the champ the home weddi and the challenger damian mckenna lads how are you doing how's all me all good oh all is good all is good now home you were on the energized face-off show the last time you came out for clown wars and won the belt and what do you think of damian mckenna as a challenger to be really honest i don't know to go yet i've never heard of him um nothing disrespectful to the guy i just i just don't know and even i tried to put it up and i tried to search him up uh even the internet explorer couldn't find him so you'll tell me that's real that's not as ruthless well damien won last weekend or two weekends ago a cage legacy 15 a he won boy second round stoppage uh that he represented uh ireland over the oim off so he's uh been around a bit there damon what do you make of weddi well i'm pretty similar actually my coach told me that uh got offered the clown wars title fight and i didn't even know there was a champion of time where's the fellow with after dora vacated i thought it was still vacant so i'm gonna put it hanging looked up on youtube and saying that they fought lewis and that's only if i thought i've seen of worry so some okay there you have it two boys aren't that familiar with each other and basma are you surprised oh yes he's very familiar with me on the channel the division you can't not be familiar with me didn't even know what your name was there and told are you so bro yeah yeah yeah for me yeah for the people tuning you think you're a striker i'm going to show you i'm going to hit streaky i'll do whatever i want you moving a straight line bro you don't know what a stroker is you're a boxer you're a bleeding we should give you the helmet that day also i mean you're used to the amateur boxing foot we are not i thought you didn't know who he was but now you know he's a boxer well he's out there telling me he's a boxer he said that he did say that yeah maybe you should rewind a man he's all asleep on what's happening here no oh i'm i'm wide awake but i don't miss trick and this is the energy show we're on top of things here that's right yeah but that's why this one happens clown wars 22nd of may uh if you want to purchase the event you can go onto the home's instagram he'll have the link to purchase pay-per-view and damien as well you can check out damian's instagram to purchase pay-per-view russ i can't wait for this scrap already bud forward yeah what's called that big big fights need big shows and here we are and the home how many more flights do you think you want to have before you turn pro because uh but sound things you sound like you're near ready to make that jump yeah uh absolutely i was thinking maybe two three fights my last week i wasn't really happy with it it didn't go the way i i planned it with i still got the win i still pulled it off and of course that was after two years layoff so i'm gonna there's few errors that i'm making still i'm gonna have to sharpen up a little bit and then yeah pro pro is where i should be going and then you fought i think five times since uh the home last fight do you think that activity is going to go in your favor going into this fight yeah definitely every single fight to get anyone more more sharp more used to it like i know you still haven't bring your helmet that day bro huh all right he still had plenty of fights anyway so it's not like it's a debut or whatever but i definitely like being in there as much as possible is going to suit me definitely hello and then go guys tell me this sometimes i hear in the amateur scene the toil doesn't mean much too much to anyone and home you obviously love having that belt and carrying around does that melt actually mean something to you or is it just a noise accessory for you of course it does it's it's not the belt it's it's what it means it's what it's what i've accomplished that's yeah of course but i'm not really dwelled into it what i care about is my performances and how i'm upgrading every day that's what really matters to me as i said before it's not about the build for me it's about my performances and my last point i didn't perform the way i really wanted it but it can still be it still topped the opponent so that's that's all i care about this time around too and damon what about yourself what would it mean to win that clown wars featherweight oil yeah well i made my debut last year on clown wars and i said as i said yesterday one amazing day you made your clown wars debut last year made with mma debut last year i'm already than you that have been added longer than you so that means nothing to me whatsoever but yeah i said as an amateur i wanted to win the belt um but it's just another phase as well okay there's no point dwelling on the belt too much now you said you know you weren't that impressed with your performance last time i know you had a bit of a layoff beforehand but you still came away with the win what what about your performance last time in clown wars were you not too happy about you know like there was a lot of people talking about it was a split decision and in my opinion i outstruck him i took him down i got i put him in more danger than he even thought of so to me there shouldn't even be i should have stopped that for you that's the way it was here i'm very critical of myself so very not happy with the fact that i didn't get the stoppage number one and number two for the judges to even think was a slick decision win you know i should have made it a little bit more clearable anyways we will get government and the two years er layoff of course uh made me a little bit they slowed me down a little bit from what i felt but i'll correct that this time around and you've obviously been very active this year you're on a 2-4 win streak in 2022. like what what are you looking to bring to the cage that the home probably hasn't seen yet just i know i'm better than him wherever if he wants he has good kicks in his last fade he was able to use his range well against lewis but i'm a lot taller and longer than this he's not going to be able to keep me on the outside as much as he'd like to do if it goes to the ground i'm gonna wrestle them keep them down i'll do whatever i want to be honest i'm excited for this one for people tuning in now like let like make sure you let everyone know to tune in to clan wars 44 may 22nd ross like we can't wait for this event no way yeah bosmo and the home one thing i want to get to is obviously we haven't seen you as much you weren't happy with your last performance what can we expect this time out and what's changed since the last time we saw you in the cage i expect the same thing just a better performance i'm going to walk forward still he's going to be pressured back i feel like he's he's saying he's on pisa he's well better than me everywhere but i guarantee you he's gonna look far away he's not experienced enough to possess anything that's the way i feel about him no disrespecting a guy i genuinely don't know the goat they're going so i can't i'm trying to to be respectful and that's just the way i see it he i don't think he has any way of doing anything but of course our four years are for you i'll still respect them and you know what i mean if if your granny caught you with a shot that you didn't see it could have been it can be an early no you understand that i'll respect that and uh that's just how i feel about him shout out to all the grannies and i know you say he's less experienced but he actually has more fights than you over uh what's called in that shorter time in mma do you feel like you rely on your other martial arts experience that you've actually been encompassing for a longer period of time say that again there's more mma fights than you have how many voices does he have he has six seven yes six is not six is not more than 14. oh oh sorry i'm just going to start maybe here's energy you need to get your fights really if you're going to come at the king maybe yeah so you know your record says maybe read the fight so forget about that grand social opening it's going to be happening in crosstalk's 22nd film dublin 11 composed production music studio is happening so you can come on may 4th i don't really know what that means but i know your record says yeah i don't even know what you're talking about telling me that he has six votes like you need to count the numbers i have 14 points he has six points well what's your recommendation you tell us what you tell us what your record is then here online says five and one second nine says five and one and damon's record online says five and two yeah maybe online is not right then but i have more fights than him so he's in trouble me that was no disrespect we're just going by the numbers online but that's good that's all right and um shout out you're an idiot we're opening up again it's it's a sweet music just like my foot is going to be may 22nd i mean you'll be performing about yourself kill me yeah you know me i'm a performer boys come on damien are you looking forward to uh come on all right well maybe maybe uh the guy is filling out topology for ireland for that brussels yeah shout out to apology lads we are we are very thankful for two years coming on like there's nothing that we love doing more than promoting irish mma like you too loud it's like you're going to be scrapping for the title i clown wars 44 may 22nd i said it already check out the holmes instagram because you can check out his tunes for may 1st and also a spy for may 22nd and damon mckenna may 22nd check out his instagram damn if you've got any music to push or anything else you want to play no i'm not that's musically gifted i don't know how good your music will be either please bear in your trash talking but you see you cry now before we wrap things up how do you get the job done on may 22nd but i'm going to actually be respectful this time around because i i actually like the guy he's not a he's been he's cooperating you know i like that again we might push for a tour down uh or maybe it could be decision this time around i could get her on but i in my head i don't see him possessing anything that i can't i can't do so i feel like he's he's in a lot of trouble and then what about yourself well there's no point trying to protect a round or a minor learning but i think i'm gonna hurt him with my hands he's gonna be throwing lots of kicks and they're not gonna be working on me and he's gonna feel real power in my hands and he's gonna turn into a raster i think he's gonna be shooting he's not gonna be able to take me down um where's first second third round finish or a decision i know i'm getting my hand raised at the end and i well it's on
