Please enjoy this photo of me being DOPE AS FUCK some time in 1986. I'm putting this here just as a counterweight to anyone who may think I'm getting a big ego now that I'm about to hit 70K subscribers and doing an AMA. You cant have an ego while a photo like this exists. Just look at me in my knee socks and sandals on the beach. Someone beat this kid up, please.

So yeah, it looks like I'm actually gonna hit 70k, probably overnight! I'm honestly still kinda shocked. I still remember the day I hit 1K subscribers. I genuinely thought I'd reached my ceiling! I kinda assumed there wasn't much of a market for my weird ass voice and sense of humour, but damn I'm glad I was able to find so many like minded individuals. Thank you, all. I am genuinely not an egotistical person in the slightest, so whether it's, 7, 70K, or 700K, I am still just some weirdo who loves martial arts and fluked his way into video creating, so I will always be thankful for you guys support. 

So yeah, lets do this thing! Ask me anything! Be it martial arts, movies, videogames, music, whatever burning questions you have, (within reason!) fire away. I'll collate them all and do a video response within the next week or so.

As far as the next video goes, I just hit 30 minutes of recorded dialogue, and 24 minutes of completed footage. So far, I really like how this one is shaping up!! The first 3rd is based on historical freakshows, boxer v wrestler matches from the 40s & 60s and shit, and I just started on Ali vs Inoki today. 

I've also done some pretty cool stuff with this one, (or at least, it seems cool to me, other people? shit could be hit or miss..) I wont spoil anything, but I've spent way too much money on stupid segments in this one already... 😆 Your Patreon money hard at work!!! I actually had a segment about Jack Dempsey i really wanted to see if I could convince fellow MMA 'tuber MixedMollyWhoppery to read, but I'm not on twitter so if any of you are and follow him, please harass him to do this for me 😆

Also, I'd like to share this clip of the greatest fight scene I've ever seen: 

Ed Parker fight scene from Seven (1979) - YouTube

This is what I love about researching these videos. The weird, random shit you come across! This guy is Ed Parker, who was the coach of Gene LeBell, who you probably know as the guy who made Seagal shit in his pants. While reading up on Gene and Parker I found this clip on yotube and you better fuckin' believe I found a way to get this in the video.  

Thank you all again! Catch you soon!

Congrats on the 70K! I knew you were going places when I subbed 🥲 what's your favorite submission to practice?

BawlsRItching

Congrats man!!! I remember finding you around the 1k mark. You’re content is underrated asf and I try to get my MMA friends into your content all the time. You deserve all these subs and more!

Edward Booth

Have you been told that you have a good "voice over" voice? Did you have practice reading over video when you started? What made you do your first video? Non-martial art YouTube pages you like? Keep up the great work.

MIND|BODY|SOUL WITH BILAL FAWAZ

Just gonna hang this out here in vain hope. As my favourite combat sports content creator nothing would make me more content (😉) than a piece on literally any aspect of the career of my favourite fighter James Toney.

RJAmos

I've been promoting the shit out of your channel. You are genuinely good in what you do. Question. For how long have you been practicing bjj? This is my second year. 🙋‍♂️ I do have a Okinawa Kempo black belt. what kind of music do you like? I'm a metal head

Wayne Scales

That fight scene was some real McBane shit 😂😂 keep up the good work 😎 fuck the YouTube overlords 🤘 just bleed

Amber Attorney

Congrats on the milestone NB - I won't be the last to say that I'm not surprised

Leo

If every fighting game character in the history of video games competed in a single elimination tournament, who is winning?

BADTRASHPANDA

“Look at this distinguished gentleman..yes..” For the AMA, my question is regarding the final chapter of Ngannou vs UFC, and now seeing that it’ll be Ciryl Gane v Jon Jones for the title. What are your thoughts on this as a whole and which matchup would you have preferred to see?

Carl Alva

Time to play Tekken, you cannot pick Jin or Paul. Who do you pick?

nofx989

Congrats buddy, you absolutely deserve it dude. All the best Napoleon.

Michael Crites

Rank your favorite combat sports/martial arts (1-10) first in terms of effectiveness and second in terms of entertainment to watch. Not the best question, but my brain is dead this morning lol

Robert Feiner

Good lord, that fight scene just keeps getting better as it goes along. I felt like a sommelier as I watched that, yes yes, I see, a slow build of bruce lee with some hints of superfly, a strong finish of dirty harry.

Michael Crites

Question for the AMA: With the current state of the war in Ukraine and specifically the effect on oil prices rising due to the ban on oil from Russia, how do you see this effecting the Middle East, Saudi Arabia being the main player, in terms of their stance of economic power on a political level; and therefore, will this rise the possible production of other green forms of power to lose dependency on the Middle East? If this was the case, would that in turn add to the global power of china (due to some much of green production products coming from china) or will other countries in the west be more proactive in green power production? Where will nuclear energy fall in this spectrum? If one country ends up being the front runner in production of green energy, could there be a new super power on the global landscape?

Craig Mack

Hey mate, absolutely love your videos! As do my mates, we're always sharing your videos with other like-minded MMA fans. Very basic question, but where are you from? I'm from Ireland myself, great to see an Irish creator doing so well with such great videos, fair play.

Stephen Doyle

Apart from careless whispers what is your favourite song?

Ash

What's your favourite animal and your odds of beating it in unarmed combat?

AJ

Idk man that looks like some shit I'd have worn in the same year😂You know you thinking there wasn't much an audience for the type of content you make always brings me back to The PinkMan. I feel like his were a predecessor for some stuff, but even fuckin WEIRDER. I loved it though, maybe we can all try to find that fuckin guy and get him in a video of yours😀

BeefCheeks

You're still criminally underrated. Your channel should be at least 1+ million subs. Question: Could you win a Kumite tournament against the following competitors: Asida Kim, Frank Dux, Rafiel Torre, George Dillman, Kiai Master, Jay Queiroz, Dung Hao, Count Dante, Charlie Z, Yanagi Ryuken, and James Hydrick.

Stu Anderson

I've really enjoyed some of the books you've recommended (and of course I mean asida Kim here 😉) and have just recently finished Alexander Gustafsson's Mauler book after seeing it in one of your videos. What are some of your other favourite books - MMA related or otherwise?

Lee

Hey Napoleon, just wanted to say I love your videos! The first one I saw was The Rise and Fall of Conor McGregor, which randomly came up on my YouTube, and I've been hooked ever since. This is a random question, but in that video, you said at one point that you started out as an electrician, but had to give it up so as to achieve your dream of turning pro at Tekken. Is that actually true? (The electrician part, not the pro at Tekken part.)

Sixten

This is unrelated to any celebration of your channel slowly inching closer to the recognition it deserves, but I have a question for you, Mr. Blownapart. I recently read what I have now come to understand is something like sacred document in the world of MMA, that being the article: "Worst Life Ever: The Story of Kazuyuki Fujita's Skull", written by self-described hilarity technician Seanbaby for Cracked.com back in 2010. I noticed a strong similarity to your style of comedy in his writing, particularly in his use of obscure references to old video games and comedic exaggeration. Hence, my question to you is if you are in any way influenced by Seanbaby's work? I only got into MMA when Stipe Miocic wrestle-humped his way to his third title defense against a very winded Francis Ngannou, so I am largely unaware of what the big writers in the community were in the early 2000's. This question might therefore come across as a little silly, like asking a successful rock band if they have ever heard of The Beatles, but I am genuinely curious. Love your content. I'll see if I can get my coach to wear one of your shirts next time he makes the walk to the octagon.
