Sam Patterson

You don't need to be the best competitor in the world to be a

phenomenal coach I think there's a black belt coach is Sam Patterson who's in the UFC Dave Lee so he runs Team Crossface and he's always put up posts and stuff and he was like my job as a coach shouldn't be to be the best person in the room if I'm a good coach I think I am I should have people who beat me because I've coached them to be the best person in any room.

So it's kind of like that.

The coach shouldn't be the best person in the room.

Maybe we'll get him crushing skulls like you did against Cyborg.

Let's give him Sam Patterson.

Not only give him Sam Patterson, let's do it in his hometown.

Favorable matchup.

Boring decision.

He's there for the picking.

Boring fight.

Sam Patterson, unranked.

And now so much so he's going in against a guy like Trey Waters, you know, who's 10 and 2, coming over from a good run in the UFC, where, what? He won two of his three fights.

Like, he only lost to Sam Patterson, who is a top, top prospect in the world at the moment.

Came in and destroyed his first opponent in the PFL.

Um, I think Waters will have a similar sort of issue as he had with, with Sam Patterson against Kubanza.

I think, I, I know speed is gonna be a thing I talk a lot, a lot about this week, because I think it's a factor in a lot of these fights.

I think Kubanza is just gonna be, uh, just the speed differential.

He had a similar sort of thing, I suppose.

He fought a few times over in the UFC, lost to Sam Patterson, then came over and he fought once in the PFL and got a big finish there.

So, you know, again, a guy with a lot of finish, so that's a fight we should definitely be paying attention to over there.

I am a big fan and always have been of of every Mbappé, a young light heavyweight slash heavyweight who, you know, hasn't always gone his way.

a bit One of my favourite training partners is Ben Patterson.

He's Sam Patterson's younger brother, the one that fights in the UFC.

He's half my size and me and him have some great rounds and it's very technical.

It used to be me just trying to kill him and him trying to kill me and then it got to the point where we'd know each other's game and then I'd do the same thing and then he'd capitalize on it and the next minute I'm upside down I'm thinking hold on I'm just giving it to him now it's got to the point where everything is very very very very technical have to really think about why he's putting his foot there hold on he's he's he's goading me into going for that where where she does but I've got to the stage where I think, you know what, I need to slow my game down.
