Energized Show follow-up with Irish boxer Dylan Moran after his stint in Conor McGregor’s UFC 257 camp in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Conor’s loss to Dustin Poirier, and Moran’s viral Jake Paul exchange. Moran describes VIP travel with Andy O’Neill, Team McGregor gear, luxury camp life, and strong sparring with McGregor before failing a COVID test on fight-week Thursday and missing Abu Dhabi. He argues Conor was winning striking until Poirier compromised his leg, expects a rematch, and wants back in camp. He recounts explosive social-media attention, follower growth from about 14,000 toward nearly 40,000, Jake Paul reading but not replying to DMs, and global recognition from the callout. Looking ahead, he is home training, leaning toward a televised rematch with Dennis Zakat after a loss in America, open to McGregor camp or publicity stunts in Miami, and expects Jake Paul to beat Ben Askren on 17 April. He credits hard work, stays close to family, Steve, Conor Slater, and O’Neill, and is excited about a possible James English podcast appearance.

gonna have to start at the very very top we ended the show on a high note we're absolutely buzzing for you you're heading off to dubois first and then fought on so can you just take it back to the plane because i remember you're getting the vip treatment from dublin airport yeah um let's remember the fact this is gonna be a memory now golden airport we're in platinum services there's no queues no waiting around uh big lounge philadelphia free food free drink um fancy cars to the plane uh you name it yeah that's where it all kicked off and um seven hour flight landed in dubois same setup over there uh everything was top of the range it was just living the dream crazy who'd you sip a sword on the plane there myself and uh andy o'neil the best cup man in ireland me and corey [Music] his tags are everywhere on instagram i don't think there's a more famous good man in the world than him right now i think he's the most famous cut man in the world i'm well deserved him and uh he was a stitch they haven't stitched i think yeah yeah yeah let's do this around yeah uh also dill the outfits that you wore the matching team o'neill team mcgregor tracksuits the o'neill torched i thought that was a brilliant watch like sticking with the irish roots yeah um so that's key mcgregor got them made up for us we're all kidding out and on eels obviously printed them with team mcgregor and smashing track suits uh crumbling boxing club kicked us out with o'neill's as well so uh with loads of only strikes here to do us for the next good one but it's good to see a you know especially in such hard times people sticking with sticking with their own and using knowledge brands but uh you're gonna have to tell us about this yacht right once i saw this yacht and i knew you were not i was like i was like i'm gonna have to ask dale about the yacht yeah i said like we could have had loads of yachts so i had like russian millionaires messaging me on about closing downs views giving us yachts for free they just got my number off instagram uh all if conor would be there and there was that many of them i didn't even send them on and then it ended up that connor got his own yacht and i don't even think he is the word for this there was like six floors on us and the lads were sending me videos of it on the way that would have be and uh yeah yeah doesn't explain this this was like a cruise ship so like how long have you been deployed for before you made your way to floyd island um so i didn't go i ended up failing the covetous so i stayed in dubai um can you tell us a bit about that then yeah so we're in dubai training as normal for i think was maybe three weeks and then obviously fight week just connor and the main coaches and that went out with abby the culver rules were a lot stricter in abu dhabi um you know so we didn't all go and although team mcgregor had started their tickets for us all to be at the voice and i failed over test time but thursday just my look and it was mad because things were going too good you know everything had happened and i've been on the phone with people at home and i was like i'm not used to this things are going too good something something has to go wrong what's going to go wrong and then i woke up it's like ah you feel the taste so yeah that's what went wrong for me oh man they're actually devastating for you especially all the hard rounds you put in beforehand and i know tell us um what is that lifestyle like because that's that's what everyone dreams of you know you know fast cars luxury there's you know pjs you know i mean it doesn't get much better than that it doesn't get any better than them i don't even know how to sum it up to be honest with you you have to just experience it and there's not many people that ever get to experience it and that's why i was very grateful to be over there i was enjoying every day every part of it and just soaking it all in because it's rare like it's rare that happens for anyone you know and i select few people and and i got in there and you know the last eight weeks of my life i've definitely been the craziest and probably the craziest i ever will um go through you know it'll be hard to top the last eight weeks with all that's gone what was this barn like over there between yourself and conor and do you look back now and and think why why were you the person who got got chosen or you or was there something about you that was very similar to dustin poirier or maybe maybe you were just the guy to get yeah um look obviously i can't speak for the lads avoid they brought me in there but you know all good reports from the sparring sparring was very very good and the coaches were dead happy with it listen conor mcgregor and his coaches and his team have been involved in massive fights worldwide had i not been the guy for this fire and i'd have been sent home after day one they could have had whoever they wanted there you know so these guys don't get it wrong i came in and done my thing and it was obviously what they wanted and this pattern got more and more exciting as we're coming to the fight and uh yeah it was brilliant like i said the coaches were happy conor was happy everything ticked all the boxes it it was good work and let's talk about before you deal um obviously it didn't play has any any of us taught and that lee lee calf kick seemed to be the massive difference maker what was your thoughts on the fight because obviously you watched us yeah so so my thoughts from it is you can only take from what you've seen and what i seen was conor winning the voice looked very good in the strikes very good in the exchanges was only didn't even get out of second gear and dustin took his leg end off you know that's it he took his leg that's that's that's why he lost the point you know he didn't get choked out or whatever are knocked out standing he was winning the strikes winning the fight on my cards and then dustin took his leg and that's it you know what more can you take from it he looked very very good very very fit um yeah i seen the work that went into it and it was all going to plan and it took us late you know what more can you take from it what were they fighting for seven minutes someone made a reference before the fight as well conor had only fought 40 seconds in the last year and i think you said poor you had 80 minutes in the octagon yeah i've seen that that's crazy isn't it well like yeah obviously that played a massive pirate as well but did the fight go on long enough for that to play its part i don't know like i said it was all going to plan conor was winning the exchanges and dustin took his leg end up how can you fight without a leg i don't know but obviously i've seen some mad comments on the internet all the couch coaches saying what he lost and this that the other thing and you know like i said that's a simple an explanation of it he was winning the fight and the guy took his leg and uh what more can you take from that yeah i do think um i think it's actually 40 seconds bosmo since uh november 2018. you know i mean because yeah that was the last thing [ __ ] of eve yeah that's a long time very long very good in a very very long time especially when you're at the absolute pinnacle of the game uh in your prime in your prime as well i know i know gsp came back and he'd be busy for the middleweight belt after all that time off but you know each of their own and i always think the best conor mcgregor we've ever seen is the most active conor mcgregor we've ever seen and it really goes to show that like he made me is someone who just needed that time in the octagon to get the job done and look i found a very bizarre two things number one the amount of people who like just down man like i've written him off i've been like his career over i'm just like man he lost his job support he's one of the best fighters in the world and then number two the amount the hate that was from his way afterwards i've never seen a foyer be like i've never seen people like relish so much in someone's defeat in their life i never would like hope someone lose that much ever i just didn't get it i i can never understand people's way of thinking when i see all that um like i said i got a lot of backlash online a lot of hate when conor was defeated that that morning it was 10 o'clock in the morning over there my phone started going crazy and it just i can't understand the thing behind it you know um some people are just worried differently i suppose but yeah the hate was crazy um had can't look whether you do good or bad in this world people will talk and have an opinion so just do your thing generally i mean um had conor won he'd be the best fellow ever and i would have been the best parent partner ever by the same people that were talking all the nonsense online and that's unfortunately that's the world we live in and you just need to learn how to deal with it yeah that's like the thing is we're kind of like you live by the sword you talk about the sword with the with the person he's giving out to the world is what's made him such a multi multi-millionaire you know he even owns the whiskey business you know i have to say as well i really liked the connor that was portrayed all week um throughout the press conference throughout the interviews you know you can just see that he's growing up he's a dad now he's mature he doesn't need to get loud on the microphone anymore it's worked it's done the trick for him and yeah just the connor that was at the press conference i really enjoyed it yeah still uh ross let's just get this in quickly dude we had chris fields on the show last week i'm not sure if you know chris he's head he's dead coach and team kf former president partner with um conor in sbg ireland and we were just discussing the fight we were looking for myself brothers are really looking forward to the show we were going to give you the week after party and then come back on this week but when we were doing the show i actually found it so hard to go over what we witnessed because we we're all we're all convinced conor was going to win like we were like right conor's going to win and then he's going to fight kabe and then dylan's going to be on the undercard against pacquiao you can see it all happening live and then when it's like he lost you're like what the [ __ ] gonna happen there labs you know but uh still still getting getting used to it but um the thing is the things about the connor like connor as roster's alluded to there is at his best when he's constantly working and working and working and in the octagon getting time and they're constantly focused the thing is if you look over the past year conor has tried to get in numerous times i know he's mentioned uh diego sanchez uh the only reason why the poirier fight came through fruition was because he was meant to box him here in dublin so yeah it's not as if conor didn't want to get in there so therefore boy being held back by the ufc it's actually gone against not only him but it's gone against the whole ufc in general i'm full fans i'm floyd fans because we love a conor mcgregor phoenix like anyone else yeah of course and anytime that he's retired he said he's retiring due to being kept inactive he does if he's going to be in the gym he said i want to be active and they weren't given the fight so he retired which is which is a good decision i think you know so like you said yeah it's definitely a power to play with the ufc and what do you think of pourier's uh boxing skills on the night because uh obviously like poorly is a lead foiler and his boxing is quite good especially for mixed martial artists what do you think of it yeah it does dustin's good for sure he's good and i really respect the guy you know i like what he's about i like him as a person and his boxing is good but connors is better you know a hundred percent better like i said he was winning the exchanges they didn't even get out of second gear you know you can't take much from what we've seen and being a fighter i know that you know maybe connor didn't even put his foot on the gas didn't even open up you know he's just feeding his way into it and boom your leg is gone but like i said i i wouldn't read too much into it um i think the rematch will happen i think conor is the type of guy will have to make it happen and won't want to go anywhere else but that fight and you know maybe it's what he needed maybe it was the best thing that ever happened maybe he thinks he's a point to prove now and if they get a date he'll stay in the gym and uh come back and set it straight and you think it will be uh dylan moore and part of the mcgregor camp again for justin conor mcgregor part three i'd like to think so i'd like to think so yeah for sure because i'm a i'm fairly invested in it now as well like i said i took a lot of backlash online and more so than you believe and uh yeah the internet can be in an evil place you want to shut some people up yeah yeah i'd have that as well like i'd be hoping that the rematch happened for that as well you know because i know 100 conor mcgregor beats dustin pryor in my books to be honest i think uh i would love to see her fight just because like the first fight ended so decisively and then the second fight like conor was so compromised but like fair play to dustin like he smelled blood and he got the finish as well yeah i just think like there are two like towel power opposites of fights i love to see the third one go down yeah and look i mean i've seen all these ufc fighters threatening to retire if conor gets a title shot look money talks and dane avoids a money man and connor makes money regardless and that's the fight that everyone wants to see so i wouldn't be surprised if we see the rematch announced anytime soon i'll be honest we're also we're also saying roster like we thought nate the nate diaz thought it would be a good one as well maybe yeah yeah because they're both coming off losses and like i think corey i think pourier should just go for the title he didn't even know who to call out on the boy because he was almost struck he was like can we can we play game lads yeah you know but like that put the diaz on with both ours coming off uh bola's coming off the last inactivity between got both guys i think it'd be great to finish that off and then the winner would fight either poirier or if he could potentially fight chandler or olivier and then he could the winner of diaz gregor fight the winner of that i think that's just a that's probably the best way to go about things i think what do you do you agree uh well i think i think this is the way the what lightweight division is at the moment i think you know pouring is at the very top right and then like obviously the conor green match is there cory actually said yesterday that he goes here look if see he wants to make chandler versus olivier for the belt go ahead i don't really care i'll sign that i'll watch you know i mean he he doesn't mind he he wants the counter rematch he knows what sorry his bread has put it on the way look at this the only person who could give out if conor mcgregor rematch poorly from the toilet is charles oliveira he's got an a5 win streak in the ufc lightweight division it's not something that happens so frequently justin gaijin just came off lost could be so like take his backseat there buddy michael chandler you got one win over ranks yeah calm down you know i mean very very impressive you i mean but like not many people get toilet shot off that the only person who actually has any right to be annoyed if that phone is made is charles oliveira and you know i mean let's let's be honest i mean by the way charles alvarez delivered you to your delivery tonight slapped in the face you'd be like who was that guy let's be honest you know i mean so exactly charles rivera hasn't made any headlines since this being like hell hold on excuse me yeah as ross said that i've won eight fights in a row it's my turn next i haven't seen one video and i'm subscribed to everything man i'm subscribed to his own only fans channel and i'm just like here what's the story like i don't think i've ever seen someone be in such a prime position and one of the best divisions in the ufc and be so bad at what he's saying next i i think he has like tweeted been like it should be me and dustin for the toils it's like here man you have 40 000 followers and like you know mcgregor you have like 70 million between them was like no one cares and then like those forty thousand like thirty eight thousand are brazilian can you not call it logan paul no it's not uh yeah but it's just i don't know just charles oliveira unbelievable talent uh you know he could be the best lawyer in the world we don't know well if you don't put booms in seats or you don't have people typing in their bank card details to boy pay with you people don't really care you know i mean that's the harsh reality of it phil you know anyone in the floyd game doesn't matter how talented you are if you can't sell tickets it's not going to work it's about putting bombs on seats nowadays well it's not the most talented guy he gets there you know and that's decided true of it it isn't the most talented talented guy he gets there it's the goal who people want to watch it's the guy who creates the most commotion and it's the guy who's on everybody's phone screen when they open it you know and that's the world we're living in that's the way it's heading and there's no change in it what was uh like obviously you weren't there for the 40 week itself because like so much things were going on you kind of made the headlines for all the wrong reasons during the week typical irish media like just trying to get the dig in during the week like to be honest i'm not surprised but then like uh but ross what else happened fight week there was like the jay paul thing again it was a lawsuit a lot yeah the last few days in the papers i think there was something else as well wasn't there i'm not too sure but like look you know immediately oh your man your man breaking into the hotel there oh man yeah yeah there was just so much commotion do you think during that week or have you uh talked to connor after or talked to the team after and been like maybe like there was just so much going on that oil and it's crazy you know it's like jurassic park but it's like just humans go mental yeah i i don't even know what you're on about it my world just turned upside down with jay paul so i didn't see anything outside your newsfeed is only jake paul i i didn't see anything my whole life was consumed by jake paul and all his followers and all his uh enemies for like four or five days i still get messages today regarding jake paul tell us what was what was it like when like all those followers are coming in on the phone was just like 100 100 100 autocross all across the message boards um it was just it was just mad and i'd never been exposed to anything like that and it was just crazy every time you'd open the notifications you could drink a cup of coffee you know and again there's four or five hundred and every app you know it was it was that mental and like i said the messages are still coming in today pakistan india all these mad countries that you never even think of have seen dylan mourn demons we put out actually a question on the instagram to if you have any questions for dale someone actually wrote something i'll get into the question there but it was like from india i was like dude is going for all that it's strange and deal tell us this did you actually hear directly from jake paul in your dms no but he's seen my messages and didn't say anything oh so he he saw you he made you a member of the blue tick club yeah yeah so he he's all mailed to no no voice yeah of course look he's a businessman um i knew there was nothing going to come of it uh he'd have been stupid if it did um but yeah look i knew it was not going to come of it i just stuck it on him and the no response and they're not saying anything it kind of went against him a little bit but i'm i'm learning that he's the kind of guy whether it's good or bad publicity he wants at all yeah yeah and your followers like grew like i think yeah i think i think like you can correct me from wrong here i think you had around like 14 thousand going just going over maybe before the first trip yeah you had around 14 000. now you're under nearly 40 thousand i don't know yeah i know we spoke off camera just saying they're like i'm sure many promoters are going to be biting at them like chomping out the bit to get you on the card to mention the conor mcgregor stuff did you mention the jay paul stuff even the irish thing as well that's like that's another like blue blue mark in the world of combat sports as well like you you must be obviously buzzing with with like i know it's not over yet but like what's happening now that you're getting you're just deals you know yeah it's it's been it's been them just ma all madness absolute madness if i'm being honest with you coming to the end of it i was going to be fed up with it because i wasn't used to it and it's just not me regardless of what it looks like on social media i'm a bit of an introvert i like my own time doing my own thing uh just training away on my own and this just took me to another level like every time i want my phone it was can we send you this will you wear this do you want to sign with this can we sponsor this like i've got stuff that was sent to the house slides away i didn't even open yet and i opened one day today it was like some hair products from canada it's crazy um but at the same time while it was all happening i live in the real world and i knew like this is all gonna blow over in two or three weeks conor's made it i haven't and it's back to the drawing board for me at the same time there is their benefits to what's happened but uh yeah i'm home now and i'm back in my gym just doing my thing back on the grind back on the graft and yeah for sure look i don't need any more publicity now all i need is the big fights no i think that is one thing that's definitely prevalent i think the next still of mormon for you is definitely going to be the biggest one i think you need to turn your focus that would be the best syllable and you've ever been for the next one to make your statement there yeah for sure um one that i'd like because it was the video of me getting beaten in america i'd like to go back and fight that guy next and because there was so there was thousands of comments all over the internet slagging me off for that like and i would love not more because i'd be a stubborn type of guy i would like to go back and beat dennis zakat and just slap it up there for all him to look at you know what i mean i think that's the way to go but who knows that's he really doesn't know sorry as dennis reached out to his manager reached out while all this was and they literally just said dennis wants rematch that's that could be the homecoming fight yeah who knows who knows at the moment we're covering all going on um everything is kind of slowed down uh so yeah so i'm looking forward to just a few weeks training get my head around things and uh capitalize on all this at the same time and who knows what's to come yeah maybe take it one day at a time yeah yeah definitely maybe you get on a math trim card or maybe you could actually you know what could be funny if you went over to cleveland because the paul brothers are from cleveland and you fought him over in cleveland i think that was called going to their home yard and uh beat up a few boys there but uh tell us this um i think it's april 17th jake paul is going to fight ben askren in an exhibition box match or i don't know even though it's called a professional box match no it is broken no it's bro what were your thoughts when this was first announced and were you slightly disappointed when it was announced at the start no and because i knew from the get-go that jay paul was never going to fight me i knew straight wait this isn't going to happen you know that's why i just with the reply video it was like no talk and no nonsense i come to america no do you know what i mean we don't need any contracts don't need any events and uh yeah i think i went the right way about it and a fight with me and jake paul was never going to happen he's a businessman you know and look credit to the guy you know he put my name worldwide before punching his head off if i see him i shake his hand first and say thanks he done something for me that the sad reality is if i won a world title here in ireland it wouldn't get half the publicity nowhere near it actually you know so he put me on a on a different level of publicity and i knew the fight was never going to happen he's in it to make money and look fair play to the guy regardless of people's opinions on him he's the talking point everywhere and he's cleaning up i know like when see as you said earlier like we knew we were real like laid-back humble guy just loved getting the love putting the gloves on and just getting a workout in like and then seeing all this stuff i was like how is he gonna deal with this like this is like like you're talking about two of the biggest names now in the in the fight game like if you put jake paul in there like he's gonna be selling mad tickets for the ben asking fight there's also gonna be more fights in that card i can't wait to see the lineup for that that's not going to be on the same night as as uh robert whittaker against paulo acosta so that'll be interesting to see what gets more views that night but um i wanted to sort of look at it this way like after everything was sort of said and done and because we're still in lockdown because you think you've got like a positive cover test even though it turned out to be negative after you didn't feel any effects which is great here because we're now on lockdown now unknown the way conor has acted before like he wants to get back at that like he he's not dealing with issue he was the king of the world until saturday and then all of a sudden the people that were hyping them up putting the thumbnails were then like trying to run them down just as fast what if there is a whatsapp group or if you've been in contact with the team what sort of like bubbling right now like what's the what's the feel is there is everyone like let's get back in there and should prove everyone wrong team ireland like what's up is it like just leaving i don't know at the moment there's been nothing said i've just seen that conor was in the gym the following day um on the art and just taken from the experience that i've had over there they will all be pushing for the rematch connor being the main man and i just can't see him going any other route if there's any possibility to get dustin pryor back in the octagon next that's what conor will be going for and i think he's that type of guy he'll have a point to prove now you know um i think he's in the gym as we speak maybe i think that carry on is gone that's it that's a stage of his life forgotten about now you know moved on on to the next level like i said look at him in the press conference now he's a different guy he's a man now he's a dad he's mature and yeah you live and you'll learn and he's definitely learned from whatever's going on in the last few years and he knows where he's at now more so than ever so don't be surprised if conor mcgregor comes back and deep beats dustin probably i certainly wouldn't be all right i thought he already had him finished in the first round though but then he was like right i'll relax and then he stood he stayed standing and i was just like i couldn't believe it turned around dude i was like jesus man i also think he was he was uh stunted at the start and we said in the last podcast like he was ready to run across the octagon and then the referee's like whoa whoa okay go ahead oh yeah yeah i think he was gonna go in and try and like decapitate him with the first blow you know like a certified team mcgregor member or are you gonna are you gonna join like paradigm or like what sort of way do you see yourself joining into this family even if you are not already part of it like what sort of way do you think oh i am i don't know i don't know um look i was just happy to be involved the last eight weeks um i built good relationships with everyone on the team they were an amazing group of people um very very interesting all unique in their own way and conor himself i've said it many times a gentleman and i think if there's any way for me to be there going forward i will be there and i think connor also seen that i got a good bit of backlash online and like i said on the last time i speak he's a loyal guy he keeps all his guys running out from day one and like i said if there's a way that he can have me there i'm any benefit to him i will be there going forward also till how much says your relationship with conor like evolved since you saw each other first time and he said i heard you were being a kickboxing to finally finally come back to ireland like how much has your friendship involved um we didn't spend too much time like we weren't hanging out or chilling out but like i said when you put the gloves on with somebody and you dump the head off each other there's just a respect there that only fires that know what i'm talking about it's just a kind of a nod of it's just it builds a little bit of a relationship and i definitely have that bottom now you know we've had some tough rounds some great work and uh yeah look connor's a very very busy guy you know and he can't be best friends with everyone um but he definitely tries his best and like i said i couldn't speak more highly of him that's unbelievable and deal was there anyone you went over there with and like you didn't really know whatsoever and then like you left people and like jesus their sound and you're almost made to them now hey the whole team literally the whole team the energy was great the buzz was great the whole setup i couldn't fault it you know every team member from start to finish like i said they're all unique in their own way all very very friendly people and um just the wealth of knowledge in terms of of the fighting game be it striking underground boxing and uh it was just a nice click to be involved in and hopefully if anything has happened in the future i'd be delighted to be there um obviously i have my own career at the grommet as well at the same time but um yeah like i said it was a great experience not many people will ever get to experience it and that would just be mcconner and then what happened with the jake paul thing that just took it to another level and i don't think i'll ever be exposed to that much publicity again regardless of what i achieve and who knows who knows if yeah if there is a box if conor does floyd pacquiao is some stage or if jake paul is on stage you could be on the card as well so like who knows your the biggest thing is get your foot in that door man and then you're up all this happened it would always happen in my life uh i'm just like it makes me so excited for the future because if you had said to me last year that all this was going to happen i just said yeah yo what you know what what planet are you on and lo and behold it happened so yeah i'm proper excited for the future now i never know that anything can happen you know that that's as big as it gets like like i said being on tmz and stuff like that only the kardashians get on that trump next thing you've got some kid from author do you know it's crazy directly it could be a proper 12 sponsorship now for your uh oh they're probably 12. i even found myself putting proper in all my sentences it was that much said over there it's funny what was funny was all the the jake paul thing had happened while we were in the hotel and obviously everything was tight-knit with the kova tests and being around connor so we were getting tested like every second day and all the jake paul thing had happened while i was confined to the hotel and when connor finally went to abu dhabi we we left we had a free leg and we went into the marina and the beach clubs and whatnot and i got into the zero gravity beach club and this is my first time winning around the town and i lie on debate and i just kind of get comfortable and look around and just three or four groups of people just staring at me and i'm like what's this about like it makes these belfast lads come over and they're like oh you already going with jake paul another group would come over he's like this is you look at youtube i was like man this has gone everywhere well you're a legend you know that you're a virgin man that's crazy it's it's processing it's been so good just following deals great since we've had yeah them then this happens you're like what is what am i watching here right well i think the maddest thing about it is like i'm not one of them guys is like just pretending to play the part i'm just like yeah this is mental are you all seeing this yeah you're like i'm like man this is crazy this this doesn't happen to people where i'm from to hit them it doesn't happen it hasn't happened and you know yeah it's it's just nuts you're the most famous man of waterford but the sound of things okay just so we can just wrap up that the jay parting because i'm sure some of his fans are uh oh i was actually sorry i i went to kfc the other night and uh i'm driving around putting in my order and all i ordered was a burger on its own and i drive around into the window and this big bag of food comes out and i'm thinking this can't be for me and there's a foreign guy working in there and he goes this is all for you you put water on the map [ __ ] jake paul oh my god oh my god oh my god get the proper 12 on the kfc sponsorships [Laughter] oh my god dale like obviously the ben asking thing and jake paul are now fighting the 17th of april um who do you think's gonna win that just from looking at boats i i think jay paul wins it um yeah two more useless [Laughter] they they knew what they were doing when picking ben askren you know big following uh looks the part um but anybody that's got a head between their two shoulders will know what they're up to and see through that that benzer wrestler you know uh he's not much of a challenge at all but like i said he's got a big profile little really good farm and yeah look who knows what's to come of this whole jake paul thing but it looks really he's making waves regardless of what you think of the guy you know who's going to be next after ben asking it looks like he's just going up the way and up to win like i said hey credit to him i don't knock anyone for making a few quid and and this is the world we're living in lights russ what about you for that fight as well and also and also dil mention jay paul is going to win that like just shows how much of a man you are to not be like oh ben asking if you're going to win you know me you haven't got that like uh nah you're not like being a [ __ ] about russia who's going to win that because this way is like everyone's talking about it no one's gonna mayweather logan paul everyone's like talking about this and you know what's mad about it as well jake not responding to me anything the guy does i'm getting tagged in it by people that i don't know from all over america and it's literally just respond to dilemma and respond to the little more respond to dylan moore and so you know yeah no matter what he does he's just seeing my name everywhere and i say he's thinking himself jesus i should have just said nothing like this [Laughter] basma let me tell you um tell me about it ben asked him like whether you want to believe it or not like he's at least tough anyway which is different to watch apollo fought before i know we got absolutely chained by jorge maslow and that was a brilliant move by jake paul going to do a quick sparrow inspection or a quick bit of training he is a genius in those sense look he's uh ncaa division 1 wrestling champion he's an olympic wrestling a wrestler he's bellator champion he's one fc champion i mean like let's call a spade a spade he is tough but i'd say out of just say he's done four hours of mma action i would say a solid two minutes that has been on the feet you know it's all right yeah ben ashford's game plan is go in there and take you down and he doesn't make any qualms about it i think the best thing about this for you for the fans is that ben asking doesn't mind to flap those gums and talk a bit of [ __ ] too so i think it is very very interesting if you're going to ask me who thinks he's going to win ben askren's just coming off hip surgery he has like a massive scar the whole way up his leg and look he's also pushing close to 40. jake paul's in his 20s i assumed 23. jake pell's 23 there's no one real yeah so i assume he is going to go in there and win who knows like i i do think dylan one thing that is good is but i wouldn't really do a jake paul fight eventually down the line because if he can keep on beating these nobodies anima some sort of like you know seven and eight no record you know i mean then you know you might actually find somewhere that will commission the void for you hey i wouldn't be surprised like i said i'm not surprised with anything anymore and that's what the last eight weeks have done for me um anything could happen and i just won't be surprised i'm open to all things and dylan you're also covered for you right now yes oh yeah yeah yeah if ben oscar and gave you a shout to go over inspire him ahead of the jay paul fight would you fly over and visit him yeah i'll be on that plane and tell us this would you go to the fight night in april imagine you with ben ashton's corner that will be brilliant so guys as soon as travel restrictions open up like if these messages keep coming in like i've got so many people around the world messaging me please go and shut jake paul up don't be surprised if you just see a video of me going into jake paul's gym cameras rolling and throwing a set of gloves um and say yo we can do it today or you can train for it the world is watching do you know what i mean that's something that could definitely happen because it doesn't seem to be going away like i said i got fed up of it and people are just constantly talking about it like every day in my requested message there's 50 or 60 from different parts of the world you know and still videos going up on youtube and stuff like that and tick tock it's gone mad on tick tock so uh who knows what's to come i wouldn't be surprised with anything at this stage what did you get did you get a massive following tick tock as well i'm not even honest no either muy so i didn't know no i'm not on it but there was like a kevin's dad made took my call out video and there's like over a million likes on it tell me this now if you get in the ring with jake paul how long does it last not very long it's not very long you know the way before the second round you have to understand i won't be going in there boxing him like a boxing fight i genuinely just couldn't rip his head off do you know what i mean this yeah i i've watched the guy you'd be walking out there and coughs you know i mean yeah yeah exactly that's more and more thinking you know that that's more my thinking and just get the job done and prove a point um i wouldn't have to go out and start boxing that goes where i'd normally box you know what i mean do you think it's for funny the way bj flores is almost putting his reputation on the line like lying to people how gorgeous jake paul is yo like bj flowers got an awful backlash off but like twitter went wild they're still arguing on twitter about me and jake paul even though i'm not involved bj is speaking up for jake and people are slagging him they're like yo bj you must have blue tony values money and that's why you're working with this guy blah blah blah and he's getting he's getting an offer going then i'd say he's uh wondering why he got involved at all i've even seen the few people slay the way he holds the pads and everything yeah that's okay so i might end up asking you to come over and sparrow with him as well who knows yeah you know what though it's just this whole world that's being created like like i said i just wanted to come home from dubai and go on my normal run and just run it all through my head and i've been doing it the last few days i still like i'm still shocked by it all you know i have all the the newspaper cuttings and websites all on my phone i was looking through them like two days ago and i'm thinking where has all this come from like you know it's just madness you couldn't you couldn't ride it and when it happened now i'm looking at all these other boxers and they're jumping under jake paul bandwagon like oh i'll fight him i'll find him i'll fight him you know what i mean it's not no because it was perfect for you because he basically called you out it's different if you were calling him out but he called you out and then you talked back so you basically got the call out that thousands of boxers would love to be getting the call out for yeah and then even shout out to willow as well calling out khabib as well it was funny because uh obviously i had a bit of whatever with jake paul and willow was after saying that whatever he said to kavit and andy o'neil uh messes into the group chat and goes dylan if you're going to miami i'm all with you but uh willow you're going to russia you're on your own [Laughter] i don't want one thing i will say though uh anytime i ever see khabib's tweets and it's longer than like four or five lines long and the english is perfect you know ali abdullah's ease tweeted and i wasn't gonna leave at all it's not even him talking yeah that definitely wasn't could be but he was talking about the teammates thing and that's what like said new new void but like yeah that was definitely idiot disease because i feel like khabib doesn't actually have as much hatred in his heart that the abdul disease has i feel like alibaba disease hates conor because he's calling them like yeah connor gave him an orphan yeah dude like i was just thinking there obviously true geordi does a live podcast for football but he also does for mma and boxing so when that j-pal thing goes on as well he could end up asking you on there as well it's it's my i'm trying to like put myself into your shoes because whether you like it or not you are you are sitting at this table now you were part of this world like yeah and just like the possibilities are going to be endless once travel restrictions uh like once once they let up and you get to yeah definitely like um a character i can play is rocking up to miami whenever i want you know it's out there now i'm known by all these jake paul fans are people that are against them regardless and whether it was this summer or this winter that i rocked up to america and done what i'm talking about that video would break the internet you know what i mean that'd be crazy so that's definitely a cara down by play um james english was in contact i'm very excited to go on his podcast that's that i was scratching my head thinking about that as well like i love james english's show i've watched all his podcasts i've been watching them from the start and when that message came true i was like oh man this is this is nuts this is madness and uh yeah that's what i'm excited for as well yeah i know you said you weren't going to do a lot of media but i definitely recommend doing that one yeah no yeah yeah yeah definitely a hundred percent i'm doing yeah there's a few there's a few ones that you're just like you have to do and like that's the same like there's nothing yeah like you you're only doing a disservice to yourself but not doing them and that's definitely yeah yeah for sure yeah like also what's taught to me last time when you're on the show for people who didn't check it out like it obviously went fairly viral and what you said near the end like it was actually points born and then even in the comments right when that video went well i was like there's gonna be some like there's gonna be negativity here i don't think there was there was barely any negative comments in the whole entire like like over 100 comments or how many was there there was nothing i think someone gave out about ross not wearing the the k the kb nutrition t-shirt that's only yeah no but i mean like when you said this was meant to happen that's what it like for the next few days that like it was your time things were meant to happen with this this was meant to happen that stolen me for a few days i was in work i was walking around i was like i think this was meant to happen like i think like the way we like we've had john numerous times we weren't just trying to like use you in any sort of way maybe other people are older people aren't who aren't who knows if people get used every day put it that way but when i was in work it was like if that episode went so well because we had a cool crack together uh yeah like we just we've been helping each other out like come out in your fights you've been coming on the show having a bit of crack but then like that video like put us over a thousand subscribers as well and then what me and ross have done in the background in the past months as well we've been in touch with like clan wars and cage legacy and gamma and we're going to be doing work for them for all the domestic origin amazing that's just one reason we've got our plans as well to have the lads on the show we can tell you all fair about that just in case uh just in case you say ben asking is going to steal it or something just there's just really really cool stuff going on for myself for us and that video like the week before i think our video got like 60 views or something right and then that one got 20 over 20 000 and i really really lit the fire on this myself and ross again and even another company got in touch with us as well saying they're watching their stuff and they're my bringing us on the roster as well so understand see this now this is the best thing they come with this whole jake paul thing i love seeing stuff like this happening that's unreal you haven't said that to me i'm delighted and what no ma'am well it's really got the ball around was like re-energized us yeah for the start of this year i heard it's like i was just like jeez like because we grinded so hard in 2020 at one side uh you're definitely part of it like we did 40 interviews in 40 days it was like doing lent yeah various people they don't know what that is for non-ordinary people i don't know if they'll know what that is but uh we did that and then and we're like we were just like trying to like you know crack it and then like that happened and then it was just it was just such a win for all of us that i was actually so bloated i was like i was like thank god dale's getting his push down and i was like i was like we're annoyed to take along or making all the right connections and like we have like loads of ufc fighters who like said they come on the show as well and brilliant yeah like our thing has always been we were talking to a guy today uh on instagram and it was like it's like oh zero or is your market or a niche for the irish mma it's like i don't think we i think our niche is that we're irish and we support our own but like we also sort of do everything like you know i mean we like to sort of you know support everyone especially people who support us and i think that's what you get with the energy show you actually get you sort of get what you give you know and if you will follow your career to the end yeah of course yeah that's why i wanted to thank you for that because like when you said that that really really helped but i could also put us over a certain amount of levels where the the next few videos are doing great and this is your own hard work and like i said it's well deserved credit to you no i agree with you i just want to say that to you just say it out to you and just be like just thanks for that and then yeah i know it as well it was just like it was just in france we're all just realized trying to make it and then like that it's mad how that one video really helped us all i know i know you did all the videos and helped even more but that one really really pushed us over the edge and then brilliant people were really like that was that was something brilliant well dale like before we wrap things up like obviously like you kicked off 2021 you do it in the bleeding doorbot like what i know you barely had time to get take it all in and obviously this is going to keep dragging out especially this video coming out now but also with the jake paul thing and then if conor gets to fight books just shortly after but like in an ideal world would you would you like your next team to be like going back into camp like would it be like training for conor again would it be having your own photo lined up would it be flowing over to la to call out jake like what sort of buzz are you looking for are you just open to every opportunity yeah open to every opportunity at the moment and like i said um the last few weeks have been like besides madness the dubois tripping was amazing and all but the jake paul thing made it a lot of stress at the same time i'd never been exposed to anything like that and regardless of my opinion on it like jake paul is going to be stuck to my name going forward for a very long time um but yeah i'm sure i've got a hit on my shoulders i'll come up with something i'll capitalize on it i'm just looking forward to some downtime my own my family just backed to my own like i said i like doing my own thing but in terms of my career it's back to the drawing board um back to the nitty gritty stuff you know just the stuff that people don't see but it's the stuff that gets you there just back working hard keeping the head down and uh yeah like i said in terms of publicity my name can't be out there anymore at this stage um broke the internet essentially two weeks ago all i need now is the big fights and i have no doubt that they will come that's where all this started for me and yeah it just definitely knows me a little bit closer so it's just back training we're in lockdown anyway and um yeah see what happens i'm very excited about the future when i was training in the house training as well are you feeling fresh yeah i only started back today properly i'm back eating right now i had a couple of days off because you need them you need a bit of downtime and i'm just processing all that happened the last two weeks obviously i was training hard in dubai also but um just the last few days i put the phone down i haven't been talking to anyone i have a good couple of messages to get back to after after this interview and people might be thinking i'm ignorant but i wasn't you just need to switch off for a bit and uh it was a lot to take in but i know what i'm at now i know i'm in an amazing position um yeah and like i said this has definitely nudged me a little closer to where i need to be so all all is good going forward until just uh one last sort of question from me um do you think your next move was probably your biggest move just due to the fact that your name and reputation is bigger now than ever i think like a 2020 jail could have you know you were just looking at the round in you were looking at the fights on but you mean you can't probably do a small fight somewhere with not a lot of coverage i think your next fight has to be almost on the telly yeah this is it and at the same time there's not a lot happening in boxing at the moment and you know i got into boxing with the dream of packed out arenas big fights rocky style fights the atmosphere um and i'd like to kind of wait for for for that time to come back around and i'm in a position where i can do so you know um i'll always be training i get plenty of hard sparring and i'd like to kind of seek over the way and and make them noise happen you know i've put a lifetime of work into this and uh like i said i'm nearly there and for it to end perfect for me i need to have them like so yeah i'd like to kind of leave covert go about its business leave the crowds come back and then kick into their gear towards the second half of this year hopefully or we could definitely see you on fury joshua hey who knows who knows like i said i wouldn't be surprised you know with everything that's happened in my life the last three weeks i'm not surprised about anything anymore that james english uh podcast as well would have a huge demographic for people who like that as well yeah and that's even madness like i'm yo like going on that is crazy and you're going over to him yeah it hasn't been decided yet travel restrictions and i obviously i haven't spoke to him about it but like like i said i'm a master fan of the james english podcast and to be sitting there talking to him is another moment where i'm going to be ha how is this happening then so yeah look life is pretty good at the moment i'm in a good position i'm back working hard as of today as i've always been and they're just excited about the future who knows what's going to happen yeah uh sorry like obviously i have some questions here by the way look how many questions came in for you like it's only going to smash jake paul up or uh something about connor i'll ask you a couple questions now but also who who like obviously just this has been such a whirlwind and like i'm sure you thought it would be but it's probably like quadrupled literally but uh who who are you going to sit down with and then talk to and go over what you sort of want to do next is there's some person you really trust or who's that one person or maybe a couple of people you're going to be like right this is the way i'm going to step next you know um at the moment there's lots of people everyone wants to talk to dylan today you know everybody and their cousin wants to have a sit down and talk with dylan so there's definitely a lot of options under there but like i said there was a lot going on i haven't even responded to any of them yet in terms of who's with me it's just me my close family my best friend steve and you often see him doing the page with me conor slater and that's as far as it goes you know we've made all this happen and andy o'neill how could i forget the cop man and yeah and you know that's all i need around me a lot of good people and uh yeah look we've been doing it right so far so i'm sure we'll get it right going forward i don't know if there's a reason these questions because we've already like gone over them it was like is was this the best experience in your life murder jake paul and why do you think jake paul doesn't want to fight real father who's going to win garcia pacquiao i think that's supposed to be an exhibition or something is it i actually seen manny pacquiao's lawyer released a statement uh saying basically like that ryan garcia is spreading fake news and nobody should be implementing his career pacquiao's career so yeah look who knows it's a mad world we're living in pacquiao and ryan garcia doing an exhibition um all them questions you got there guys i'm getting loads of them still every day uh yeah if it keeps up i'm gonna have to fight jake paul maybe i'll get back on the jake paul buzz next week and start chasing this guy i don't know like i said i'm just hoping that they're all options going forward uh this is one of our questions from where our mates uh roll queen he goes does he feel like he's made it now that he's being interviewed by the top two presenters in the world [Laughter] before we wrap up wrap it up lads uh aleister over him is fighting this weekend in the ufc ufc is back in vegas he's taking on volkov uh lads have you got any predictions for this fight dale actually is that one question before you go this made you more invested in may in ufc now go be involved in that camp do you have a show more of an act of interest in it now yeah definitely and a lot more respect for it now that i've seen i had like i was a flight on the wall for all the training sessions and i seen the work that goes into it and towards what i do myself and it's a lot more to juggle you know in terms of preparation and yeah definitely my respect has gone through the real fart um i always had a bit of an interest in it anyway but now going forward after being involved in that boy camp yeah for sure it's definitely increased should be watching all of them yeah yeah yeah clearing to this heli ross out for that fight volkov or over him uh i'm gonna go for over him even though i probably oh you know what it's one of those things my heart says over in my head says volkov but uh i'd love to see the remake one last one with the belt he's 4-1 in the last five his only loss came at a sort of a semi-controversial stoppage to jarazino rosenstroik and i think he he's actually going to take down volkov and him with a bit of ground and pound that's my thought splash on i'm going to go over him as well did you give a shout there i'm going to go over him because i don't know the other guy yeah there we go yeah yeah just a couple of quick mentions here as well corey sandag is taking on frankie edgar ross the answer is back yeah the answer is back um i still think sand hagan's the young dog in that fight and i think he's a bit more hungry than frankie is yeah and then uh also we have to give an honourable another great fight to watch out for is michael johnson against clay guida but we have to give a shout out to our mate molly mccann is back as well this weekend but uh like that's how do we wrap this up how do we how do we how do we wrap this up you know i mean it's such a crazy it's been a month it's been crazy and that was literally the very very very end of 2020 that was our last show in 2020 2021 has been unreal but um i think we're all on course for a big year ahead of us on i think you know we're all in this together we'll all keep on continuing to support each other and look i'm just looking forward to see what opportunities arise dale you're you have to be in the top five most uh people you have to watch this year and like for everyone watches you have to be i saw the i think when the irish newspapers came out with like the top 10 people you have to watch this year and i was just like nah good luck like it's it's getting more and all day man like what are you talking about i hate the way they like just don't give the sports stars the stuff they deserve especially katie's headers she won another award for for probably winning so many awards you got another and like it's still not even mentioned it's crazy crazy world but um still thanks to mill for coming on the show i know you said you you you were going to play off the other shows to come and do ours and like like that's the like obviously that's a great feeling because i'm like because we're mates but i mean like uh i appreciate the fact that you're like joey these lads gave me like got me on then i'm going to give them back pain it back pain forward whatever way you want to look at it you know of course of course like i said day ones you know what i mean that's that's just how i might shout you out for a fight you already can point yeah yeah for people for people who um for people that want to start shelves like this to see people new podcasts to start neuter it's not easy it's great it's growing in something wrong with this for years as i said the show before we had dylan we had like 60 views the show we had dillon had over 20 thousand and that's what gave us a start so like it's a long game you never know which way it's going to go but the best part about it is doing who are your best mate and now another best making best mates with deal as well yeah we have to we 100 percent want to come to one of your fights as well hey like joe's mad when this lockdown is over i'm actually gonna have to meet you of course hopefully not man hopefully enough i'm not talking about that still it's really nice to say because like your journey this year has been unbelievable and it's really like it goes to show that some stuff like this is possible is there a like people that are watching you now to put a full stop to this whole jay paul thing until tomorrow we're like what what you sort of want to say just like um because after all only you know you're a great lad and you're just trying to provide like for yourself and your family and live your best life you know i mean at the end that you're not out here trying to kill anyone literally but uh what a what what you have to say to the to the audience now that like now they're after listening for the best part of an hour and they're just like what does dylan moore have to say for two people and for the rest of year i can't wait to hear this now i think the message most people take for me is that hard work pays off i am definitely a prime example that i and keep showing up like it's just not going to be easy but it's going to be worth it you know what i mean and with all that's happened for me now i'm like proper excited about the future i'm like god knows what's going to happen if i just keep doing my thing stay in my own lane keep putting the graft in like how much bigger can it get do you look what i've ended up and i'm just a normal hard worker just trying to get there like i saw generally by putting the graft in took the good with the bad you know what i mean i had the hard yard and look what we've just been talking about i broke the internet two weeks ago do you know what i mean my name on worldwide attached to one of the most famous fellas on instagram it's nuts and i know i'm in an amazing position ready to capitalize on that and why because i just put in the graft you know what i mean i believed that something was going to happen for me and it did and i'm no different than anybody else that's watching this video there you have a pasmo there we have it hard work patience persistence and talent that's the real deal dylan moore and ladies and gentlemen so guys i just want to say thanks a million for everyone again who did watch the show and thanks dylan for coming on make sure to like share subscribe and as always
