just tuning in now the two lads are competing that cage warriors 135 this friday live in the bbc arena in manchester and exclusive on lucy bypass ross absolutely i'm absolutely buzzing to see the lads get out there and show their stuff james how is preparation going for you on this one and are those brothers ears giving you the hard rounds in the gym you're looking for oh absolutely uh graeme especially i'm so used to being the little brother that i used to just mess around with in the gym small bit i now slowly but surely he's like it's the one time now he's heavier than me i'm just fine what's happened what's happening to me and he's slowly like getting more and more shots each fantastic now he's just trying to beat me so the [ __ ] the disrespect of the little brother beat me up but uh yeah it's great and matthew matthews had angel at the moment and he'll be back soon but uh yeah graham graham's serious serious level now yeah and did it er did it go in your benefit now that you have the likes of like dean barry getting ready for ufc debut moz price fighting showtime pedersoon and pfl and then yourself all getting ready for fights at the same time as well the reds are doing polaris we all know we still won the hardest rounds in the gym yeah yeah it's it's just them it's just great to have like a good buzz around the gym like everyone's on kind of the same path and like it's the same mentality that like everyone wants to get in good work and stay there stay the extra rounds at the at the end and kind of just pick each other's brains like see like when other people are going through wake ups as well it's kind of kind of nice just to where kind of confined in there and them as well so it's good it's good good good buzz in the gym i think keenan what about tune and how is he getting on and uh i think he's your number one sparring partner i think i'd say the wars that you guys have over the breakfast tables enough that alone at the wars in the gym uh he's getting a bit too big for me now he's not going to be honest hey mike's probably my number one sparring at the minute mike dundee to be honest but i turn these uh he's actually fighting on saturday night so we're kind of been count the whole time together and then obviously uh ufc london you were added to your teammate's father obviously tom aspinall won the biggest winners of the night and then obviously yeah it was very sad to see micron deludes especially with his father being sick and what were the emotions like of that night for you that's it like when you when you're fighting that level and you bring two laws to ufc even you're fighting at [ __ ] any level if you bring like multiple guys to a show you're probably gonna end up at least one [ __ ] loss so i was like yeah obviously absolutely golden for make but then tom was more just saying like more to say i'm just surprised like not surprised but like i came like everyone i was like holy [ __ ] that was that was so easy more than anything but uh that was that that was the one thing like all of us watching him i thought i was like man that was that looks so easy i was thinking to see him no i looked he was he was looking dude in the gym he had like very specific guys he's like sick ten get six ten guys in every [ __ ] day for volkov and then he uh i smashed it because he's he's flying i need high five can you tell us how much have you you've improved since joining team kaoban as well because like you'd be known very like very well around here but can you tell us how much you've improved since moving over to liverpool uh honestly i couldn't uh there's not so excited to perform this weekend i've kind of been on the that like just really been in the gym the whole culvert the whole pandemic we had like guys they were competing in all the cage warriors coming in kids were as champions kids were baldor gays a lot of big names in the uk because whenever a lot of the gems were closed down most like our gym kind of became like a hub because that like a late thing was pills fighting whitaker and stuff yeah and i was fight responding with these guys and training their calm hearing and these cage wars champions and belt her names are coming in and i've been flying flying in the gym and i'm just so excited to once i'm occasion i know now i can get tested and on the big show and show my skills but uh i can't wait like i couldn't i couldn't sum up how much i've improved and how much i've changed since i've come to team carbon uh confidence-wise wrestling is that's the most uh the biggest change i would say whenever i used to fight an average team coming up i just strike and then guys would take trying to take me down and they would get me things like nowhere and i would maybe reverse position and win but now i think i'm going full circle because since i've come here the last four years my main train partner has been make and that we tiny cowboy kids like tiny kids with an elite level wrestler yeah and i've completely changed i've become i like an elite level scrambler i feel like elite level scrambler i don't believe there's a bounty on the planet could at least hold me down at the minute has become my thing so i wouldn't uh i couldn't actually i couldn't sum it up but i also know that words mean [ __ ] all you have to go ahead and do it when it matters so the lights will be showing brightly this friday because this would be your first pro appearance on cage wars but james you're on you're a bit of a veteran almost this will be your fifth pro appearance in the cage warriors cage um yeah yeah my fifth yeah and james and the welterweight division's uh a bit more up in the air at the moment um obviously ian gary left the ufc and that that they our belt has been vacated ever since do you think a win here puts you right in loin for a total shot no i don't think one win i think by the end of the year though uh i will have stayed my claim in the division and like i know they've they've said about belfast as well i feel like i'll get a dominant win here go to belfast show that uh i can pull in a good few fans and then put on another dominant performance and then i don't know what cage was plans out for the rest of the year but i'm gonna get three good solid wins underneath there under my uh today sorry not today this year and then i feel like that would put me in a serious position because there's there's there's a few guys that like are kind of there and i've been very active like i know fig lacks been very active and now what's a burlington is fun this weekend i think against someone else who uh two hours i've never even heard the other guy but he must be good but it's definitely open the air like proctor reese mckee is still floating about without yeah rhys mckee there as well and then um adam proctor i remember he fought mason jones for the for the title and then he kind of just went missing i don't know if he's coming back or what but uh yeah it's it's it's exciting times in the welterweight division anyway i know they're the names you're looking to get your yourself in there with come june 25th anyone literally all them folks i like to focus on one fight at a time but uh anyone whoever cage was giving like as you see from my from my uh my record like that i'll i'll fight anyone regardless like map on my pro debut and then in like i'll fight anyone yeah because we're looking at his record ross uh james's only defeat have been to former cage warriors champions yeah and um discord this guy hasn't won a cage warriors belt there so he's he's in for a rough night that's what that's what i'm going to say uh keith what about yourself uh obviously dom woolens champ there now i know i know you've had a few words of them you're no stranger to a bit of beef on instagram so uh what what's your attention i couldn't i wouldn't have mentioned because i i'd be honest like i wouldn't think i would never say like something that i don't deserve i don't deserve to fight for a kid's worst time everybody fought a few [ __ ] bombs and because the fallout stuff isn't the reason so i don't deserve to fight down like if they give me a fight with him like i will smash his [ __ ] head and i just don't deserve it yet see him as nathan i don't deserve to fight him yet give me two or three wins actually dominick's away they're condemned seriously it looks that way it looks that way nothing's been confirmed i love sorry so if he goes away the belt becomes vacant i don't beat this guy that we can deserve to be in the title i'm also in no rush i'm a no rush for the ufc i don't need to take time to beat the guys in cage wars right now but um i if that belt becomes vacant i don't know who they're gonna fight for probably nathan or somebody but i'd like to fight kingsley and belfast after i'll play if i get this one i don't deserve to fight nathan with anyone look at that i don't think but i think if i get a dominant win this weekend against this kid i think i could fight i think i do deserve to fight someone like kingsley and i'd fight him in the belfast show if i could get that yeah and then they're looking at this with this friday's card uh what do you know about it back to uh your opponent back your guitar uh i i've been watching i only actually got them like last friday or last or something like that it's been short notice yeah um i will it's just shortness on the opponent i've known with this this is like the first time as a pro i've known about a dip for like eases i've known about the date but i only got him last week he just can't um hey now he's facing he's he just comes at you like a madman i think his last lady he came out and he finished the game like two minutes but like he's i don't think he's very good he's like aggressive and a brawler but i don't think he's oh he's the best than us um james i just want to go back to yourself obviously we've only seen you in the cage warrior cage once in the last two years um what what should carol michelac expect home this weekend uh what should he expect a tough a tough fight um should we expect this friday absolutely the best like it's it's so cliche that like you hear every single photo be like oh yeah this camp is the best camp and every time i'm coming in here great like it's it's just it is like it just is the best camp i've had like my weights on point of of work exactly what i wanted to work i got the sparring that i wanted to get in and i think the opponent is perfect for me and james who are you bringing over to manchester with you it's andy redder and then uh graham as well oh you had to have the bro in the corner you wouldn't have it who's making who's making the trip to manchester uh much shorter trip for yourself hey there's a few last coming over for like the for the second like what yeah they've been in the corner will be calling her and mike grundy probably i don't like tearing him in because he's like fighting the next night and then he'll be in the crowd i don't know if he'll be like backstage so mike and con best of skills of turning as well on saturday night yeah that's absolutely because i i can't say enough really looking forward to seeing it um super excited for the up and coming belfast card as well and we can't wait to see all the fighters on that and i think uh with two big wins for yourself you put yourself in a great position to get on that card that's exactly what we want to see uh before we do let you guys go um different foilers at this stage as a career have sort of different hopes and aspirations um okay let's start with yourself what's what's the end goal for your career is to go to the ufc is from world champion there i know that's such a probably cliche thing to say but some people actually have uh different hopes and dreams so what are yours to be the best baltimore on the planet with ufc champion that's where i left my friends and family i moved to liverpool to finally train that's my goal to be the ufc bandwidth world champion and james what about yourself i i know matthew became the first ever imaf gold medalist from ireland so like you have a bit to do now to catch up for past that fella oh yeah well once i get that cage for his belt i feel like that trumps that i feel like that's from that amateur amateur belt like so yeah yeah well we'll focus on the cage where's bell for the moment but uh yeah that's that's definitely in the pipeline you'd love to see a buzzword don't you yeah no that was a great question i mean this is now going to be up in uc foy pass so it'd be great to look back over the next few years and see how much the last progressed because like we're fortunate we've gotten into this position ross and it's great to
