      @El Machete No thats not what transliteration is at all. And when you're translating, although its ok here because its just a casual setting, but when you're translating professionally you have to be extremely accurate and you have to say almost the same thing they say so as to not misconstrue their message. You can change it a bit to suit the language you're translating in but you really cant change it too much

    If there is a movie made about Yoel Romero or Francis Ngannou humble beginnings and journey to the UFC, I would definitely watch that movie .. Both their stories that they told in JR podcast is just without a doubt Amazing and Inspiring..

    Yoel has a supreme peripheral perspective on life, somehow Joe and Joey who in their own right has a distinctive outlook on life that makes them understand people and their character on a sophisticated level, something not a lot of people can comprehend. Note that none of the crew gets involved much with the conversation, i understand with the language its not easy, but thats what I mean, having the mental dexterity and complexity to get past that and establish a good 2 way convo regardless. I like it

Some of that needed in a lot of cities across the states and here in London. Joey is a funny guy . A good fella , his translating is just perfect ,between the two of these guys is an understanding ,great interview ,you find yourself getting involved and enjoying the outcome ... Yoel deserves a champ belt , he earnt it the hard way already , got champ written above his head already 🌟

      who cares if Cuba gets mad he fled that brutal regimen and is now free. after going through hell in Cuba he never going back there . if he did he probably be killed of jailed for life for fleeing. this other dude that does spanish soap operas william levy said he would go to the beach in Cuba and dreamed how it would feel to be free and drink soda whenever you wanted🤔. crazy, and fidel died and the regimen still going strong🤔incredible. is like Cuba stuck in the twilight zone whereyou can never find freedom
