Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, laarin awọn miiran ero.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “ọwọ igbi.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington ti jà pé o ti jo tani lolobo pe si rẹ egeb ninu awọn enia ti wa ni idaduro pada ni a ko ṣe eyikeyi bibajẹ.

 

“Mo le so fun o bi o ti oru pari,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Besikale, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, ati bi mo ti mu mi osi bicep ati awọn mi osi ọwọ ti a sile lọ ori rẹ, awọn Ref duro ni ija… Mo ti a ti yà pé ó ti tapped nitori, nitootọ, Mo ti mọ pe mo ti ní pupo ti titẹ lori re bakan… Ti o ba ti ni o daju ti o si ti Map, ti o buruja fun u.”

 

“Ni ipo ti, Mo ti pataki ranti Bickford nwa ni mi, Mo wa dojuko soke, o n lọ fun mi li ọrùn ati ki o Mo n Map,” Said Boyington. “Pipe gbogbo bere ramúramù gidi rara ati ki o Mo ranti wipe Bickford, 'Ko Bruce, o ko ba le so pe '… Ti o ba ro wipe mo ti n fohunsile tabi Mo wa ni wahala tabi ko le simi, you don’t tell the fighter, “O ko le so pe,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Mo ti ri kan pupo ti o yatọ si ohun tí John ti wi online, ati opolopo awon ohun miiran awon eniyan ti wi, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Šaaju si Boyington fun soke re pada, many felt he had been winning that first round. Nitootọ, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Sàì, Mo ro pe yoo John ti sọ a ti lu jade,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Emi ko ro pe mo ti wa maa yonda fun u, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Mo ro pe ti o ba ti Ref ko da ni akoko, nigbati mo wà lori rẹ bakan pẹlu mi forearm ati ki o Mo ti a ti nínàgà sile ọrùn rẹ,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Nítorí, Emi ko ro pe o yoo ti sọ lọ si a keji yika.”

 

Ni awọn ọjọ, ọsẹ ati awọn osu wọnyí ni ija, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” mejeeji elere bà lori ohun ti rematch tumo si wọn, ati ohun ti wọn nilo lati fi mule yi bọ ìparí.

 

“Mo ti o kan ko le lọ ni nibẹ ati ki o lu John,” Said Boyington. “Ani rẹ ti ara egeb ti wa ni reti wipe… Emi ko le o kan lọ ni nibẹ lori June 13thand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Mo mo yen, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, nitori awọn miiran apa ti wa ni ko paapaa ṣiṣẹ ọtun bayi… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”

 

“Ni iyi si Bruce finishing mi ni kiakia, ati ṣiṣe awọn ti o rorun, ati ki o ko gan idaamu nipa ija ju Elo, Mo ti o kan ri o alaibọwọ bi a pupo ti ohun ti o ti n sọ fún mi, ebi mi ati awọn ọrẹ mi,” replied Raio. “Ko si wà ni igba lẹhin ti awọn ti o kẹhin ija nigba ti awon eniyan ti won congratulating mi (lori Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight.
