It feels great to be making my debut in Yellow Gloves. I feel like it's the right time for me and I'm really excited to show the holy aura of what I'm about. I just kind of feel like I'm part of the alumni to join it now and I'm just excited to make my mark. I feel like Ireland is going to have the boom in MMA. It's already made its footprint in the MMA scene worldwide, but I think like the years to come I think you're going to see a lot more fighters progress through cagewriters, it's a Denowike contender series and so on and so forth. I think people box Irish people into like a striking category just because of McGregor or Ian Garry but I think the level of Martial Arts as a whole has risen and I think it's like up there with the world's elite level. The Bright Lights don't show who you are, they just reveal the hard work you've done so I'm really really excited for the Bright Lights to show who I am and what I've done.
