[Music] en sh up the Irish it's over Elliot baby the Welsh gangster is here The Baddest of Them All what's up and one more for the bad guy who's the baddest of them all oh it's definitely Oban Elliot oh mirror mirror on the wall Oban that fight you had in Dame wise Contender series like I stayed up watched it like it was uh on it was unreal man it was Unreal [ __ ] if you're gonna put this man the Welsh gangster in a coffin you better nail it short because if not he's coming back for you baby exactly oh did I not did I not say that before the [ __ ] fight boys that man I've heard about a million Fighters come out with the line and it's always [ __ ] I'm willing to die in there no no one is willing to do that except for idiot exactly yeah of course you are you're willing to die you're willing to die you get clipped and then next thing you know you're intelligently defending yourself when really you're saying ref please make him stop hitting me thing is intelligently defending yourself because as soon I've I've been there as soon as you do this you if you guard up it's like well the ref is like the jumps in I've been that you what I mean like I did it with [ __ ] um yeah both of my losses he's like defend yourself and I'm like I'm fine I'm fine all right okay I'll defend myself fight gets St so that that one I was like [ __ ] this I'm not letting that happen again you [ __ ] hav it m as soon as I [ __ ] like when you going back out saying you're willing to D stuff the way the camera zooming up in your face and the way you got it doing like what was the emotion like after that bu EV oh M I'm still riding it now I I literally just watched it funnny enough um people were sharing the clip and like [ __ ] me mate literally I literally stood up and the reason I did that I put my arms up is because he was like hanging off the [ __ ] octagon breathing so I thought right I'll show the judges what the crack is now so I stood up like hands out remember like Pereira did against adna where he's like back that so I just stood up looking at him like this and then he faced me and then I asked when I said to him I'm ready to die boy so [ __ ] was mate I swear to God I would have never I wouldn't been able to live with like the the fu but of course I'd live with it but that the it would have been a massive there would have been so much [ __ ] anger if that ref stopped that fight I would have been like fuming until until I until I got there again you know so yeah and then after then after the fight sorry Russ let you jump in now after the fight OB what did did you think you were actually going to get the contract as well cuz a lot of times yeah I totally forgot that that was even a factor yeah I was walking around there like yes it's good to be here [ __ ] hell it's good to be here it's good to be here and then they [ __ ] walked me around and then the Stalls and I was like oh yeah this part now and then she didn't get one next to me I was like oh no yeah I think it was Daniel Cormier saying that he didn't think that like you were going to get it what does he know anyway what does he know playing double champ now nothing ah did why did he say that you like right think he must have um he must have like gone out the bat and got some popey's chicken in for the third round or something I know man I was like he has to get it he has to get it like that was I think it was because we had you and George on in the buildup and then the week before George lost and then the way you came and done that it was um I was like you have to give this is this guy is a real this guy is 100% a fighter that deserves it after that performance and I mean look I guess like I got hit with a big shot and you know what did DC say it's like a because I and obviously I saw myself after in the interview and he's like yeah well toughness and trying hard doesn't get you a contract but like you've only got to look at like the the Shen fight right before that like look how good I was in that fight you know yeah yeah but there's a difference between toughness and then like the mentality that you show in that fight is is is a different gravy like we've seen people who are is that not the bare minimum like I don't think if that was the bare minimum I don't think a lot of people would actually uh make it because I don't think people have the actual mental strength and capacity to eat some of the shots the U and keep on coming forward you know well if they don't mate then they don't want to get [ __ ] locked in a cage of me but that yeah that's that's true you know I mean as saying go my bare minimum that's my bare minimum as the say goes uh OB it's not about hard you can hit it's about hard you can get hit and keep moving forward how much you can take and keep moving forward that's how wi is done and then and then look what happs what's after happening next UC see 298 in Miami when when you got that phone call then Oban like like surely you must have been chuffed getting getting on a pay-per-view card I was I just laughed [Music] just CA uh yeah [ __ ] H look at it man pview debut and they told me January so I was thinking ah they're gonna Chuck me they're gonna Chuck me in the [ __ ] Apex for January I me because I'm just a little debut and who like nearly got knocked out in his Contender series fight no straight down the pay-per-view straight in the Red Corner [ __ ] great is it like what a pay-per-view it is is like you're on there with you know volkanovski pound-for-pound one the best of all time Robert Whitaker Henry cejudo you know what I mean like it's in Gary's on the card as well the one of the most talked about forers on the UFC roster at the moment you know so like it's an absolute Whopper card and uh you know you have the capabilities over seeing the show both inside and outside the octagon and I you know I'm goingon to yeah they'll be able to catch it on it should be it should be on the UC five pass shouldn't it yeah yeah hopefully yeah so it's actually it's actually a great time as well for the audience like over here in Europe Che prime time UK time is it it's like 11:30 and the fury fights not even going ahead now so there's no chance of anyone missing it exactly well they get like the people yeah you know this is just this is just what I've always um expected of myself like and and to be honest right I you probably couldn't have got away with saying this um a couple of years ago because it's such a cliche but do you know who I look up to the most is Conor McGregor because like he literally I'm like step one or step two into the plan that he completed kind of thing so like I've always like imagined and visual iiz and believed I would be in this position right and like I've got my foot foot on the ladder and I think that's just remarkable the fact that I've even got this F like of course I knew it and expected it of myself but if you think about it right how many kids sit there and [ __ ] actually achieve what they set out to achieve not that many so like I'm there calling my shop from a young age teachers telling me [ __ ] I'll do a real sport kind of thing listening to scho school cuz that sport is nonsense and now look at me so like in terms of uh in terms of that like you look at you know bro boys I can't put it into the [ __ ] words it's nuts it's nuts OB I'm so grateful I'm not like oh look at me I'm the man I should have always been a yeah I am the man but like come on I'm grateful for this you know what I mean I'm grateful for this I'm not just going to just sit here and and feed you full of [ __ ] saying a yeah it's about time like yeah it's about time but in the same breath it's [ __ ] I'm very grateful to be doing this like of all the MMA fighters that dream of fighting in the UFC I'm making my debut on a [ __ ] pay-per-view card in Los Angeles California this scumbag from a councel house who used to Nick out the [ __ ] shop for his for his lunchtime because he didn't have any change I look at me I know we've been following you for ages B and then like when you get ped straight onto a pay-per-view card like it it means the you see mean business don't they Russ yeah definitely like they're they're definitely I put it this way uh Val wurn lost his last fight to b nickel uh like I don't think they're like you know what we'll give Val wood burn the shot on the pay-per-view card I think Oban the aside coming into this fight he's the one with the upstart too and also I do think I know you referred to it there that there's like a touch of a Conor like you know similarities to the Way Conor McGregor done it and like he could be an inspirational figure but like there is something to be said that you know um at the moment there's only sort of you and Jack sha flying that Welsh flag in Wales and and like at the end of the day like there's a whole nation in Wales to get behind you guys and make you guys to be big Superstars the way the Irish got behind Connor and it's it's it's the way they saw the Irish get behind Connor is what made everyone else fall in love with them and it's the same thing could happened that if it not only all the well should actually get behind you but if people people can see the Welsh get behind you that's what will turn you into Superstar because then the Americans will go geez that Welsh fell is mad bastard let's support him as well and that's that's that's what you need you want the American Buy in but it has to come from your hometown Buy in first I guess yeah and and they I think they are gonna think that same here there's nobody [ __ ] there's nobody like me boys and no there's definitely not like we almost been few thousands of Fighters This stage OB like yeah you stick like I'm not trying to be one it's this is just it's just H I open my [ __ ] mouth and I say the right thing that's meant for the fight game I don't think or read off [ __ ] scripts or anything like that I'm me and mate I've I've demanded to be here do you know what I mean I've demanded it and I [ __ ] I I messed up in cage Roy a little loss here and there but I never ever ever let anything get me down and I [ __ ] got here so now I'm here you're GNA need a [ __ ] Army to get rid of me put it that way you not it's not going to be a yeah no and I'm on the you know what I mean I'm on the you think I'm going backwards now you're [ __ ] mad there's no way there's no way it is just I get fired up talking about it because I'm just I'm about to do everything I always knew I do and and there's not a [ __ ] man that can stop and stop that can St was about to happen I genuinely believe that you know it's [ __ ] amazing it's amazing and you as you say for the the fan base we [ __ ] Wales play rugby down there 880,000 full can't get a ticket so imagine if we can get you know the MMA can and it already is you know what I mean I'm the [ __ ] I'm the Talk of the Town so like imagine if MMA can get that kind of popularity which I hope I can and bring especially in the valleys and that it's like like mate I'll have the UFC [ __ ] it look at me before I be a debut saying [ __ ] like that get it off your chest oan this is terap this is I won't be impressed with the rail service now if there's not a posters of OB and Elliot on on the inside and outside of every train like that yeah I want to see Step at the platform things of me like that I want to see you doing it in your UFC gear and like what side by side in your rail gear [Laughter] hey I'm in the oranges boys I don't [ __ ] about man look at that man honest working class man like what more do you want what am I gonna do now just go t around wearing [ __ ] Louis Vuitton on tick and get someone [ __ ] taking pictures of me in the gym I granted I've got that sash shots Fair play to him but m n no you're smash oh man you're absolutely smashing it and you're a quality character even even when you fought in cage Warriors in Dublin and you beat like team Royo James Sheen yeah like the fans still like they like a lot of the times like Irish fans would be against whoever they're if they're fighting an Irish person but after I think he won over the fans as well which was great to see I hope I did I hope I did mate because like have all the people to fill in right [ __ ] you know James sh what and it's just as I said he's the right guy in the right place he's at the wrong time and I hope now he gets the title fight he actually messaged me the other day uh nice message and I said I hope you get the title shot you deserve it so yeah as you say I've all the people to [ __ ] beat a fight on his own turf like you know it happened to it happened to him which you know [ __ ] happens than it I'm sure I've got a [ __ ] ass kicking coming for me at some point so I'm what I mean like it all comes back around I'm not stupid stupid just not Miami baby oh Los Angeles oh sorry Los Angeles apologies no sry 299 is Miami apologies yeah thenan like I know you're I know you're like you're very busy so we'll we'll let you head on now in a second but the thing is you're obviously taking on foul wurn what do you actually know about Val and when you got this name what were you sort of thinking M honestly right if I could if I had something to say about him I'd say it but um I just wish I what do I think about Val wurn it could honestly he he is so he feels so irrelevant to what's going on in my mind right now you know good luck to him but he's yeah he ain't got a [ __ ] chance but way it's all I gotta say about him unbelievable unbelievable and tell us this obviously you're fighting basic the other side of the world will there uh will a Welsh Army be traveling across with you or they will be yeah they be got like there's like 30 30 people coming 30 gangsters there's FU oh yeah all in hes no we're actually gonna wear we're gonna wear American flags because of um the passing of the late great Apollo Creed yeah that um I might do something about that but yeah there's a lot of people lot of the boys coming my family is coming my mother's coming so it's um Nate it's a this is like the the most surreal surreal [ __ ] every time I wake up I'm like what the [ __ ] honestly too good if it was too good to be true at this point it's [ __ ] nuts I know the odd time CH on works the desk for ESPN would would be crazy if you saw CH on over there and yeah I think well what's his name told me the other that uh Shan shien said that he works a desk for the pay-per-views is that right yeah well boys imagine that yeah what what like obviously I'm looking forward to your fight but I'm also looking forward to the post fight speech as well on the mic that is going to be pure entertainment yeah oh M ah there's nothing I could possibly tell you right in this podcast right now that is gonna do what you will see from myself next Saturday Justice is you will all sit there and look at yourselves and think oh my [ __ ] God he's the man now this is all of literally you could [ __ ] send King Kong in there with me you could send Godzilla when you ask me about Valwood bur mate yeah you can think whatever like whether he thinks I'm [ __ ] looking past him looking through him underestimating him you saw in my last fight what I'm about when it comes to fighting so yeah couldn't give a [ __ ] what he thinks you put anyone in there right they are [ __ ] they are absolutely [ __ ] simple as that you can't go up against the fair enough put me there put me there and bang the nail in the box
