BJJ specialist Mackenzie Dern lends some of her wisdom to Internet-sensory Haley Welch, best known as the “Hawk Tua” girl.
This weekend was an unlikely pairing at Game Night VI, a celebrity poker tour in Las Vegas. Dern finished fourth in the tournament. This featured several celebrities and several people who were probably not heard of if you were over 40.
Two names at Dern’s table include Welch and the former star NFL who drove Adrian Peterson back. During a particularly playful exchange, Welch jumps out of her seat and tries to put Peterson in the chokehold. It was immediately clear that the podcaster had no idea what she was doing.
Enter the dern that was pleased to show you how to lock the hold in the welch. Check out the clip below.
“Karate Yutatsupo” offers to train “Hawk Tua” due to JoJo Siwa’s Clash
Welch has appeared in various combat sporting events since her viral “Hawk Tua” video launched her into the stratosphere last year. Welch also shares footage of his training, perhaps in preparation for his battle with former Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa.
When she appeared at last year’s Karate Combat Event, Welch was interviewed by “Karate Hot Tatar” Michelle Waterson.
“Listen, girl, if you’re going to fight JoJo Siwa, come down to Albuquerque – I’ll train you,” Waterson told Welch. “Is it okay? I’m going to take her to Albuquerque and prepare for a karate battle. Are you ready?”
Welch said, “Hell!”
