day yeah Sean have you gone on at the moment or an air quarantine have you gotten on at the moment to turn that like lockdown yeah everything been pretty like pretty similar lifestyle not much has changed other than you know the group of people we train with is limited to about six right now but other than that we're trained in not much has changed really yeah what do you get in maybe in are you just doing road work no I'm doing a lot of pretty much everything I would be doing or not doing a lot of jiu-jitsu Monday Wednesday Friday and then strength conditioning Tuesday Thursday so still pretty much training for I'm telling you were off are you so I'm saying you're fresh off you're winning against Jose on March 7 to 1 the last there you have see floats on I am hopping before lockdown how soon you ready to go again lockdown before 16th that's in Florida and I really don't want to you know go to all the way to Florida fight so should have a card Shawn like you want you like like like shot initially into superstardom here into you and the USC and you became over noise as new togs favor for it first of all how did the Dana boy contender series coming back that often come here how did it what I having a coke yeah okay so the fight right before that and I remember Dana was supposed to be at that fight in elephant which was here in Phoenix and I was like sweet and I'll probably get signed the UFC I think I was six and off on something like that because I knew if I get a sick knockout it's gonna be viral when I did he ended up not being there but remember how it came about I ended up getting offered to fight Alfred on a contender series and I was like okay that's perfect he's gonna be there for sure I just need to get another sweet knockout and and it's it's it's crazy to me how it all played out so perfectly yeah what was it was like your your social media following online before that and after because Snoop Dogg has turned into a meme like saying like [ __ ] that sugar Shawn Oh Maddie it was like trying to try to sink I didn't have much of a following before the contender series I think a couple thousand two thousand followers on Instagram after that fine I think fifteen thousand or something like that in that state consistently growing like until my debut then once my debut camp you know I jumped up quite a bit then after I broke my foot against Andre that's kind of when it really blew up even more that's crazy yeah put away like obviously you have otters connections as well we're like well haven't ever you what part of you is ours everything let us know good yeah obviously obviously you're on a layoff there for two years like literally just nerdy for the exact day and then you came back yeah and everyone was dying seeing you came out with a win again like I was able to feel they could come back after two years and just like put on the sugar shower literally it was interesting to see house and perform was they gonna look better was I gonna look worse in my hype train is it real but in my head like I already know I'm gonna go out there and perform that's what I do I go out there perform I wasn't where I was it didn't it crossed my mind for a split second am I still the same am I gonna go out there perform better it wasn't even that was a question in my mind throw a new husband go out there performing and who asking about there and finish it spectacular fashion that was the healthiest fight camp I've had in a long time I was the strongest I've ever been so I owe everything she worked out perfectly yeah and I was again have you gotta know I'm training with team as well is he putting you to put you through your paces yeah we do a lot right now we're really just doing top dishes a Friday that class then we'll just pop just you grapple start from our feet and do you know seven minute rounds eight minutes or ten minutes depending on who's there whether we're doing key or okey and that out and that will hit minutes after for 10-15 minutes most yeah we're still getting really quality training let's go sonamoo say any hum you for you you're always the people's main event you really are your I just want to ever make sure the tuning to see whether your footing lower down on the card or you're fighting on the main card people move to see it on do you really feel like you have B of C backing because you know I mean they tried to put you on the UFC 229 could be burst Connor card tried to put you on the John Jones a goal Santos card they're really see the superstar qualities in you do you feel that potential stars interviews before I follow the contenders I set up be a superstar in the UFC I have that thing I have that people watch me fight and you know if someone's telling you okay well let's see what they got they know they see numbers when they see me they know I'm gonna be that big superstar I just had to go out there and keep performing which means I just have to stay consistent with my training so but yeah I think us definitely you know they're a business they want to make the biggest fights but to do that building superstar or so but yeah they're they're gonna try to build me just like they build Conor Ronda you know the biggest superstars and I'm gonna be one of those here in the next couple years just got to keep winning fights dr. green boys at the house like like a lot of people asked us who would like the Oklahoma you see fighters like there's a few large go is coming true I don't see yourself the way the way you actually perform in doctor gone is it is a lot like Conor as well it and those people tell you that yeah I definitely learned from watching Connors certain things you know I've gotten a lot of [ __ ] but I think that mark I definitely have more tools in octagon the Conor when it comes to strike and he's really really really good as specifically in specific areas you know mostly southpaw has a left hand his teeth I can stand both stances and do pretty much anything from both stances and I do that during my fights I'm super you know which i think is fun to watch but I got Conners kind of that that confidence he has I've always felt that inside myself that confidence for him to go out there and tell say hey I'm gonna knock this dude out in this round like you know I definitely learned love Connor in that aspect I'm Shawn that 135 pound vision is absolutely stacked how would you feel like you rack up against the top close now we have Cody garb Brandt Jose Aldo a song so Peter yarn sterling Mariah's and then obviously the champ Henry judo and Dominick Cruz how do you feel like you stack up against all them division longest reach I feel like I belong right up there with all those guys I just have Pete any of those guys's name so it's kind of hard to put me in that category but also I'm not gonna try to go fight those guys now next fight if I'm gonna get paid the same amount of money to go fight someone who's you know higher rank there's not as good or I go fight for the best guys world I'm gonna pick the guy that's not as good try to build a long career with a lot of sweet finishes and highlights so once I start the fight the next guy in line the next guy in line so I'm gonna take you know while I still can fight the guys that aren't the best in the world take those fights it's not because of like what contract you're on now or how many 4mb for self neck from your current contract I'm gonna renegotiate my contract every fight I've been able to renegotiate my contract so this one should be no different once the UFC approaches me and says hey we got a fight then I'll probably sit down with Shawn Shelby and renegotiate my contract but yeah I don't know it depends it depends what if they say we'll pay you this much to fight this guy or we're gonna pay you this much way you know it just depends I'm sat down talked with them yes I really don't know what they're gonna offer me so we'll just wait I'm fast that's what they did with Conor McGregor every time he fought there's a new contract for each [ __ ] yes and I think they're gonna make a rain for sugar Sean also like cause you're so young and I'm like you're your partner your arms are gonna grow more and then like you must have won all right if I'm walking around what do you think of Dominick Cruz getting the UFC tall after his long layoff I don't know some decree it's bad I'm super curious plays out you know Henry I think Henry good job gonna you know you get inside try to get inside and he throws pretty decent combos boxing and we'll see if we catch Cruz slipping in on the outside but Cruz is so good at what he does question is how is he still that good think a little bit more about it but I am interested in watching that fight now yeah I think I think what Henry cejudo Baba that cringe is an act and I actually think it actually gets people to underestimate him and get him think he's a bit of a weirdo but then when he gets in there he's doing the most ferocious competitors that you'll ever find yeah for sure I think I think the fighters but when you're a fighter you're a high level fighter you can see who's a high level guy who's a good fighter and I you know I guarantee Dominick Cruz is going in thinking this dude's one of the best fighters in the world he's got to his resume is his skill sets really high so you know he's definitely gonna be Cruz is gonna I don't think he's underestimate but I do think I wouldn't be surprised if pseudo pseudo wins yeah have you been in touch with Dana over at four you know I don't like I'm sure you're chomping at the bit now no one next week the points are back you must be like ah I'm ready to go yeah I haven't talked today and I'm sure he's so so much going on for the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to bed I'm sure he's so busy but I'm sure I'm sure we'll talk soon especially they're getting fights booked going like I said those next three are all in Florida so definitely don't want to make make the drive to Florida Arizona super fun I don't want to fly right now I'll probably just wait Henderson so they're yeah Benson that's lab I've trained the lab since my fight just because the whole quarantine thing but yeah Benson's there we got Tyler Phillips through the [ __ ] stud in the bantamweight division who just got a bonus out in his last fight Mario Batista who's in the bantamweight division just got a bonus his last fight we've been training together for five six years all as amateurs turn pro together um so those guys Casey Kenny was also in the bantamweight division there's just so many so many studs at the lab it's ridiculous these are the best gyms in the country when you mentioned earlier like you knew that this was all gonna happen like did you know it was gonna like could you foresee it becoming this big because like like you literally I haven't seen some shooters fast para conor mcgregor like did you could you they can you believe it when you've gone you just chill now like well this is is where I wanted to be yeah but I mean before there was a Conor McGregor before that kind of blew up I pictured myself eventually being that kind of in that position so you know everything I've kind of all this is all playing out how it's supposed to how I kind of pictured this you know since I was since I started fighting so I think it's it's just going going the right way I feel like I'm gonna be a worldwide superstar I feel like I kind of already am as you know when I stream on Twitch I get people from all over the world come in and say what subject greetings from Germany everywhere that you can think of people come and say what's up so Marty feel like I'm kind of like a world-wide super sorry I just gotta keep you know building that base I'm at my fan base right now so I feel like every kind of celebrity or whatever will say that their fan base is the best but I [ __ ] it's so sweet like without the fans obviously I wouldn't be in the position I'm in so you know it is cool having having people like that you know be fans will you ever actually be I feel like like you're accomplished because like obviously know if you get if or when I fully resume the wind that bantamweight title then you want to get the federal title yeah like it's an or favor in North you know yeah I don't know that's a good question I don't know I feel like you know I'm just you I'm doing good at being just grateful for what I have right now mix them out in with wanting more wanting more wanting more but also being like damn I got a pretty good [ __ ] life right now I don't need anything else I don't need anything else to make me happy and if I feel like I do that's when I start getting anxious that's when I feel like I need to do something so mixed in that that wanting more in with being grateful for what I have right now and if I could never fight again that that be okay I have to be you know I have to be okay with with that so just learning a lot of that kind of stuff and a lot of the mental aspects that you know it's good because they seem to take it on destroy it and then like it literally is when you're going to the events I remember you didn't have an open workout you've had your own memory that was not embedded that was okay yeah but they just the wait your soil in an out of the octagon it's just like you're you're almost setting a path for a future for it as well it'd be like oh and be more like this I want to take like stole from Connor so Ferrando so from yourself you know it's you're definitely setting a wedding like a trend thank you I feel like fighters kind of look up the path that I had and do you know I preached the meditation eating healthy and the sleep and the recovery the hot the cold stretch and all that stuff I wanna I want younger fighters I want to be them to be able to look up to me someday I'll chase you and like you look beyond your career as well cuz like I know we keep referencing Conor but like he's gone into the whiskey business is there stuff that you'd like to get it that you're actually big into gaming like your t-shirt was like no one soul t-shirt and you'll see as well they're buckling I was what I you look what else you run yeah yeah what's what else you look like looking to do beyond it's because there's obviously gaming Tim and I have the podcast the Timbo sugar show that's actually been doing really really well right now continuing to come out with vlogs I know the more the more content would put out the more views we get eventually once we get a certain amount of views you know we're gonna have bigger sponsors coming towards us paying for you know they're getting millions of views because of our stuff so you know I know all that's gonna end up coming big sponsorships but right now the most important thing is winning my next fight how am I gonna win my next fight bike you know staying consistent in the gym I'll do you go left this way but I'm just the most important thing is just staying consistent in the gym yeah I will stay Sean I think a lot of fighters and I think even like turn on woman he's a prime one like he's part to put his fingers in other poise and he's not out of the game yet and at the end of the day you know your first name is for a fightin and I mean you took your eye off the prize and you know god forbid you la us two or three flights and rope people tend to care less spoke to them as opposed to you know then you have your eyes on the prize or like again you have like unbelievable pot potential revenue streams you know with her gaming like your Instagram page alone your vlogs you know mean like you seemed have your head very screwed on yeah in social media just making money on Instagram is huge like when I was out for those two years you know I made I pre made six figures and just from social media and that's been a big thing just building that building that building that I remember when I first started doing like social media when I first guy was fighting I posted video be smoking weed or something a bunch of the adults because I was by 21 a bunch of the adults even my dad my dad the most where they were all day the UFC's not gonna want to sign you they're not gonna want someone like this they're not gonna want that they're not gonna promote you sponsors aren't gonna want you that they're not gonna like this just a lot of that stuff and I was always kind of like if they don't like it you know that's tough tough luck whatever but this is funny because that's who pays pays me now is like just for my Instagram me being me and doing stuff that I like to do so it's funny looking back on the that's brilliant monotonously them do it like you're sticking to your guns you like right this meet you sorta like Nate Diaz Nick as they're just doing their thing and then people like to story more cause it's more relational you know it's not just yes or no answers but like you're you're also there you all super few came on the wave when lady int like borrow videos etc you know me like that was just yeah Roy moment Roy time on ladies [Laughter] social media thing everything blowing up right as I'm coming up in the game yeah for your for your first total fight you have to have Snoop Dogg walking in like I know yeah I'm sure I'm showing obviously your your rose to fame is absolutely incredible who's the coolest person who's asked you for a photo martin podcast that's pretty [ __ ] cool it's we're not nerve you know it's probably gonna be three hours Joe Rogan and say that was pretty cool did you smoke before not that did you smoke beforehand beforehand about midway we smoked it got away [ __ ] yeah what was it was actually like being like going there
