jared we'll start with yourself yeah brilliant looking forward to it it's a it's a big platform you know ufc fight pause of course um really really looking forward to putting on a show you know um it's a decent-sized cage as well it's a bigger cage than usual and i'm really looking forward to it and it's much better having my teammate fighting as well on the same car now you know yeah we can make the trip out uh for uh liam and uh patrick a bit better as well to have the two lights over there you know and glenn what about yourself how much are you looking forward to honestly and it is gonna sound silly but i just can't wait to punch [ __ ] out of someone it's been so long i just can't wait to put knuckles the chin you know what i mean i just want to put this guy out i don't want any wrestling or anything i'm just going to try and blow his face off from the first minute like i'm trying to blow his face off so i can give a [ __ ] about the cage the show or anything uh fcr i'm appreciative they're putting a show on and and they do run it like [ __ ] me it's run so well enough yeah but i just wanna i just want to blow his face off like so that's that's what's going to happen flynn do you go out your way to get matchups where your opponent's names are next to impossible to pronounce well listen machete let's just call him machete and i don't even know his name to be honest swan bari or some [ __ ] saki saki bom um i just list i couldn't give a [ __ ] who it is to be honest i i i want to fight everyone so all the russians all the mega medals that's what i want uh jared your your flight was obviously announced first for fcr can you tell us how this came about as well because for people tuning in now they're probably not too aware of the promotion obviously it's on youtube five passes it's a big deal but like how did it come about for yourself chair yeah i'm just actually just after a fake um and kids conflict and then i had like a week off and my coaches just contacted me and said uh there's a fight here if you if you want to take it and i looked into it and i couldn't turn this right there and like you know i couldn't turn it down it's a that's a fade over in sweden it's a new ufc fade past so what else do you want you know when i have looked that guy up he's a decent guy as well so i can't wait to get him put on the show and take him out and show people what i'm all about you know yeah this is obviously a big opportunity for yourself chair like you're going home you're going against zoran millage he's obviously a hometown favorite well the hometown deployed or like like how does that feel going into the line no yeah i talked about back how does it feel going into the lines then in sweden and like like really close i know i actually like it more i i actually thrive off that more you know i've done it before went over to england wake their guide and their hometown um i was in birmingham or something i was fighting that and it was the same thing the whole arena was for that guy and i went in and wiped them out i'm going to do the same here in sweden and then i feel like you're someone else who feeds off the crowd i i'm sure you're you're going to just have a bit of noise before you get in there 100 i'm not dying to see calms that i don't that's the only person i don't want to see is calms up like if calm's out there you won't hear a peep out of me but everyone else is getting it like so yes guys this guy's from all stars too so it would be good um obviously i have a history with that james you know i'm saying um so i'm i'm excited to go in the enemy enemy territory and uh even the guy burns he's fighting [ __ ] from the same gym you know what i mean so it's fai versus all stars you know what i mean and we're just going to dominate well either of yous be sitting on top of the cage like how's that dude in his last flight do you want to join well i've been on top of the case we have my home flag that's for sure when i'm not as scared that's the answer or else that's what we'd like to see uh jared may we have you sitting there with your team at home with you what makes glemmic face award glenn's just a [ __ ] maniac to be quite honest he has balls of steel and he had faded anyone you know he's he's so awkward and he's a guy most people don't want to fake you know when he's he's a confident guy and yeah and then the game what makes chair burn so good jared is by far he he said i'm like my bastard but he's by far the craziest [ __ ] that i've ever met in my whole life like you could he the wars we've had in the gym like we go 15 minutes straight just trying to kill each other like and wars you know it's it's something that you don't you don't get when you're in there like these guys these guys be wilding and and starting to quit when we're just we're just getting going like we're like [ __ ] after smiley's i think it was his last fight he said to me he was like that was the dog house rounds that did it like it was maybe it was the one before that against matthew friel but he was like it was the doghouse rounds that did it and it really is like i know when i'm in there and i feel these guys like my last fight the guys just started quitting like when i was on top and it's like smileys try spawning for 15 minutes there's no quit you know what i mean there's no give there's no anything it's like if if you have to take it off him but if you he's coming for it back straight away like he wants to [ __ ] eat you whenever he's in there so you don't get that with these other guys it's not easy when you have it's not easy when you have clients swinging elbows at you tell us this chairs and do you think it's it's those doghouse rounds the heavy spars in fao that makes the the gym it is today you have like some of the top talent in the country paul you joe mccollugh and you know ryan curtis and scott harvey are coming up and trying a bit there now like is that what makes it uh one of the best gyms in the country not i wouldn't say that is the only thing no definitely not i say the level of coaching is one for sure and the level of talent also following behind the level coaching is is just insane you know and we've got so many guys around each week they're facing so many top class guys also um so i'd say that would be a big part of why where we're at in a minute no but the doghouse rounds are important i think for me personally they build that they build that toughness you know you're going and you're you're having serious rounds like serious rounds against fresh guys every round and uh coming in the anime fight after a load of doghouse rounds who's the biggest nightmare in that gym for you jared who comes in after you're at round three and you're like oh no say it i'll be big here to be quite honest and then small bombs kind of knock me out that's it yeah that's all about building the mantle toughness as well you know so it is i'm glad i like manifest so i wouldn't just pinpoint one no that's fair enough that's fair enough i don't know because like glenn you epitomize that like we all saw you talk and mohammed mccoy on a few days notice when people are given six months and they won't say yes to the fella even in the ufc then you know even though when he came off your second loss you jumped in a week later and went and won in emphatic style so like we know you're as game as anything yeah that was it but do you feel like glenn mcveigh was born in the doghouse bo bo posted before he got master saying that he didn't have an opponent for ufc and i commented on honestly i will fight you in the ufc like literally if if i could have got that one fight and went to the ufc and fought him like that that would have been something i did like right now like i know it's i know it sounds crazy but right now i would have did it and uh yeah i don't know like it's definitely a mixture of of growing up just being a crazy [ __ ] and then also going to a gym where everyone's just hard as [ __ ] so you don't like it just it builds character as well so like if you're already tough and hard and you want to scrap and then you're in a gym with all tough hard people who want to scrap you just like you you almost grow calluses in your mind the way the way paul hughes put it you grew calluses in your mind and you just couldn't go through anything like so that's that's the way i feel about it like shout out to all of you that's like you can't talk about top gyms in ireland without you the fai what is it about the coaching that you're that you're you're alluding to earlier i think it was jer like with patrick and name like what is it about these two guys that are really pushing the gym onto the next level and taking making the whole country and europe take notice so if you give it you give them but you get back you know and and the coaches really do put it in you know they do their homework the study they really put it in that connection with every fighter you know it's that that's a big part of it i'm going what about yourself like what what is it with the lads we we're often without each other like literally like the the effort the effort i wouldn't want pat's life i would want shandu's life like they they they live for us you know what i mean like every every night they're they're giving up uh social lives they're giving a family life they're giving up this and and we're just coming up you know what i mean if we want to take a day off we take a day off but but they can't take a day off they have to be up coaching they have to give a hundred percent of our effort and and for someone like like our coaches are insane and even the talent that we have in the gym who's sharing like i i'm learning off everyone i learned a little uh a little stepping left hook off of or mcdonald uh a few weeks ago once barn and like matt elliot the the knowledge he has in judo and wrestling and nice he loves blowing people's faces off but if you stop him for a second and you just ask about some like you know intricacy and a judo trip or a judo throw or or like a double leg then yeah it's so much internal that it's like we other other people come to stream with us and they see it but we don't need anyone else like we we we are like a unit and we just go in there that's why we're so confident i feel like when i'm going into the cage it's it's the equivalent of of about 50 people going into the cage whereas these other people are coming in and yeah they might be close to their coaches but not like we're close to our teammates and coaches it's it's it's different like it really is different yeah i'm sure plasma your void but tracks your tribe man there that's right open fao he looks scary yeah i thought that we had liam and patrick were hanging off as the cage like shadow to the lads as well uh that's why make sure you have to tune in watch glenn and jared compete on fcr 12 live and uc fly pass on the 7th of may it's also the same day as uc 274 so the wet your whistle you can tune in and watch the last fight and then you can you can crack on with you'll see ross you should uh take it away but yeah and before we do go guys uh let's let's get a quick prediction from yourself uh jared how do you get the job done on the night i think we'll knock them out or else choking no no they are i don't really care as long as i put him out of there i'm freddie in the first round i'm gonna blow his face off his shoulders okay and then i'm gonna say marshall rogan what a [ __ ] my crypto [ __ ] i love love uh
