barry will be back on ufc bypass there'll be a titan fc 77 on friday the third of june dean welcome to the show board how are you keeping on your great lads here are you a few i actually have a couple of day i don't know if you have to have a couple of ufc snapbacks if you want to fight our life you can use them oh salman appreciate that i'm weird without but they gave us a field and i haven't looked forward to there so i just wanted to do much and i don't know i just want to wear them because i know he's doing it if ross [Laughter] you're going but you're back you're going to be back in the cage and fighting fc77 on the third of june it's a friday on uc5 passport we had to go back to the start day and like you went over to vegas you fought more jackson and then you didn't get the result you wanted uh on our on in the build tour you're on our show we wanted you to get to win you didn't get to win like um can you explain to us what happened after the fight yeah we should say it was just a weird a weird experience for me looking then fighting that much heavier out that way and you know like as i said as i said one of the other interviews like i did like andy will vote for me as well i did no sparring or nothing for that for you i couldn't i couldn't do anything because i got a bad injury in the gym and i was just lifting my heavy weights man and just doing the later on so when i stepped in that cage i just felt i just felt like i had never body experience i just wasn't myself and it led to me getting sloppy and making mistakes due to not having the the proper training for the feet you know so i was just all over the place man i felt like a circus act for me like and then after the fight i just i came home i had a couple of days to you know like like let heal basically and i just said you know what like i could sit around here now for months and just just be upset about what because i knew what happened the second if it was over because it was in my contract i i had to get away and i had to get the five wins and even though i was a dk i knew what was coming so and i knew the backlash that was going to come online so i just gave myself a few days to try to get composed and deal with and then him i texted the manager and said i'm ready to go straight away i said i'm not waiting around and he said would you be are you sure you'll be ready and i said wednesday closest show you can get me he said julian torres down here on the corner and i said book it said i don't care again against hero said i'll be ready and i'll be at 1 55 and i haven't stopped training every day and like two three times a day and start getting back into me kickboxing that luke's style everything and sparring laws of the lads and everything and just i feel just half the whole experiences after just making me get that fire again and get find the love for the sport again and i really have now and like i'm enjoying hard rounds i'm enjoying everything and i'm on such a strict diet now and since i got back and i've dropped all the weight and i'm [ __ ] i'm flying i feel fantastic and i'm ready to go i'm fighting during toward and then i'm looking to get out at the end of jail then i'm looking to get out in mid july and i'm looking to just go boom boom boom boom these next few months russ as we said as you said ross as we said off the air uh after dean after dean got to qualify you said this is either going to be the making or breaking of dean barry yeah absolutely um a sort of a dq like that last like that could like you know it could kill someone's uh hopes and dreams you know i mean and like it's great to see you back in there so so soon afterwards i do want to touch on the fight itself and obviously it was a it was a strange affair and firstly what did you make of mike jackson's sort of i'm going to call it guard defense the way he sort of defended with the hands he was you know bit this way bit that way you owe me anything did that throw you off a little bit because like because it's the slightest no no it's like that and i'm totally honest with all the stuff not in the slightest he just kind of stood there but the only thing what what made me get a bit reckless was because it's like one of them things if you ever talk you're you say you're in a room with dummies and you're just talking and it's the most brain-dead conversation you almost bring yourself down to that level and you start being take yourself and the same thing we're fighting like anyone will tell you if you inspire someone who's only knew when the gmc are just less and they're a bit sloppy and wild you start getting wild and sloppy and you start doing stupid things and you're like what's going on what am i doing here like so that happens somebody can bring you down to the level it's the same if you fight a very advanced guy you start you you're really switched on and you're it's much cleaner for you and stuff so with mikey what you wouldn't engage in the fight with me like he's just kind of standing there moving his head a bit and then i was waiting on mike to throw a jab and i was going to pull and counter so muy kind of knew that and he was throwing a hook he was throwing a long wide hook and he was when we got in the cage he was way bigger than the time was going to be so but i was find it hard to get that judgment of the range so when he was trying to when i was fainting to get the debate of the job he was trying to hook so i essentially couldn't lean and straight right i had to come over the hook and i landed it ended up being just a wild shot because i couldn't every time i tried to do the straight punch i just clashed with them so i was like what is going on here and then i true i threw two sidekicks and i creased them with them and then bro my body just started [ __ ] shutting down as i just felt the weight i felt the weight in my arms my legs my stomach i just felt horrible and then i just kind of went i just kind of went home and tried to kill him and i was just i was very i was fighting very emotionally like this the build-up of the day the months and months of this [ __ ] from people living even fight week getting [ __ ] off people i felt like i had to prove i was if it wasn't a knockout like or like to still talk and say [ __ ] if i didn't go out and absolutely kill them and then so that's what every shot i was trying was like a kill shot and i just got reckless and i let the emotions compare me something i never i never do and you know you're going to see you're going to see a vintage performance for me next week it's going to be just back to me being that flowy skillful style and even now back in the gym like i'm spying with the boys and like the top boys in the gym and i'm back to getting into my nice comfortable flowy state and i'm non-stop moving and all before that fight i was moving i wasn't doing nothing and you could see it you know and the the other sort of weird moment in that fight um because to be honest the the only poker i don't think it was that weird you you sort of like try to post off them and like yeah that's just where your hand went like you know i mean i think like yeah it looked nasty and and everything looks super nasty when you put it in slow motion you know i mean yeah that's that's like the fights don't happen in slow motion so uh i think that just was what it was but when you hit him with the spin kick and uh he caught him in the cup but then i thought it was very strange and tell us what your thought process at the time when he's lying on the ground for three or four minutes and he's having a chat about the ref like he's asking the ref basically what he's having for dinner tonight what were your thoughts about that that was very strange i've never seen anything like that before that was very annoying because he played it up and he's like good shot man good shot good shot dino all this [ __ ] and then i'm sitting there going this fella is acting up completely like a and he's um he's playing open and even like the commentators are like if you get not shot like if you get a note shot you can't speak a ward fair enough i accept i failed i made a mistake i spin kicked him low that happens i made it i made a couple of errors but that's something that i've never done before so it's a bit new to me as well and then seeing how he acted up on it and he played it up because he wanted to get the recovery time because i had i was lighting them up really and i was catching with some heavy shots and then there were wires but i was still catching them and then the eye poke same same thing it looks nasty i tried to frame or i didn't frame with my hands out like this you know what i mean i had my hand up to try push them off because i was about to finish him and i wanted to get him out there he's holding his eye he can't open his eye and then all of a sudden the doctor said he's okay to continue and he literally says i don't want to fight this guy anymore those are the exact words he said then i was like what's going on here and then the ref d killed me and they just made an example of me because there was a lot of controversy over the several weeks and then unfortunately always at the end of it it was my own fault i made mistakes and i accept him there when i've learned to live with them and you know backstage he's walking back high five and everyone laughing a joke and i was like just [ __ ] another another question on that do you think that fight didn't happen in the apex and it happened in a venue with a live crowd the dq might not have happened because people could clearly hear dana cormier say on the concrete that oh the ref won't have the bottle effectively to dq and then next thing you know dq like the ref clearly could have heard that like you can hear me i can't really say bro like i feel like i feel like i feel like that referee has mine made up regardless if it was in a big stage a big stadium right if it wasn't your name the apex like he did maybe you know you don't you know they're swayed a bit as well with what they hear but he did say backstage he was like he kept going on about finger pokes and eye pokes he's very strict about that so like and then obviously that's in my bleeding head and then if i poke him in the oil like what are the blade chances of that and then but to be honest with you as i said i've done interviews where i felt really angry and emotional about all but but now that i've got myself so healthy got my got my mind healthy my heart healthy my body healthy i'm super fat i've learned to live with it accept it i'm i'm happy i'm grateful for the experience it's um it's helped me grow it's helped me get back training hard because if i hadn't went out and knocked him out i would have just been clowning around again and barely doing any like i did i could count on one hand the amount of mma sessions i'd run for that for you and that's a fact you can ask anyone in the gym like um i was just doing beyonce really and um so it woke me up and then you know it's funny just it just adds to the story like it adds to the you know what i can tell my kids you know what look what happened to me i got i got released i got back then i got released back and it's not as if i got i went there and got b and then they released me and said no like i got i got released and i was told look just go out and show it show me a little bit of composure and we'll bring you straight back in that's what they said to me and i believed them because they were they've always been straight with me from the start so they said sean said he really likes me but he said i just need to show him a little bit more so i'm dealing with them getting in and then and then dean um last question on that phone for myself i don't know barry has anything like that when the result didn't go your way and then you end up in the back with your bro with andy and what did they say to you in the back um to be honest i can't really remember bro because i just remember walking backstage and i was just like just coursing them coursing out me i was like fuming and then they brought me back i stand [ __ ] nearly clash and whatever way he hit me my eye you're not your pupil my pupil went like a cat's pupil like a like an all the way downwards and i could barely see i've seen about three of them for about two minutes and i was like what that's why i got wild in there as well like he he kind of hit me a check hook and i was like what what the hell and i think he knew he hit me as well you know but when i got backstage dude the doctors were checking me out and he was like look sean andy and i look at his eye and my my left pupil was like a whisker the cats oh it was weird man but then they just they just rushed it out straight onto the bus the boat they escorted from the cage basically doctor checks you two seconds boom gone and i'm on a bus just going back to the to the to the resort and i'm just like what is that to happen here i didn't have time to process it you know so just as i said it's heartache and it's painful what like this sport is absolutely cruel like it's it's the hardest part in the world bro it's like you know i just i'm getting stuck back in there because i'm like i'm i'm i'm i'm ready you know i'm ready to keep going i'm ready to get straight back in and show people like but this wasn't the point you know yeah it's um it was it was definitely um it was worse it was a bizarre and wild debut but um look you're going straight back in there you're straight back at it and i suppose first thing we'll touch on is you you know you said you weren't in the gym as much you'd like to be for the last fight um are you making sure that you're there you know multiple times a week this time out and do you feel more driven fighting at 55 all your points sometimes if some fighters don't have to cut the weight they're actually less focused do you find the way cool and the diet then just makes it laser focused on everything else bro way better because you're on a routine you're you're you have a structure in your life you're disciplined i'm i weigh all my food now like everything is weighted like even just quoting them small things like i used to i used to drink like two or three cappuccinos a day bro they're like nearly 200 some calories each add that up over the whole week like you're putting in thousands of extra calories same with all these little small things never me feel that i'm very strict with that and then i'm very strict in my training times now i'm always there early even on even on saturday now going up having great spires with the lads and i've just i'm making it a priority that you need to train like these are your days there's no excuses it doesn't matter how you're feeling and when i get there i really enjoy it and even the lads are saying i look great i look much healthier skinnier and i look just real fresh and happy and i'm finally happy again i haven't been happy for a while because i felt like that's what i spent i spent the last two years trying to prove i'm trying to prove myself and trying to prove trying to prove to people i do belong here trying to represent my country to the best i can and like trying to like all this pressure and now it's now bro i've hit the biggest switch in my life where i'm going over here not to prove to other people i'm gonna have to prove to yourself this for you i'm here to prove this to myself make a statement to myself and do this for me me and me kids no one else i'm doing it for that's it i know it's about to give me a killer focus like i'm i swear i can't describe how how motivated i am like i'm even at nighttime i'm out running after wrestling inspiring everything with me fitness is through the roof now and space three weeks three four weeks i've taught like i've done a full 360. it's nuts you definitely seem like you have dean like i mean i know in the middle of the last while we were looking forward to seeing you fight but as you said you weren't in the gym that often and like that that was that was sort of not known around this area and like i just i think everyone just thought you're gonna go blow it blow away mike jackson with the click with fingers and like it goes to show you kind of overlook anyone and look how you look you look like a brand new person today compared to the dean we had in that in do you see uh fight week yeah and and it's it's it's not even that as well but the a lot of it to do i wasn't in the gym a lot because i had a lot of personal things going on outside of me like i had a lot of stuff going on in the game you know wait like one of my little brothers again like it's just probably for someone to tell people about that like my little brother like we had to get him into rehab and stuff like that and he was like don't you like he was on the peak of like dying like so we might he's my baby brother so i was going through all that and getting him into treatment and he's he's clean now and he's like a new man so he's inspired me so much like he's lifting me up he's he's amazing now like i'm so proud of what he doing like and so i was back then all that and now my brother is completely clean the last three four months he's he's doing unbelievable and it's fired me up and saying like look what he doing they can i can do this you know and yeah man i just i'm just getting back to you and getting stuck in and then i'm enjoying it again so i have no distractions in your personal life right now that's why i'm always in the gym now and i'm always on a good routine and that's the thing i had no structure the last time i was just going on a bleeding 5k run like for a ufc debut brown going down the gym and lifting mad heavy weight and put in a bag now in the gym because i had a lot going on and i was like i just don't want to talk to people i like face people or people touching on me like and i finally just i started speaking with like a mind coach and stuff like that and i finally just addressed everything and i feel like i'm just i'm just going to excel really fast right now well that's what we want to see them we want to see you know you on a personal level i just want to see you in good space and good head space and then like obviously as an irish fighter as well we want to see you putting the best version yourself forward and i feel like that's where we're going to get a toy in 77. yeah so the going on face and now um i can't even everyone else's name but he's a he's am way better than mike jackson like way better he's a jiu jitsu black belt from brazil yeah he's a my toy style player five and five ten fights he's a good real naked child economy submitted a good few people he's got a good ground game and he's got his aggressive style comes forward with heavy one tails rare kicks and everything and that's what i want that's the sort of point i want because i'm gonna bring him into my world and i'm just gonna move and pick him off the second even the second he flinches he's gonna crack them and i'm at that i might wait so long now where i'm gonna have that speed and energy to keep moving so like i'm gonna show people now my manager sent me a topology i didn't even look at it i could send you a screenshot of the message and he said perfect like like i do all the time don't care like just get me the fight it's a tough fight and it's the sort of way i need coming back i don't i didn't want it and easy for you i didn't want to fight someone crap i wanted to fight someone who's well-rounded and this guy is very good yeah dean just before we get more into that can you tell us exactly what the situation is with this fight then like if you win this fight are you back into the ufc can you sort of just clear up those those rough edges um i don't know like he just said show me get get another turn around fight quickly i just want to see him compose and see him back at 155 and then so look i could go out here now and put on a beautiful performance and like an absolute clinic and i could get called back in or i could have to go for it again so i that's what i'm saying the guys devote me live to it now where i'm ready to go straight back in after this for you i'm going to keep my weight nice and low and i'm going to be ready to go and that's all that matters to me is if it's not the fight after this i finally learned to be accepted to learn to accept things as they are and not be like wishing for this wishing for that and wishing me life away i've learned how to do some joy things now and enjoy the sport and fall in love with it again because when i when i do that that's when i'm at my best in the cage and now now i've addressed everything and i think i really am going to show like an amazing performance watch this space for us in ufc bypass yeah so someone might even say dean barry feels energized do you know what he's after bro i even feel more energized after talking to you boys energized therapy did you get my stairs up there and i'll skip that to yourself yeah absolutely uh dean is there any anyone you want to give a shout out to before we let you go yeah also how are we getting the job done on the third of june i taught nfc77 live on ufc foypass and if you're in boyami you uh knock it in for the crack um hopefully i so hopefully i keep my my 100 finish right in the first round that's what i'm hoping for that's what everyone holds her isn't it but look it i gotta again i'm gonna fail the fight out and just whatever it takes me it takes me whether it's a punch or a cake we'll just we'll see what happens but all right a nice uh spinning kick
