• 1:34
  Speaker 1: main event zeke La two Jerome Hatch.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Jerome Hatch has been around.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: He's been doing it since he was fighting before my
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: first fight in the local Utah MMA scene. I remember
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Zach Partridge fears fighting championships here in the Broadway studios
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: with us. I remember I went to my very first
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: like fighter meeting for the ultimate combat experience.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: That was the only show in town. Basically back then,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: drive out.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: To the gym that he had in West Valley, any
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: prospective fighters could be here, little Q and A whatever.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I remember walking in and of course sizing each other up,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: looking around, looking around, looking around, and the Hatch.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Brothers were already in there.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They were already six seven fights deep, and they were
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: just like, yeah, what if we do this?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: What if we do this? Like who are these yahoo's?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So he had already had fights before I even took
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: my very first one. He's been an og he's been around.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: He's the guy. I mean, he's a dying breed. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: said all the time. And you know he's coming up
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: if there's sanctioned fights, and then there's back in the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: day when they weren't recording them as well. This is
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: his one hundred and eighty eighth fight and his fiftieth
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: fight in Utah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: That's wild, and he's done a little bit of everything right,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: dabbled in the bare knuckle. He still had a lot
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of success. He won a major organization championship and bare knuckle.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: He did it. I mean, he didn't fight MMA last year,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: but he went three and one in bare knuckle and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: beat a UFC VET and that they literally they were
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: they were bringing in Jerome for that fight to lose
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to build this UFC VET. And then what does Jerome do?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Does what he does best, and uh and you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: shocks shocks. Everybody beats that guy up. Guy gets carried
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: out on stretcher. He goes three and one last year
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and bare knuckle, and they he he wants to fight
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: all the time so much. They said, do you have
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: anything for me? And they said and they said not
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: right now, sit tight and goes, okay, I'm gonna go
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: do this MMA fight on two weeks.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Notice that that's awesome, and uh, look, I know that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it can be a curse on a card if you say,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this one's not going to the judges, right this the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: oacly shake.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: This one's not going to the judge.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: There's just absolutely no shot that Zeke Latu and Jerome
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Hatch are. You could send the judges home main event
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they get off the early, they're done, their scorecards are
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not going to be needed.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Both these guys a big knockout power.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Well and yeah, I mean, and we've seen one of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the best fights we've ever seen at Fierce was the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: last time we went to Uvu in uh twenty twenty four.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Jerome went the distance in a five round title fight
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: that was credible, uh, and it was exciting for twenty
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: five minutes. But Zeke never goes to a decision like
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that's that. That's just the way it is. And so
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the way Zeke fights and the way Jerome fights, Uh, honestly,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I'd be surprised if it gets out of the first round,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: but that could happen.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I guess if you're looking to see a large, tough
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: man get knocked out, then this is the card for you.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean, yeah, I mean in Zeke's coming, Zeke's
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: coming off of a knockout win at the Maverick Center
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: last August thirteen seconds, knocked a guy out that is
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: gone four and one in his last five heavyweight fights,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: and Zeke was the one that he lost to. So
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: he'd knocked out a really tough, really tough guy, uh
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Danny Trejo. And then uh yeah, and then Jerome's just
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: been staying busy. But like that is the beautiful thing
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: when Zeke's uh Zeke got an opponent pull out in December.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: He's supposed to be on her December card. He pulled out,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: and then we try to get him rebooked and didn't
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: work out, and then we went through a couple opponents.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I just finally, I just said, I know, I know
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: who will take the fight if we can get it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: You're your boy, uh Andy Bouquette. He's like, have you
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: have you hit up Jerome? And I was like, not yet,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: but I know he'll do I know he'll do it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: It's just and that's the other thing. And you know
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: this too. You came up in a day and age
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: where the Utah fighters fought each other all the time.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: We've kind of gotten away from that. We'd like to
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: bring guys in and build always build the Utah guys.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: A lot a lot of the Utah guys they trained
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: together now exactly.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: And even Zeke and Jrome had the opportunity to fight
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: at one point last year, and and and the reality
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: was Zeke was like, I like Jerome, Like we're around
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: each other the fights, Like he's somebody that you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: we're friendly, you know, and uh, and so it just
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: it didn't materialize. But when you explain to it, like
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: this is what makes the biggest fights, when the whole
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: fan base knows both guys. Yes, And even Zeke text
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: me and he's like, I can't believe the amount of
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: support I'm getting for this because people are excited for
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: him to fight somebody like Jerome. And everybody's usually really
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: excited to see Jerome on a card because they know
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: what he brings. So it's I mean for an eleven
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: fight card. But to end with that, there are so
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: many people that are coming to this card just to
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: see that fight.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, one of the reasons I love a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: fight like this one is because you and I have
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: talked about this. There's a lot of guys that are
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: coming up that maybe haven't fought on the biggest of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the big shows yet, and they're trying to cultivate a record,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and they're trying to protect this and they don't want
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a tough fight because of that. And this matchup is
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: two guys that even if they're friendly with each other,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: even if they kind of know each other, even if
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I train with his friend and he trained with my friend,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and he might know my secrets and I might know
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: his secrets, it's just like, no, man, I want to fight. Yeah,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And so records kind of be damned, and the politics
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of it be damned.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out and fight.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Like Zeke Latu could very easily say that guy's got
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: five times as many fights as me, just sanctioned. Yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want to like that's I'm not going to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: bite off more than I can chew from an experience standpoint.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: But he takes the fight, and Jerome Hatch will fight
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Drum hatchill fight his grandma for the right price. Yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: But by the way, too, Dermes fought for us his
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: last couple of fights. He's fought for our one to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: eighty five title. He's fought for our two o five title.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: It was our two five champ at one point. Zeke's
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty plus pounds every bit of a
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: heavyweight and Drum's like drums down to fight him. Uh,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he's If he gets his hand raised,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: he'll be calling out Camp Maffialo, who's been our perennial
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: heavyweight champ, who trains with Zeke as well. Big. You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: like he's here, he's here for he's here for everybody.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: He's here for violence, so, you know, for a guy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: And that's why I say I don't make him anymore.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Let alone one person not protect their record, but go
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: up multiple weight classes. I mean, Jerome's stature wise, if
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: you look at him.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He's one five to ten.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm tall and he is, you know, but you
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: go shake his hand in it's four arms or cab
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: muscles and to you know, like.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He's a big blue collar dude.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's an iron worker, like an iron worker, a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: welder or something like that. He's just it's it's a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: little bit of a throwback. Like I said, I've known
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Jerome Gosh. Two thousand and seven was when we first
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: met each other, so I've known him almost twenty years now.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: We fought on a lot of the same cards, and heck,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sure if I hadn't retired, we would have fought
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: each other at some point.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: But I'm sure if you want to do one more,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I know the guy that would say, yes.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, don't, don't temp me with a good time. I gotta,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I gotta.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I heard you still like to go into the givid
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: bag a little every once in a while.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You know the wife doesn't really enjoy it when I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: come back with one more time.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Don't do that. You can't afford I'm a.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Promoter, dude.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Of course I'm gonna try. You can't afford my my fees.

  Speaker 1: I think that's great, and that's it's it's the way
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: things are done at the lower levels of the sport.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: When you're climbing up, you gotta sell tickets.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: You gotta.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And I remember those days when my actual purse was
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, but I got five hundred from.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: The ticket sales because people supported me.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It's a big deal, man, And it makes you feel
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: cool when folks are chanting your name and your hometown
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: or whatever. So outside of this main event, which we
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of time on, which fight are you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: most intrigued by?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: On the card?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Oh man, there's I mean there's a handful the main
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: cards really good. I mean, honestly, the prelims are out
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: as good and loaded as as you as you can
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: look at. If I'm gonna have to circle one on
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the prelims, I'm probably gonna look at James Iona versus
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Hunter Birdsley. They have a total they are both one
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and oho at two oh five. James Iona's original opponent
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: unfortunately had to pull out with an injury last week,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: and we called Hunter Birdsley, who James Iona filled in
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: for Hunter Birdsley in August at the Maverick Center card
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: when he had to pull out. So come full circle.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Now they're fighting each other and they between the two
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: of them, I believe, have about fifty eight seconds of
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: fight time. Both of their fights lasted less than thirty seconds,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: so with knockout, So that that's another one at two
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: o five two amateurs one to oh amateurs that uh,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: you know, judges, you can you can probably take a
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: break on that one because they they have the way
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: they fight, both of them, there's no other outcome than
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: somebody's getting knocked out.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: If you are an old school m MA fan in
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the state of Utah, that name Birdsley just perked your
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: ears up because James Birdsley was one of the guys
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that I mean, just an absolute menace back in the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: early days of the sport. Here, a guy who honestly
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: should have and could have made it to the big leagues.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Just every time he was close, something dumb would happen.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And that's just kind of the legacy unfortunately. But his
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I got to figure out how I think Hunter is
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: his nephew. And if I'm correct there, then Hunter's dad
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is like would be Ryan Birdsley, who I changed and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: trained with also for a long time. So you got
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to find this out for me. But I trained with
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: James back in the day. I trained with Ryan, and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Ryan always had like a job, like he was like
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a regular dad that was focused not on his MMA career.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: He was focused on his family and focused on you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: putting food on the table and stuff like that.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: But was an absolute monster.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Incredibly tough, beautiful, long grade striking, could not be knocked out.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: You get into those crazy rounds in the gym where
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: it stopped being a sparring round and ended up being
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a fight, and this is like he's like an accountant
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: who then ended up running a CrossFit gym or something
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: like that, and he's kicking your ass.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: When you're a pro fighter, you're just like man.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: So that Birdsley blood's line bloodline is is made of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: something tough.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I just texted him to see if we can get
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the relation there. But you know, he what you just
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: described is exactly how people describe him too. He's six
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: three six four long and yeah, he's an animal, a
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: former Olympus titan. Yeah, Hunter Birdsley. Yeah.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: So go check it out, man.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And again, if you're a casual MMA fan and you're
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: not sure if you're gonna like the in arena experience,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the live experience, I don't want to be sitting clear
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: up in the nosebleed seats. Not a bad seat in
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the house at these Masonic Temple fights. It's really cool atmosphere,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a really cool vibe. The building is so fascinating. Walk around,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: look at the symbology and the weird portraits on the wall.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It's neat, man, it's cool.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: It's one hundred year old bilding. I mean, that's our
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: campaign this year is we're there to save the Temple.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: People keep asking why are you guys at the Masonic Temple. Well,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: it's because they were going to close their doors. They're
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: very close without some events and things going on there
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: that they would have to close their doors and it
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: would be a real shame to see that that cool
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: historical building go away. So that's a big part of
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: the reason why we're there. And so that's part of
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: our campaign and Spring awareness and hopefully other people book
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: events there as well, but I mean, yeah, we love
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: it there and it's my favorite venue to watch fights
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: at here in Utah. It really is. I know everybody's
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: alerd with the Maverick Center or whatever, which is it's
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: really nice in there too, but it has the big
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: show vibe, but the intimacy of the small regional show
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: still too. And it's just really cool and unique.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I mean it really is.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I've watched fights in every setting all over the world
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: of called I'm lucky enough to do this, and it
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is one of the most unique and interesting places you're
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: gonna find one. And there really is not a bad
• 14:07
