And with Paramaki, you're ahead of Virtus.6 at Healy Park in Oma, a stage that you're not
on a custom to.
I know this one's going to be your official amateur debut, but we've seen you tried and
tested in that cage in the novice rule set, haven't we, over the last while?
Yeah, it's good to be back again, fighting, making the step up, you know, optometry.
I think it's a good time, you know, I'm ready.
I love, and the amount of shows that I've called over the last couple of years, there's
been that growing swell of novice fights open in the current.
I absolutely love that because I see you guys rounding out your skill sets and then turning
up on the amateur scene ready to take on some really good fights. Have you found good value
in that and getting that handful of novice level fights?
Yeah, really. I mean, like, if you look at all the fights I've had, all the boys about
the novice that are good, that are just, you know, like me about to make step up to amateur,
like, you know, I thought all the best guys, like, so I really think that's going to, going
to stand to me, you know, whenever they're on a micro.
Yeah, seeing you guys rocking into the amateur scene, just a bit better rounded than someone
who's coming in raw having only trained in the gym but now you get to add some new weapons
into your game.
