Energized Show episode published 29 September 2020 opens with hosts Ross and Russell recapping UFC 253 (Israel Adesanya vs Paulo Costa, Jan Blachowicz winning the light heavyweight title), Conor McGregor’s leaked DMs with Dana White, and Irish prospects Ian Gary, Paul Hughes, and Mason Jones at Cage Warriors. They preview upcoming Bellator cards including Paul Daley vs Derek Anderson and James Gallagher vs Carl Ellinger. The main guest segment is Kiefer Crosbie ahead of his Bellator catchweight bout against Charlie Leary in Milan. Crosbie describes a canceled flight and quarantine on arrival, explains the catchweight after Charlie Ward pulled out, and discusses COVID-era mindset, a months-long social media break, and working with nutritionist Tristan Kennedy since late 2018. He says he is lean enough to make lightweight, measures about 5.8% body fat, and contrasts his current diet with past brutal chicken-and-almond-butter cuts to 77 kg. Crosbie states this is his tenth pro fight, he is coming off two decision wins he dislikes, and he still disputes his DQ loss. He plans a December Bellator fight in America against Moyle's Jury, wants tests against names like Benson Henderson, and says MMA world champion is his sole focus over boxing or bare-knuckle for now. He predicts a knockout against Leary.

okay what's going on guys welcome to a brand new episode of energize rush where is my glove you owe me the glove for getting the call right this weekend you're right man you're right man i will hand deliver that to you on wednesday very impressive at israel this weekend uh his best fight in ufc uh his tenure there i would say by a long shot uh i was extraordinarily disappointed with parallel cost in this one possibly the worst game plan ever in the ufc title fight no yeah we'll we'll be getting into that anyway but first of all russell uh i made sure to wear the t-shirt you got me for my birthday so thanks mill uh if you are new to the show guys make sure to like and subscribe and comment below because we have a great show we're going to be going over this weekend the ufc 253 uh we're obviously going to be talking about conor mcgregor versus dana boy and then we have a very special guest at the end of the show keeper crosby is back in the show everyone loved him on last time so he's back ross you see 253 let's get into it man yeah israel assania put on an absolute striking clinic against paulo costa uh the leg kicks for a start have you ever seen someone's leg bruise that quickly no like within the round he had like welts all over his legs and also helicopters a bit more of a a sallow skin tone and i think like it takes longer for those bruises to develop in someone with his halloween skin tone it was an incredible performance the finish was almost a bit strange looking because he sort of half hit him with a punch behind the ear and then mounted them and just smashed them it was a great thing i think payload cost him landed three kicks in the entire fight now the duckworth there were heavy enough kicks but no punches thrown really well what do you think was wrong with pebble costa coming into this because you thought that he was going to win like as the week went on i was there like i think carson might actually win he seems to be another sign his head but then it was just the total opposite on game day yeah he didn't seem to do what brought him to the dance and sort of walk his opponent was down uh he just seemed to be more mocking alexander anything and it did not work for him it was a very strange and terrible game plan it really was and alexander was like perfect i decided he had the perfect game plan he was like i'm not going to get into this absolutely fighting the phone yeah you're letting me like smash her from afar yeah and like when he when he landed that left head kick i think it look it almost looked like castle was like oh [ __ ] i don't know what to do here it was oh it was just a proper world champ against almost someone who is just new to the game it just they were doing two different leagues yeah you know what maybe jay weather costa would be the top five opponent next that's that's how sort of unimpressive it was by him do you think that drink is he you can't really brain blame the crowd because there's no crowd there like what do you think over autumn do you think it was just uh the persona of vadasana do you think it was sort of like a mcgregor effect sort of thing like there he was almost in all of them you know it was almost reminiscent of eddie alvarez fighting mcgregor yeah he told me told him he was going to beat him so badly all the time and then when it came to 49 he was just outclassed that's the thing we weren't like we were almost expecting like a 40-year kind of day here i know we said that last time with romero when he took on arizona but this time it was real like this is going to be uh backs against the wall like slugfest i thought it'd be like a like a back and forth cluster to take the first two rounds and decided to come back and take the last three but it didn't go away at all no it didn't alasana won nearly every second of the fight and look probably the best middleweight champion since anderson silva is that what you honestly believe now yeah because you're obviously missing michael bisping well who was her bisbee boyband rockhold georgetown pierre yeah well yeah well i don't know if you i don't even know if i came towards april i feel like george here just like ended bisman's reign he wasn't actually a middleweight champion yeah yeah because he i don't even know if george npr even held that middleweight belt for more than a week really before saying he was getting rid of it no do not oh yeah yeah did he get rid of it very fast yeah nah i'm good thanks uh robert whittaker as well and obviously be robert whitaker quite handily so uh that i would say is his like next best performance throttle robert whitaker fight yeah so where do where does out of sign you go from here like it seems like the point that people want is versus jon jones that's what always said uh we asked uh we did a little question box on who sort of signed it for you next i answered myself saying john joe uh that's the point i want to see after seeing him do that to costa i know he said he's he wants void jared khan near next and you sort of have to respect absania wants to like fight all the top dogs yeah he wants to like clean out that middleweight division and i have massive respect for that for i'm ready to see him versus jon jones um john jones has nothing to do with the moment and it looks like they're going to go to ghana route you could do gentleman's over him or something like heavyweight but like i'd be very much ready for a five round flight heavyweight contest between jon jones and alexander yeah because i think it's kind of near as after being confirmed to take on whitaker uh uc 254 yeah so he's gonna have to win that fight anyway and adasanya is fresh yeah very fresh yeah but like you know obviously we're gonna get into it a bit dana's having the problems with conor and that like that that fight sells tickets arena so like if they were to do that over in like new zealand or australia that was maybe obviously vegas maybe if he calls out cosmonaut and tries to get kazma before he gets really good oh my god see that's the thing like obviously the alexandria versus john's fight would be unreal something to look forward to a lot and yeah because i think it's obvious to everyone now that out of tanya is in that he's in that ballpark with jon jones based on skill and everything he that was his 100 fight in mma as well just or like 100 win wasn't it well in combat sports yeah yeah yeah but uh yeah man i just don't use the real deal man who do you think could beat him in that in that middleweight division that you'd all also want to see to be honest i still think you're probably looking yo romero is probably still the best bet to actually beat him maybe like no one's clamor and see that fight but in terms of you know it's gonna be very hard to put away and he might be able to land a knockout blow on alexander kanye i just don't see it i don't see the the level of slickness being there and then her manson as well as the other person who hasn't bought beaten or tail i just don't see the level of skill there get that job done tail probably needs to win before he gets the fight but also what about any chance of rumble johnson like uh cutting down to 185 he's never fought a middleweight before one time he was scheduled to fight there he missed way to get his bell for it and lost so i just don't see him getting down to 185 not this agent's career okay well it'll be interesting to see because like shit's gonna happen that's the good thing about mma like these fights do get made um ross jan blackovich we both i think everyone wrote them off and everyone thought dominic reyes get to win but like polish power is a triumphant what a story man yeah 37 years of age came over the ufc as ksw middleweight champion uh had a bit of a role freud i think he went one and three here in his first four ufc fights but then moved up to lloyd heavyweight and he just started steamrolling people uh obviously he'd be jack ray souza uh luke rockhold corey anderson and then beat dominic reyes better than anyone well donald ray has only lost his jon jones and that was controversial and he knocked him in the second round donald rays didn't look like he had much an answer for the polish power to be honest he started sort of almost knocking him down at will and we have a new 205 pound champion yeah did didn't make a he did make a like a terrible call out after saying he wants john jones to fight him he's like john john just left he's not going to come back like who do you want to see blackfish take on next well if john johnson get a fight a because he might be like he might look at jan as an easier fight you never know uh but if he's not available i think it's going to be the winner of thiago santos and glover to share he's gonna afford yeah i'm blackwatch next for the lighthouse belt don't be all right um especially if it's thiago santos as well is there anyone else in that car that like you that impress you before we move on ross not really to be honest there but maybe brandon royvel might get that ufc flight away total shot he looked very good um against koika france he did look very good uh well this weekend it's like a it's it's a woman fest and you'll see holly holm's headlined the card against irene aldana also which remained a randomized on the card against juliana pena um what are you expecting this weekend from both fighters both void circus uh well i actually think ufc should have made grudge match holm versus drake jermaine duran me and that should be the main event and i would have had an interest in the card and to be honest i don't really have much of an interest in the card uh i think holly holm is gonna have too much for aldama on the feet and i think she's going to win a decision yeah so in an ideal world holly holm will win and remain around people win and take on each other yeah yeah but uh russ like obviously things are after exploding since the last show like conor mcgregor announced he wants to box manny pacquiao uh he's also after announcing as well that he he's after inviting justin poirier over the dublin to fight in the tree arena on december 12th we actually talked about this uh with kiefer in our interview later on so if you if you want to stick all the way through make sure to check it out but russia conor mcgregor then released dms between himself dana saying everything that happened in the background like where do we start with this man you know i mean like like where do you want to start what does that offer for the pokemon no no let's start off in the dms man it's all going down in the dms all down to the end so conor mcgregor uh dear dana white saying what's going on i'm looking for a fight what have you got in may dana white said there's only small shows in may he was like can we do la and then i was like we don't have anything i i have just engaged you for you in july if you want and he or when he said super bowl weekend he's like when's that he's like too far away like we need to do the l switcheroo yeah pull a car there will put me in there or change the venue and put me on top of a foyer mully card and then he also said he'd fight uh jacob sanchez in dublin in was it august or november it was later on the earth definitely yeah yeah i think he was trying to do his sort of season and then he would then follow back for the toil early 2021 what was your downfall uh the diego sanchez uh for you so random uh thrown in there especially seeing diego sanchez lose uh this weekend he looked in terrible shape yeah did he try to do the math without yeah the thing is like slagging off the sort of date diego sanchez in hindsight you know i mean it's a terrible like it's a terrible matchup but like yeah before that you'd be like you know i'd be a diego sanchez mcgregor in the tree arena you know well it's more i think he was when mcgregor was on the rise like diego sanchez was always a name he might have fought i think i think he almost feels he owes diego sanchez a fight um but look i can't believe ufc had conor mcgregor been like that's fighting may and they turned it down i don't know i can't believe they didn't go you know what let's have your fight mate i know man like he he moves the needle thinking no one else moves and needed like no one else like to build up like even when we put the videos that were countering them they they do way better and like we're more into it rather than talking about this flight weekend uh home we get all down at we're not really no one's clicking on the video for that exactly they shouldn't just storm the gate him versus gaijin in may why not but it could be like but at that stage it was supposed to be versus tony and connor versus justin was it yeah yeah all right they just sort of got me in with someone you know like he finished cowboy so fast that you'd even get your full fix you know he didn't even get into round two absolutely but i also think that why didn't they just keep him while he was fresh yeah i mean i know put him straight into another training camp yeah but like the thing is oh no i already bothered going into massive detail whether or not conor should have screened send screenshots out like like people were referencing guy codes you don't do that like obviously but like dana was saying conor was saying certain things and conor was like i never said that [ __ ] this is what actually would happen yeah but if dana just told the truth that wouldn't have happened yeah yeah so it's like it's like you're saying always about me saying like one turned down voice when i asked you for fights yeah and in yeah and like half of conor's business is that he says he tells the truth so like he's pulling out fights that's lowering his stock well it's a weird thing that dana white does all the time to spoilers that i don't really get yeah it's cause he's the pair he's the he's the president of the doc literally so so tell me this bothers this exhibition bail happened him versus pourier in the three arena or the pointers he calls it yeah yeah do you think it happens something's gonna have to give ross like conor is wants to do something he i think this is a massive loophole in his contract to say exhibition i like the way even the way he pulled out he wants about half give a half minute to charity pay for a report come over pay for charities like a master dollar was saying i'd love to put money towards it i think it's a great team yeah especially if they're all doing it for charity yeah whereas like sitting out and doing nothing that's useless like at times like these like like remember when we just went into the crown of voice we just went to lockdown like we did like 40 [ __ ] like interviews and every in a row every day like you need to be keeping busy and talking like this you don't mean like like shout out to one of those we train with like he's a pilot he's been he's been stuck in the ground for the last month and he's he only knows he's doing one shift next week like some people right now don't aren't working at all i'm like oh no when i wasn't working like i lost the head yeah as you would like you mean yeah times tough times yeah like give the as as conor says give the fans what they want they want mcgregor exactly and then like you know how it feels like we do the show we don't get paid to do the show we do it for a crack we like keep we have to pay a key for two grand to come on the show but i mean like teo doesn't need nappies for the next year so it's grand but i mean like but i mean like you have to keep active you better be physically or mentally you need to be doing something to be looking forward to something and like how much content are we going to be able to build around a conor mcgregor exhibition fight in our own backyard fingers crossed we'd be able to go to it you know yeah well that's the plan and i was saying to you during the week when conor was linked to fight against pacquiao that i'm not that interested in seeing conor box again i'd much rather see him compete in mma because that's the greatest version of conor mcgregor you will get in the octagon like will the boxing be expected an absolute spectacle yeah of course will will i watch it of course i'll watch it um as it comes draws close to it you know the mcgregor vortex sucks you in and you know you become you know you're chomping at the bit for the next bit of content from him yeah but what i want to see is can he get back in the octagon and get that belt back off khabib that's what i want to see i know unfortunately khabib's taking on gaity i think it's this time next month i think it's like four weeks away so uh if you are looking forward to that make sure to like and subscribe because we will be putting out videos about that as well but uh russ obviously connor he's rolled the way of irish mma absolutely smashed it um he's probably enjoyment's millions and millions and millions of people and he's influenced a nation the amount of mma fighters these days uh in our own people training and it's unbelievable and even the stuff that our own rodney does with uh spg charlestown he does the free classes for women for self-defense i mean it's just it's changed the identity of irish mma in general and culture but um there is a new wave of irish and mayfield is coming true and no more so than ian gary and paul hughes who we had on the show last week and they broke him off some unbelievable performances ian on the friday paul on the saturday and we may as well start off with him first because he was uh he was first what did you make of in gary's performance over the weekend and uh were you shocked in cage warriors you know what it's weird to say i am shocked because i was shocked at how unbelievable his performance was i couldn't believe the levels he has grown since the last time we've seen him what's in terms of faith just his in in-ring capabilities his boxing his head movement like he was so flowy in there even when it got to the ground you know i mean there was no panic you know he was blocking off submissions left right and center i was overwhelmed by everyone he was and i was actually quite proud of him i don't know if i'm supposed to say that but i was i would yeah he was you you just represented himself so well and it was a performance to be remembered yeah i'm on the same boat as you might i think it's cause like where what was his record when he came to your house when we did the first podcast was it one or two now yeah he was very very early we probably were one of the first podcasts he ever did like actually being there with people rather than just knocking the phone or a skype interview so like follow him ever since has been like it's been cool because you build bonds and these people you do interviews with you're just like you're watching sometimes you've been on the channel four or four times five times i think probably around six now yeah he's the record holder anyway right he's definitely he's he's up ahead of all four but uh yeah like water performs like such a mature clinical job um and then like everything blew up like aerial hawaiian he was shouting out everyone like it he he like talking looking back at it afterwards like who's the biggest royal star in irish in may and it's just saying gary i know paul hughes is basically there as well but but the way ian is just so different as in like it's just even the the looks as well uh like even with the purple shorts with blonde hair like he's also a middle uh welterweight like a lot a bit harsh from paul hughes now that he has blonde hair too no oh did he join her yeah didn't he no but i just i mean more like there's a lot of irish mma fighters that are all fighting around the lightweight divisions and the featherweights and that none of them are really kicking on to a different level and like making people stand up and watch do you think being from dublin helps us out yeah yeah and you know like maybe i'm being more biased because we've actually like sat down on numerous times so like i probably am being boys but it's just the way you went in there and put on such a master class performance it was uh i can't wait to see the next one but the thing is very one doesn't have to be better than the other or one doesn't have to be a bigger talent than the other or you know bigger star than the other they can both be equally big stars in their own right i think they both will be equally big stars in their own right well then we may think of the pole damage i actually thought paul's performance was so mature and it was almost like a veteran's performance he really wore down his opponent uh unbelievable clinch work and then when it came time for the finish and like he says he's not one percent better than his opponent he started going to the body and you can see once he went to the body like his opponent started to like seriously start dropping off levels and then paul eventually took him down and took us back and got the choke it was next to a flawless performance like there was at no stage where i ever thought paul was in any danger whatsoever and he outgrappled the person who was supposed to be the superior grappler oh man paul was so good like here we pose so so good and uh and he was harassing himself after he said he wasn't really happy with it and like i was just like man like if you think you can do better than that like i mean does it you're gonna go a long long way yeah definitely yeah there's a couple of shout outs as well leon who who actually lost his on team kf he jumped in on three days and obviously lost but i mean having the balls on the grid to go in and put on a performance shout out to him and then also um john mitchell performs as well john mitchell as well like uh like a buddha shout out to graham ballin for what he did with cage wars and like the production they put on was just uh it was very very good very captivating you're very very interested in the photos even if you don't know them like obviously they've announced they're gonna do another trilogy later on in the year do you know what month november november i think it is yeah so like i think ian and paul could be back on that again but also make sure to have them both back on the show but uh the main event on the phone and lloyd ross where mason jones yeah become the champ champ and getting that win adam proctor yeah sorry yeah but like that was just the icing on the cake of a brewing three days wasn't it yeah he matched conor mcgregor's cage warriors champ champ status and he's knowing to know he's undefeated and you know i actually use 10 no no yeah it was a brilliant performance i actually expected adam proctor to win that fight uh he was definitely the larger the two he sort of had jones at the end of the job at certain stages in the 44 jones just found a way to get on the inside and you know what he reminded me he's like the wealth just from gaijin that's that's the way i described him it was almost he thought were you know i was going to say reckless abandonment but it wasn't reckless it was sort of a masterful craziness yeah i think he knew that people thought he was going to lose so he's like i'm going to just go out and with my [ __ ] go out with my shield yeah and then he said he able to win him champion yeah he he got many knockdowns in that fight as well it was very very impressive i think i really really think he is going to go through the underbelt as well up to middleweight yeah go on why not like look mason jones he looks like a killer and i'm excited to see what he does in the ufc i i think he compete with the very best yeah that was that was brilliant chill to cage whereas that was uh they put in a really really good production uh there was obviously bellator that was on for uh saturday night and fabian everest lost shared welfare he won um they got of course uh making her professional tv punditry debut yeah she shares him of course as well but here i'm going to say something here and like i don't know if it's going to be controversial and that's not really meant to be it's just more of a an observation the production obviously usually are the best right like they have cameramen everywhere ready to go like even when you come up to the map when you're just getting the the cream put on your face that camera there you're ready bellator seemed to be a few steps behind even cage warriors now like obviously cage wires are defeated to the ufc so therefore everything that they do they're going to copy down the production cage where he put in was brilliant like it was it was real like wow this is this is definitely ground level whereas like when bellator on the cameraman seemed to not really know what was going on they were like zooming in the back of like people's heads it was just like like the production was not as clean and until they upgrade stuff it's never really going to be seen on the same level as ufc i think a massive problem to do as well is not have rankings systems like i mean people in ireland love all the irish fighters but they don't know who they're fighting whether it be there's no like oh he's ranked number seven he's fighting number five or he's he's not ranked he's fighting someone who's not ranked it's just there's no way of following people's careers like are people going up or they're going down because you don't yeah but i also feel like bellator and then bellator europe are almost two different organizations as well yeah uh i feel like they need to almost amalgamate them as the one for the us fans see the european fighters and the european uh fans to see the north american voters and i do agree with you a ranking system i think is is brilliant maybe start off with a top 10 that's what you'll see done as well most people don't actually know that you'll see only had a top 10 originally and then expanded top 15. i think bellator should do the same uh especially the way they do the tournaments you know i think the tournaments is cool and i almost think if they seeded the tournaments that would be better as well if they said this guy's the number one seed in the tournament this goes number two seed in the tournament i'd like that better i think it will give somebody doesn't know what they're looking at an idea of what's going on and when you know you get those um upsets like when brett premise does beat a michael chandler you're going to go [ __ ] hell that was insane yeah you know there'll be more of a genuine reaction then oh there's a new champ who's that guy yeah it's it's lasting knocking up in a stardust like i mean like let's kind of space right here i know keeper he's obviously on the show he's something later for people who don't even want to listen this but um he has that one thing that bellator are looking for like as james does as well and the cross they've already crossed him over into the american market as well whereas like some of the other slides are just solely on the orange card like yeah if you like though those guys like as we talked about keeper like how he's been like he's so scientific with his food like these guys like the the other lads they're all fine on the undercards a ranking system would it would help them so people could see oh they're gone from 15 to 11 to eight to six i mean it'd be easier for their careers i think it's just something that it would definitely help because like obviously doing the mma shows we know what can help things and like giving them even a european ranking system that would be huge as well but uh russ bellator is on this week uh before we go into the key for interview we'll just go over what's going on uh this thursday bellator is on uh paul daley is fighting he's talking he's taking on anderson uh russ what are you expecting from this fight before we go into the other fight hopefully we get a bit of fireworks being anderson and they you know um i actually haven't seen that derek andersonville too often but we all know paul they don't call him centex for nothing hopefully we get a bit of explosion out of him and hopefully we get to see you know for the year candidate that we know paul daley is capable of yeah and then uh also shout out to brian moore he's fighting this card as well he's about to get moved to the main card as well but uh there's someone you should definitely go for norbert navini jr he actually follows us ross if you didn't know but he's the guy who beat will fury in the tree arena he's uh yeah nurburg is good yeah your man's gonna have his hands full uh blaine driscoll is also on the card as well this is on thursday then ross i'll go into saturday's card it's going to be headlined but james got her against carl ellinger this is the fourth time it's been booked ross i'm actually buzzing the serious fight i'm not even messing the back and forth they've had the amount of times has rescheduled it's all going down in my hand yeah it is all going down in the land going back in james color i think he's going to get the job done uh i think this time instead of being a rare naked chocolate he's going to get a guillotine at this in this fight and i could see him getting it done in the second round i don't think he's going to have a daddy easy like connor's obviously his background in boxing i watched one of his documentaries there just to see what his real crack is and he's like used to used to work with like autistic kids and stuff like he has like his mom's really sick and he's been looking after all the stuff and he's coming from a council estate and like his backstory is just like oh my god like i mean this guy deserves something good to happen you know i mean like and then like this could this could be one of their moments for him where it's like this was the moment where he got his big thing you know this is a big break it is this big break man it's not like and it's just like i never knew what kyle was before this he's obviously coming off a huge win and in his debut against a former cage warriors champion and then like this this one this could this is one of the employees where if he wins on saturday the next morning his life has changed i think definitely yeah definitely a win over james gallagher definitely will do wonders for him but i mean it's just that's just the way it is i'm sure all the sunlight mma podcasts are just saying kyle's going to win uh charlie was also on the card and also kiefer is on the card this weekend as well uh shadows snake having their shoes on the card as well uh ross you're a doppel you're scottish doppelganger chris bungard don't don't be saying that he lost to charlie and like i'm tim keifer so we can't we can't be him i don't know but when you're when you're when you're the doppelganger you're a doppelganger so that's a spade of spade but uh russ like before we wrap up this week's show and uh people get to watch the interview keefer um what you have to say about this week's show and then what you have to say about the interview that's about to happen uh first you guys i hope you enjoyed this week's show uh obviously we always say we don't want to talk about cards that we don't really like we're knocking on the

doing you're over milan right now getting ready for this weekend yeah i'm in there quarantine at the minute so i got tested this morning we flew yesterday last night and then i got tested first thing this morning so um what happened what happened with that by the way what happened with the flights ah tell you what man [ __ ] what a day yeah so we get on the fly and like if this is a stupid o'clock yeah i got to the airport that like half three in the morning four in the morning go on the flight next of all your mind comes on the [ __ ] mic hey y'all down uh something wrong with the plane we don't know what's wrong with the plane but uh mechanic is gonna come have a look uh that's all i can tell you is right now so sit toy that's basically what you said yeah so i'm sitting on the plane like everyone starts freaking out the plane's [ __ ] broke now yeah so two hours ago boy you are still sitting there like [ __ ] agents and then we have to get off the plane so like we got off the plane and then they just canceled the floor so he just booked me all floyd's over and there we got last night was just that big rigmarole of the days i mean it's super bowl yeah we'll poke it we're here now and yeah exactly yeah actually don't be like sitting on that [ __ ] you know i mean like was the car clean was the car clean when you get one when you went and checked on it the car yeah what car well you're not getting the car cleaned at the airport no no so for example yeah the car valets are moving in the car while i'm away yeah so they're keeping there keeping it in good hands that's cool that's cool so man again you're fighting a key for wait uh this weekend you'll find whatever weight you want but uh he seems to get his own weight class in bellator the only man in bellator of his own weight class two right so uh charlie leary this weekend what what do you make of him as an opponent they're good opponent uh originally it was sorry i'm back and he pulled out so it was a lightweight free i am i know i'm i could make a little i could actually make lightweight today to be honest i actually really coached on me weights low i'm lean as [ __ ] and i'm eating i'm still eating a lot of food so um i actually could make lightweight today so i still have a few days to go hey a certain buck was the first opponent and then he pulled out wouldn't be like me to get a pull out and then they came with him so i i like i like charlie's uh record and stuff he's a lot of fights and the first thing that clicked in my head was that he has so many fights that i just know he won't pull out i mean that was the first thing that came into my mind and then uh he has like three times the amount of professional fights that i do yeah and so i like that as well more experience than me he's tough he's a striker i think he's a good opponent i think i respect him i think he's tough and i think it's gonna it's in the makings for a great for you to be honest and i i'm just posing to get in there especially after the [ __ ] europe after having so far i didn't think i was going to get another fleet and just they even be sitting here i'm just grateful don't i mean that i get to go in there and fight and and earn some money and yeah the only thing yeah people that aren't aware we keep fighting this saturday it's on virgin sport as well on channel 5 if you don't know now you know don't miss it but uh yeah keeper when we had you on the show down in court last time you were saying like sorry i'm back it was someone you definitely want to take on to like move your name up to another level and like that's actually really disappointing to hear that like that he had to pull out but like um now you're funny you can see the law at the end of the tunnel you're fighting them you're fighting this weekend like what is what has happened to your mindset to your training over the last few months because of crown virus because before last time we all sat down with each other crown voice wasn't even a thing and now it's like a real deal like what a what have you changed your mindset and where you want to go your goal now and what sort of performance should we expect for you on saturday um my mindset hasn't changed at all to be honest obviously it was a big kick in the teeth for everyone i mean not not me like everyone around the world was so fun with this it's been on my point but i think you just have to i don't know put things in the perspective like i didn't get sick i didn't none of my family members died i mean none of my family members were in the hospital i didn't have to go through well a lot of people went through you know i mean i am it is you know i know it's it's a bad um voice and stuff but i do think it's getting dragged out now i think there's better ways of handling it and stuff but um for me i'm just focusing on myself i mean beyond a bubble in my mind you know any any great um martial artists or any great and you know focused individual doesn't really focus on anything else other than the task and handling me or more or less live in quarantine anyways my life is quarantine i just go to gym go home go to gym go home and have a food coming up and i put the blinkers on and nothing really affects me so whatever's going on the also the world normally i don't even pay attention to and that's that's been the route to my success obviously when the gym closed and the world stopped it was it was crazy yeah but um again just have the soldier on and that you know you were very were adaptable humans so we just have to [ __ ] rover and uh you know hopefully we're over the worst of them you can actually get back to some sort and normality and just you know machine i mean but right now i'm in milan and i'm four days away from my feet so i mean i'm happy jeremy again as i said it was affected a few months ago but bellator and fairness did them they [ __ ] they pulled you know pulled this out of the back big torn big shout out to him in fairness i felt very safe even coming here we got picked up by a cover team brought to the hotel may do a test isolating everyone's following protocol so you know it's brilliant you know i mean i feel like it's they've really uh they pulled it out of the bag and i'm just delighted to be to be working with them to work for them which i mean it's just that i'm just so grateful to to be here and actually do what i do because a lot of people have lost their jobs and their businesses around the world yes yeah it's been a mad time and it's sad to see that for i'm in a unique position that luke i haven't lost my job jeremy i'm i'm here walking i'm there i'm just very very grateful for that i mean so yeah didn't you did you want to take a month off social media as well a few months i took a few months off yeah [ __ ] just it's it's it's like a the i haven't been off social media journey and since i went on social media ever so i thought like i wonder how it would change if i just went off social media i mean as a person and um to be honest it's michael people always talk about you know ourselves he's making us all depressed and it's making us all this and then so i think the opposite nearly i think people go off and that if they nearly like they don't think they have no friends and they think oh i'm missing out on everything i don't know what's going on with anyone anymore no one's talking to me because everyone relies on it to talk to each other now yeah everyone's [ __ ] sending each other [ __ ] and talking and liking me pictures and this and that and for me like i just had a song obviously in february i just spent time with him spent time in my door and that's i just got into my own little bubble of trains i started doing other [ __ ] literally just by myself turning me in and like with me family and stuff so and then i went back on it and i was like nothing's changed this is the same you know i mean so now i use that more so like yeah like a business tool now more so than just like my every waking moment of my life i'm on social media i'm not i don't scroll i go through [ __ ] all the time and i'm locked on my phone looking at what are people they want to be honest they're just doing my own thing jeremy i put my own [ __ ] up if you like it thanks if you don't i couldn't give two folks i really don't know that's me mine never social media i don't care i don't care what people think i'm just still me and i appreciate everyone's support that supports me and anyone that thinks i'm a [ __ ] or things are he things is this that well they have to really focus on their own [ __ ] and i mean so that's what you think about social media i don't i don't give it the respect nearly that everyone else gives it if that makes sense i mean i'm just build me thing on it and i promote myself promptly for it's i mean i have some good sponsors i get money from it so it's like i just use it as a business deal real life is more important than that that that sums you down to a team oh that keeper [Laughter] but you're also you're also in the fortune position that like you already have a fan base that like you can take the two months off and then come back and you're just right where you started whereas like certain people like just need to be constantly keeping in their people's brains you know so it is a bit of a luxury like for certain people and then but like you've already put in the graph to get into that stage so therefore like you're just getting the rewards of the hard work and effort you know yeah well it's my because like when i went back on social media the amount of people that got onto me and my texting me it was like mental yeah i never like i didn't ex i didn't expect that i thought there [ __ ] messages i was getting off people man i missed you so much and all i was like this is my big like meme the people yeah well i texted me like and then every everyone's like is everything all right with you bro no everything what's going on as they go okay like i'm also going fine i just literally deleted the app for like a few months unfortunately that's the thing like it's nearly like you can't go off social media now because people are gonna like associate that with something's wrong it's like no no it's not even that i think it's important for people to do that and put your time and energy into other [ __ ] not just your phone because i'm telling you man do you know it's actually a good joke on my phone yeah i came up and like it comes up like two hours spent on screen time or for it whatever when you see them numbers and you think about like and you calculate that up in a year's margin the amount of [ __ ] time you spend on your phone is actually scary and if you put them hours into something else i think people will be more successful and i mean i put a lot of time and effort into martial arts and my athleticism and you know like doing it and like i do a lot of other stuff i mean but people don't they just literally [ __ ] go to that job and on the phone and even in that job they're on the phone it's [ __ ] up and that and then even you go through you go to a restaurant you look around everyone's on the phone they're not even enjoying that meal it's like [ __ ] hell when did this happen jeremy and i just kind of clicked them while he had my choice here put it down as much as i can i mean if that makes sense yeah i always think it's important that i put my phone down during like social situations you know i mean definitely like when you're having your lunch across the table from someone at work or mate like it's important not to be head first in the panel definitely no i'm worse than if you are here with someone else on the phone until and they're just looking at their phone like what the what's the point in even being here i mean it's just facetiming yeah yeah you know it's actually quite rude really when you think about it [Music] here keith tell us about the food situation over there now you're inquiring as a room service or what's going on ah the field service yeah so we got an email last week saying this is the menu that you can get to select from right and they [ __ ] burgers pizza pasta chocolate it sounds like the old you this he was like they told you yeah this would be this is perfect daddy this is when i was a fab the [ __ ] they had in the menu was actually like you know yeah you're going there you know after the food to be honest that much so uh i'm again i'm fortunate enough to be in a financial position that i can actually bring my nutritionist with me uh shout out to tristan kennedy he's like the past maybe four fights four flights i've been working with tristan since i started bellator anyways yeah so 40 foot and he's monitored all my weight cuts he's been giving me all my dietary um um information he's been working my natural kitchen ireland today delivering me field every day and i can fly them out here put them in a like an airbnb class boy you can cook deliver my meals every day every time i need them so i don't have to worry about any of that [ __ ] anymore and the way like he has me eating more than i've ever and losing weight faster than i've ever lost so it's weird well i just trust him he's a genius when it comes to nutrition and the science behind nutrition and not just like losing weight like i used to just eat chicken and broccoli for about 12 weeks no i mean i'm not eating not eat for about three days before before you can kill myself on the sauna it makes 77 kilos so big show it's even the way even the way he like makes the food it it looks like artwork it's not just like it's not just like thrown together it's like it it's healthy and like looks lovely i found your story there i was like jesus yeah so i always thought you had a few chops there and i don't even like chops and i was like those chops actually look pretty nice i used to think like red meat and lamb and all these things but i had steak yesterday i used to stop eating steak about six weeks before because i thought our red meat's too heavy in calories and bad fear and [ __ ] i don't know because you just think these things you just you know you know i'm not educated enough to know uh what he knows you know what i mean he's like a [ __ ] genius when it comes to nutrition and there yeah he's a he's a great i said to my trainer and he's uh he's a great man yeah so he's helped me out a lot big shout out to him ever since i've got everything just a random question ever since you've gotten uh your partner tristan so that's been how much time has that been about two years well 2018 the end of something the end of 2018 i'd say yeah yeah so nearly two years like how how much have you improved since uh since you showed us how to met him on the first day to like where you are now sitting in italy like how much have you improved overall ah big time you know i'm not like i've improved obviously and i've made way healthy you know what i mean which i used to literally when i say like nearly kill myself to make the weight you'd be dragging me out of sauna like the boys used to like lift me up over but my eyes would be closed i've been really faint and making welterweight because i was doing it wrong i woke up this morning at welterweight after having six meals yesterday and i i thought i didn't think i was going to wake up that late i was like [ __ ] i'm actually way lighter than i thought it was going to be and i had me out of me like 11 p.m last night and loads of water and i'm eating like [ __ ] loads of food and i woke up on other days i remember the days i'd literally be in the sauna for hours killing myself to make way and just having him around is just unschooling me on things like i mean even me now i'm obviously i am learning every day as well yeah so look about what supplements to take help what sleeping patterns i should do how to take a rest day correctly you know what i should be eating on me rest day and why you know stuff like that what like if i'm having a hard sparring day the night before this is what you eat and the amount of carbs that you need and why carbs and proteins are needed and so all this [ __ ] like that i never would have known you just take it for granted you know what i mean and i think it's for me as well i always try for everything back into my career yeah so i don't just try focus on just oh that's it now oh it should get better and better and he's been a big asean um i just i feel like a better athlete if that makes sense or i mean that's the important part of being a four-year-old as well as being able i think from a physical standpoint as well okay if you actually look like more of an athlete and i've seen you you're definitely leaner than i've seen you ever would say that you're the leanest you've ever been a million percent i got measured the other day and i was a fourth point eight percent body fat turning me in so that's and that's when i got it like uh one of those um decks not a proper dexa scan but it's the second best one to the dexa scan it's like a body track scan measures our water retention our bmw our body fat all that was a 5.8 and that was full of food full of water so as i say on the scales i'd be even lower on there fluidity it's not how much like the science that i got like obviously that like keeper is doing now it's just uh it's a different level to what other people are doing oh yeah it's totally different level but it's not only just a different level in terms of you know the science point but also in the look like oh we follow so many fighters and you see their field and you're just like oh my god that looks so rough yeah clever looks keeper looks like he's eating the gourmet meals every week yeah yeah yeah people to be eating food yeah that used to be made of chicken like a plain breasted chip like what we used to do yeah was chicken and nut butter it was called for six days so you start on the saturday and the weigh-ins are on the friday right so saturday three times a day maybe four times if you're lucky you'd have a plain breasted chicken on the grill and a teaspoon of almond butter and we would have that three times a day for six days that was all we used to eat and then we would water load so literally that was only four km j that wasn't even longer that was there they said that josh planned for it yeah the one with the blood knot but that was always like kicking an apartment used chicken a teaspoon of almond butter and then that'll be at 9am and then at like 4 p.m i'd have a depressed chicken butter and then at like 9 p.m same again go to bed six days imagine doing that for six days that like that was literally your last fight before you went and went about miserable and miserable that that just goes to show you how [ __ ] like i hadn't got a notion what i was doing so now yeah thank god like i tell tristan these things and he looks at me like i'm [ __ ] mental i'm thankfully now i'm in a position that like i have him around and uh yeah he's he's a good lad man he's deadly yeah he's a he's like i said to the team so and you're like 100 ottomans you do want to be competing in the lightweight division or i wanted lightweight for this one i really did like and then obviously whatever uh charlie asked for a catchweight oh he said because he came in he's like oh i can make lightweight and then i was a great [ __ ] we'll get different opponent and then bellator will look nice this is the opponent we'll give you a catchweight so it was a great forget well i even felt like making lightweight maybe on friday just for a boy's book just saying because i'm not making way for me like i'm not making way for them to make away from you i don't oh you can i know i can make lightweight as i said i could make it today i could literally start cooking away right now get the water out of me and i'm i'm on that mean that the water was just flowing on me i couldn't make it away so um but yeah whatever i am this is a lightweight for eating my head so i mean charlie is a lightweight on the level he just couldn't make it this time so [ __ ] it you know what i mean it is worth it who cares anyways that's that's the other thing i thought about that who gives a [ __ ] dude i mean it's a freak no one cares i got it that was 160 though what do you thought as well at 155 a [ __ ] up it's a fight yeah i mean it's a who cares people just want to see people fight and that's it my advice to you uh cave will be take the fight while you kill the fire 160 make 160 you're you know in the middle of the pandemic it's during culver times just take to take it easy make your 160 show up and knock the head off them on the night [Laughter] thank you no worries no worries like you're the mo one of the most known foreigners in ireland for like putting out the spectacular performances and like very exciting points you i mean anytime in the tree are in the face of beating moroccan all the dogs are there uh like obviously like you weren't overly uh happy with your performance in the last fight like i mean you're you're like like that that week could have been a movie for you like i mean like birth your child just all over the place you didn't even know that you're gonna fight like what are we expecting now from kieva crosby this weekend because like um the fans want to know yeah well journal like like the fight is a freak i mean uh at this one see when you say like all these things it seems like god the usual [ __ ] i mean this is the best i've ever been this is the you know all the [ __ ] whatever generic answers everyone always says this is like for me it's it's not only the best i've ever been physically because obviously i'm in serious shape but mentally now i think even coming off the quarantine thing and the whole culvert it did put things into perspective for me i don't know about everyone else but i mean there was one stage there in april i think everyone thought the world's over at stone we're all dead right now jeremy and i didn't even at the start pulling apart him he was like holy [ __ ] hell this is i can't even go two what was the two meat or what was it two meters from the gas no two mirrors that's wrong is it 20. uh i think it was 2k yeah 2k from the golf and i was like that that's mental yeah and then you walk around you see guard everywhere and they're stopping people and they're gonna stop today ah you enforce it and you're like [ __ ] this is like a real thing now this is like the lord i'm getting given everything if i drove to the shop that's 3k that way join me and it's like [ __ ] me this is it kicked in for me and when i thought like we're never going to see the end of this i i thought this is this is it now dude i mean this is getting ready but for now look i'm sitting here i'm just full of gratitude and i'm telling you gratitude is a powerful powerful feeling and a powerful air a powerful thing to have going into it for you anything i'm just grateful i'm healthy and you know as i said i'm getting the free and i'm i'm really happy going into this for you and i'm happy for you is it very dangerous for you and i'm just going to go out there and i'm there just kill them generally i'm just gonna go out there and do what i do best and free hard and as i said i'm coming off two decision wins it's mad because i'm i'm coming off two wins and i'm not happy with them thinking i'm mad but that's just the way i am i'm not i'm not going in here for no decision you know i know he brings the fleet and there i had a tricky fight the last time i'm on a mad hard week but i beat that guy on a really bad week so imagine what i'm gonna do to this guy on a really good week jeremy and it's it's that's the way i'm feeling going into this one and uh i'm just going to go in there and free heart from the bell and troy put these lawyers journaling that's that's what i do best um i'm just going into that mode i'm just going to i'm just going to give her everything i mean like i always do and this would be me 10th professional fight on my 10th professional away and i know people keep saying i mean one i'm knowing no you look at the the disqualification it's my most dominant fight you know i didn't get touched and a man was unconscious after i i laid hands on him and that's it's a for you you know i mean let's let's not call out now it's the [ __ ] for you at the end of the day he was panned out and i strolled off so you're like world star world star exactly so i'm not gonna know this would be me uh tenth victory in a row so ten another one kevin cosby the irish jon jones getting that getting that loss in your record and like not actually like getting knocked out or getting choked out like joe it gets that that burden off your back that people are just constantly going on and on and on about it you know i mean so like it's just like right that's done i can like just carry on my way because like look at pedo costume lost over the weekend like that that could really really affect them it looked like it really affected him before even now but when you lose at that level you can mean you're talking about you're losing against the best fighters in the world you know what i mean it's like there's no shame and that ah oh so when people say oh that's going to affect it's power cost the safer yeah it can't defect them he lost against the bloke who's 19 and all he was literally like the best middleweight in the world that we've seen since anderson silva in his crime so there is no shame in that you walk up you dust yourself off and his next fight will be like a top five again he'll probably win and then you try again it's like there's no shame and like someone had to lose and yeah it was his time to lose that point there's no shame in it israel is a [ __ ] beast and not only that he's young and he's coming into his prime so when you think about when you're losing to him there's you have to just go fairness to him you're you've got people with the best in the world not some little harm head that hadn't got a clue and he just you know i mean like if you lose against an o and four [ __ ] bloke that like it has a belly on him he's been doing mma six months and you're like all right man i'm right here to really really really great voyage i mean that's waiting so anna and again that's all bollocks from the media and the fans the media will the fans will say oh it's time to give it up oh it's this and that but [ __ ] all them durian you do you and you just as i said the media always say oh keepers eight and one they can say that i'll be [ __ ] monster you show me proof that i lost that fleet that's not a loss maybe call it you can call it dq or you can call it a no contest for i did not lose anything you know what i mean that that man that man was unconscious and get up didn't get off the floor and i i walked off not a global aid on me so you know i think they need to change that rule that if you throw we'll call it an illegal strike or whatever and you knock the person out it should be a no contest it shouldn't be disqualification it's qualification would be if you're like you kick someone in the box 10 times or you're there like poking the eye you're gouging their eyes out like that should be a disqualification you lost you cheated and like an illegal strike that wasn't thrown intentionally to make it no contest i think that's fair a million percent yeah bring i'm allowed full mount and elbow to head off you're 20 times in a row but i can't near where your knee is on the floor like what is this you know i mean this is just stupidity jeremy so i think yeah and yeah but i do agree with you exactly there's a big difference between making a mistake and doing something illegal pointing someone mma phone you're like oh hold on a minute you know what i mean you attend you bit that man's ear off i'm not gonna you know you don't get four minutes to rest after that okay dq oh i need you to deploy toys go all over the world they they do in japan obviously they they're cleaning up in europe and like they're in america as well you've previously fought in america like obviously james is on the card as well they really want to give him push in america as well they go where did have they told you anything that like where you could be possibly fighting next like do you think you would be fighting again in milan um or like how quick return or do you think you'll have like what sort of is what would the ending at the end of the year pan out like for yourself yeah well a little birdie told me that you have a show in december in america and i'd like to fight moral story on that show so that's my game plan yeah that's my plan i'd like a big like when i say big name if you look at the numbers and you look at the name i'm a bigger name so but he has credentials that i'm interested in he was in the ufc he's a load of fights he's beaten some big names he's coming off some decent wins so i want the fight escort there's no point that me keep harping on about i want to be the best in the world when i'm not fighting these people that were so called in the best free the best in the world and being people like big names so i want to i want to free people like him so moyle's jury in december would be my my goal yeah didn't he beat benson henderson in the tree area no he lost another another name that i'd like to fight and test myself against a former ufc champion don't vote him i like him [Music] your contractor are you allowed like because i was just listening to the bash with pt carl and the normal grab they had their command and arthur and keep signing like one fight contracts because like he wants to be able to like do bare knuckle or like uh fight boxing match like with your contract with better tour are you are you solely just mma or could you even do kickboxing with him or could you do a boxing match because obviously conor put out today that he's after inviting dustin poirier to fight in the 12th of december in the trailer is that something you'd be allowed fight on or you could arrange to be on i'd love to yeah i don't know to be honest i'd love to though i'd love to i'd love to have a few bear knuckle scraps yeah and i wouldn't mind the fighting pro boxing but again again like time time you know i mean my time right now is mixed martial arts world champion and uh general i'm saying like conor has achieved everything in mma he's like literally he's the champ champ champ champ i mean i've lost the amount of world toils that man has won whiskey as well he's that yeah exactly he's the whiskey champion so i mean at the end of the day i haven't achieved what i wanted to achieve in mixed martial arts yet so there will be times where i will hopefully cross over and box professionally maybe even have a few brand new scraps if the cash is right and do all of these things yeah but right now mixed martial arts world champion i'm still only i'm still only very young in this game and i'm still only scratching the surface as i said this is only my 10th professional fleet sure i'm saying so we'll think about that further down the line definitely but right now it's all about mma to me it's because there's just a lot there's a lot of like uh people talking [ __ ] online the way there's like uh like even mike tyson's back and then there's like youtubers like they're calling dylan danis and everything and like you're just not involved in this you're just slowly like being like i want my next flight and keep building building building which is uh it's pretty cool to see to be honest you know i think it's yeah look i understand how important fame is for business i understand how important and following is and you know all that i understand it yeah i get it i 100 get it but lock me in a room or lock me in a cage with these [ __ ] idiots yeah that that keep how big are following don't get me wrong they have big huge followings and they listen to that and they're youtubers stars and all these bollocks lock me in a cage and don't put no timely money and just say read for you and whoever wins wins and i guarantee not one of them would ever win ever because they're not on the mat every day they're not the only extra bits in the gym they're not sacrificing their life to do one on their own they're not on the mats asking the hardest person in the gym to do 10 rounds oh let's do jiu jitsu with this black belt every day let's do boxing sparring with this high level boxer that's they're not doing that what they're doing is they're creating noise and that's good and it's important then i get that and respect fair play well if you want to be remembered as oh remember that guy i had 2 million followers and he was sponsored by this i mean i remember he had like two fights and he [ __ ] off and if that's your opposed respect i get it jeremy and i get the whole thing we need that but then there's other people like me that are real four years and i've been doing this since september and i've been doing this 12th dedicated nearly 20 [ __ ] years and we lost to martial arts at this stage not dedicated i've got more dedicated as the years went down obviously when i got older but i've been doing this [ __ ] a long time so i have to stay true to that as well i'm a martial artist i'm a foyer yeah i'm building myself with my social media and [ __ ] but my sole purpose is to be an mma world champion these logan paul [ __ ] aren't going to be no like world champion yeah and don't get me wrong yeah for you mayweather and do all that make some money and people will tune in and i'll probably look at it as well like [ __ ] when it comes down to the fight and it comes down to what you'll be remembered boy then you know the real the real ones always prevail the real ones always show and there that's that's the the bozo anymore i'm saying like it's that's the buzzer mountain man like my toys in here i mean like another man's gonna have history as one of the greatest scariest best fighters of all time with the probably the best knockout uh highlight in boxing history and you know what i'm saying he won't be remembered as soon little [ __ ] oh i remember them youtube videos where you [ __ ] doing that for the follow and no he doesn't give a [ __ ] he's an animal and he's in his 50s and he still wants to show people i'm still an animal i mean i know you just brought him up but i was i was going to bring like who defense for that fight uh tyson's return against uh willie jones i'll never account there so he's my childhood hero see the line in my head i always have on my feet that's to pay homage to mike tyson yeah if it wasn't for my police and i don't even think i'd be fighting but you know what i mean professionally i i grew up on toys and i mean he was my childhood hero i've never met poison i don't know what the [ __ ] yeah yeah because he was in dublin i remember i remember those pictures kind of went to go me and it was i think i was away when that was on in the pokemon yeah i was awake i was sick yeah it was like a key on air okay i had a i'd love to meet holiday yeah i will meet him someday definitely i'll talk to probably even go on his podcast yeah oh that's a great podcast that is a great one for him i just sit there that would be one yeah that's that's the goal the toys in wrench knock off those people brothers collect that 155 pound belt on there who knows the world is your oyster then boyfriend the world is your oyster yes bro that's the plan 100 100 well kevin just before we wrap things up like you know obviously ever
