Awesome father & son 😁
Is it just me or do all these half-White half-Poly dudes look alike? Steven Adams looks like Jason Momoa, and this Tyson Pedro dude looks like Roman Reigns.
Uce didn’t know your fams from state side. So you get to rep west coast LA, Samoa and western Sydney! Dope g
Probably one of the best interviews I’ve seen so natural and mean as vibes!
7:07 dad is killing me brah! Fn hilarious!
Pops from Cali with the Aussie accent. Mean uso.
Love Johnny…funny guy and is a legend in his own right. He always used to say " I'm 138kg supple" lol.
He comes to work one day and says…"my son told me he doesn't want to fight no more" ….that was about 12 years ago…..glad he changed his mind.
These guys are by far my favourite Father and Son duo in combat sport
