Kind: captions Language: en okay what's going on guys and welcome to a brand new episode of energized today we have a very special guest on the show we have Cage Warriors wealth away future champion you were to in the future Gary Ian how are you doing what's up boys how are we it's great good how do you deal with the common theme for over 1900 saw you've been even for yourself I've been fighting myself I've been hit some when I am off I've been wracking her head I've been fighting people on face on I don't know what's next book that's what says the longer this goes on the weirder it's gonna get me yeah I don't know how I can't deal with being knocked open in a house or locked up in a room and being told to kind of stay there I'm like I just do what I want when I want that's it so have to kind of stay in I mean my dad sick so if I get it yeah same here my I know yes Matt I have to well at while I'm so like careless and I just do what I want and I don't really think about I have to kind of be like oh right happen and what can we do to try and day normally because obviously this company ever prod affects you more than Robert Jo three times normally three times a day when I'm when I'm in fight camp and then if I'm not in fight camp it would be kind of two or tree depending I put there like when I mean like people are like oh when you're on fully calm how many sessions you do I'm like tree and then like when you're off family gym like tree and they're like so there's no difference like no the intensity is completely different like if I'm going doing another fight come I may go down and do a hide hide sparring session in the morning with all the lads meet up with James and Chris and calling all the session get some food go to a bit of train and so it might be a high-intensity cardio session and then later on the night it'll be a technique session but if I'm not doing I'm not doing if I can't be could completely change and the weights it could be technique technique technique trying to get better and better and better and better and better so it all varies but now it's literally going to stay in a bad fit about three o'clock eaten everything that I can set my eyes on - that is absolutely shite so the starbursts Ben and Jerry's are the life the weights a creep up or we'll try to keep it down a little bit I've got a rover inside I've got some stuff that I can keep myself active my so I'll try I don't know I'm gone viral look it man if I if I had a camera on me all the time I'd already be gone viral though I don't post any to stuff like that I normally do if I defy my mates have already said if you just put a camera on me and just followed me around every day and just watch some of the [ __ ] I don't or listen to some of the [ __ ] I'd say I'd already be be out there and same with some housing the father was because I'm just I just I couldn't care less about any just stuff I do I just you tell me to do something and I'm like it's not to dad you see I'll do do-do-do gaming as well in yeah I mean they're playing there's no stream don't know no no no oh my god no but it'd just be me cursing up my TV just constantly just out scream and trauma PlayStation controller at the TV installment Oh and now but I guess you that's kind of what my life has become over the last kind of two weeks it's just called sitting in there put on the headset with the boys I'm just screaming at each other so first Kate or Cage Warriors are also gonna make you like the face the bitter Ron like the year like 30-round Bowman's Justine Gary central oh no that's all they wanted I mean in guarantees as they would say the face that runs the place no I'm the look I'm the best look and I said this ages ago I said why not have em okay I'm cool with that if they don't if they want to use me and and pull and post post my content and push me even further and that's great the more eyes are made a better even if it's why we're doing not them it's still clicking onto my social media and still people can't see and seeing what I'm about and I'm just here like any of the stuff today I do today like I did a questionnaire not taking this it's just just being me I'm not being fake I'm not trying to be funny or I'm not trying to get people to follow me I'm just enjoying it most of them ripped my Melvin Messimer so they would in your you're off the tree and own Ellen Cage Warriors but like a lot of people probably don't know how you started out to an MMA forward people to know can you let people know how you just started all up yeah so basically I started around was younger obviously was I was always in fitness I was doing stuff a guy and hurt him and Farini and then how I when I got to let tan I went to a boxing club started in boxing I had about 300 fights and up to the age of like 14 kind of fell out all over I got tonsillitis on and off for like eight months so I couldn't train and then I had to get them removed when I got through Mills decided going back I didn't like the gym went back to her a guy and went you know I'm not mad about this I don't like I like punching people in the face or like kind of being physical with someone went and joined judo was going to join MMA decided weights and we leave and so it was finished and get that done and over with got my black belt in judo and then as soon as I finished I went left and went to MMA and have my back since and I originally went to SPG Ireland and Bluebell so I thought it'd be a great idea to just get on leave the oit when I was in college jump on the newest straight into into a SPG Ireland I was there for about three months probably two months and it was just it was just a stress I didn't really like I was going out there for like an hour train and because the way they had it designed was like there was different levels of basically the more money you paid the more class you could do the mid a mid-level woman everywhere it was like I went up and I couldn't I couldn't deal all the classes so I was only gone for an hour or two and then I have to leave and I'm like I feel like I haven't done anything so I was a I'm driving all the way over or getting the lowest and then going all the way back to go home I was like no I'm not doing this anymore so I went to SPD swords at the time Matt Chris and Tom went in loves it clicked with the lads instantly and then just never really looked back after that I was just hooked so I got just which is 10k half right now team KF now yeah so King fields and and I've never looked back I mean it's probably the best the best thing I done was don't think I F I was because I I owe all my success today I mean it could have been a good prospect anywhere I went because I'm athletic and I'm fit nuts I just always I'm like that pool with Chris behind me I'm a different level so and that's why the lads we have lads were that are coming to the Rhine said there's gonna be better than most people's because we've got Chris and Tom Barnes so there's no secret it's it's it's right down fronting and why were the best why were one of the best we just apparently you know I think a lot of people know who Chris fields is true as time deal from a foreigner and just his time is pg I almost feel like people know last bit pumpkin because he's more of an OG in the game he's actually possibly the best jujitsu practitioner in Ireland well that's always fun anyway he's actually incredible to have what was it like to train under his tutelage cuz how you did get no real a joke there when you're in soap and yeah yeah I'm really positively still number one in Europe at the moment ranking system wise I think he's the number one ranked at is division and they eat room for every simple when you think about all the black belts that are in Europe and he's the best I thought he's probably be starting up beating all these other guys as coach which is the way I look at it so he's going out and he's coming up against he's whatever age he is he's going up against people hit the same age who all probably have jamsi teeth around the teach around Europe and he's gonna beat them so he's a savage I was asking Chris dad you know I was like cuz I've had Tom once in a joke and I was like I nearly had I nearly had it and I was like Chris if you ever got a music no he was like well I was like you've never got music no I've never got me unlike and there's no way I'm gonna get was like what like and he's just unbelievable he's so like his pressure is so good the way he explains everything it doesn't matter if you're someone who's your first day in jiu-jitsu or if you're looking to get your black belt he describes everything the same way as he would to both people because he's just so methodical about it and he takes it step by step by step a white belt isn't as less isn't less important than a brown belt and a purple isn't more important than a blue belt she sees everyone the same and he teaches everyone like they're all one and they're all equal and that's amazing and then he beats us all like we're all equal and he just he's an animal like the fact that we're training to be killers and we're going out there I'm putting on a show in the cage and then I go back and I'm getting I'm getting dragged around the map by this guy who's like whatever he is 40 or something like that I'm gone how am I gonna yeah we're gonna deal with this thing I can't this is a knock on my ego but that's why I'm not a [ __ ] is because I have Chris and Tom there and they they put the beatings on me and they they do what I need to put em Tom would be a lot less recognized than Chris but that's because Jitsu isn't as big as I'm a name he's had but he's an OG and I tell you what he made my comp down and he made my weekend down in Cork man he's hilarious him and Chris together caterers Cork yeah when we were down there he just he made my weekend he was so he's got such a dark here and it's amazing him and Chris in the same realm is a it's a pretty coronary hot there on team calf because like even if your own pair or three now we have woman boy station won by knockout one boy submission you know I mean just shows around mister being Gary yeah well I said that to Chris that was my plan for court was am I was working the back constantly constantly constantly constantly constantly and I was finding a lot of kind of places I was having an open and basic you're still what a normal person who does jiu-jitsu would be there and I'd find a lot of positions where I was hanging up in and then I try capitalize them they can make the mine and make make sure I was winning them and I found a nice little trick that I was doing it's exactly how I won the fight in court so I thought it was going to go to ground because I was going to take him to the ground and I knew once I got his back was game over so I think I latched up his back after like 45 seconds or something a minute and I was like as soon as I'd done that I knew it was done and for that yeah it's just it's my cabinet the teeth the corner I have like Kyle Chris and Tom King so you're talking I think he call is probably the second most successful Irish writer would you say yes me again like well you know where do you know fight almost say it's Austin Healey you know I like maybe not belt warriors but like and just in terms of like watching achieve no prayer yes I'm saying it very well cool babe we're definitely an argument that's kind of so many people let's say is the number two right and if not we've got the other one anyway we've got ash in the cove as well so what ash like you've got probably the second most decorated kind of male will say MMA fighter in the country in the club we've got the best coach the way Chris is coaching us phenomenal leg lad use have to just just don't understand when people come to our club and they see the coach and that's going on they did I know like people are standing in for him not gonna name names they've sat down Don I've never had I've never seen that I've never looked about before I've never even thought about her like well what exactly is he doing it's just he looks into position so like every day this is so at the moment we have we all have homework so we all have to watch a fight a day and and then we have to you know route chat we're sitting there commentate like or comment and honor and someone allow something like we watched [Music] to watch it was Aldo and Edgar was yesterday today was phaidor and Minotaur and a girl I think was and then the day before that was that low just right now as low as you gotta see c-plus yeah and then we're talking about them and we're like asking questions because obviously you can train it along and then he's breaking it down for us and he's saying why he didn't do this and what he could've done this and why you should have done this but just know just of and then after our training sessions we'll do say a 45-minute bit of positional right which is you sat in a good position then you sat in a bad position and it's to work your way out to capitalize on that finish get a sober or get a ground pound or something like that and we'll all sit down afterwards any lasses having any questions or any positions where we felt uncomfortable or where we felt like we were lures an alien so say if someone was getting mount on me and I couldn't get them off now he'll go okay here's what you need to do you need the hip bump you need to knee elbow maybe under hook come up grab the single toilet for the dog is now my brain just going off because I'm I like that a lot that's my favorite would be the learning aspect so there's loads of different aspects and things he does but he's just amazing and I really can't I could say here and talk about them for hours and say how good he is and I know every call every guy says amazing things about the coat and say oh he's the best coach out there look they probably are good don't get me wrong but I guarantee you they're not as good as Chris so and then trow Tom in the mix there again you're just it's a recipe for disaster like you know you're just ass and they come up against savages so if they'd read like I couldn't ask for better cool bunny better teammates I mean the vibe in the gym with all the boys is amazing like it's we go and we all rip each other out and then we all leave that's it it's just you open its its banter yet I had worked on and then it's on the next training session and no one blows no one's talking [ __ ] about each other it's a bit of crack and then you go there and you leave like you remember when you used to go into school and used to be looking forward to go and seeing the lads have a bit of craic with them that's just able as I have gone to the gym everyday I'm like yes I can't wait tell him this we can't wait to rip it out again today and you know you don't get some hard work done so it's been a good it scooping a crack but one thing I will say about you Ian is like you seem to make our friends longer and major and I was here a boyfriend people with that about Elliot and Paul Hughes and then I'll see you train with James Webb good luck over the four years Hooda pink will be a first get back head well I'll see where he's already done up what do you think yeah you could be in back to the belt well I don't know what from what James has been saying and he said it on a couple of interviews he when he was dealing the fights for five minute rounds it's a it an extra ten minutes of fighting it doesn't sound like a lot put added onto another 15 minutes beforehand and it sounds your own right this is 25 minutes a fight and so not a trained killer and what everybody was in there who knows the craft and who accepts me good I'm like notorious is not some monster I mean like he's huge and he you know he's powerful so I don't know I think did the training may James not enjoy it if you know what I mean it kind of was putting a dampener on him and like he wasn't the same person he was and can't be was a little bit kind of I know I wouldn't say depressed but he was a bit more down if you know what I mean just wasn't enjoying it wasn't the same banter from him and I could tell it was getting to him and I think he wants to just get a couple more tria three five-minute rounds and just work his way back up and started to enjoy it more because I know he wants the belt I know he wants the UFC but I think he just wants a change he doesn't want to go straight back into the five minute round or five fives so to be honest I don't know and he's put his whole life into this as well exactly yeah I don't know what he wants to do going forward with I'm assuming him I think I know we've talked about him and his mate I'm talking about opening gym so that so maybe my venture out into that I don't know they might do that their boat maze and so I don't say anymore in case I think I don't know I don't know what I'm talking about they might tune up with them yeah so put out it out it you're a tree also say the own beaten go is me open and Paul alright I'd be pissed off I don't get that first and Paul is five you know which is annoying because I would have been four no and open probably would before no two weeks after me so we are like this what I'm saying I was annoyed at that fight mostly because we momentum it was kind of a block to the momentum because if you're finding every three months it's cool everyone is getting high and they're seeing that I got he's flying again a trained one said that's great if you're fine every sick ticked ice every six months it's it's nowhere near as a I was kind of enjoyable it's you're kind of waiting too long so that's why I like to be active I'm young I can be active now I'll sit when I'm when I'm twenty eight thirty and I'm sitting at the top of the UFC brackets and them I'm going right who's next then I'll wait more time because people have to earn the fight to fight me and I'll have to earn my shot to get that belt so I'll have no problem but right now Jesus at five fifty two times a year so you love you you wouldn't know trauma to throw me in now in a weak energy so zero answer Paul's gonna be first to the belt they're sorry so do you think Paul's gonna be first the Belkin no I think we just had pizza Carol on the show and I asked him who do you think turned out the hottest prospect in Holland and straight away he said yourself apologies like obviously no slots people give me attention now I was I was I sort of was I'm making you feel you know a lot of people are keeping her probably like out of all the prospects we probably are the two hottest prospects is obviously a couple more around there but like right now I I understand where he's coming from widows to and the attention like if it's he'll like it really doesn't mean a lot to me if you know it a man understands not like I don't think about it too much it's nice to know like people know who I am and stuff like that and it's cool obviously I'm still alone you know young in the sport and I'm still rising and a lot of people wouldn't know me but it's kind of nice suppose I'm Saddam have someone fight with my best mate and I was going into a Drax Museum and there was an Irish family standing in front of me and one of the kids was turning around when Dad that's he and Gary that's he and Gary and they come over I got a pic and I was like wow I was like there's no I was like nah that's I was like see that's cool cuz I would have never ever thought people would have known who I am they might look at me twice you know I know that face that simple your mind knew her straightaway and I was a that was that was really cool and that was kind of the moment those like oh yeah it was like this girl for Dad I don't really think about it too much obviously like fame and fortune is cool but that's not what I want if I do well that's what's gonna come with the kind of publicity and being out there and social media and people watching my flights and that's gonna calm where the poor I just want to make a legacy in that the more people that know me the better the more people that watch me about it because it just means more eyes in the fight and more eyes I'm better I want to do it just drives me for more apparently in like I think we've always known that about you they like your goal is to be the best and you know you'll take a walk what comes with that I'll see you know the best folders well you always say there in the UFC and you've no qualms about saying that easy almost knock the other organizations but you say the you see are the best because this obviously you know if you fall and UFC or sorry cage warriors one protein you've already got another quick fire round I mainly motivate you as he don't nearly maybe now that yields he doesn't like won't be on the cards just due to the grown worse not sort of thing and before you think are away from there on isn't a necessity to capture the Cage Warriors belt before he actually made that jump right so was that up a USC Dublin that was a massive maybe in the first place so if I had a fall on caterers in London which was milled to Manchester I would been for no and then obviously Belfast was lined up for May 16th I well I could have been five and OH I'm the amount of hype I would have had a five no anyway what would have would have probably got me down anywhere were people shouting it out and staying and saying I definitely would have I would have said something on the mic after a warm in Belfast and that would have maybe push it a little bit more about I'm I was never looking for it was obviously in the back of my mind and it was a look if I do this I could end up here but I'm not paying about anymore it's gone i I did it the way it's going that might not even happen I mean they're saying that we could be in lockdown for twelve weeks so you never you know for there that's that's kind of out the window for me now and my sites are kind of set on just getting as many fights to the car I was a carnie and after this is all kind of settled down and inviting back to be a blessing in the scores you know that rather than like pushing your too quick now it's like right I can just keep building where you have been yeah exactly no no your honor right and I kind of like crib that's what Cruz sat me down when he was saying like Chris sat me down in the gym a couple of weeks ago and when he told me like he was I wasn't fighting and he was like look I've had a thought about this he's like this isn't it a conversation this is me telling it or this isn't an argument I'm telling you what's happening he was like don't worry about the UFC Dublin he was like that will use like you're not gonna be in the u.s. teams that I think you could be a UFC champion who's I got you know I don't like don't smoke or people's ass you don't like saying stuff he's like he was like well you he was like we don't want to risk anything at this stage your query he was like yeah you're young you're athletic you're talented he's like you're hired work and he was like he was like don't set your sights on something he was like taking a bigger picture he was like you're gonna get there anyway he was like you're probably gonna be in the USC within the next like 16 to 18 like 24 months like you're gonna be there whenever like it'll come when I call it exactly he was like you're gonna get there music let's let's forget about USC Dublin and let's just think about getting this title so obviously I want the Cage Warriors title there obviously could be a case now if I am hyped open off and I beat the right guys that I could end up going beforehand you might want to snatch me up or maybe they need a replacement somewhere and I I tell my hat in and oh yeah that can obviously be a case but I I want to be a part of that Cage Warriors royalty I want to I want that to happen you want the gold and then I want to put me at the middleweight belt as well well now if I'm right I don't think anyone has done the champ champ since Conor and Chris is won the middleweight title James won the middleweight title if I can't if the option is there if the UFC you want to take me straight away I'm not gonna hire you but if there's a chance I can do a point up I'm Paris for middleweight name so like you more like a whole truck don't walk man 3 kilos like would you do you think you're gonna end up being a bit like Darren till the way he like stayed welterweight and then just move up to middleweight you think by the time you hit 28 well it would be a bit too small yeah yeah yeah 6 - yeah yeah I'm like I'm so I never done stranding addition until May June last year because I didn't do it for my for my pro debut and I couldn't do anything because I broke my hand and I was out for weeks and weeks after that so that was when I started down that so I'm just getting bigger I'm stronger and fitter no obviously it has to do any but when I'm lifting weights and my body has grown so like my shoulders on my chest I've all gotten broader and bigger and stuff like that so I was a late bloomer anyway when it comes to like draw one and stuff like that so I think there might be another year or two in me just kind of slowly grown a little bit and then yeah probably we will end up middle and I would imagine yeah probably we might get we might be able to hold off on welterweight selling about 25 but I've seen down until scroll not to cut weight and I don't want to do that if I'm struggling to cut to welterweight that did one time I sit there I'll turn like I don't know probably find a middle way nobody I wouldn't care do tomorrow fight like I wouldn't care I was a bull it's a bad way to see it now Gary vs. IVA Sonya yeah he's oh he's gonna be gone by the time would you stop hurry 31 yeah I think sturdy one yeah yeah yeah yeah given four years time yeah for you live in a box for that no he's an animal though here if there's a lot of good so I'd love to see him until yeah just don't for you just promise you something if you Yoel Romero so the higher end CFC talent for him yeah he scares me needles don't get me wrong he's scary but he's so cool right I would find now you break a full kicked him in the stomach I try to take him down means it goes you saw this boy just wanna break the news Sika Bebe's talking Russia I'm actually can't make you see to Portnoy and the u.s. is trying to make first versus a gauge what you think that gives your initial heart map that's crap do you know no no no no I saw it like I wanted Ferguson like a bee I know they can't make it why not just take the whole card off Pete sees tweet about that he said sure the whole reason this whole kite is going ahead at this time is because we want to be even Tony if it's not gonna happen scrap the whole thing I'd agree with it but at the same time there's a lot of other people on that card that I began as I'm saying with caterers and have been working taken that yeah okay yeah and well yeah exactly and it's my eight even if you took out money right I'd still want to fight if I was told I'm fighting in in two weeks I'd still want to fight regardless of the money but obviously that's what feeds their family and like helps raise their kids and so like that and paying the bills and that would completely understand that but just a fighter in them will go I want to fight still so you're gonna have a lot of other people on that card still wanted to go ahead and if could be can't get out of Russia I'm down you know that's a great scrap I'm sure you can give Putin a [ __ ] like you know he could have Tony flown over in a private jet right I'm caught in the middle of like Midland Moscow or something like that and just put seventy eighty thousand people in a stadium and just have slave everywhere just one person get them tiger Sun altars in snap finger it is a decent question not was could be obsidian Russia she not been statesmen we could go I remember seeing a picture of him and islam makhachev however you say with all the face masks on Airport I don't know maybe you want to be back with his dad or something like that his family inside oh yeah yeah exactly I don't know what he wants to do but I thought it would have been smart to stay in America and get prepped and get ready but I don't know dr. suppose that's like each their own yeah I would saying what if why not get if they can't get just engage he write Oliveira Charles Oliveira and Tony Ferguson baby scary that would be daddy I just like to see them to roll yeah same here hey Mazz blood shows named Martin all for him yeah we could be an esper first versus Mozgov okay technically Ferguson still the chump you never lost the toil right yeah but be a minute Tony Ferguson is a bit big and he hits hard and Ferguson gets hit a lot early on especially he gets here unlock nice edge to warm up and feel into an EM pressure pressure pressure so if you could last kind of the first round or two I supposed to be a five-round fight I tell you when that's set to go down in under three weeks times don't worry guys I don't have chronic virus all right before I wrap it up the rumor the word in the street is Darren Taylor versus Robert Whittaker for you see double what you're talking about god it's a great don't know I mean if we're going on last performances just nothing else cuz you're only as good as your last performance I think Darren tail could win it because we watched Kelvin again status on you and then we seen out of San Diego or we see now deciding against Whitaker and I was a token of both of them were good fights I think Whitaker was unlucky to get caught with that shortly he was kind of reaching I just got clipped on the way in I'm feeling that again someone who's out it's on you as long and looks to catch people rushing in as a bad move but then we went and seen tail go out and do amazing against Gastelum so I think I think he has everything to dare to do it and I don't get wrestle or grapple or go to the ground so for gonna watch them I reckon would be one rooms getting slept I think I think tower till is more knocking out power Dynamis Anya so if it was to lead into the into the championship fight that'd be killed to see them too but I would like to see where to come back against out of time you fit about but I think a time until and when the big and Stan Whitaker I think he's yeah and he's very he's very good at that kind of toy stylist on there something small doesn't really matter and and I think he's bought a lot of demons in his head I was listening to some stuff on his interviews and stuff like that he's a he seems like he shows in a good spot and he's ready to scrap me yeah I I look down until I mean he's actually hilarious empty well I mean robbery when actually the legends Wilma hmm Robert Whittaker is a legend as well oh come here I'm not are you now I just think I would say me and me and the ladder in the car go to an event a couple of weeks here and we were sitting in the car we were trying to say who is the best personality in MMA like like who would be up there I'm like all three of us were like kind of like Ida Sonya Whittaker Steven wonderboy because he's just the nicest person you can never know how to man like mass without balance here these are all the people I was max Holloway yes he agreed and UNAIDS up there and he's easier than Isis bull but I've had the nicest person ever a it's that he owned the boy yeah and if we're talking about yeah if we're talking about the kind of the best person on beach was probably being in her head now until he says he's hilarious some of the stuff he posts a brilliant and I like - look I ain't fine you're well that's amazing - Herman yeah let's be honest no one's gonna be as good as Connor or tail tonight I mean so no so it's it's very simple ground both in as he was gonna wrap things up there and hi Scott you're an absolute legend past come round and bury anything about you ever since we had you on the first show just following your careers to not see brilliance massive shadow two lads a team KF as well this lot and follow us and we follow him is 4th month which we will attack on Shetty's turn to the list goes on water keep it going like we're looking forward to seeing what happens next and their stay and of choice is boy ok kids that appreciate it thanks real time do they stay energized
