In this episode of Knockout Nails, Karisa Maxwell sits down with Mighty Mouse (Brandon Desrosier) to talk about the long road that led him to bare-knuckle fighting. Before the ring, Desrosier worked overnight shifts as a tow truck driver in South Florida and saw more than most people do in the daylight. As a kid, a cop took him under his wing, bringing him to the gym and teaching him how to fight—an intervention that pulled him off the streets and set him on a different path. Now, on his first trip to New York, Mighty Mouse looks back at the moments that shaped him and the fights that got him here.

Pergande also gets candid about training jiu-jitsu with Theo Von (and why Theo might not be a fan anymore), plus the internet comparisons that won’t leave him alone.

Most people spend years learning how to ride a bull. Taji had one weekend. Gary Leffew has trained some of the best bull riders in the world and once trained the bulls for Johnny Knoxville in Jackass. He's 81 years old and still runs his ranch in Emory, Texas. For some reason, he agreed to take Taji on as a student. Over one weekend, Gary pushed Taji past every mental barrier standing between him and a 1,500 lb animal that wants nothing more than to throw him off. Spoiler: the bull didn't care how much Taji practiced. The finale? A live ride at Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth, the World's Largest Honky-Tonk, in front of a real rodeo crowd. No stunt double. No safety net. Just Taji, a bull, and eight seconds that felt like a lifetime.

In this documentary, we look at the legacy of Flushing Meadows through the eyes of Dino Raul Dominguez del Salto, the president of Liga Deportiva Estudiantil and an NYC Hall of Fame inductee.

Facing a lack of official pitches and operating without permits, they brought their own goalposts, fixed the fields themselves, and even took their protests directly to City Hall. Today, this iconic park serves as a second home for generations of families—a vibrant subculture built on brotherhood, drive, and an unyielding love for the beautiful game. But as immigration pressures and shifting generations alter the league's landscape, a new question arises: who will step up to carry the torch?
