the weight on point ah there there the belts ready to [ __ ] rumble oh yeah i don't i don't hang up i don't hang around too much heavier than fly away or i'm a big fly away that's what i was thinking as well uh for people that aren't actually clued in jerry is fighting this weekend on clown wars it's on saturday we're going to put a link down in the bio to hit the link to buy the pay-per-view uh this is actually a new feature we're coming out with myself and ross this is a one-two watch we're kicking off with mr jerry harris uh ross take it away but so there you're the first ever fighter we've had on this new show it's called energize want to watch and jer we've been speaking to you on roddy we've been speaking to and paul fogerty and one hit management and they couldn't speak any more highly of you so how did you get started off your mixed martial arts journey uh we started off when we we forced we done a little bit of boxing i started when i was about eight just in an hour james didn't really take to what i forced what i was always just one of them we was always active it was always on the road blade and scrapping and that so i never could have a little brownie thought it was always just like troy they were in the ring but then i remember one of my mates started me mate ryan hannigan he started when we were 11. and then he goes i'm at the start and this kick boxing up where the fella called down ruddy's some foyer from barrymore i was like yeah i thought i better join that he's not being a better player than me [Laughter] we ended up joining murder man we we just trained like he was me trying apart and competed to get like to get out right up until we are about 15 and then he broke his arm then i know he left and we just kept taking over that was that there and here you are here you are to this day so you started off your uh your mma journey with owen roddy and will this be your first fight without him in your corner now if actually most of me fights we've been unlucky like well the gown hasn't been enemy conor he was in me corner for me forcefully and then me he was in the corner from he forced point me second for you then he told fully he was away with i'm pretty sure he was away with mcgregor and then up in belfast he was there for so that was me fartfully then he wasn't there for the world so the two fleets i had over there he wasn't there for because they were in like that was the irish team so then we fought in the in rome and uh bahrain he wasn't there for either and then he wasn't there for me last week because he was it was all locked down and i was training over in liverpool with a spoiler so the lads from a spoiler fail and that then had tommy connor over that time other than that like all the all the lads from young gym scott harvey stole me corner and gav kelly's doing me corner and my currents and rolling quarters is going to be the only corner for this for um clinton's got a stormy corner like it doesn't really bother me um paddy get in there with you can they no that's it the [ __ ] the the job stone boy then now to me and i have to agree on [ __ ] he would have walked myself i'm trying them for yourself and for for someone who's never seen your foot before chair what would you tell them your soil is like i just like to go out there and [ __ ] finish fights like going out in there this isn't a competition to me at the end of the day i'm in there at the low point like yeah it's great getting the belts and all and getting wins and having that like reaping the water the rewards afterwards but we just love getting in there at a point and i enjoy it and when it allows playing brother into us since i started we don't we don't just free we fight the finish no better book of the bret ninja and uh this is going to be your last fight as an amateur correct yeah definitely yeah one hundred percent i'm gonna go pro after this when i make a big bang on the proceed and tell us this what do you think your opponent matthew friel and where do you think you have the advantages over er we know he's a worthy fella on the floor like oh like to be honest i don't watch people too much i let me couches and stuff build up because in amateur it's like he could be training for six months not have a fight and then like be trying i'll have a fight and fix his mistakes and he'd be moving on then and developing this game and other places or now he has worldly hips and that's pretty much it i'm just like if it goes to the floor i'm just stay connected tell him [ __ ] crack them and that'll be it like on the floor don't there's not there's not many people going to be out there nobody's going to beat me especially like i don't like when i know he's fairly sharp on the ground but it's i'm sharp on the ground army finishes our submissions i know you have finishes i have knockouts as well now what i mean well then not all your finishes are submissions but yeah i know what you mean all me submission i'll be finished our submissions but i have knockouts as well that's it to jerry harris way uh jared tell us this uh obviously you know you your career is being guided by uh paul known where did you see your first uh pro debut boy happening what what promotion and to be honest we haven't got our mindset on anything yet but like i wouldn't mind like the likes of brave have [ __ ] grey show was going on at the moment cage warriors have like grey shows going on the moment even clan wars clan wars cage legacy shows like that a couple of local shows forced and go on to the european scene i'd say and then [ __ ] and take over from there like it's the way oh you see it going we see the next two years we can see himself two to three years we'll be looking at the ufc is that the goal ufc you would be interested in going you get gold yeah it depends it does see where it takes us but when depending how much water they put in your bread doesn't it that's it yeah you know what i mean if there's no biscuits with the tea we're not taking it uh jared how long ago did you really sit down and take this 100 seriously um we've always talked serious i've always just like we've always been the type of person no matter what i've done or you [ __ ] i try [ __ ] harder now what i mean i don't i don't like i don't like i'm competitive i don't like being beat and i don't like when i'm in the gym i'm the only one putting the hardest walking on that ma when i don't i don't like losing one bit between rounds and the map are in the catch and also like for being a fighter as well just going through covid and how difficult it's been for people let alone going to training but like um like what have you really learned in yourself or what have you really improved on over the last year uh the last year i've been really focusing on me wrestling and grappling like and bridging the two together know what i mean because it's one being like being good at jiu-jitsu and good at wrestling and it's finding the happy medium in between when you when you can when you need to be able to like stop play stop lads here are really good at jiu-jitsu stop the hips and stay connected to them and then again like being able to like not just defend wrestlers being able to wrestle with them as well i feel that's where we've developed most over the last year year and a half and between meow and jim and then a spoiler across the water there as well plenty of great lads over there who are really good at wrestling with the enemy own gym we're all majority the majority of the lads are strikers wicked wrestling as well like we have lads up there with great wrestling like even cordell's good wrestling and max lally we're always over and we go over to sergey's place as well so we've been working hard everywhere in our image yeah also from watching your videos and following each other you can see that you really really love it even when you're doing striking with your dad and your little brother you know yeah the business we love love a good training session in the gap and that's the thing the whole the whole family's invested with me like he started like doing a little little bits of box and we colors and that and then he started being able to take me on the pad then and then he took a real interest in like like he understands how we move and things like that and he knows what combinations to put together for me and then if we want the drill something we just saw him and he picks her up like that and then my little brother he's just coming up through the roots and filling the runners now as well and the gloves and the gloves yeah the runners in the gloves and yeah i'm just i'm looking forward to seeing him develop as a he's going to be a [ __ ] little animal he's boxing our belly buck at the moment and stuff and he's just like he's down sparring every week and he's doing great so it's great to see him enjoying it as well and already you still don't know who's boss ah definitely get the couple he gets the hairy side of the hand on me every day does he get the small plate yeah around sb charlestown uh spg charlestown must be absolutely incredible obviously lee is coming off a win there that that up kick into the triangle now as well yeah looking forward to saying and that's the thing like if you're looking look at all the fighters over jim we all look to finish there's nobody [ __ ] hugging ass and playing looking like out division wins and that energy even even rounds in the gym there's no winning rounds we just like don't get me wrong we're all good grapplers in it like just we're all very high level on the ground as well but we're out there to pull people away and that's what we like to do and you can see that throughout the whole gym from the kids right up to the blade and pros yeah it did dean barry just confirmed today he got his visa to go to america for the ufc as well delighted for him because he had a little bit of trouble where it would like hopefully i'll go as well now when he gets there gets a couple of points going because it's great publicity for the dream and it gets the ball rolling for all of those then it's like geez he's doing well who's next from there now what i mean i know he won't be right in that lawyer definitely there's more roy's on spg charlestown now than there ever has been although like is dean never come home because he seems like he's living his best life over there ain't having a plane quality little holiday over there he's living the life to come he's missing out on this dublin hopefully he'll be back soon in the hands yeah yeah he gets down and hopefully getting bear and that was on points for him and stuff there's another question for me he said june june possibly possibly well i'm sure we'll get them on we'll find out but yeah like i just one last question for myself how does it feel to be like fighting in ireland now and knowing that a lot of people are looking at you being like this could be the next big thing even though i won't hit management put that video out for you as well it was probably the most professional video i've seen put out in the build up for clown wars but like how does that feel knowing that there's like a whole lot of people backing you and a lot of people looking forward to seeing you progress open up the levels like to be honest we love every part of it i love it like i love the train i'm right to the points i love being in the cage i love i love like people talking about or i'm [ __ ] coming up to me and asking and saying oh i can't wait to watch it for you it gives me a little bit of a boost but at the end of the day i'm in there for myself and i do this because i love it now it's great to have a good buzz around you and stuff and we think we'll attract that either way because i'm not afraid to tell someone i'm gonna smash that [ __ ] face in because that's what i will do on most fights and that's the way i'm looking looking to carry on with me [ __ ] looking to finish fights and get big points and then when also when you when you won the eye mass in 2018 at 125 pounds what was that like when you came home oh it was brilliant like everybody friends family everybody's buzzing for you and everybody's very proud and like to be honest i love them all when i get back to the gym because it's the lads who are seeing me put the walk in and they're saying they're like [ __ ] fair play and then you're there to help them get on with their voice as well and like like they're confident in knowing that you're there trying a pattern and they're more trying to parent that we're all training together and we're developing together saying like seeing a trainer partners win fights and stuff it's great so and i want to come back and like or do you get the best bows off them because you're at the beginning training and inspiring with them and saying i caught him with what i'm at me and catching you know what i mean and it's great little boys around but it is great to have like a community like the likes of like around my area at valley moon and stuff everybody knows snowden it's like everybody saw it gets behind yeah it's cheering it on and like no it's non-stop messages we ignored me and everybody like getting behind you and stuff stuff it's great to have them hopefully it continues really into the pros and silver at the top yeah well that's what we had kicked off it is needy he's like clark clinton kent with those glasses on to superman yes yeah obviously it's the countdown to saturday so uh and you have to get your bloodstone but ross is there anything else to say to jared before you wrap things up no jared i just want to say yeah thanks a million for your time we are really looking forward to uh watching it for you you're definitely one of the highest level fighters on the card looking forward highest level for it are coming out of orlando and that's that and if anybody has that to say about getting the cage at me and prove me wrong that goes for pros as well we don't give a [ __ ] i'm able to finish anybody out there especially on the feet and if you try to take me down you're getting strangled they are getting your answer calm it doesn't bother me or else you'll get your little brother after them as well that's it we just send him in after me now what i mean say sweep them up they're a kid before before you before you do go give us a prediction for the fight how does it finish i'm looking for a finish on the fee i'm looking for something special i'm looking to go out there and get another boy head kick knock out oh it doesn't but it can it can finish anywhere i see this fella he's getting correct he's going to start looking for submissions and stuff oh he's going to start trying to do it for the legs and he's just either going to get strangled or i'm going to spark him out on the way in there's nobody going to stand in front of me and take shots there there we have a plasma huge future ufc floyd weight and i'm sure someone said she'll group the bantamweight as well they can probably all get up full of water maybe we'll take them [Laughter] and then when i get to that level where i feel comfortable at like floyd way and i've destroyed that whole division we will look at bantamweight as well so what is your jersey are you i'm only 22. yeah you're still
