[Music] en sh up the Irish time okay what's going on guys and welcome to a brand new episode of energized brought to you by Forest Irish St Ross are you intoxicated or something introduce their guest man today we are bringing you the UFC Bantam away from Ireland everyone's favorite lock round brother it's kayin kayin how you doing board good lad how are you yeah not bad not bad Kaylin H you're back booked in UFC Atlantic City you know you're repping that that uh Irish flag for the 135s uh how much forward how much are you looking forward to getting that job done in there H I can't wait lot I cannot wait to send this into uh the other night if you're a football player or you're some like other sport you might take a loss and the next week you compete again you go out and you're back in the wind column and it's you're going to move forward but in fighting it was September 2nd the whole way through to March 30th walk around in my in my opinion walk walk around a loser like you're as good as your last one so that's uh that's not easy it's good it's it's a good it's a good one way when you're training stuff but it's not easy so really really really really looking forward to compete I uh I can't wait I can't wait obviously you just said there you felt like you're walking around a loser and uh you've not really been a loser at any stage in your life uh obviously your fight before that you you were lifting World titles above your head H how much effect did that loss have on your mental health none absolutely none with fact with mental health but uh it's was just uh it's not like I have watched back Tas fight I think it's a very good argument that I won the fight if I'm being 100% honest people talk about damage but he actually didn't do any damage in round two or three at all there's no there is no damage like but if you think you won I'm not salty let it was a close fight I understand you think he would have no arguments but it more of the performance H I didn't fight well of course it was a change of very different style which isn't ideal but still uh I didn't I didn't perform well and that's just h no effect on no no no effect on my mental health that but like H just air hitting just uh I just want to comp l i I want because I say I've been out TR the UFC guys recently been over in America stuff I know my level I know how I can handle it handle us see B it's like it's just H that doesn't matter one one bit the gym doesn't matter one [ __ ] cage Warriors to me there that winning that title is like maybe when I'm 60 I can look back on that but like at the minute that's man it's the UFC and has always been the UFC you know I'm not here like to [ __ ] be a Mike Perry or a [ __ ] Kevin Holland and people laugh at me in the ways but I get well I don't win that's not that's not what I'm about l so I just want to compete and I want to win I I I want to win I'm all I'm I'm all business this time no [ __ ] talk I don't say up don't say I can but like in the to the last fight like the way you sold it was just like so entertaining like the whole country was like like for the people that didn't know yet they were like who's this guy and I'm definitely tuning in to watch him but then obviously you had like a short notice like replacement like when that happens on F week before your UC debut like like what sort of ghost are your head no I was thinking [ __ ] it I'll beat him no problem so I was thinking her I should have known ter LA to be honest I don't know why I didn't know him he' been in the US I know every bate like regionally on us see I don't know why I didn't don't know why I didn't know him I should have known him H I talk the I I was well actually was relatively short it was my us day was five weeks in of itself but at a training camp I Tred to go I wanted to compete when I came to the Tuesday I was like [ __ ] it if you don't bring in Sean M I'll fight him no problem fight anyone in this division tomorrow no problem so I had no doubts that b him it wasn't ideal in hindsight I probably should have been more [ __ ] nervous for him but uh not ideal not how I like to prepare um I like very specific and that's one thing of taken from Henry out there is how we're doing K is correct how specific he prepared Was preparing for morab was really cool really cool to see so when the point like if he's doing this Camp from morab now if you just a switch up in your fighting I don't know def say [ __ ] Cory Sagen it would definitely throw him off you know what I mean like it's not and I was saying the guy run and he missed weight on the he run on because he never he signed a fight for UFC bate but he never fought bate ever this guy in fighting has never fought a bate his Instagram bio the we were saying is UFC feather it yeah he's come down from late with on his Contender series at FEA it he looked like death warmed up like I don't know is it going to happen again I hope not but if it happens it happens you what I mean at least at least you'll be used to it then yeah and that that is one thing uh kind of touch on like some people obviously youut you know you have big uh grapefruit balls on You by getting in there and fighting some of that at at the last minute because week we've seen it before like we've seen you know Jon Jones one of the greatest all time you know he was supposed play John Henderson that UFC 151 and then he turned down H CH on at last minute so and again like there like obviously different skill sets but like they they were both sort of wrestling backgrounds and he still turned it down because it was a different fight so you know you have to say fair play to for getting in there with the change of opponent and a harder opponent as well a much harder opponent that last much harder opponent uh honestly I've got two bonuses from the UFC discretionary bonuses like surprised since the part like in the month two months after the par show for taking it which was cool two so they won't no my coach didn't even know like nobody told me about it was [ __ ] deadly just your bank count woke up and locked at the [ __ ] bank account twice [ __ ] and one more for the bad guy well then I know you've got this fight and for being 100% honest Angelo was tough not overlooking very tough guy but he lost in the contender series like so I feel like that decision was the correct decision had I have turned down terapis and then there was two three fights down was relying on that I got the Wonder Bo sh cat treatment do you know what I mean 100% no question so I'm happy I made that decision I could be sitting here one and0 with a win over Yannis gamore who by the way has taking another fight as at Bantam what the [ __ ] is that about why would they do that I could be sitting here one and0 a lot of hype after beating yianis kamor maybe get another good fight keep then to go down the Lan and fight someone like a San haen and I haven't learned the lessons that I learned from the lais fight I'm H bman for and I'm very happy it happened very very very happy it happened well that's that's good to hear uh Kayan then after the fight um you're after going over to tray M Henry Cudo in fight ready in Arizona how did that come about uh so we have guys coming to K all the time there boys there's Boys in Fr new boys coming this week three Italians come for this camp for me now from from Bator uh and there's a guy in he's like a mutual friend taon Williams he's a division one all americ he's five and0 Pro now I believe M memin Masters and he was training over there and uh he was talking about howu was taking him in for morab and stuff and it was like back and forth and then he got then I was trim him and he got Santino on to me he's like you want to get this guy in basically and uh that just came then I started matching stinos like would you could could I come and stuff like this here and then I did and they put me you know L were so like I my expectation for a gym like that was I'll go out there it's probably if you're like if you're a Welter something's probably kill Cliff if you're my size I'd say that's probably the best gym in the world at the minute to be honest some of the name like it's crazy my expectation was I'll get unbelievable rounds no one will give a [ __ ] about me they won't put any time in me but I'll be pushing myself against UFC fighters all the time I couldn't have been more wrong it was purely it was the like well first of all they put me in house in Parise volley for a month which is [ __ ] nuts for free which is like so good to them then I would train Santino would see how much like I'm actually listen to him like I want to learn I'm here with just open mind I'm here to just get better and I would practice what he was doing so he would put a lot of time in me the session would end and then they would take me for one to ones in the evening or one to ones after the class one the one coaching it was h i was unbelievable and then as said it was a lot of UFC guys a lot of UFC BS and flys got to show my level to them guys got to mix it up and stud and just trying just just trying level up L I'm really happy on it you know what I mean really really happy on great experience one of the things I'm really happy when I went but I'm also really happy St on I'm back with my team and car I mean yeah and then Ross like Henry cejudo is known for known for his coaching like obviously he's back now he's going to be fighting in UFC 298 but uh he's known for his coach o like uh like so like Russ when when you when when you saw Ken go over there like what were your expectations first of all I thought about like the two personalities going Toe to Toe cuz uh you know you have you have the the king of cringe versus like one of the realest guys you'll ever beet like you know Kayla Kayla tells how how he sees it you know what I mean so I was like I want to have like an on starwise but I always knew H say what you want about uh you know K Colin St you know I mean and I've heard from people who aren't his coach just they say he's a tough [ __ ] and they say he works hard that's the two things I always hear when I hear coaches talk about K LR and uh I knew if he's going over there he's going to put in the work and like you said he wants to be a sponge over there so I was buzzing to see it um did you did you get to get many rounds in with with the the champ champ not too many because get very specific but uh it was good because the first day I landed I goes when when we sporing when we sporing like because I I is one of my favorite fighters ever like I didn't say it to him in person like and we we sat there and we're talking about who's the greatest of all time and he wanted me to say him but I didn't say I made an effort to I even say Demetrius but I was kind of thinking you are one of the best he is one of my favorites yeah but uh this is going truth I landed I go when we Spa he goes oh you don't want this smoke you don't want this smoke and then for like three days then I was just he be he got he got quite to be honest cuz he was like one day he was like facing his coaches and I was coming down during the class I goes as he kept pointing to the Keys and go let's go let's go and he's getting thick of me but uh no there a lot to taking even like conversing with a guy like who's been through what he's done watching him drill watching him leave the mod go do his S andc no he uh he was good to me now and uh they all were the coaches it was uh really like Santino and the boxing coaches and all those guys that were good then the guys he had in for the Olympic Olympic R and stuff I got good rounds with them guys I was in with UFC B every every day so now I was it was good but uh glad very glad they back team K preparing for this G you know what I mean very very glad the team I've got two questions for you Ken like first one is would you go out there again a train and second of all did Henry give you one of them cushions with your face on it h no he didn't uh I would def I will go out again 100% but I'd say I'd want it I'd want it be a distance from from a fight if I'm going to be honest I like preparing how call prepares h a lot some people just find a click and I have my click and C four corners but h no he didn't to be honest he's not he's quite he's quite civil in person so he's not really like that he's not really like that uh he's not going to walking in [ __ ] cushions is he the the cring comes out during fight week yeah yeah yeah no I'm a big fan of him and uh you could see this some of the like the the effort he puts in the prepare for a fight is H ahead of the game ahead of the game like colum was always on the tell and Tom to like Source guys from around the world and was paying that good de and he I was living with them like it was crazy so uh now he's he's in the position he's in through hard work and intelligence like it's no FL I mean yeah no like no one ever doubts his work e think as well like you don't become an Olympic gold medalist and then a champ champ like me like my TR hard oh man I love it um did did team KB recently get done up as well K oh it's completely so we've come together with four corners but that's been about a year now so like John Gilly you see like Liam hor and all these guys come in the gym strike but uh they've doubl in size they had one like huge floor they literally double it the bought the floor beneath the m is the setup is like literally amazing like amazing one of it probably is the best G ever been in h but I been going out since Christmas the literally double the size War it's class class setup now yeah no it looks great yeah it's unbelievable h b I need to know this we're talking about on a you were asking K what he preferred and there was reason behind it and I was in the dark so what's this all about oh yeah I actually near forgot fair play to no um from watching kayin stories on his way home from Arizona God K in he obviously booked in uh the flo to Manchester so I asked kayen where is his favorite Manchester in England or in America can you tell us the story both [ __ ] hoes I said I [ __ ] do you know what it was that I was [ __ ] I was going the start first week of January I what it was the fourth or something I was going from Dublin I com straight from Christmas Dublin to Phoenix Arizona so I went I booked it and I went Dublin to C like Charlotte Cleveland this we tiny [ __ ] airport Charlotte Cleveland to Phoenix Happy Days and on the way down I was in about L Direction going to Dublin and my go [ __ ] you need to you need to get your left home for American Customs or your flight home to prove you not like stand legally boo it what a Google [ __ ] Phoenix to Manchester so there was [ __ ] Phoenix to this be same [ __ ] airport Charlotte Charlotte to Manchester I thought [ __ ] I'm saving myself a couple hundred quid here ended up in [Laughter] Boston go I to spend the extra day in Boston then cost me a fortune I got from Boston to Manchester R but we made it anyway ah canly that was that that was as we would say sloppy but a costly ER I'm not gonna lie oh stop I'll take cost few quit as well costly super shl look did you get a few rounds in Sean Brady while you were there no do you know where I did go though Peter Welsh Jim in in Boston so I've actually look I've looking to go there for about [ __ ] 10 years so it actually every CL is silver lining it was deadly it was a deadly deadly gym deadly to see it most expensive training day of your life it literally it literally cost me about a grand to go to that gym but it was worth it [Laughter] unbelievable stuff unbelievable stuff but uh Kay tell us this what do you know about your your opponent this time out and uh does he offer you much I know obviously he fought in the contender series he's lost probably very lucky man to to be get getting an opportunity to F someone like yourself um I'm 0 And1 Lads I'm in no one position to be called or de I am I said it I'm a loser here minute that's my mentality towards is I have to win I think it's the way I should be approaching it honestly like should should I be losing this kid no I should not be losing this kid should I have a tough fight with this kid no has he got holes yes is he a bitable yes but I'm an own one last I listen actually listen interview him and he disrespectful of me I thought come on here like you I've earned my place here have you truthfully you got your best attribute was he got he's good at getting a [ __ ] hidden in the in the contender series but uh I'm own one Lads I'm just here to win you know what I mean I'm here to [ __ ] start the show what I can do and uh I have never been I'm like measured but coming after coming home and being with UFC guys every day and seeing how far some of the some of the best bandes there are I've never been more confident in my life got like a bz about me in the gym with minute I just I'm happy um but I'm also very very very aware that I'm on one and I have to show it on fight night so I can be the best in the [ __ ] world the next eight weeks what matters is March 30th at about 800 PM Atlantic City time and I I'm going to shine I'm going to shine that's it yeah no we we agree like that's why people tuning in now have to make sure to check out k f on March 30th in Atlantic City and so Reese mck is going to be in the card as well so like Irish IRS are going to be Glu to this one Ross yeah absolutely yeah my final question for you K on is H do you have a walk out tun and will the UFC actually bother to play for you this time you know what I don't hold that the UFC if I had a won that have been the best promotional tactic ever if I that no Walker that been that have been so sick but I'm going with dreams Crown I was meant to be the walk out originally but uh you know what l i that was that was the best experience in my life like see sitting when I was home at Christmas and I sitting me like at at the bar talking with [ __ ] that walk out like 20,000 people is I'll take out to the Grave like so I actually thought you did it on purpose at the time I was like I was I was like oh that was such a cool move like what a move I know it plan but honestly didn't I didn't know was happening yeah I thought it was like the way remember Darren t he was fighting was he fight thought the Apex was that was that Apex are you sure that was in the Apex yeah yeah the Apex no was it not for o no it yeah yeah so there was no fans there so um there was no he didn't walk out any tune but kayin you're obviously a very busy man we like we want to thank you for coming on the show like you know myself and Ross big fans yourself H is there anything else you want to say to the people tuning in that are going to be watching you fighting atantic City but uh no just tune in and everyone remember what you
