So I just automatically assumed that the fight was on, and I just started switching gears back and, the ref wanted to start us on the fence. I went up to Mike, I asked Mike if he was good, Mike said he was good. “As soon as that happened, it kind of just was through my ear, out through the ear.I said I’m good. “I had so much adrenaline going through me that everything that was happening, I would be fine. “I know Mike is a f****** soldier, I knew he wasn’t going be like, ‘No, I’m hurt, I’m ,” Harrell explained. He was confident the referee would allow the bout to continue after seeing his opponent wasn’t injured by the fall. The victory improved his record to a perfect 7-0 with finishes in all of his fights.īecause it was his first appearance of 2023, Harrell wanted to keep going after the viral moment. ”Īfter a delay, the fight continued on, and Harrell was able to get a TKO stoppage around two minutes after the fight resumed. But as soon as I hit the cage and I go to lift up, I don’t feel the cage anymore, and that didn’t really click until I already hit my knees. “I hit the shot, and I’m gonna drive through, and I’m anticipating to hit the cage, drive up, slam and keep his back against the cage, and then, just, just start ground and pound. “I’m not even thinking about it, and I’m like, ‘OK, fake the one, fake the two, go down, and I shoot, boom,’ he said. The rest was muscle memory as Harrell saw an opportunity. “So I’m hearing his coaches, I’m hearing my coaches, his coaches are telling him to watch out for the things, or do certain things, and I’m just ADHD, so I’m listening to his coaches and I’m responding to them, and I’m like, ‘You probably should do that.’ I’m talking to him and I’m hitting, so then I go point at the coaches, and I kind of move him towards the cage, just circling off, he lines up perfectly with the door.” “We’re going, and you can see me beforehand point and talk to his coaches, and this is his third round,” Harrell said of the fight. Before things went upside down, he was having a dialogue with Roberts’ coaches. Of course, Harrell didn’t mean to test the structural integrity of the cage.
