"PUNCH HER AND DON'T STOP FUCKING PUNCHING HER" - All Time Cornerman Speech Leads To TKO Seconds Later
Earlier this year, Aspen Ladd suffered the first loss of her career when she was knocked out by Germaine de Randamie in just 16 seconds. Tonight, the Bantamweight returned to the octagon versus Yana Kunitskaya, and was putting on a pretty good performance through the first two rounds! Not good enough for her coach, Jim West, however. He lit a motherfucking ten thousand degree fire under her ass just prior to the third round, shouting the following AMAZING quote at her...
"You've been in the cage too fuckin' long. You're just standing there. I need a fucking shitload more for five minutes. You have to fuckin' beat her up for five minutes. There is no other expla-everythi-you have to get on her ass and don't get off of it.
You stay inside, you stay in that phonebook, and you fuckin' punch the fuck outta her hittin' her face. She's not gonna like it! Every time you hit her she goes backwards. Punch her and don't stop fucking punching her, okay?! You HAVE to pick it up.
Aspen, you HAVE to go. You-everything you have for five minutes. She can't keep up with it. The moment you touch her in the face, it backs her up. Stay on it. Keep your back off the cage."
We don't really cut to the cornerman speeches at Rough N Rowdy a ton, and it's because they ALL sound like that. It's just some guy usually yelling in a rocked fighter's face, "KNOCK HIM THE FUCK OUT!!! EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!!! DON'T BE A PUSSY!!!", and that ain't funny the 100th time you hear it. When you hear it the 101st time while watching the highest level of the sport in the world, though, and it WORKS?!
Oh yeah. That's funny.
P.S. Jim West and Aspen Ladd are dating, by the way, so you just KNOW the percentage of responsibility each holds for this win will be a topic or arguments for years to come. God bless em.
