Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, Med drugimi temami.

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 “z val.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington je trdila, da je bil zgolj signalizacija za oboževalce v množici, da je oddana ni delal nobene škode.

“Lahko vam povem, kako, da je noč končala,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “V bistvu, 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, in kot sem pograbil levi bicep in levico je šlo za njegovo glavo, sodnik ustavil boj… Bil sem presenečen, da je potrkal, ker, pošteno, Vedel sem, da sem imel veliko pritiska na čeljusti… Če v resnici je bil mahal, da je zanič za njega.”

“V tej situaciji, I posebej spomnim Bickford gledaš me, Sem soočiti, on se dogaja za mojega vratu in sem mahal,” Said Boyington. “Vsi začne buči resnično glasno in spomnim Bickford rekel, "Ne Bruce, ne morete reči, da je "… Če menite, da sem oddajo, ali sem v težavah ali ne more dihati, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ne moreš reči, da,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Vidim veliko različnih stvari, da je John rekel spletu, in veliko stvari, ki jih drugi ljudje, je dejal,, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

Pred Boyington obupal hrbet, many felt he had been winning that first round. Dejansko, 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.

“Neizogibno, Mislim, John bi že nokautiral,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Mislim, da ne bom ga predloži, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

“Mislim, da če sodnik ni ustavil v času, ko sem bil na čeljusti z mojim podlakti in sem dosegla zadaj vratu,” Ray razmišljal, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Torej, Ne verjamem, da bi šli na drugi krog.”

V dneh, tednov in mesecev po boju, 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,” tako športniki dotaknila, kaj revanš zanje pomeni, in kaj morajo dokazati, to prihaja konec tedna.

“Ne morem iti tja in premagal Johna,” Said Boyington. “Celo njegovi lastni gledalci pričakujejo, da… Ne morem iti samo v tam 13. junijand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. To vem, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, ker je druga roka ne deluje niti sedaj… 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.”

“V zvezi z Bruceom me hitro dodelavo, in zaradi česar je enostaven, in ni res skrbi boju preveč, Samo se mi zdi nespoštljivo, kot veliko stvari, ki jih je povedal, da me, moja družina in moji prijatelji,” replied Raio. “Bili so časi, po zadnjem boju, ko ljudje so mi čestitali (na Facebooku) 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. Torej, ko da sem rekel "Bruce in jaz v resnici niso prijatelji več,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… ampak ko me ljudje ne spoštujeta, kot je, da je težko, da mi je fant.”
