two of the most handsome and best fighters of next gen Liverpool it is the sale Port Strangler it is Nathan Fletcher and Liz the king of France it's the one and only Adam Cullen Lads how are we doing doing very good boys usually moving up in the world aren't you I don't think you're the sponsor last time we come on and now the forge Stout hey let's see Fair places it's nice the previous and smoothest out in the game congratulations on the new uh on the new sponsorship boys thank you very much thanks very much and means a lot to US helped us uh keep doing what we're doing and uh producing that premium uh content you know what I mean so uh we love we love a premium stay for the premium content promos man you know what you know for that that's obviously Kate Warriors Manchester it's going to be a bit of a next-gen takeover a next-gen odds on the card uh you guys are up the top of the top of the bill uh how much are you looking for this and what is the ball is the next 10 at the moment what all these fights coming at the one time yeah it's flying at the minute the gyms ABS going off I mean like you said eight of us on the card and I don't think anyone in the gym thinks it's going to be anything but eight finishes and eight brutal finishes at that during me and we're all coming in peaking at the right times all trading together and we everyone just can't wait for it so I mean I especially can't wait to get in there no niece the same but all the lights we know it's going to be a big big man to the gym yeah absolutely uh obviously Nate you you live a bit uh further away from the gym and does it make that drive there too and for all the gym that bit easier knowing that you're going in there with so many active bodies at the same time yeah it definitely does I think it just helps your training kind of helps with everything that you're going through the emotions you're going through the the tough sessions and that with the lads you're all fighting on the same date so we've all got the same goal in mind you know what I mean so it's kind of like a shared a shared experience which does definitely make it a lot easier but I get a little baby gets me through the drives to and from the gym as well so yeah that makes the drive and a bit easier for people tuned in now the lads are competing on the 29th of September in Manchester's BEC Arena make sure to check it out it's going to be live on UFC fully pass Ross we're absolutely pausing further aren't we yeah absolutely it wasn't for it can't wait for um Nathan tell us this I think the question on everyone's lips is how come this one wasn't for the toils everyone wanted to see you with their cage Warriors Bells wrap around your waist are you disappointed it's not for the title and surely win here next can only mean that bounce away title and toy yeah I know everyone probably was expecting for me to be fighting for the title next especially with Kailyn moving on to the UFC but um I'm not disappointed it is what it is I think coming off that big win in April um I was expecting that maybe my next fight would be for the belt but saying that I'm only on a two fight win streak since since my last title fight so I don't mind getting getting another fight in there getting more experience again I've got a tough opponent with an underfeet not an undefeated record but a winning record five and one and so I'm just I'm racking up wins against High Caliber opponents you know what I mean and that's that's what's important to me at the minute just keeping this this winning streak going and if a title fight materializes itself after this one then obviously I'd take that with him with it with both arms but right now on socks on this fight and I'm happy with with the way me careers going on cagewise and I'm just happy to be getting back in there in Manchester and fighting in front of her I'm nearing off a HomeTown crowd you know what I mean [Music] yeah when you win also in the middle to this one Adam uh I saw you said that there's no credit like a Manchester crowd but come on man the Dublin crowd man the Dublin crowded walking out in Dublin when I'm walking amount of money something else and you boys haven't even got to experience it yet but one day we'll get you down there it's different gravy especially with all the lads on the cars I mean it's in money but it's not like it might as well be in Liverpool the amount of large we've got on there so whatever traffic the trail Is Not Great there to be honest but like there's someone from Liverpool later is there but it's different different gravy when we're on these money cards yeah and then Adam I just want to touch it on your on yourself because obviously uh last time uh your own successful it was the first last year career and how much are you looking for to bounce back from that and right in that wrong and uh obviously you know Nathan had that last in the title fight is there have you spoke to him about coming back from the last train like that or spoke to your teammates about coming back from your first loss you know what it doesn't even feel like coming back for a loss for me like I needed that and like that's the best thing that's ever happened to me did you need that Adam because I think I was just running away with things a little bit too much to be honest I've ever been in the UFC novel I lost that fight um would they have been ready would they have been making the right decisions probably not so now I feel like I'm coming back that's just a more composed deadly fighter and I can't wait to show it and on Friday night I am gonna punch a hole in someone's face so we'll just throw a seasonal I mean right right the wrongs be fists and I can't [ __ ] wait for it you said you're making the wrong decisions what decisions were you making roundwood just rushing not being composed probably cutting too much weight as well I am a big big lightweight and I was cutting more weight than it needs to be to be physically imposing and then going in there I'm Relentless and I was I was trying to force being relentless but my style is Relentless anyway so just being more composed taking my time or I get finishes all the time anyway I don't need to force them and I feel like sometimes a force a little bit and I definitely did in that fight and then that mixed in with the bad wake up it all it all seemed to line up all the little mistakes I've made or made The Perfect Storm and he did that because again how did you learn from mistakes when you're smashing everyone but now now I know what I was doing wrong I had a longer hard without myself and I'm back and I'm gonna be back smashing people we do absolutes 100 yeah no it's good to see your back Adam as well because obviously after that the last we were in torture but uh now look ready back forever back ready than ever and uh that's why we can't wait to see yourself and Nathan could be on the card on the 29th can't we not Ross no absolutely not um guys obviously we touched on a next-hand Fighters point in the card Nathan who's someone in the gym that's fine on the card obviously you can't name yourself or Adam that you'd be looking out for that the fans should be looking out for who who's the next gen's next Frozen star well obviously we've got a lot of um like household names on this card already and me and Adam Matt Bonner Luke Riley but the names you want to be looking out for the likes of the guys like Ben Kelly Ben pictures Kelly hasn't fought on cage what he is yet but he's been around the gym for the last few years leveling up with all of us as we've been sort of making our Journeys on cage Warriors and now is his time to burst onto the scene so it's not like he's in he's coming out of nowhere do you know what I mean he's been in the trenches with us for years but like this is his opportunity now to explode onto the scene and I genuinely believe he's gonna he's gonna get a first round knockout and make a big statement um an extra 18 months Ben pictures Kelly is going to be a name and to watch out for in the cage already as well to eight division so keep an eye out for him and then obviously the rest of the lads on the car we've got loads of exciting Fighters Crazy Chris price is back after his first losses full-time rgm now so he's always entertaining and I think you're gonna see a much more composed version of himself Adam Wilson's Back fighting after two years out the cage and Adam's man Adam's favorite fighter if so shout out to Adam Wilson he's going to be on the card then yeah the whole gym the only man we're missing is Liam gettings the nightmare that with the maid that having him on the card as well but um unfortunately he's not on this one so but we've got eight Lads still and it's going to be 8-0 on the 29th absolutely important for uh what what about yourself and Matt obviously and Nate sort of went through the list there but uh who's gonna get the job done the fastest company You're Expecting eight wins and he finishes who's gonna be the fastest man to get the job done yeah you can back yourself on that I love the way I love the way you said I've learned now Russian but I'm still going to get the fastest finish that's just be composed but still going to be deadly you know me yeah exactly good term you're actually a first round Merchant that's it yeah you're hanging out with the Hardwick brothers and you went for uh one of those legendary paramos can you tell us exactly what it was like going for a Parma with the hard mix I say it was very romantic wasn't it was very romantic actually yeah it's like a little double date but um do you know what those palmos tell us the truth to kill me but like I don't know they're not all uh they were nice I like eating it it was the aftermath yeah they'll cover for about two or three days from like that they made a different stuff them North East if they can stomach damn every day because wow I was in a fast way it was something it probably wasn't wise to have that in between sparring with the art mix and then going back and wrestling with them at night not the best fuel to put in your body midday for the training day but let's give me a living we learn don't we so next time we go up either we'll go after the fight and enjoy apartment or we'll we'll go for a day train and we we won't get a chicken farmer well you know you know where the photo where they came out or whatever and they're in front of you was that like an extra large one or what's the story because they look absolutely massive or with the hard work's trying to you know pull fast one on you and bring to place with the biggest Paramount in town like they were telling us they were going to get a full one a half one might be too small I can't be sure sure yeah I got a full one and that was a four one so that's just like regular regular palm oil stuff that video doesn't even do it justice no idea about anyone each one of them George only body this one and then starts eating off our place as well he's an animal when it comes to beating them but me and me and they've probably got about halfway through my dad yeah finishing RT for us so so you'd recommend a half caramel for uh if you're not from the Northeast you need the half Palm or even that probably take you a full day to recover ground at least we know when the hard works out when we're going over for uh brunch with the hardwoods the half armor will do although like I feel like I feel like they shame you into getting the phone yeah okay he's one of these Newcastle that's coming up you're allowed to get over go for a palm or with the hard work start to be a life your bucket list ticked off there won't it yeah I don't know if Graham will have us over that I think he has barred from going to the UK we'll find out okay towards Dublin yeah we caused too much traffic up there why is he barging from the UK shows we just Rowdy that last one or something we're getting ready typically and then we interviewed him at the end and he said stay energized and it was never the same again and even ENT still goes around with the energized glasses to this day man like you mean no way he doesn't take them off he doesn't take them off let me take them off yeah when he's doing his matchmaking he hasn't he has them they all have them on yeah the energized glasses off yeah he does he he goes he goes what would the energize boys say that's what he says to himself deal himself so we can have a little Stout while he's um while he's watching the fights you never know because Ian is a businessman it could be done it could be done you never know yeah yeah when uh will have a few cans of air foreign I would have liked to afford Caleb in Dublin if he was still in case what he just bought obviously it's just um what's the word this is not the right opportunity like I'm not really thinking I'd love to fight in Dublin but I'd like to fight an Irish man in Dublin maybe and Caitlin would have made a lot of sense that would have been a good I want to visualize my year and I thought about that date that would have been a nice a nice thing to add to the bucket list but with him gone now I'm not necessarily um not really necessarily looking to fight in Dublin though I just felt breakdown towards yes Nathan the correct answer yes and I thought in Belfast I fought in Ireland twice you know what I mean against them against Adam Cullen versus Leon Hill in Doom safely I think that was I think that was one of the fights we were talking about before um when we're matching up to see who could fight for the title because we obviously thought that George was going to win and then we're saying maybe calling against Leon Hill what about for Nathan I think he just has 40 reasons no matter where it is like there's literally no other four I want to say than him versus uh Rhys like that was just a collision course like waiting to happen for the title like when he saw it like were you disappointed not really no my goal was in the cage when he's titling getting signed to the UFC Michelle my goal isn't to beat Caitlyn I think it just would have made made the good fight because obviously we have a bit of History I've already beat him in the amateur scene he was training at Carbon I'm at Mexican so it's like rivalry in the gyms as well so it wasn't made for a good occasion for a big fight which is obviously a good experience for me as well in my career to have those sort of big moment fights before you get into the UFC to prepare you for that pressure and dealing with it but um it is what it is you know what I mean he's on his journey I'm on mine I'm sure but I'm not sure actually because I don't know how long he's going to last in the UFC but we might Collide at some point when I'm in the UFC maybe when he's on the way down and I'm on the way up we'll see what happens but yeah just boat be on the way up now okay come on you're about you're all living in Liverpool you're all like rapping out of Liverpool you should support each other now you know what if he was if he was nice to me I'd be nice to him but I I reciprocate the energy that I receive from everyone you know so he'd be noisy if you mentioned person he's a noise going personally Nathan's extending the Olive Branch here Ross he's probably watching this he's probably watching this everyone's a nice guy in person aren't they really you never really come across me when you're like oh you use [ __ ] um so but online it's a different story isn't it so yeah until you meet me Nathan yeah yeah I never met you man he's probably probably Clemson personality oh yeah real [ __ ] oh yeah Ross just looks like one but I actually am one in real life Adam what sort of way is the the climb back towards the lightweight title looking for you now as well because like you're obviously looking to go out with a win here on the 29th and then like the toil is always going to be the next thing inside like what were you looking to go towards that now I just don't want to give a [ __ ] about any of that I'm In My Own Lane during me and I'm My Own man I mean at the end of the day like I'm not looking at anyone else in the division because I don't even think any of them are On My Level so I'm just gonna do me stay active finish people and get loads of fights in and then get my way onto the US so I'm not really worried about anyone else's page Warriors can do all the match with everyone um people are still talking about me so I don't really care I'm just gonna do my own thing whoever they put in front of me I want to stop them and then I'll keep going until they tell me it's time to fight for the belt that's a promo that's a promo and that's I was also watching the next Jan's YouTube channel make sure to check it out like subscribe and share obviously but uh he's got new mats in the gym tell us a bit later tell us what that was like and the Jane turn up yeah it was nice we got kitted out by zebra so they come in under the full remodel of the downstairs which was much needed to be honest because the old mats were getting ripped to shreds and so we've got the full full sprung floor now when you get on it it feels like a proper cage you know what I mean you might have seen an iPod story up him either in all flips on it obviously athletic I was just so you can see it like a gymnast but uh boss yeah it's good nice Avenue Matt I feel like we're a world-class gym but like we weren't a world-class facility but now we've got this in we were starting to look the part you know what I mean so it's uh it's very good and it's brought everyone it's nice when you know you look good you feel good you know what I mean your fake goods and that's like that's what the gym is doing now I've had the makeover and it's brought everyone on the training's improved everything's yeah we're moving on up in the world are there octagon Ireland uh head coach Patty Hill and says a happy foiler is a dangerous fighter right with two very happy fighters in a minute and we can't wait for now the two is looking too happy for this show Lads it must be the glasses Ross uh Lads tell us this cage Warriors Manchester how many people like are you expecting to go which is to Manchester because as you said there's going to be eight next-gen Lads in the card like how many bosses or trains we're gonna be driving or heading towards the BEC Arena on the 29th yeah plenty of buses I mean it's going to be a big crowd for all the lads so to be honest I can't really see anything but other than a full home car for us and so what is it 2006 or whatever 2 000 people cheering for all the next Channel and it's going to go off uh I can't [ __ ] boys personally I know all the right to the same it's gonna be a big big night nice as well because we're all spread out across the card from the start of the prelims till I think I'm second to last fight of the night so the next gen crowd's gonna be there right the way through the night so I mean supporting all the lads so give me a pack of that Arena from the first fight on the prelims till I don't know who's the main event James ending one way or the other there's a cool guy here barely really messing yeah yeah well like his workout's probably the best in cage Warriors I don't know about that I don't know like can't lock rounds was deadly he's only gone for knockouts yeah he is people people love Knockouts only Jesus loves nothing else Ryan Shelley as well by the way yeah yeah yeah he's cool yeah he was also meant to be on the contender Series so uh that doesn't seem like it's happening now but we'll see what happens in that main event I think you have easy issues so we couldn't do it the biggest question of the day is and I really wanted to ask you to support I was a bit nervous but now I have the balls to ask is where is the after parity Outlets he's all gone back to Molly's gaffer what's the story yeah she normally starts the party so whenever she goes out there shout out Paul Petter on the meatball subs so so it is it's gonna be back in Molly's Gap that is what we'd love to hear Lads um right Lads before we wrap things up is there anything else you want to say the people tuned in that are going to be buying tickets sporting next gen on the 29th in Manchester yeah for eight brutal finishes it's gonna be a big night for a lot and still tickets left um not a show you want to miss Manchester always goes off there's always loads and loads of finishes loads enough helps
