Shout out to D-Rod for changing his life & caring enough to help others do the same!good luck homie๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ
Iโm just saying, every time they make these type of videos on the fighters, they usually lose.
MY mum went to prison for a car that I stole. Wow calm down Tony Montana!
Hell ya d rod I'm proud of you .
LA ALL DAY!๐
Great story. Let's go i got him winning ๐
How do I turn to MMA to escape my current life?
Let's go D-Rod teach that Fool what's what
he aint from the hood , he grew up in pasadena
Dope!!
I really hope he knocks Garry into another dimension.
Respect to u ๐๐พ
Great pivot by Daniel. Terrific example for the kids to follow.
Especially if kids/teens have started-off on wrong foot.
This fool had 3 tattoos then got money from ufc and tatted his whole body and face lol ๐ he ainโt no gangsta lol
Reminds me of a younger Masvidal
That's right
San Gabriel Valley in
The house,even though
I'm from Los Angeles
Straight REAL
damn i was rooting for ian garry to win but now i want D-Rod to win lol
AWSOME ๐
Got his ass whooped
ian folded him
damn wish he woulve won now
D-Rod โค
Typical moron that never had any money. Dudes got 5 kids, and instead of spending it on them and their future, he spends it on tattoos. Makes sense.
Instead, today, hes an improved man. He gives people brain damage for money as well as recieving. You giys are sooo d… , not to mention, a generation so easy to impress.
Back to selling drugs for d rod
Respect
glad see my fellow irishman ko this DOO
IM TRYNNA HELP THIS FOO OUT.โ DIS FOOO, DIS FOOOOโฆ.. Lmfaooo I heard it in that one chola chicks voice! How inspiring man frfr! ๐
Very relatable did it in the right time to, most people in these streets don't make it past 21 Fights saves Lives
Man I relate to his story so much. I'm only 33 but I got almost 9 n a half years in jail and prison altogether. Training in kickboxing and must Thai was a big part of keeping me out for good n I had my sights on going pro after winning 6 amateur fights with 5 ko's and no losses. But I got Avascular Necrosis from being on a cortico steroid for too long for my psoriasis. It destroyed my hips and my dreams of going pro. I just had my first hip replacement and get the other one in 2 months. I need to relearn how to walk and everything, so I have no chance of going pro anymore, but I love his story.
The first fight I watched of his was against that black dude Mike Perry. Been tuning in ever since
โTryna help this fool out โ The LA talk ๐
Heโs okay with losing, Iโm not a fan of his any longer. The fight he turned in was not cool, take it serious..or move on
I wish he would have been ian garry.
Nobody sees what danna white does for people under the table….. salute potential is potential ๐ฏ ๐ ๐ ๐
I remember when he 1st came to TAPOUT LA he was chubby and hungry to be better I literally watched this guy grow I remember he was one of the only few that would take a ass Whoopin and come back for more…
I remember the Liang fight…… so does Liang๐
Got knocked out. Got cut. Back to the streets.
Story don't even make sense with how young he is ๐ hard core gangster went mma fighter ๐ timelines are so off
Good shit
The marathon continues drod! ๐
