is not the word.
Complete self-assurance.
Like I know the sun's going to come up tomorrow morning,
I know I'm going to take this man's head off.
I'm feeling homicidal.
Reiss is feeling suicidal.
I'm going to kill this man.
Man, you've got to stop acting, Randy.
You know that, right? This is real.
When we step in there... When we step in there,
I ain't gonna throw you through no table,
jump off a turnbuckle, huh?
- Yeah, it's gonna be real. - This is real. Yeah, it's real.
- It's going to be real. - It's real.
You laugh. You think it's a joke.
You're all laughing.
You and your stupid little blog, you think I'm a joke.
Nobody listens to your stupid fucking podcast, by the way.
Everybody thinks this is some kind
of Max black big publicity stunt,
put Randy stone in a cage, real big joke.
It's not going to be funny when they're pulling
reiss's teeth out of the back of his ass
when I knock his head off.
All right, all right.
How about we have another question?
Reiss, reiss!
Reporter: Hey, reiss...
Have you looked at any of the wrestling greats
for, you know, a new gimmick?
Someone like roddy Piper or macho man Randy savage.
Hey, fuck you over there, all right?
This isn't a joke.
I'm going to beat this man within an inch of his life.
I'm going to walk away with that championship belt.
I'm the toughest man in the world.
I'm the biggest name in combat sports.
Let's see. Let's see when you're standing in front of
20,000 strong londoners, yeah? Let's see.
You're going to be quaking in your little leather boots, man.
You're going to get lobotomized.
You're not going to be able to form sentences
after I knock you out.
I just hope you'll be able
to get your dick hard after the fight.
All right, all right, guys, hey?
If not, honey, you know where to find me.
I'll be in the biggest suite in London.
I won't even make you sleep on the couch.
Ok, ok, ok, ok.
Announcer: And here we are at last,
the fight the world has been waiting for.
Reiss Gibbons versus Randy stone, worlds collide.
Announcer: These guys have been
trash talking each other for weeks.
That's real bad blood between these two fighters.
Announcer: The live gig sold out within an hour.
If we look at the tale of the tape,
the big thing that jumps out are their records.
Reiss Gibbons, undefeated with a perfect record of 19 and 0,
versus Randy stone's 0 and 0.
Announcer: This is Randy stone's first ever professional fight.
This has gotten big fight bill written all over it.
You are absolutely right, Jimmy.
Look right here.
Me.
Come on. Me.
Yeah, looking good, huh?
How are you? How's it going?
Good, good, good.
Yeah, you feel good?
I feel good I'm gonna whoop this clown's ass, man.
Yeah? You ready to kill him?
Yeah, ready to kill him.
Just do me a favor.
Try not to make it too quick so I can
squeeze in a couple of spots.
Il try, I'll try.
But I know, easy money for me, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just take it easy.
Have a good time. You need anything?
Bottle of champagne for my win.
All right, afterward it'll be waiting for you.
Dom perignon, yeah?
All right. You got it, man.
- All right. - All right. Have a good time.
2,3.
Announcer: The Internet has literally been exploding
in the build-up to this fight.
I don't think I've ever seen this level of hostility.
Announcer: Absolutely, Bobby.
And there are so many question marks surrounding stone.
While Randy is known as a wrestler,
a little known fact is that he actually
started out boxing as a teenager
when he was growing up in Cincinnati.
He has described those years as some of the most rewarding,
and that is the itch that got him into the cage.
You got this.
Ok, gentlemen.
We already went over the rules in the locker room.
Any questions from the challenger?
Any questions from the champion?
Ok, you can touch gloves if you want.
Announcer: And there's the theatrics from pro wrestling.
Announcer: I guess Randy stone doesn't touch hands.
Fight.
Announcer: Randy stone comes out with a flying knee.
He's not wasting any time in there.
Announcer: Randy's throwing hooks with bad intentions,
but he's lacking a lot of finesse in his technique.
He's really sloppy in there.
Announcer: He's just hurling his punches.
Announcer: I would like to see reiss
keep his hands up, though.
Get in there, Randy.
Take this serious. Come on. Keep your hands up.
Quit showboating. Let's go.
Announcer: He really does look like an amateur in there
with a professional.
Reiss is so smooth with his striking,
so technical,
whereas Randy telegraphs his punches.
Announcer: This looks like it's going to get ugly
real quick for Randy stone.
At least he's starting to do some real damage
against the cage.
He's turning it up.
Announcer: Yes, he is, Bobby.
Reiss is picking him apart,
and he's just landed a spinning back kick.
Reiss tosses Randy stone to the ground like a rag doll.
Announcer: Well, Randy rushes in like a bull.
He presses reiss up against the cage.
Announcer: Reiss is just so hard to take down, though.
He's grabbing the fence.
Announcer: Randy's grabbing the fence.
There's no five second rule like in pro wrestling.
Off the cage.
Circle out.
Announcer: Randy's doing a really good job
of applying pressure.
I'm surprised reiss hasn't managed to escape by now.
Announcer: And Randy stone has landed a takedown.
That is only the second time in reiss's career
he has been taken down.
Announcer: I'm stunned, Bobby.
Taking down reiss Gibbons is no small feat.
Announcer: This is signature Danny thicket,
working up against the cage, dirty boxing,
making it a dogfight.
And Randy's landed a second takedown.
Announcer: I'm really surprised at how much reiss is struggling
with Randy's size and power.
Referee: Back it. Back up.
Announcer: Well, this is what Danny thicket
has been talking about.
There's one thing you can't fake, and that's strength.
And Randy's just hit a slight judo throw.
- Work your way up! - Come on, Randy!
Get out of there.
Announcer: Reiss is back up,
and he's just landed a nice elbow,
opening up a cut in Randy stone's head.
Announcer: Randy has another takedown.
That's the fourth of this fight.
I can't believe it.
And now he's reiss.
He's launching haymakers.
Announcer: Randy is clearly demonstrating
his strength advantage.
Reiss is really struggling.
Man: Nice. Nice work. Go to work.
Let's work.
Announcer: Reiss is on shaky legs out there.
He really looks unsure of himself.
Come on, reiss.
Keep your hands up.
Announcer: Reiss lands a nice jab.
Combinations, just like we practiced.
Announcer: Another.
Reiss looks like he's getting back into his groove.
He's creating some distance.
He's got to keep stone away from him, though.
He needs to keep those hands up.
Announcer: Randy lands a hook.
Man: Finish him.
Yeah!
Announcer: Reiss is out!
Announcer: Oh, my god. I can't believe it.
Reiss is knocked out. He is out.
That's one of the most dynamic punches
I've ever seen in this cage.
Oh, my god.
He's wrestling down the referee right now.
Reiss doesn't even know where he is.
Tj Steele is talking to reiss, and reiss is still coming to.
It's over.
You're knocked out.
Announcer: What started out as a joke
has turned into a travesty for reiss Gibbons and his team.
Announcer: This is the most shocking night
in the history of legends,
I don't think a single person in this arena saw this coming.
I told you all!
Announcer: And look at him...
Shouting to the crowd.
The antics... he's loving it.
Randy stone is loving it.
Welcome to the Randy stone era.
Announcer: Wow!
Ladies and gentlemen, winning the fight
in the first round by knockout,
and new light heavyweight legends champion of the world,
Randy stone!
I told you!
I told all you.
You thought I was a joke.
Who's the joke now?
Reiss Gibbons is a joke.
I'm the champion of the world now.
Who's laughing now?
Laugh it up!
We're gonna party in London tonight, you motherfuckers.
It's 3:00 in the morning.
I've been turned into a meme.
"When your mom says quit crying
before she gives you something to cry about."
"When you lose your mom in the grocery store."
People suck.
Come back to bed.
I'm good, baby.
Reiss, thanks for coming on the show tonight.
How are you feeling?
Well, losing is no fun.
Yeah, I can imagine.
The doctors, what do they say?
What kind of time frame are you looking at here?
When are you getting back in the cage?
Well, I wasn't knocked out, so anytime.
You... you kind of were, reiss.
I took no damage.
I can get back in there as soon as possible.
Look, I respect you.
The whole MMA community respects you.
But there were some questions about your cage etiquette.
They're saying you didn't take this fight seriously,
and you didn't take Randy stone seriously.
And you paid for it.
Take it easy, Steve, all right?
Look, if I was showboating and I got the knockout,
no one would be talking, right?
But I was having fun in there, I got clipped, that's that.
Lucky shot.
Is this the biggest upset in the history of MMA?
Well, that's for you to decide, Steve, all right?
Well, do you get the immediate rematch?
Do you want the immediate rematch?
Well, yeah. You know,
I've held the belt longer than anyone, you know.
But... that's after this tiny little movie
from Jake Thorn.
Reiss, are you...
Are you not on social media?
Yeah, I just turned my phone off.
I'm not trying to pile on here.
One of your castmates tweeted out about a half hour ago...
And I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news here,
but apparently you've been replaced.
They recast the role.
What?
It's on Twitter.
You should turn your phone on.
Prostitutes we can pay off, yeah?
Women claiming that you've got kids
through them that you're not paying for,
we can pay them off, too.
But you get busted for steroids,
injecting needles into your left butt cheek five times...
And you tell me it's an accident.
Is it an accident?
What was you doing?
Was you in Vegas again with the snow bunnies?
Yeah? Sniffing cocaine off their fake tits
and playing darts with them,
and the darts happened to contain steroids?
And then you happened to land on them accidentally five times?
- You're right. - Picograms, man.
It's a real thing.
It's a real thing, and it happens. Yeah?
Now, what you're going to do,
you're going to go home and see your family.
By the way, your wife's been calling me
every single morning, yeah?
Why doesn't she call you?
Do you know why she can't call you?
Cause your phone's always off. Why is it always off?
You got a 10-bedroom mansion back there.
You can afford a charger.
So what you're gonna do, you're gonna go home,
and you're gonna get a phone call from me, yeah?
And when you get that phone call,
it's going to be me talking about the press conference.
Yeah? Stephen Drake. He's going to get the exclusive.
You're gonna talk about your life.
You're gonna talk about the fact that
fighting is the only thing that's kept you sane, all right?
And that's going to secure things.
You're gonna have to deal with a two-year suspension.
When you come back, you're gonna come back stronger than ever.
Yeah, look at me... Stronger than ever.
You're going to be the champion.
Have another kid in the meantime, yeah?
And don't drive home yourself, yeah? Get a cab.
We don't need you running over any pregnant women again, yeah?
That was a difficult situation to solve, wasn't it, yeah?
All right. Wicked. Come on.
You got this, yeah?
Stay out of trouble till then, yeah?
Thank you, Carlos. And Carlos,
please don't end up in Dubai again, yeah?
All right.
Magic man.
I deserve this.
Yo, I'm cut from Jake Thorn's movie.
I just found out.
How does Stephen fucking Drake find out before I do?
And you're supposed to be the first to know.
Reiss, I was going to call you as soon as.
So what happened?
That role was about you being
the strongest soldier in the whole world.
It just doesn't work if you're not the champ.
That was only my first loss.
I know. I know, reiss.
It's not the fact that you lost.
It's the way you lost.
The crying thing, the wrestling the ref to the canvas.
The media just got hold of it.
And you know better than anyone.
You're only as good as your last fight.
People have got a real short-term memory these days.
Then get me the rematch.
- It's too soon. - We need to run it back.
Get me the rematch, Reggie.
- Are you sure? - Get me the rematch now.
Woman: Laila Ali has a plus one.
Yeah, definitely. Front row. Great.
Idris alba wants 10.
10710 comps?
Guy's lucky he's so hot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
- Front row? - That's great.
Peter Andre?
No. No, no, no.
Hard no.
Hey, Max.
Max: Reggie! - You got a minute?
Of course. For you, I got a minute and a half.
Lovely. Max: Yeah.
You look great, too. Look at you.
- Hi, Fred. - What's poppin', reg?
Not bad. Not bad. All good.
Right. You're in a good mood.
Yeah, are you kidding me?
I got sponsors coming out of my ears, my eyes, my ass.
It's great.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Hey, team effort, man.
So we getting that rematch?
Yeah, of course you are.
We can't wait to agree to that bout.
Now, reiss is ready to sign asap.
He wants to redeem himself and prove to the world
that it was just a fluke.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
I mean, he'll get it.
You know.
But?
The truth is this.
Stone had a hard time making the cut at 205.
So he's moving up to heavyweight,
and he's going to challenge Ferguson.
Right? I mean, the whole champ-champ thing...
You know, you can't blame him.
Everyone wants to do that right now.
But I want reiss to fight nightmare.
- Nightmare? - Yeah. We just signed him.
But Max, we want Randy stone.
Yeah, but I'm not offering you stone.
Max, we've always stepped out for you, right?
Mm-hmm.
Reggie: You've needed us to fight on three weeks' notice.
We've done it.
Two weeks' notice. We've done it.
Max: Yep. - Up in weight, we've done it.
You guys are the best.
Reggie: Down in weight, we've done it.
- Yep. - Right?
Reiss has always been a company man.
Max: Yep.
Held on to the strap for nearly five years.
Max: Yes. - He deserves a rematch.
Reggie, you and I both know the money fight
is stone-Ferguson.
The money fight... but,
this is about the right fight, though, Max.
Right fight? What is this, Mr. Rogers' playhouse?
Grow the fuck up.
Ok.
So what if we lose?
Wow.
You got that much faith in him, huh?
Max, it's not about faith.
I'm being realistic.
Look, nightmare is a dangerous fight.
If we lose that fight, that's two losses in a row.
You know that.
It's a bad fight for us.
Look, if Randy stone is too heavy for the division,
then strip him.
I'm not gonna strip him.
Create an interim title, then.
I'm not going to do that.
Max, who's running this fucking company, you know?
You or Randy stone?
Where are your fucking balls at?
I've done a pretty good job without balls,
- wouldn't you say, Reggie? - 1 don't know.
I think that the Max black I know
would have told him to go fuck himself.
Yeah. Well, you're lucky
the Max black is in a good mood today,
or else I might tell you to go fuck yourself.
Listen, man, we go way back, right?
I know you're just trying to do your job.
Well, give me a fucking break.
That's what I'm trying to do here.
I'm just trying to do my job.
And the truth is,
the stone-Ferguson thing is set already.
So basically, you got two choices.
If you believe reiss could win,
you have him fight nightmare.
What's the second choice, then?
Reiss sit on the shelf.
All right, Max. Thank you.
Max: All right? - Yeah.
We cool? Reggie: We're good.
All right, man. All right, man.
Take it easy. Fred, see ya later.
Max: Give reiss my love. - I'll give you a call.
Yeah.
- Who else we got? - Ok.
Drake.
Are you kidding me?
Which side?
Whoever's side we're going to put him on,
they're going to hate us.
Pivot couple of Ryans.
- Are they coming? - Yeah, both Ryans.
Well, fucking put Ryan in the front row.
Ok, Ryans.
Put Ryan gosling near me.
Yeah, I'm on it.
No fucking way. No way.
Marcus, it's the only fight Max is willing to offer.
Yo, Reggie, tell him.
It's true, Marcus.
Then you wait.
It could be a whole year.
Then he spends some time with this kid.
Stone and Ferguson fight, we start talking trash,
we get our rematch.
I'm not waiting a year.
We're not taking the nightmare fight.
Why not?
He's less popular.
He's more dangerous.
Quite frankly, it's a bad match for you.
If I was the champ, I'd have to fight him anyway.
So what's the difference?
If you're champ,
the juice is worth the squeeze.
Yeah, we're talking back end points on pay-per-view,
bigger show money, and more PR, reiss.
You know, I'm not afraid of him.
He's hungry.
- He's dangerous. - Oh, yeah.
His last fight, he broke a guy's orbital.
He's retired now.
Reiss, can't you see what Max is trying to do?
She's trying to use you to build her young fighter.
You deserve better than that.
She's throwing you to the wolves.
I'm a wolf.
You're not listening.
We're not taking the fight. That's final.
Yeah, I had a feeling you'd say that.
I'm going to la.
I'm going to do this camp with Tony gunn.
La?
Reiss, you don't need to go to la.
- Are you serious? - Reiss!
Announcer: Makes me a little nervous.
Hard leg kick again.
Oh, that's a knockout.
That's it.
A hard, hard punch!
Singer: Every day just the same, wake up, train, feel the pain.
Lift that weight up off the block
'cause I'm never going to stop.
I'm physically intimidatin'...
Looking for my next opponent.
Now it's time to push up on it.
Let that shit roll on the mat.
Double leg up on your back.
No problem making weight...
Fourteen more.
Sorry. I must have carried some extra weight...
Come on, that's no excuse.
You're a professional.
Let's go. Come on.
Singer: I'm dropping bombs when I take off
when I rock up in your city.
Fight dirty, flight clean, yo, I'm making gritty.
Come on. Back on the bike.
Singer: I hit that fool hard and finish like.
I'm dropping bombs when I take off,
when I rock up in your city.
Fight dirty, fight clean, yo, I'm making gritty.
Step up in your business.
I step up to that plate.
I hit that fool hard...
Tony: Come on, let's go. A few more.
Woman: Tony.
Tony: I'm not calling it. Woman: We're calling it.
No.
Reiss, it's not worth it.
We're not calling it, Ellie.
Come on. Let's get going.
Singer: I'm like a big snake, a little too strong.
Like a python in an octagon.
I'm gonna hunt you out because there ain't no quit.
My face unmarked 'cause I don't get hit.
Try and take me down, I'll pop right up.
I'll run for you like a dumping truck.
I lift, I roll, I Bob, I weave.
I do it all to protect my dream.
I'm gonna take that title, defend it too.
That's eight straight wins.
That's how we do.
I hear the crowd. I like that sound.
Now I'm the top dog, pound for pound.
Take me down.
My skills be quick.
You think you're special?
I'll make you quit.
That give me a taste.
Where's Dana white?
Put the belt around my waist, yo.
I'm dropping bombs in octagons when I rock up in your city...
Got anything left in you?
Got these last two?
Tony, he's finished.
Let him answer.
Reiss.
My body won't sweat anymore.
I'm done, Tony.
You do realize you'll be giving up 20% of your purse.
Yeah.
Fine.
My fee stays the same.
Singer: We train that shit together, fool.
You know I finish fights.
I'm dropping bombs.
What's up?
I'm not used to sharing a locker room.
That's what you get when you're not the champ.
A roomful of dicks and ass.
Looking good out there, Corey.
All right, next time, man.
Dude.
Mcl?
Doc said eight weeks.
I'd give it 10, just to be safe.
- Definitely, Max. - Owie. That sucks.
Oh, man, you fought your ass off.
Those judges were bullshit.
We'll run it back.
All right?
Good fighting. A little something for you.
Hey, Tony. How you doing?
Good to see you, Max.
Sorry about the weight.
What happened?
It's just a really tough cut. I'm sorry.
Do we need to move you to heavy?
Hell, no.
Those guys are monsters.
Big boys.
All right. Well, this can't happen again, reiss.
I know.
Marcus, what are you doing here?
I got him a fight in the prelims.
Oh, no way. That's amazing.
Yeah. First pro fight.
How'd you get on?
Won by split decision.
Man, that adrenaline dump.
Yeah, you'll get used to it, man.
I'm proud of you.
Marcus.
Tony.
Do your thing, brother.
Congrats.
That's Marcus, huh?
Yeah.
Pretty serious with those chops he's got.
Announcer: Reiss is getting absolutely pummeled.
Nightmare is just hammering him against the cage.
Reiss, you gotta go. Come on.
Announcer: Reiss opted to fly out to la
and do this camp with Tony gunn,
one of the rising stars in the world of coaching.
Tony is not looking pleased right now.
Hey, who's the joke now?
Announcer: Randy stone is in attendance tonight.
Randy of course has his big pay-per-view
heavyweight title fight coming up with Ferguson.
You're running around this cage like a clown.
Oh, shut up, man.
Announcer: Changing your camp is going to throw off...
Hey, use your distance.
Calm down.
Breathe.
Announcer: Right now, before taking on nightmare,
the scariest human being in legends promotion.
Get the fuck out of there, reiss.
What are you doing?
Announcer: Reiss missed weight for this fight,
the first time in his career he's missed weight.
Nightmare, of course, was kind enough
to make this fight a catchweight.
Announcer: I wouldn't call that kind, Bobby.
Look at the size of him in there.
He's huge.
Announcer: Reiss is on the mat.
He's trying to get nightmare to do jujitsu.
Come on.
Reiss, no one's here for that shit.
What are you doing?
Boo! Announcer: It's shocking.
He's not even doing anything. Come on!
Let's go.
Announcer: Nightmare is actually taunting reiss.
And the referee has stepped in and is standing reiss up.
They're forcing the fight back to the stand-up.
The crowd is clearly unhappy with this display.
Reiss, come on. Out of the corner.
Out of the corner, man.
Announcer: Reiss really looks like
he doesn't want to be in there right now.
He's even moving stiff.
It just looks like something's not right with him.
Announcer: And nightmare's throwing his hands up...
We came here to fight!
Announcer: He's shouting to the crowd.
He's making of reiss right now.
Get in there!
- Let's go. - Hey, who's the joke now?
Announcer: Randy stone is up, out of his seat,
and shouting at him.
The crowd is screaming for reiss Gibbons to engage.
Tony: Come on, get your head in the game.
Look at him. He's embarrassing you.
Get in there!
Come on!
Come on, reiss!
Reiss, come on!
Announcer: Reiss fires..
Nightmare follows up with a vast counter.
This is starting to get embarrassing.
Hey, reiss, would you fight?
Look at your boy!
Announcer: Knockout!
I'm here with the former
light heavyweight legends champion, reiss Gibbons.
I hate asking questions right after a knockout, reiss.
But again, how are you feeling right now?
I've been around a long time.
And, you know, I've fought the best of the best.
I think it's the last time
you're going to see me in the cage.
Interviewer: What, are you saying
you're ready to retire right now?
I never started this sport to be average.
I wanted to be the best, and I no longer am the best.
So I want to say thank you to my coach for this camp, Tony gunn.
Where's my coach?
Interviewer: It's been an honor to announce
your flights all these years, reiss.
Sorry to see you go out like this.
We wish you nothing but the best.
Reiss Gibbons, ladies and gentlemen.
Where the fuck did you go?
I'm not sticking around for that shit.
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
It's nice to be the last fucking person in the entire arena
who knows you're retiring.
A waste of my fucking time.
And what the fuck were you doing out there?
Everything we worked on, everything we trained...
You did nothing.
Nothing.
Where the fuck were you?
I'm out of here.
Good luck to you.
Ellie: You're a million miles away.
I don't think I got anymore, Ellie.
What happens next?
Whatever we want.
We could get that farm we've always dreamed of, hm?
I could get a horse.
What the hell are we going to do with a horse?
I've always wanted a horse.
Reiss, what's up, bro?
I know you always get mad when I do this, Roy,
but I want to pull some of my money out.
Reiss,
when was the last time
you took a look at your finances?
I don't know.
I don't deal with that side of things.
You're in the red.
That can't be right.
I'm afraid it is.
What about the account I put aside for when I get old?
You kept dipping into it.
That Swiss account?
Take a look.
Reiss: You were supposed to take care of me.
I'm not your dad, bruv.
I'm here to advise you.
Then where was the advice?
You had one job, one fucking job, Reggie.
Take care of my money. Where is that now?
Reiss, you don't listen.
Look, can you sit down?
Reiss, sit down, bruv.
Now, listen.
Your outgoings were too high.
Sponsorship deals, they're finned.
Pay-per-view back end, that went out the window
when you lost the belt.
Bruy, flying your whole family to la
for that extravagant purchase, first class,
for this nightmare training camp you didn't even need.
Look, eventually the money is going to run out
when it's no longer coming in. It's that simple.
And the poor investments you made...
The cbd oil, the high-tech start-up companies.
Bruy, they all went bust within a year.
And I told you not to do that.
I'm never going back to that life, Reggie.
I know.
Ellie is going to freak out.
What do I do?
You gotta tell her the truth.
She's going to find out.
This is definitely authentic?
Can't get that label anywhere else.
How come you're selling them?
Are you ok to do a bank transfer?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Well, thank you.
Hey, reiss Gibbons!
Nice to meet you, man.
Big fan. Big fan.
Big fan, man.
Nice, man.
My nephew, you're his favorite fighter.
His name's Kyle.
What's your name, bro?
- Jerome, man. - Jerome.
I'm Darryl, man. I'm Darryl.
Yeah, the fight with Anderson was his favorite, yeah?
Yo!
Say something to the camera, man.
Yo, stay in school, man.
Be good, ok?
Yeah, yeah.
Yo, man. I appreciate it, man.
, man.
You mean the world to us, man.
Five-time champ, man.
Five times!
Pleasure.
Yes!
Reiss.
Go back to sleep, baby.
Reiss, get dressed.
Bruy, it's 6:30 in the morning.
Yeah, I know.
And Ferguson's out of the Randy stone fight.
What?
I know.
Look, reiss, this is our chance.
You can get a rematch.
I'm retired.
Retirement?
Reiss, stop talking nonsense.
Look, I've been calling Max all morning.
What did she say?
Well, she hasn't returned my calls yet,
but that's "cause she needs convincing.
The fight's in a few weeks.
Reiss, you've taken a fight on a week's notice before.
Come on. Get your head in the game.
My head's not in it, man.
Oh, reiss. Come on. Look, this is yours.
This is your opportunity.
I can't.
What do you mean you can't? What's...
Reiss, this isn't you, man.
Talk to me.
I'm sorry, Reggie.
- See yourself out. - Reiss, stop. Stop.
Look, this isn't you, yeah?
Alpha, man. Look, stop all the weakness.
We'll sit down, we'll have a coffee,
and we'll talk about it, yeah?
Reggie, see yourself out.
Are you sure this is what you want to do?
Yes.
Why are you turning this down?
Ellie.
Why are you turning this down?
I don't want to fight anymore.
Why?
I'm afraid.
Good.
Finally you got that out of the way.
I have poured everything I've got into this, into us.
I've sacrificed everything.
Do you know why?
Because I believe in you, reiss.
Singer: Luck has taken over.
Lost along the way.
A legend of late.
I can't believe you have the nerve to follow me here.
- Look, Max... - No.
You haven't even heard my question yet.
I don't need to hear your question, Reggie.
The answer is no.
Listen, Max, that's our fight.
Oh, man.
You know, you got a lot of balls, right?
First you lose the first two, and then you officially retire?
Fuck you.
Look... listen, Max.
It's a mistake, ok?
It's nightmare's fight. Sorry. I'm announcing it right now.
Max, just listen. Max.
- No. - It's a mistake.
You know what? Reggie,
you're really bugging the shit out of me right now.
- Just give me one minute. - No.
- Just I'll explain... - No.
Do you want me to call security?
- You wouldn't do that. - Yeah, I will.
We've got 100 missed calls.
I could arrest you for stalking.
Well, if you returned my calls, you wouldn't have
so many calls in the first place.
Listen, I gave reiss every fucking chance there was.
It broke my heart when he lost that fight.
I love the guy.
But at a certain point, you gotta draw the line, ok?
It's just business, Reggie.
Max. Max, please!
Sorry.
- Are you fucking crazy? - I'm sorry.
- But just hear me out, Max. - Ok.
Ok, listen.
You got 30 fucking seconds.
Thank you. Look, Max. Look, you said it yourself.
You love an underdog story, right?
Well, this is the biggest underdog story
in the history of legends,
the first time they fought, reiss was the king,
and he went through a murderer's row to get there,
went through so much hell and back.
And you've been there. You've seen it.
You know this, right?
This time, the rolls are completely reversed, right?
He's the one who's got to go through the trenches
and he's got to dig deep
and he's got to win this time, right?
The odds are stacked against him,
and there's only one fighter on that roster
that can sell out that arena within three weeks time
that you've got left.
And that's reiss, right? And Max,
just like you, I'm just trying to do my job,
just like you are, right?
That's all we can do, right?
So what do you say?
Your 30 seconds are up.
Hey, man. How you doing?
- Nice to see you, too. - Pleasure, as always.
Max: Hey, thanks for having me on.
Stephen: Yeah. Thanks for making the time.
Max: Sure.
Stephen: So, Max, it's always interesting to say the least
when you come in the studio.
Tell me, what's the latest with Ferguson.
He's injured.
He's out of the fight. What's going on?
Yeah, well, it's a drag.
It's too bad, but the mri results came back.
And, I mean, Ferguson's...
He's out.
He's out of the fight completely, huh?
Yeah, there's no way. I mean,
it's going to be at least nine months
till he could fight again.
He dropped this bombshell.
Your main event is now off.
Yeah.
What does this mean for the rest of the card?
Well, I mean, come on.
You know this business.
The show must go on, right?
Right, right. So you have
an opponent in mind for Randy stone, then?
Max: Uh, yeah.
Yes. Yes.
Yes.
Yes, I do.
In just three weeks' time, Randy stone will be fighting...
Stephen: Come on. Come on.
Randy stone is going to be fighting reiss Gibbons.
Stephen: Are you fucking shitting me?
I just cost myself advertising revenue. Shit.
Woo! Stephen: Fuck.
I need to stop talking here.
That's big fucking news.
First, you drop that reiss
is coming out of retirement, moving to heavyweight,
and now I'm speechless.
Max: Your spee... Well, that is a first.
What are you doing here, Hollywood?
Yeah, I deserve that.
I've been offered the Randy stone rematch.
Yeah, I heard.
Everyone's counting me out against him.
Everyone.
What do you think?
Now you care what I think?
I think you shouldn't have taken the nightmare fight.
I know.
I hated watching that fight.
You broke my heart, reiss.
I know I did, Marcus.
But I need to know.
Do you think I can take him?
You cut one corner,
pull one Hollywood bullshit move,
I'll kick your ass myself.
You understand that?
You can beat him on the ground.
He hasn't been tested there.
You need to take him into deep waters.
If you want to win this fight, reiss,
you need to make it a technical fight.
Randy: I'm feeling good about myself.
I'm feeling good about this charitable thing I'm doing,
giving this broke son of a bitch
another chance at glory.
Reiss: You can talk about your being charitable,
but that's just talk.
That's all you have for this fight.
I can grapple, I can strike, I can take you to the ground.
I'll beat you at everything, all right?
I'll beat you on the ground.
I'll beat you on the feet.
I'll beat you in wrestling.
I'll beat you in jujitsu.
I'll beat you in chess, checkers,
a fucking spelling bee.
I'm better than you, reiss.
Reiss: No more flukes.
No more jokes.
I'm stepping in there serious.
I'm ready to throw down.
I'm going to bring that whole toolbox,
and I'm gonna use it on you.
Come fight night, I'm going to show you, man, the real reiss.
You know, I know what I did wrong last time.
This time I'm gonna go in there,
and I'm gonna make sure I execute my game plan.
I'm gonna finish it, man.
Technically I knocked your dick in the dirt.
Technically I'm the champion now.
I'm the baddest man in the world now.
This will be the ugliest fight of your life.
He's stronger than you.
He's meaner than you.
But you have a bigger heart.
You're a martial artist.
Remember the Mitchell fight?
Yeah. You knocked him out.
Yeah, eventually.
First time we fought it didn't go so well.
I underestimated him, overlooked him,
kind of similar to what you did.
Not quite as bad.
Hell, came back,.
Took it serious.
Like you do this time.
You're better than him, been doing it longer.
Got more heart.
Show all that out there,
and he can't beat you.
So... you got it, man.
You got this.
Announcer: And here we go,
the rematch we've all been waiting for.
Randy stone, reiss Gibbons 2.
Only a short time ago, reiss shockingly announced
his retirement after that devastating loss to nightmare.
But here he is with another opportunity
to climb the mountain again and redeem himself.
Announcer: Everybody is counting reiss Gibbons out.
He's coming into this fight as the clear underdog.
Do you think he can do it?
We'll soon find out, Bobby.
Man: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Reiss!
Bouncing back from a knockout is so tough.
Can reiss overcome the mental demons he had to endure
when he got knocked out by Randy stone?
This was his first ever knockout.
He had movie deals.
He had sneaker deals.
He had his own mouth guard.
And in one night, one punch, one man took it all away...
Randy stone.
Announcer: I can't imagine
what it feels like to be reiss Gibbons right now
as Randy makes his walk.
Reiss's heart must be beating out of his chest.
And of course, despite being a heavyweight,
Randy stone doesn't have to worry about making 205.
He can come in at his natural weight...
Stronger, meaner, and more ferocious.
Announcer: What reiss has gone through in the past year
is a roller coaster ride.
And the big question,
can he battle back and reclaim his spot?
We're moments away.
Let's take it to our emcee.
Emcee: Ladies and gentlemen,
it is now time for our main event.
The moment you've all been waiting for,
live from London, england!
And brought to you by Lex.
Are you ready for a new legend?
This fight is scheduled for five five-minute rounds
for the vacant heavyweight legends champion of the world.
Introducing first, he hails from London, england,
weighing in at 217 pounds, reiss Gibbons.
His opponent comes to us via Cincinnati, Ohio.
Weighing in at 235 pounds, the reigning,
the defending light heavyweight legends
champion of the world, Randy stone.
Announcer: Here we go. No more waiting.
I cannot believe the moment has finally arrived.
The bad blood, the trash talk,
the tension so thick you can cut it with a knife...
Ok, gentlemen.
We went over the rules in the locker room.
Any questions from the challenger?
Champion, any questions?
Touch gloves if you want.
Back to your corners.
Come on!
Come on, reiss!
Announcer: We are ready for war.
Fight.
Announcer: And reiss Springs at him
and immediately presses Randy stone against the cage.
Announcer: He's a man on a mission.
What, are you gonna hump my leg all night?
Announcer: Reiss is wasting no time in there.
We just don't know if we'll see the champion from the past.
Reiss is firing off some great punches.
Announcer: Reiss is really moving well.
He's displaying great head movement.
He's looking really confident.
Announcer: And reiss lands a vicious takedown.
There you go.
Announcer: Randy is so strong.
He gets up right away.
That's it, reiss. Come on!
Announcer: Reiss is showing
a much improved arsenal of strikes.
But Randy counters with a great Superman punch,
- forcing reiss to back up. - Get off the cage!
Announcer: And Randy tosses reiss to the ground.
He's just so powerful.
Announcer: Randy's raining down punches.
Reiss is throwing up one submission attempt after
- another, but to no avail. - Reiss, come on!
Announcer: Randy shrugs them off like they were nothing.
Announcer: Signature Danny thicket.
, and make them pay.
Announcer: Well, that's the way it's looking right now.
It may not be an issue if he has to conserve himself.
Come on. Cover up.
Reiss!
Announcer: Reiss looks hurt.
Randy looks like he may have torn something
when he opened up reiss's guard.
Announcer: Randy just won't stop.
He smells blood, and he's going after him, Bobby.
Come on. Get off the berm.
Don't stay down there.
No mercy.
Announcer: And Randy stone is the last guy
you want on top of you when you're not fighting well.
It looks like something went really wrong when reiss tried
to lock in that.
We worked on this.
Announcer: Randy has such vicious knees and elbows.
Marcus: Come on, reiss. Get off of there.
You gotta get off there.
Announcer: And reiss just looks completely manhandled.
Reiss tries to escape.
Randy locks him into a guillotine choke.
It looks tight.
Announcer: It looks really tight.
Hold on.
Announcer: This might end the first round.
And he's reaching for a different position.
He transitions to a bulldog choke.
I don't think he can do anything.
20 seconds left. Come on.
Announcer: Randy is pressing down on the back of his neck.
That's 235 pounds on the back of reiss's neck.
With the right amount of pressure,
- he could snap his neck. - Don't tap. Don't you tap.
Announcer: Reiss is holding on for dear life.
I don't know how he's not unconscious right now.
Tj Steele is peering in.
It looks like he's trying to end this fight.
Announcer: Reiss is in a lot of trouble.
He does not look like he's gonna get out of this.
Announcer: Tj Steele might end this fight right now.
Reiss is about to go unconscious.
Announcer: I can't believe he's still holding on.
Announcer: And saved by the horn.
I can't believe he survived that round.
Look at him.
Reiss is clearly shaken by that.
He's not even sure what corner to go to.
Announcer: He doesn't even know where he's at.
He is completely out of it.
Announcer: And look at the way he's walking.
Something is clearly wrong with reiss' leg.
Randy is basically mocking him.
Take a deep breath.
Deep breaths, buddy.
Talk to me.
What's going on?
I've torn my groin.
Can you fight? Should we stop it?
No, don't fucking stop it.
All right.
Get ready to go in there
and start thinking about how you're gonna beat this guy.
See him go to the wrong corner?
He went to the wrong fucking corner.
The guy has lost. The guy has already lost.
You keep those take-downs clean.
Use your weight.
John, you got anything for him?
Those strikes, they're nice and clean.
Keep working those combinations like we worked on.
Finish this round right,
we'll be drinking margaritas in an hour.
Deep breath. Deep breath. Calm down.
Come on. You've done this a long...
You've done this a long time.
You can do this.
Announcer: Here we go. Round two.
Reiss is limping off the stool.
Announcer: You can just see by the look on his face
that he's in agony.
He's trying his best not to show it, but reiss is in pain.
And stone knows it.
Stone is a natural finisher, and I guarantee you,
he's going to look to end this fight in this round.
Announcer: Reiss has just opened a cut over Randy's eye.
Announcer: There is no quit in reiss Gibbons.
Pain or no pain, he's here to fight.
Come on. Move.
Reiss, come on. Move.
Announcer: And Randy lifts reiss up
as if he was a bag of feathers.
Look at the power of Randy!
He's beating him into submission.
Announcer: This is that famous mean streak
that he was known for in the world of wrestling.
Get out of this, reiss. Reiss, get out of it.
Get off the cage! Get off the cage!
Announcer: He's throwing elbows.
He's throwing punches and knees.
And Randy has just headbutted reiss.
Oh, that is so disappointed.
Announcer: It looks like he just got
a little too overzealous in there with all the
adrenaline and excitement..
Announcer: He will definitely get a point deducted for that.
Announcer: As he should, Jimmy.
Announcer: And the doctor has come in to inspect reiss's eye.
It does not look good.
You can see I'm fighting.
- Straight ahead. Reiss: I'm fighting.
I can fight. Ok.
I don't know if you can continue.
I can.
- I don't know... - I can.
Your left eye is nearly completely shut.
I can see.
This is not looking good.
Ok, how many fingers?
Reiss: Three.
- Yeah, see, you hesitated. Reiss: No, I'm fine.
Please, please. Please, I can continue.
- I really don't know. Reiss: Please.
Please.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm ok.
Don't stop it. I can fight.
Ref.
Reiss: Please, I'm begging you.
Let me continue.
I can.
Ok.
Announcer: Well, they're letting him fight.
Announcer: This is a little surprising.
I know reiss has a huge heart,
but I've never seen an eye that badly swollen.
Surely his vision is going to be impaired right now.
Announcer: Reiss looks out of breath.
I'm sure he'll struggle to see.
I'm assuming the doctors and the ref
will be keeping a close eye on him
as he goes to continue into the round.
Come on, bitch.
You motherfucker.
Cover! Cover up!
Announcer: And Randy comes out with heavy hands.
He wants to end this fight.
Announcer: Reiss is sitting there
like a punching bag right now.
Announcer: Reiss is holding on for dear life.
Come on.
Announcer: He's got him against the cage,
and he's hitting him over and over.
I have never seen one man take such a beating.
Announcer: Randy is just so mean with his strikes.
Announcer: And the horn.
What a fight, Jimmy.
What a fight.
I need a finish. His groin is ripped.
His eye is blind.
Take him down. Finish him. Count him out.
It's time to send this guy home.
I'm gonna take his head off.
I'm still not free of him.
We're gonna have to stop it, bro.
No.
No, don't stop it, man.
I can't put you out there blind.
You got nothing left to prove.
Please.
- Yeah? - All right.
All right.
He's the one in the middle, all right?
Announcer: Third round.
And this is shaping up to be the fight of the century,
easily the most exciting fight
to have ever taken place in the legends cage
with two of its biggest stars,
reiss Gibbons and Randy stone.
Announcer: I can guarantee you this.
No matter how this fight goes,
these two men will never be the same.
Show me something, reiss.
Come on. You gotta move, reiss.
Get out of there.
Announcer: Look at the blood on both their faces.
Announcer: Randy is taunting reiss in there,
bouncing around, using feints.
He knows that reiss's vision is bound to be affected.
Man: You got this, reiss. Send him home.
Announcer: Reiss is just flailing, throwing his arms up
with little success, just grabbing air.
Announcer: This is just getting messy.
Reiss looks like he's out on his feet.
It's clear he can't see in there.
They need to stop this fight.
If you don't show me something,
I gotta throw in the towel.
Announcer: Amazing how reiss is still hanging on.
Announcer: It looks like reiss is trying to draw him in.
Announcer: Reiss has just locked in a guillotine choke.
Announcer: It looks tight, Bobby.
Get him, reiss.
Announcer: Randy's trying to get out, but it's really tight.
Come on, Randy.
Let's go. Let's go. Work the head.
Announcer: Danny thicket is shouting instructions.
He's trying to get out, but reiss is locking him in.
Announcer: This is the first time we have ever
seen Randy stone in trouble.
And Randy lifts reiss up and above his head.
Just look at the power!
Announcer: What Randy stone needs to do is put reiss down
and then roll out in order to get out of this position.
There you go, reiss.
Announcer: Randy rolls out.
But reiss transitions to a rear naked choke.
That's it. He's got it locked in.
Announcer: And reiss is squeezing for dear life.
Come on!
You gotta tap!
Squeeze harder.
Some room!
Make some room, Randy. Come on.
- You can do this! - Go, go, go, go, go, go!
Don't tap out, Randy.
Announcer: Reiss is squeezing, and Randy stone
is really struggling to fight the hands.
Announcer: He's going...
He's out. He's out.
Announcer: I can't believe it!
Yes!
Announcer: What you have just seen is greatness,
and his name is reiss Gibbons.
Reiss has come back to win the heavyweight title!
- Unbelievable, Bobby! - Of legends!
Announcer: I can't believe it!
Announcer: It's never been done before.
That is the most amazing fight in the history of legends,
probably in the history of mixed martial arts.
Coming back from the depths of despair,
from two devastating losses in a row,
coming back from retirement,
coming back from the lowest point in his career
to rise up and claim
the most prestigious prize in our sport
against arguably the toughest man on this planet.
It's a fairy tale, Jimmy.
I cannot believe what I've just seen.
You did it!
I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of you, brother.
Announcer: Congratulations, reiss Gibbons.
It's been a pleasure and an honor to call your fight.
Ladies and gentlemen, our referee tj Steele
has stopped this fight in the third round,
declaring the winner by rear naked choke, your winner
and new heavyweight legends champion of the world,
the one, the only, reiss Gibbons!
I thought you were going to give up.
Not this time.
You're a tough son of a bitch after all.
You owe me a rematch and a drink.
I made your ass famous.
All right.
Let's do it.
Make it two drinks.
Three drinks.
All right.
Marcus, that's a hell of a fighter you built.
No quit in that boy.
- Congratulations. - Thank you, man.
Your boy is good.
Thank you.
We have work to do.
Thank you. The biggest... The biggest event ever.
I mean, the live gate was ridiculous.
Over 30,000 people.
We had to turn people away.
Pay-per-view is out of this...
I mean, it's off the charts. It's off the charts.
I mean, this was the most exciting fight
I've ever seen in my life.
The fans were going crazy.
I mean, it didn't look so good for reiss for a while,
but, I mean, you gotta hand it to him.
He's a champ.
That guy is a champ, coming back.
Oh, the eye is going to be fine.
I mean, yeah, it's bad.
Did you see the fight?
The fight was insane.
But you know, reiss...
I have to say, reiss bounces back like
nobody you've ever seen in this business.
I mean, he'll probably end up getting,
you know, eye patch sponsors from this thing.
That's all we know.
Don't worry about reiss.
He's a six-time champ now, right?
I mean, he's our guy.
We started legends with him.
I'm so proud of him.
I was nervous.
I'll be honest, I was nervous for a little bit.
It wasn't looking good.
But, you know, reiss has got so much heart.
And he's a beautiful spirit.
He's the sort of fighter... He loves to fight,
but of all a sudden, you know, he could
turn around and go become a professor or something.
I don't know. He could do something else.
I mean, the one who's off the chart is Randy.
I mean, that guy...
I mean, that guy is in an animal, right?
I mean, he could do no wrong.
You have no idea the sponsors this guy is getting.
I mean, we're talking book deals.
We're talking restaurant deals.
We're talking speaking engagements.
I mean, he's now the star...
We just found out tonight.
Am I allowed to say?
All right. I'm allowed to say this.
He's gonna be the new ax man, right?
From the guys who brought you the "chainsaw" trilogy,
he's the new ax man coming out.
Amazing.
He's opening up... he just got this gig today.
I mean, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if this guy loses.
He's now going to be the spokesman
of the cult of raw aggression.
I don't know if you've heard about it.
It's this big... you know, big motivational speaker.
And now we're going to tie it... legends,
you know, I think before when he was a pro wrestler,
he had that restaurant, meat, when he was a huge meat eater,
and it was raw meat, any kind of meat.
But now I don't know.
He's got this new whole thing going on.
He's gone vegan, and that's where
he says a lot of his stuff's coming...
So now raw is featuring, like, vegan sausages
and anything raw.
And he gets his power.
So we're going to tie that in... the raw aggression
into the raw restaurants, the legends thing.
We're packaging it.
You can get it in the stores.
You can get it anywhere.
It's pretty awesome.
And what it specializes in beets...
Like, beet juice, so you could eat it,
and it looks like blood.
And Randy sells the shit out of it.
Oh, man. He's got everything... Diapers, diaper sponsors.
You know, you can never be too strong.
People love this guy.
It doesn't matter if he wins or loses.
He's an animal. They love him.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, of all people, Randy...
I mean, listen.
He just got this huge book deal also.
It's going to be a big thing.
It's those motivational things.
He's really big on that chain,
but he's wrestling with your inner aggro.
He talks, and people write it down.
He's got pictures.
I mean, he's a lot different.
He's kind of a sensitive guy, really.
I mean, you would never believe it,
but I think the whole raw thing has shifted him.
Singer: And you stand outside the frame, outside the frame.
They say this life is a perfect storm.
So just keep cool, always keep it calm.
Singer: Yeah.
It's your boy...
Yeah.
I been working so hard, trying to find my place,
trying to spread my wings, waiting for my day.
I pray to god every day for the strength I crave.
Then it's back to the grind in the lab like the docks.
And the struggle's still going, so the hustle won't stop.
Let's go.
Back then, he was just a shorty, pocket full of dreams,
and the...
