I spoke with TJ Laramie ahead of his featherweight title fight with Charles Jourdain at TKO 41.
We spoke about his mentality heading into a main event bout that he always figured would happen eventually, how he’s built up his skills from an early point (3:10), being sent to Japan where he made his debut in Pancrase (4:04), TKO’s ground breaking points system and how that will lead to his next fight after TKO 41 (4:32), resigning for three fights with TKO and his goal to get into the UFC by the time he turns 21 (5:32), thriving under the pressure of the bright lights (6:48), fighting on the same card as his brother Tony (7:46), who he’s been working with in this camp (8:30), TJ’s hilarious social media game (11:45), our mutual appreciation of Hulk Hogan’s twitter game (12:45), training to a lot of hip hop (13:43), and more!
