Post-fight Energized Show segment with Peter Halpenny after winning a title at Akuma Fighting Championship. Halpenny says he accepted the bout on 24 hours notice, overcame a four-fight skid and self-doubt, and pushed—via Steve at Akuma—for the fight to be for the belt. He now says he holds two belts and plans to keep chasing titles in Ireland, with another big fight booked for November 2nd. He credits cross-training and coaching from HQ, SEAC, SBG (including Darren Sonik), CMAC MMA MMA corner work, and jiu-jitsu with Karl and Gracie Arnold for his development and finishes. He describes staying open-minded, listening to coaches, and testing himself mentally before the fight. The host closes by calling him the new super welterweight champion at Akuma.
