      @El Machete No thats not what transliteration is at all. And when you're translating, although its ok here because its just a casual setting, but when you're translating professionally you have to be extremely accurate and you have to say almost the same thing they say so as to not misconstrue their message. You can change it a bit to suit the language you're translating in but you really cant change it too much

    If there is a movie made about Yoel Romero or Francis Ngannou humble beginnings and journey to the UFC, I would definitely watch that movie .. Both their stories that they told in JR podcast is just without a doubt Amazing and Inspiring..

A good fella , his translating is just perfect ,between the two of these guys is an understanding ,great interview ,you find yourself getting involved and enjoying the outcome ... Yoel deserves a champ belt , he earnt it the hard way already , got champ written above his head already 🌟

    Ha! In early to mid 90s in Cuba I was 8 when a few coaches came in and picked the "strongest" looking boys to participate in judo tryouts. I thought it was extra curricular activities, that got me out of class. About 4 or 5 boys from my school got selected including me, and I trained judo for about 2 years before my parents defected to the U.S. Here I am 20+ years later putting all the pieces together, by hearing someone talk a out their experience. Kinda fascinating.
