Another couple of fine guests.
Tony Jas really has so much confidence in himself, not normal. I hope some Dutch boxers can pull it off.
Manken really has a nice product with LFL and with that he makes sure that finally some Dutch people in MMA can mean something again.
Mannaart's comeback is nice, luckily there are few real opponents for him over there in Japan because otherwise I'm afraid he's going to have a tough time after not fighting for so long.
And Duncan is really making a nice series. Nice that S2 is almost here now!
I think it is only nice that Mannaart is going to run again. Better to rebuild some rhythm abroad and who knows, maybe back to Glory later. Given his age, he could do another serious run one.
I don't begrudge him. If he can get back to level there are plenty of heacyweights at Glory that he can grab.
CDB oil has a lot of benefits, and I have nothing against the product. But this is really about malicious misinformation.
Before he talks Tony Jas into a suspension: https://www.dopingautoriteit.nl/nieuws/algemeen/item/8853/CBD-olie+just+as+prohibited+as+a+joint
It's just on the WADA list and a lot of sports and sports organizations use it. So it would be really stupid to use CBD oil before a competition and get caught on it.
Martial artists are often lucky that they are not always tested.
Worse, however, is the claim that it prevents cancer. Later, he briefly says the word "may" in between. The KWF says the following about it: https://www.kwf.nl/nieuws/cannabisolie
Anyway, Mr. Lanera would like to sell it, and then twisting facts is very easy. For now, I see him as a quack who likes to make money. Like a lot of other influencers.
Exactly this
I seriously thought... what is that gasT doing there at the table. He is coming to promote his product. His story was anything but convincing. It's nice that he talks about Glory fighters using it (Glory go test your fighters!). It is nice that he is a sponsor and can help fighters on their way. But don't know if this man can be taken seriously.
Now that I've had a little longer iver to think about it, it's also weird that Remy put him at the table. Normally he is so anti drink, drugs and doping.
Fortunately, they still went against him a bit there. Better not invite guests like that again.
A while ago, they also had that mason jar from the biostable.
Nice to see a little more attention paid to Andre Mannaart. The founding fathers are sometimes forgotten too quickly. I am curious to see what we will see from Tony Jas, because there will be no lack of self-confidence. Would be nice if Jas, Kraus and Holzken could all leave their mark on boxing.

CBN oil and all these other supplements all sound great. But always wonder what do you really need. Many athletes and influencers are mainly concerned with making money. Interesting product though.
Finds it a bit vague reminds me a bit of the hype surrounding Noni aka debri apra, Acid Sack, Charcoal, etc. I am sure it is anti-inflammatory or soothing but it is brought up as if it cures everything and nothing
They should have done that Glory USA in the hood then you automatically get the right atmosphere. Rent Rucker Park.
