It Is Saturday, January 28th, 2006.
We are at the Blaisdell Arena, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Yes, the same location, just one week ago, where Tha Cbt was spotted in the audience, attending a MMA event, and was later linked to having a conversation, over the phone with one of the hottest Mixed Martial Arts prospects, 21-year old Carlos Condit.
See the link between.. Valor superstar Tha Cbt, and the young rising, extremely aggressive, yet well rounded MMA fighter, Carlos Condit, Is..
A fight that took place, 8 days ago. Infact..
In most peoples eyes, it wasn't a fight.. just another opponent destroyed, that couldn't combat with the skilled Jiu Jitsu fighter.
But regardless, Carlos impressed Tha Cbt, and Cbt was quick to say so personally, but unfortunately, Carlos' win was such a shock, to him and his team, there was no way Cbt could get to him in person.
But after several phone conversations, throughout the week, Carlos told Cbt to come back to the arena, prior to his North American title match, and now we see both men, in the gym, as we listen in..
Carlos Condit- Cbt, I asked you to come here. So you could be in the best shape possible, against Reverend Shadow, for the North American title.
You seen me in action, but the mental portion of the fight is only 30% of your arsenal, the more unstable, and aggressive you can get, the better..
Emotion plays a factor to, and while 10% of any fight can contain it, the less you have, the more opportunistic you can be.
But what we need to work on is, the physical portion.. I don't mean, being able to sprint around the ring, without losing stamina, I mean, being ruthless with your kicks, and punches, and making ever blow hurt, just as bad as it looks like it does..
After listening to what Carlos instructed working with Cbt on, and getting the chance to invision it, Cbt has a cocky smirk on his face..
He looks at Carlos, and Carlos looks at him, smiles, but then his facial expression changes, and he takes Cbt down with a double leg takedown, from there he puts his forearm in Tha Cbt's neck and throat..
Carlos- This is not a joke Cbt, In the battle royale, you came in #4, lasted more then 40 minutes.. You cleared the ring with german suplexes, then when a new man came in, delivered another.. You laid out 7 men, all bigger then you, stronger then you, with much more experience then you..
Cbt- Didn't you see the way I handled ZMaster, he laid everybody out with chokeslams, he never chokeslammed me, and I nailed him with a German, dropping his big ass to the canvas..
Carlos- True.. And then you went up the turnbuckle, when you had him off his feet, waited for him to get up, jumped off with a diving crossbody.. And got caught, thrown out, and eliminated. Nice job there.
Cbt's isn't grinning anymore, as Carlos stops applying the pressure into Cbt's neck, gets up, and helps Cbt back up to his feet
Cbt- He's a tag team champion in another promotion.. Cecil Caster is the the other half of the tag team champions in that other promotion.. He has beat me once before, in that other promotion..
Carlos- Who?
Cbt- Reverend Shadow, the North American Champion, my opponent Sunday..
Carlos- I know all that, Cbt.. Even more so then you'd think. Which is why I need to get your mindset on winning, get your body in condition for the pain that will be inflicted on it, and get your emotions to be pro-active, and to not work against you.
Cbt- Alright, so we're cool.. Oh yeah, and you got Cecil handled, right?
Carlos- Everythings handled. All you need to do, is listen, learn, and keep that North American title in your clutch.. Now, take a sip, get down to the mat, and give me 500 hindu squats
Tha Cbt takes a sip of what looks to be lemon-lime gator-aid, and grins, but quickly his facial expression changes. As he now realizes, this is the type of strides, he needs to take, to become the VWA North American champion, and beat Reverend Shadow, Sunday.
