I think the dopest thing is Dom knows exactly how to talk to a young guy like Van. And at the end hes dropping knowledge basically in a roundabout way saying "Hey if they put pressure on you to fight more often make sure theyre paying you more especially given the amount of damage youve taken this year"

If you’re gonna do a podcast after a fight, glad it was this one!! Lots of insight into a championship mindset.

@EdwinLodell 8 days ago

This wasn’t just fight talk. It was about mindset, pressure, growth, life, and what it really takes to become a champion. Real talk between two warriors who’ve been there. Massive respect. Salute to both champs. 🫡🔥

Crazy to see how much more comfortable he is behind the camera and interviews. The kid is really coming into his own. The aura is growing

i always say this, joshua van is the definition of a champion

Dominick, you are a great host and ask great questions. He basically was telling Josh Van respectfully that fighting the end of this year was too soon. Too many wars this year and the other guy is fresh. Please take his advice and fight next year champ.

Dom might be the best former fighter/champ to analyze and do fighter interviews… smarter then 99% of guys on tv for sure

Man this kid is so mature and grounded. Most fighters his age don’t have this wisdom.

Josh I pray your homeland can find peace. I love watching you fight but I love your story more. I'm proud to say your American now we're lucky to have you. What a great person, great story. Keep the faith brother.

Bro I’ve been to Myanmar a dozen times. Lovely people and a country with so much potential. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and calming. Haven’t been since the military coupe but wishing the best for the people of Myanmar 🙏

Big fan of Josh’s fighting style. Most entertaining fighter and my favorite to watch 💪

Joshua van is honestly extremely relatable, really hit when he talked about the slow music. I feel you bro.

Beautiful podcast! Great for Cruz to give Van the spot light to educate us about his people and their journey.

I love these 2 guys. I love how Cruz is talking to this young champ about life and teaching him a few things along the way. ❤
