man today we have the man the icon he is the owner of Hulan martial arts he is a UFC Legend and he is the coach of the one and only Mama B Shan and Bannon it is the legend himself Patty the holigan Hulan Patty how are you doing my friend yeah all is good man life is good blessed go life is good life is good uh Patty tell us this obviously uh we saw shaa H have fantastic win and we got into that but one one of the best moments I've seen is about 20 people proed around the phone when H shaa was announced that she won a performance bonus did that feel like winning the fight a second time over um yeah po so it's just um it's actually a weird moment kind of had had a moment like that years ago in Canada myself so it's kind of like there nearly like a like I I kind of felt I knew she was going to get the bonus I'd seen it but uh it just kind of watch someone else receive it and like their life change in a way is there was brilliant you know what I mean because as a coach you want people when they put it all in they go all in to to to get the success get the glory get all of the the stuff as well but to get that Financial Security in a little bit like that as well as a it's kind of a we off as a coach as well to see you so see someone get that so yeah that was a special moment to to to see that and the field was good with before as well so it was a good moment all around yeah that that that's the winner that's the winner and tell tell this um was this fight week any different than any other fight week that you have have with cha I felt like she seemed the most confident she'd ever been going into this one did you did you feel that in there H we just focused on on cam basically like being um being a happy fighter basically this time and sometimes life gets in the way for all fighters so you can't help that stuff so you have a plan and then um it can they obvious TR to stick to the plan as much as possible you know what I mean but the amount of stress and pressure that is is is in where you're you're trying to execute that plan um how long is a piece of string when it comes to that in somebody's life you know so uh this point I just felt that Shan was in a good place he was peaceful um when we got to London the day just flew boy um no stress weight was good um yeah so it just it went really really well you know the universe was on our side this time it went very well absolutely and you know you could feel that in her you could see her at way in and then she had the chat with the TNT or BT Sports guys whatever you want to call them and she just seemed very very happy all week and then you know she really feel like I really felt like she lived in the moment this time I I remember the last time she got her hand raised there was that like delayed reaction to be like oh [ __ ] was that me well this time she seemed to really really embracer yeah so that it's it's a big thing um I don't think people realize it until all of a sudden like you're looking down it's UFC on your gloves and it's like you're in the telly now you know what I mean in a way yeah bit of a weird experience so I think she really found her kind of like her her energy level or her kind of like Let it go you know what I mean they control the controllables and uh let go of the stuff you can't control um and then making a lot of decisions basically before we had got to that week as well of simple things who's doing what you know um in that way so you can just know what's going on you're not thinking about anything you're just H living through the week and doing some hot yoga and um yeah so just just kind of getting through it that way so I think this that was that was that was important this week um the week of the f um and we got it down so yeah absolutely and like um as Barry touched on when we spoke to chaa he infly called her you know the captain of the of the Irish women's M May team uh but obviously um you know all the girls have been over to hulahan martial arts numerous times to help sha prepare for that fight how good is it for sha to have number one high level female bar Partners train with but number two to have such camaraderie amongst women's ma in Ireland all sort of band together for Success yeah I think the words you used there is comraderie and and whether it's h male or female I think it's that's so important in this game it's not a team sport but it is nice to have a group of people around that you know that that kind of understand your energy levels on certain days and um like of course it's competitive but there has to be that like I say people say can I do the advanced sparing to me advanced sparring is is being able to to to spar Advanced you know what I mean way sometimes you might have to carry somebody to around sometimes someone have to carry you true around you know but um the difference between that and a fight is that when that blood is in the water that you go for the kill the difference between sparing is that you're trying to get as close to them moments um as that as close to that output as you can as well um without getting hurt so you're you're trying all Camp not to get hurt and then end up on F day which is damage day basically in a way so kind of that relief of not hurting someone else and not getting hurt yourself is gone because it's that's the issue of the or the aim of the game then on that day and then the day after that is recovery so uh if you kind of break it down into that way watching them all get together Spar do their team and then um and just try and guide that as much as as say I can from the outs of like making sure that they they're both getting a thing from as well because a lot of they travel all over different gyms when they come to my gym I to make sure that everybody is looked after the same um it's equal and everybody kind of get something from it which is really important you know so uh I think it's small little island it's been a long time coming that we should be doing that a little bit more there should be a lot of initiatives around um groups like different teams and different groups coming together and sparing more and like we've got a lot we've got light Lads in this country and stuff like that and they should be meeting up at times and and getting training sessions in and and and linking together you know what I mean um a little bit more so for such a small or there's a I don't say a division but it's just not that maybe Initiative for somebody to bring it together again bring it together and I think within the girls shaa has done that yeah I think more cross train in this country would definitely go a long way it would help people build and grow together uh and I'd love to see that especially considering like as you move into your pro career the chance you're fighting those people gets less and less as time goes on and if you are going to fight them like hopefully it's at the very highest level the biggest rewards possible you know and but Patty tell tell us about the actual fight itself because um sea obviously took it out of the hands of the judges but were you shocked I don't know if you've seen this that two of the judges actually gave round one to toar I couldn't believe it blown away like that that that scares me those you know what I mean it just scar me I said this is G and D start coming over here come thought they were going to come harass me boys in the car you [Laughter] know oh yeah you theway what happened with the absolutely plown away and to be honest I was like shaa said to me did I win that round sha always want to know what she won that round and sometimes I think like sometimes it matters but then the idea like no let's just keep doing what we're doing you know so uh it even said to her it came out just like I think you won two rounds with that round to the face is like it's incredible shot to land surely that was like one of the most significant strikes in the in the round as well especi especially when you look at damage like you know I mean like the main the main criteria and like that ABS snapped her head back I was like Jesus she look be standing after that and in volume as well you know what I mean so H China had had more shots I think uh the our opponent had more hands basically but shaa had landed like kicks in different sections as well to to head and body and legs you know what I mean to all Targets so I don't know what was going on there to be honest but I think they it was evidence on that night that people had a little bit of problem with the judging so uh yeah that would have been like that would have been like a hard thing when you think of it so these people are training their whole life there's no consequences for judges and there should be and or they should they should have to literally go to um a press conference after and explain the reasons what they did you know what I mean why they did it's like a jorg an MMA is like the Irish government or something you know what I mean it is you could do what you want make as many mistakes as you want and still get the paycheck all lessons were learned lessons were learned no Les no one's even writing it down but for example they took that round basically say Sha Sha obviously gets dropped in the second round um that's it happens a different way say sha recovers basically gets back to our feet and wins the next round everybody would have been standing there waiting for Shauna to get her hand raised I would feel yeah but then they would take it away because she would have lost two rounds in a row even if she clearly won the third rounds um that four round would have been a big decision in her career and stepping forward so uh really needs to to be to be getting done better than that especially at that level like you know it's not up the road in a in a in an arena somewhere you know what I mean it's the it's the top of but like even uh you know when you watch the fights and like the tweets come up in the corner and a lot of time people are scoring them whatever I don't think there was one uh person who didn't say sha won the first round and normally when the Irish people are fighting me and bar be texting each other during the fights and I be like I be like oh one nil sha and you know I mean and we'd actually I know most people say uh you probably watch the fights with those other sunglasses on if you know what I mean but uh normally like when I'm watching the fights I'm almost like trying to score for the other person person to be like to to be as like you know harsh on the other person as possible to be like I know don't think they W it but like I was like I was like no that was easy one CH like next round let's go you know what I mean um that was insane same it was the same and it usually wouldn't be that confident in New Y look saying like I Tred to be as Bo as possible actually towards you person in a way giv it trying to see through their and but yeah clear one and then getting out of the cage there I was like like we just got to keep going this way and obviously a few of the corrections stay out to the left and um just some of the the corrections that we done in between but uh I was thinking if this continues the way it's going here it's going well you know just got to sharpen some of the the stuff up that she was doing in the fourth round um maybe go back to that side stomp that she was using on the leg right at the start really really good shot um yeah but we would have been she would have ended that Arena if she had got that decision on oh big time then obviously P you were close to the action than anyone when when she ate that head kick and she was dropped that time like did you think that was that was it did did you think she was out any Sage um from from being the corner I don't even remember what I was thinking at that time do you know what I mean I think I was more like oh no like this is that sport you know what I mean where and I was explaining to the guys that were asking me there like it's this kind of sport that you you you could be going really really well everything's going well you make a mistake basically and [Music] um you go left basically then the idea so it doesn't work out your way you don't survive that head kick and you go down into this Darkness this kind of depression this kind of like so so hard because you can't just snap over because it needs it needs need like a wind to snap over in a way trying to explain it but then you have these moments where you come through and on the other side it's everything it's it's everything that money can't boy it's the people who are the most famous actors or the famous sports people in the world are sitting front row to try and get a little that feeling so that's what you're playing for in this game as long as so the obviously the financial rewards and Stu like that is that the stuff you cannot buy is is in there you know what I mean but you're gambling with the the darkness as well you know what I mean because it's not easy to be coming through them stuff so anybody that steps in there gets more respect and um I think the more you stand around the game theor theor you understand that as um like a near like a spiritual kind of like development as well as a as a sport you know maybe more towards the the idea of like people developing through it is is what I'm enjoying more now rather than they're like we win they win kind of thing you know obviously we want them to win all the time but going out there and growing every single time I think is important yeah absolutely it it is important to grow both obviously in terms of skill set and in your own person as well so like and that's that's something that I feel like you you definitely you know push on your your own uh hulahan martial arts disciples you know what I mean you're you're you're big into your character building which is which is great for them and and obviously Sean has show Great Character coming back and getting that armar um it was absolute fantastic armar one or two even readjustments to get a get a finished but uh what What's called what's it like when you see someone who's known for this mad strike and background to pick up that submission win like under your toage because you know Austin arand know she has good Jiu-Jitsu but I feel like you know UFC like the commentary team are sort of giv her background and you know they just love talk better kickboxing background they don't really give her as much mixed martial arts or Jitsu credit but like she knows herself that like we've seen her go to the worlds and we up uh purple belt and we've seen her submit some of the other top Irish women in MMA in grappling competition so like we know her credentials are there but how great is it for her to get narar on the big stage yeah like that that whole moment was like like an under Take Our Moment basically that's the way to explain it you know like back in that kind of energy where you were a kid and and The Undertaker set back up and was just going again that was that moment yeah all got over I think the five second of like and it's still G and credit to the ref as well hats off to the referee sometimes refs can get a little bit of a shock and and jump in you know what I mean where he was on point there um that was good reing um like you see weird things where people are like oh that's not fair she got knock down and then she won by doesn't work doesn't work like that she got hit with a heavy shot it's fighting and he continue and then um the senses come about quick you know what I mean the body's good and then the arms kind of slipping out a tiny little bit and she keeps hold of it crawls it up a little bit and then our opponent makes a a big mistake we drop put putting our weight back down onto our knees um and sha capitalizes where there's been times in fights where she's been that close to getting that Amber and and we've came back and went over and went over it and then this time she did to spin under Ed and kind of stacking herself and yeah able to to execute beautifully but that was a beautiful armar um someone trying to execute that without having being hit with a head kick would be would find difficulty at that level you know what I mean um so H try doing after a head kick as well so it shows that our levels of grappling is there that she instinctively has that OB subconscious um dangerous grappling H even when the the the chips are stacked against her so that's when it matters that's the only thing that matters H Jiu-Jitsu was made for fighting fighting wasn't made for Jiu-Jitsu so it's a it's a great kind of if you land a shot like that on a battlefield and then and then you get your arms snapped off it's the way it goes you know what I mean that's what it was made for in a way so it was everyone knows how good she is at she Jitsu and but she's really really high level and um I think she's going to use that a lot more going forward yeah well it worked didn't it yeah paty can I can I just ask as well the great thing obviously like with you see I know with organizations they have the corner Cam and they saw is all celebrate like but like just can you sort of describe exactly what it felt like when you saw shaa actually get the win there and like and obviously the arena obvious blew up yeah gas absolutely gas um there like there's actually a really good Corner cam the cor everyone's doing their own thing I think the corner basically I literally just jumped up and Leed it over there like I don't even know what I was doing over there but I just leg over there just to jump and then Gary R is's having a heart attack as you can see just Bon is being C Martin Bannon you know he's definely the the buffer between I think me and Gary to stop the whole place from going on fire you know what I mean so yeah it's it's a good mix of of people but if your corner is not celebrating like that are they read to your corner yeah yeah that's true that's you don't want too much of an emotional thing where everybody's just really really nervous but the idea of like when it goes L Let It Go and yeah it's beautiful it's beautiful like to see not just to see sha like that but to see see someone raise that flag you know what I mean I get that win for Ireland as well as a is kind of cherry on the cake when it happens yeah ex yeah absolutely and then sort of touch on that Patty obviously you're you're a man who's made a lot of history in the sport support yourself um you're a massive historian across like Irish culture and Irish history and like I suppose now every time shaa Bannon makes that walk um she'll continue to break your good friend Ashen dy's record who's a massive supporter of her as well what's it like knowing that like every time shaa she gets her hand raised she has another fight she gets a knockout gets a submission she breaks a record every single time she makes that walk now yeah I think is incredible with um with being blessed to be involved with with with women's MMA as close as we have been for especially for the level that it's been a h two of erland's H sta Fighters basically have made it to the UFC level we've got to I've got to watch that rise and and be part of some of it so it's a it's an actually honor to be able to be to say that um but to see the the the the way that like even Ashton has laid that up basically watching what she had to do back in the day to to to get where it is and then to see where the whole sport is now and then to see someone as strong as um as Shauna and as honorable as Shauna to be able to notice that as well um and and give her honor back to to Ash as well for that you know what I mean it's like passing to Baton um but yeah so when you're going out there and you're you're not just fighting for financial you're not just fighting for legacy you're fighting for history you know what I mean you're fighting for putting one on the scoreboard on the history for scoreboard the folklore for your own family's name basically with it with the TR call is a no pressure know I mean no pressure you know but it's just one of them things that yeah like what's bigger than that you know we go through this life and we think about like where our where our body's gone and and how our body looks and stuff like that all but that other stuff is like is beyond time you know like you don't have any pockets in your grave as the saying go so H but you can't bring that stuff with you you know what I mean they're accolades and um even if people don't like you they can Den know that stuff you know so it's one of them things so it's massive history is is a is is a massive thing and been able to put your name beside it every single time you walk out there now was it's incredible yeah well P that was absolutely that was absolutely beautiful to say that man that was that was well look the name H and da and ban will be in orig May folklore for a very very long time to go H and look long may the success continue so I suppose um shaa touched on fight week saying that she'd like to get out you know four times this year do you think that's uh achievable and attainable I know obviously uh she'd like to do that and she's probably fit and healthy enough to do that but do you think the UFC schedule will allow for that I don't know see shaa wants to fight every single weekend basically um as and and it actually suits to go like that because the momentum is brilliant you know what I mean she just yeah the the season opens up we suppose in kickboxing and stuff and I've said to from the start MMA is like is a heartbreaker you know it's like so heartbreaking you're getting a fight and then it's off and then it's on and it moves a lot slower basically um I think especially for pros H in in the country outside the UFC level because we nearly always have to be gone to somewhere else basically there's no real um kind of massive Dublin show that say even fighters from Dublin are able to to to be building themselves on like back in the day that that was really going we show as like the the Beast are being brought in you know what I mean so it is a for for for for years in that way um but then UFC level um your opponents are there and it's so spread around the globe as well that can happen any any any any any any minute for you if you're ready you know um I think four times would be a stretch but uh I'm not going to deny that you know so maybe I I would love to see again out h two two two maybe maybe three by the end of the year and if it was possible the opportunities to come up um for but I just want to see her develop a little bit more and and and and take our time as well um so yeah she has time she allows of time yeah she definitely does she definitely does and I suppose that's the other thing you know I mean and like me and bar are probably more guilty than anyone you know mean anytime an LA person gets a hand raised in the UFC we're we're rushing through a toilet shop you know what I mean but uh no I think uh it' be great I I think if she did have three or four more uh wins this year um I I think then you sort of start looking at the top 15 and having having a look at those guys there it's hard not to when you when you win three or four on the Trot that's just the territory you end up in yeah and also Shan a star power as well the UFC can see that as well she's two on the Trot now so even even two a three more on the TRU you know so with five on the TR the divisions are are small enough and as I said opportunities come around but it's just about uh the preparation to take them opportunities when they come as well is important you know and um yeah like fighting Combat Sports is a mad sport you know it's just um I was watching the end of George Foreman last night and even after 20 years when he comes back and wins a heavyweight title and he's not doing too well in that F either um it's just it's just a mad sport you just got to be stay in it you got to stay in the in the in the water um and and and the times can come you can see that that has happened for for many people along the on the road H sometimes the the stars are line and the timeing matches and and that's it you know so I think you just got to stay in the water for the goods and the bads and then and then and Trust in fight and just go for it yeah absolutely and and that that that's exactly what it's all about uh there there was one or two people in the gym probably that I did want to ask about obviously uh Georgie grev took his first professional loss there recently up in Europe Fighting Championships do you think we'll see Georgie again soon because uh he's an absolute phenomenal athlete yeah he's incredible athlete um and he has an ability to go so far as well Yousef okine and Jordan white really well there basically had a good good knockout there and know you are as well um so try not to build try not to be working with 20 people at the same time you know like to be a that little bit that spirit and that t to people as they're coming up and then it takes a lot hell of a lot of dedication um to to to make it you know what I mean to fight is one and the idea I think to to be like I'm gonna do this now and you're you're walking away for six seven years at a time um I Look to grow over that time with with with with athletes and students and really what makes them taken and and what we have in common and what with people that you like that that are good people um so yeah I'm blessed here doing that and being able to tip away and H George in his in his last weight tough fight as well going out there same idea going into somebody's backyard having you have to take them fights as the way it's going as well you know um and he has always done that his whole career it's never been I think maybe once I think as came to duin before him um but yeah and his I only dislocated his Tom in the four round of that fo he stuck his T back in basically but then he had to get taken back in again um so he's been Ning on that and he's back sping so again another lad that's that's that's young um and is still learning the ropes basically learning the the mental aspect of it as well so uh yeah but he he has the ability to do some incredible things he SP go where to being like that really high level and being like what the [ __ ] I mean so when it's on it's on but as I said that happy figh is important as well so you just got to make sure that they're not stressed and and and that just he's got to get a few things out of the way obviously to recover his Tom and get get get back in get back on and that's it you know I think maybe he used to focusing we be we're looking to match him now soon we match basically and uh he's another incredible uh Talent you he's really really good he's he's also a grafter yeah he is over Inland doing a bit over there as well yeah he does a bit basically Bel I encourage the guys to bounce around um all different places basically but mostly don't understand that there's no magic um there's no magic spell or dust you know what I mean it's it's hard work and there's no techniques out there I don't think that are hidden now that it's like you have to think about what what's the best what's the highest percentage stuff and and what can you do off your buy to what can you do when a m as well which is the most important thing so uh when people go away now you come back and they're like but them guys are doing the stuff we're doing them it's kind of confusing what what did you expect when we remember you know what I mean going away and then com back and me like oh it actually isn't like there isn't no magic magic um portal or I think most people just go for the weather now the weather wouldn't be for me now in Thailand I couldn't think of an Wars this weather here go to H ground what this is yeah yeah that's it that's it now unbelievable stuff B anything anything left for Patty yeah no Patty like U after that win like just like the way like obviously the people that follow the show are huge orish ma fans but like the way everything just blew up everyone was so happy for Sean it was a it was an amazing weekend for orish mix martial arts especially with K lran getting the win as well but py like before we let you go is there anything that the people tuning in now how like sure make sure to follow you on to to see what you have coming up next um we don't want of them uh where are they now UFC uh like kind of likeing embedded things I was actually really really to do it you know so um that's coming out I think year maybe maybe before the end of the year um maybe I'm R the exclusive on it or maybe not I don't know but um yeah you do one of them things just gone and then uh yeah we just encourage people to get out and and get training um You Only Live one life so get out and live it and uh it goes fast as well so you're a fighter as well get your consistency together um and just keep turning up no matter what's happening and stay in the water the good and the bad and then the good comes down so uh sometimes the good come or the bad comes forth before the good so H the good when the bad's coming just be all good there we have it guys everyone's favorite H again Patty the H Patty thank you very much for your time and we let you get on with the rest of your day but de Joy show up the orish so us that was the heligan was great to have him on the show wasn't it water man like just uh I know he makes feel proud to be Irish every time you speak that man he's doing great like his relationship with ch seems like so special and like even the whole team of H and martial arts Chelsea um and the entire Squad there seemed like really really close n they seemed like very much like a family Clan H as as one might call it but um yeah not Captain um if you are new to the show make sure to like And subscribe uh we are here every week and also make sure to check out the ener show Instagram page because that's where all the weekly MMA and Combat Sports Action goes down isn't there Ross your favorite page man absolutely the best page in Irish m without a shadow doubt not even close um baso we're going from one UFC athlete to another H reys mcke Skeletor check out the interview we did with him there if if you are interested on the YouTube channel um he is back in Action this weekend live from Las Vegas in the Apex um bazo how s are you to see Reese back in there and haven't spoke to him do you feel like this is the best Reese mcke wherever going to get great question yeah so ree m is back this weekend in the Apex live on USC five pass this was a big one Ross I know the Sha one was a big one but for re this is like this is sort of make a break like I know we had him on the show in the build up to the fight he seems more confident than ever he hasn't fought in early a year and like this is where you you put your money where your M like your mouth is worth this one is uh this is it I think no I don't want to put extra pressure on him but I just feel like this is it man yeah I I think so as well I think I think he's going out here to make S he's fighting Daniel frunza who's no and um fromom Mania yeah he's coming off the a win on the uh Contender series ground pound uh second round finish so look I think uh he's obviously a decent opponent but uh I'm going to back our boy Reese I think uh Reese gonna be able to get the L TKO finish on him um and who knows he has um Pat mallister over there with him um Pat grappling is always phenomenal H frun has lost twice by AA choke and you know maybe we'll see um ree Implement more of a jiujitsu heavy game and Implement bit more grappling than we you've seeing him but I think Reese will continue with his 100% finish rate every time he gets hand raised and uh Skeletor is getting that D yeah and the submission of the night bonus yeah why not put 50gs in his back pocket as well I think um he deserves it yeah exactly so we will keep you up to date with that and I will link the interview with Reese at the very end of the show as well and then Ross in the main event Josh EMT is taking on Lon Murphy yeah I think Lon Murphy is gonna get his hand raised here I think uh he's still on defeated um he is as tough as they come I think the only thing he has to watch out for is Josh emt's power and joshh EMT is the hardest hitter at 145 and um I think Lon Murphy will probably a strong grappling game here to get the job done maybe throwing a few car kicks uh slow it slow it down and uh pick up the win I think either late stoppage or I think maybe might pick up decision Murphy yeah Murphy's getting a bit of a strange career at the moment because like he's never really like he never really fights in the the English events I I sort of feel like a lot of us been bad look in away I feel like they just haven't fallen for him at the right time he was meant to fight Nathaniel Ward wasn't he yeah I think so I now I could have a wrong but was he meant to F Arnold Allen as well um he's not too sure he's um definitely um someone who is on a tear at the moment anyway so like long may that last um but yeah look he's 14 know one with uh I think the draw come against one of the dagani wrestler lad so looky his last win out was a United decision win over Dan eay so um yeah look he's beating eay he's beating Barbosa I think I think he's uh on the right trajectory now to really make a a move towards that top five and uh why not um Josh em to that list and the teammates with Dennis frong and Arman HK absolutely Manchester Top Team stand up then um so that's Saturday night right uh for people tuning in now as well Nathan Kelly is back at the pfl World tournament that starts this Thursday it goes down in Orlando uh he is part of the fedway tournament Ross Nathan Kelly's back last time out he lost in the Ireland team Ireland versus dagistan night in I think it was January wasn't it yeah I think it was it was definitely early in the year either late John early Feb um yeah he lost uh via second round rear naked choke um which snapped I think what was an 11 fight win streak and he already finished your man in the first round as well yeah he did so he land land a big shot and Center man re and board uh ammed mag magam medov um I can just say mag medov and like that could be anyone um yeah and came back and got the win so look tough fight for Nathan Kelly but look he's on to bigger and better things now he's now fighting H tayun Kim who ni name is Aries uh and this man here is actually uh 10 and one going into this fight so he was four one on Brave um so he's obviously going to be a very decent stand but look as we always do I will back Nathan Kelly to get the win I think he could get a TKO here nice and early he seems to land early quite often yeah and make sure to check out Nate's new podcast the gift of the jab podcast you had Kieran Clark on the very first episode yeah shout out to Kon Clark who has to withdraw from the tournament uh through injury yeah then um so that goes down Thursday night uh also on Saturday there's cage Legacy returns with it Future Stars show so um make sure to give cage Legacy a follow because Dei is promoting the event and there is going to be some future stars on the card as well Ross yeah absolutely share it cage Legacy would love to see them back but like a a full am sure May event with some Pro fights on it if they can't but uh great to see them uh raising some funds for much needed cost and then just discussing some of the action from the Irish Fighters over the week WFC went down over in Spain it's uh it was in Madrid pahan fought crazy boy Ross and he lost to Dr stoppage after the second round um what did you make of palan's performance I think it was quite typical of a pahan performance he came forward a lot and um he gave some shots he ate some big shots um it was like you know they say he's got a A Diaz style and that's what it was like you know I mean he's uh he very heavy with the boxing um I saw one or two leg kicks um thrown as well which I thought were was nice to add to the repar but um I I felt like he was just oversizing there to be honest I felt like um his opponent's punches had more on them than P did uh I felt like they did more damage I felt like he probably went up too too much weight too quick so uh I think it was in Haight it's always nice to say it but like he probably shouldn't be fighting uh above 70 kilos ever cuz that guy was probably more of a welterweight and P fought a featherweight before so I think he I think he was outsized and out G in the fight um I don't necessarily think it was a skill issue but I think uh I'm not too sure if P has a manager or he manages himself but I think like his next fight is really really important that he gets himself matched up and correctly yeah I think that he like gave a good account of himself like like he he was ready to go for that third round as well uh I actually think you got a lot of fans from that event even the commentators like I've never heard the commentators really be like oh my God oh my God um during the fight so um I wouldn't be surprised if he was brought back again and like fed at his actual way class cuz um he gave like like a grade account self as well but uh Ross the biggest winner from the weekend was the one and only schneid new who won in her debut bkfc fight in Manchester Ross what did you make of this performance from chenade n yeah chenade looked really really good in this fight she came forward a lot um I think she was the underdog going into the fight her opponent fought in bkfc before and I think anytime you're fighting in Baron knuckle for the first time where some jump for you know I mean it's it's going to be it's going to like I'm sure that first punch is not nice to take so uh chenade was definitely the aggressor um I I was like watching most of it but like I was also out at the time so like um from what I could see like I knew she'd won three if not four rounds and it was it was hard to tell exactly which ones H but like every time I was watching like she was coming forward and the overhand right seemed to be like the shot that was uh kept on Landing but um yeah she's uh I was saying to Barry afterwards I was like because she's so typically Irish she's always going to look worse for wear than her opponent like they just like being so fair and being a redhead she was just always going to Mark easier so like she's always gonna almost like look like she got beaten up in the fight uh and I'm sure like her oppent did land some heavy shots but uh yeah I thought if if you take it score for score strike for strike I thought landed the more strikes and I thought she was more aggressive and I think that's how bar ni bar knuckle boxing should be scored and uh also shout out to uh Connor Cook who got like one of the most voal knockouts in bkfc history H he absolutely flatl his opponent H that that looked like get the B bodyy bag out straight to the morry don't stop it go here we here we go that was a b how how vicious was that knockout very Vision man the bkfc knos are crazy but yeah you AB you fold them create a history as well yeah first ever woman to get their hand raised in bkfc so uh shout out to her and like massive emotional Outburst when she's done it you know she embraced BR Brad pigy and she was like I did it and that's the first win of her professional Combat Sports career so uh look maybe maybe that's that's her home bkfc because I always thought her striking was quite good I felt like she comes in with these sort of Blitz tax and they seem to be really re effective for and yeah I think why not like put it this way if you ask me am I more excited to see schne Nan do an MA fight next or bkfc fight next on say bkfc yeah no but it was it was absolutely epic to see and then next week Russ we will be covering Reese mck's bonus victory at U Vegas uh we'll also be looking towards U 3 14 as vul takes on Lopez and um also Rec in the v Camp yeah shout out Maxi uh also lfl tier
