favorite M podcast how we getting on boys call me call me hands of storm boys oh you're not throwing pillows anymore you're not throwing pillows anymore not a hope not a hope I'm trowing cannons now boys I'm TR cannons absolutely absolutely obviously you're fresh off a massive win a cage conflict 14 opened the devonish in Belfast you had the place on Wheels as only you can do uh tell us this what what was that fight week like you know when uh unfortunately Sean had to pull out and then you got the got the new uh p in at the last minute what what was that like for you because uh I know you're panicking a bit at one stage very panicky and a very [ __ ] stressful week Bo a very stressful weekend just I got the news on Monday that Shan mcber is out with a concussion and straight away I start freaking out this and that TR this person that but no one in [ __ ] Ireland wanted it boys no one would step in there there was names I won't name any names but there was a lot of a lot of people put forward and there there's no one jumping in against me and late all this you know what I mean and no want this so we we scouted myone management scouted cage conflict as well and we got a f in Portugal my man Mone management got a fell in Portugal and this the stma fell the stma character and he was casting a bit to get in you know he was casting a bit but I was willing to [ __ ] to do whatever and accept whoever and you know only only myself my management cage conflict only know the sacrifices that were made the sacrifices that were made to get this fell over here sacrifices on on the other on our side's behalf right to get this fell over here but as I said I I accepted any terms anything just to get fight I couldn't give a [ __ ] I just wanted a fight I wanted to go train or and I wanted to knock his brain into a different Universe which I did so I'm happy out but it sounds that does that sound like you dipped into your own purse to get him over here sorry do you have to dip into your own purse to get him over here we'll say no more well look that just goes show the type of Legend exactly how much I wanted I'm willing to fight I'm willing to go and as I said big sacrifice is made and I don't care as I said man every fight the next until I get to the even when I get to the U man I not I want to get to the D see and compete against these Lads I want to climb the rankings I want to knock for Dead all the way you know money will come along but I have a mad passion and a mad hunger for the game I'm hooked on MMA I'm hooked on fighting I want to be the best money's going to come with it that's brilliant but I want to be number one you know what I mean I don't not do want to just to look for money here money there you know what I mean so I don't care if I get PA buttons for now well well it does look like since you've gone from amateur 2 Pro like uh a switch has been flipped you know what I mean it looks like you've really stepped it up a notch it looks like you're more focused than ever and I suppose one of The Telltale things that we saw was after the fight you post on social media it was your first time knock going on the piss after fight you're sort of giving up that party based lifestyle and it seems like you're all in now more than you've ever been yeah all in by and you know I know it's like life is too s for regrets but I remember like my whole am career I've been on the [ __ ] sist you know I might go five weeks off for a fight or and then I straight after the fight I'm away for four days on onest for [ __ ] no sleep no nothing still on it then I miss two weeks of training I come back I'm chasing my tail I'm on fit I'm not sharp it's a v was a cycle all time and uh no I'm not going to do that like I'm in a great spot I'm knocking fill us out I'm have I'm getting better I'm have to figure out this this power this power that I have and uh I'm not going to troll all the way by going and bend after every single session and what comes with Benders is problems in my relationship it comes with problems in in my like my personal life and with law or or whatever you know I I I I don't have time for all that stuff now I I have a dream I'm halfway I'm halfway into this dream and I'm in a very good place and I'm not going to sh away over the sess you know so it's time to give it up and get sober and stay so I'm sober to stay sober and I I think that's something that could be uh a massive lift for the you know youth around cork to see someone who was parking was in a small bit of trouble with the law like did had had that sort of background and now turned all around and then you know is looking to fight at the highest level possible and not only that but win at the highest level possible do do you do you feel like you know this could be a story to tell in a few years that you know story to it is going to be a story to tell I know for a fact it is you know I believe myself and and I can see it down the line and people to look at this and get inspired by it you know get inspired by me and and and give up the [ __ ] [ __ ] give up the drinking drugs and Chase your chase your dreams man chase your dreams cuz I started this only four years ago man and and look where I got me so if you put the time in put the effort in and I've done it on the S I've gotten this good so just imagine me without the [ __ ] s I'm a scary bastard already so you can imagine me know in the next couple years time I'm going to be a freaking a until you know I'm going to be knock for his dead left and right Ma mely and look I think we touched on the last day you know I mean despite the fact him which we absolutely hate cork you [Music] know the capital Bo must say m May cork is on absolute fire at the moment you know even if you take in um you know John Mitchell win the pfl um Paul Booky win in AFL yourself young Charlie Manning keny winning you know I mean like like the gym is on fire at the moment do you do you guys feel that feel like this's yeah great and you know know this like it's like I Jim the level is so good the level is always getting better something sometimes you might can do a spare and you know you might get wrecked and you might be thinking that might it might improveing at all but really is that the the level of the gym is getting so good that like every [ __ ] every spare is a war and and like you're getting pushed and tested every there's so many Fells coming through and you've EV hog and you've also as I I told you in the last interview le le mure but again of far injuries he misses Pro debut set at the end of the year but he'll be on the SC there there fell Sam dri going pro there's Jack mcgu is going to be coming back soon there's a level is insane in our gym and I show don't know four and0 Clean Sweep Barry oen myself Charlie and my brother as well you know I mean my brother's coming through the Mannings by you know what I mean so he'll be next he he's going be he's going to go to the go to the rankings he's going to go to the amateur sit there for for maybe a year or two and like he could be looking he'll be looking at Pro as well do you know but for now going through the going through the amateur stages and he picked up a very good win like he has the dog in him you whatever's in us I don't know where the [ __ ] we got it from we have it we have that doging us and he was down around if you want start our fight and um he came back and took two and three a lot of fellas their heads a dip and they get B the rest of the fight but not a Manning I tell you that much sorry Brian who who's better on the session yourself or your brother ah I take that clown no bro back in my days back in my days but he's well able as well Andel another thing for it's that like I don't have any I'm not judging anyone my brother he wants to have a have a drink after fights and people want to go on on the piss whatever no problem it's that I myself get into trouble and I'm on it for like four days you know I don't sleep or nothing on it and then I I get into as I said again to trouble you know so anyone else if you're fine onest I don't judge you belt away you know but for me not for me not for me if want to go places and tell us this was it was it a emotional seeing your brother fight before you and like is that something that you or is that something that you're like stressful man more was [ __ ] stressful like I I was [ __ ] watching I was on the way to the venue watching in the [ __ ] on my phone I was crashing the car and everything and screaming this and that but and I was thinking he's going to get I was worried he was going to get finished in the first round J your M your mom was had him down he he's Runing on shots and I was freaking out and I was like this can't be good for me before I fight you I mean like I can't be getting dist stressed and then I watched the second r I was doing better on as I got so that's Grand and then I got there for the tour round and I saw he won and just it's in Bast your man's Bast I was like I didn't jump into the cage I was going to go in and record the decision and I didn't bother I still aside because I was thinking I might just give it to him but then they gave it to him and I was [ __ ] delighted from him delighted delighted so that's a big as I said it's a big win from against against a Belfast [ __ ] and he show grit and determination and those [ __ ] Hill Sprints as well helped them out you got to do your Hill sprints that's it that's it you have to have that have to have that cardio the Manning brothers the new Diaz brothers yeah the new the Manning brothers yeah we SL the hell of the Diaz Bros now yeah I love the D I love the Diaz Bros how can you not love the Diaz Bros you know what I mean and tell us this Brian like I suppose it all comes down to what's next for you you know I mean you're going to be a covertable man last time we spoke there was talks of octagon there was talks cage Warriors we saw jumbo Jordan O'Neal in the comment saying he jumbo Jordan [Music] that would that would be a knock that the entire that be for sure and he was in the C he was there at K conflict standing outside the cage trying to give me the look and all that you know and then after I knocked him Ono I can see him again you know he knows that he's he's a fair obstacle in front of him you what I mean I really believe I beat anyone in irand man I believe I could take anyone at all at middle way in any middle way to division you know what I mean that's that's the way I'm thinking I'm thinking on the up here likeing Jordan is is is a fight that that really could happen next and I think it'd be a great fight man I think it'd be a great fight but I think there's only one winner do know what I mean I think there's only I do think I'm better maybe he thinks he's better and we we'll probably settle we probably settle there's a lot of things sorry a few a few years ago Jordan O'Neal was scheduled by pad McCurry on cage War M pissy string that L string a piss what did anything actually did you see any of the The Lads when you went to Fai weekend shot the pants he red he know I was coming he red Thailand tell us tell us this uh Brian if you if you had to pick mcor M jumbo or Patty out of the three of them who would like to get in there with i' fight them all I'd fight any of them all in the same night I five in each but you know know the one that makes more sense at the moment is probably Patty you know what I mean because because the beef and stuff and all that but y any one of them man I don't give a [ __ ] and I'm afraid of anyone of them I'd fight the whole of fa if I had to you know what I mean and um obviously uh April 26th cage War comes to doubl is that is that where where you're looking to get on one of those cards yeah yeah I say I say cage rers or or octagon there's an April show on octagon and there's other promotions too like who knows I might get a contract that has have a fight I can have a fight in El or something and comat Global is there like there's a few other organizations there like as well I suppose uh pfl may 10l as well but you know the thing about pfl right here's the thing I know P's declined UFC like I don't know how true that is but that's what I heard and he's on the pfl now and probably making a bit more money or whatever but to me there's nothing like fighting in the UFC I don't give a [ __ ] what what money are getting or whatever it's the UFC is the UFC man that's where I said that's that's the goal in promotion that's where I want to go so I don't want to go to pfl and like be delayed to get to the UC I don't have time to be delayed as well in 30y this year I know my Prime and I'm only getting into my Prime right now do J know but I still don't want to be getting the UC when I'm [ __ ] 35 or something you know what I mean that's not what I no I look at look if that's your goal that's your goal I was just thinking a one fight deal open Belfast nice learner for you nice bit of that was mentioned as well 14 but would they give me a 14 what pfl would they do a 14 we'll have to find these all these things out as I said walk one walk out deal one walk out I just walk out and I don't fight but like if you're if you're looking at the landscape of things as well right now Brian like obviously cage Wares are coming in now and and and signing up a lot of Talent last week we announced like there was a lot of Fighters uh they're especially trying to get on the the Dublin card then if you look at octagon over the weekend OB Dennis frong won and then will flurry is now the champ champ of the organization so they're gonna want to look over here and find more you'd fit both them organizations very well pfl there there's a lot of Fighters actually leaving the organization so it's sort of like you don't really know what their plan is yet inure the all options are very good for yourself yeah definitely and like like as I said now you probably have news by the end of the week boys you probably have news by the end of the week I'm fresh not a scratch on me I'm ready to go and like yeah Jordan O'Neal is looking likely on K RS or else is looking likely on on octagon octagon not Jordan O'Neal on octagon but me fighting whoever on octagon it's just as I said there are the two most likely options there now now if there's a great offer somewhere else do you know what I mean as I said there's things in the final Lan this week and we'll have a new end of the week but I'm open to all options that's why I haven't agreed on anything yet but I'm staying ready staying sober love it love it love it that's what want to hear you know yeah yeah you you're you're the man on the scene at the moment isn't he yeah yeah I am but I'm the man the hottest Prospect you know what I mean and uh like who I think I was going to get on the [ __ ] mic and party was meant to be at at C conflict and um I was like I was going to say all right uh what's going on at the moment PO is obviously the main man your I was like I'm [ __ ] next in line I'm you'll be calling me bigger news that's what you'll be calling me in time to come yeah BR Manning bigger news and [ __ ] um he wasn't even there he wasn't even there man and but I hit my hat off the Poli he is the man man at the moment but I'm next in line and and I'm going to be a level above you know that's from all aspects not from just the fighting from everything else the to the walkouts and and and this and that and whatever else you know I want the you know I love I'm hooked on entertaining man I really am what I love when I see the walk outs when I see The Knockouts I love looking at the reaction of people after and they're all I even I even J up myself I'm like [ __ ] hell I just did that you know like I love the reactions of people I love entertaining people and I think I'm a b man at this stage and I'm just meant to do it I'm here to I'm meant to I'm put here to do this [ __ ] so Happy Days yeah well even for ourselves like myself and Ross cover and MMA for this amount of time like it's people that stand out and make people interested and like uh like create a reaction from the the fans and like there's people online like and you definitely have that and that's why when the announcement comes out I'm sure we'll announce it as well obviously Ross and then huge it'll be huge yeah it will be big Ross to be yeah yeah of course it's definitely going to be huge and like it's not that often we have someone sort of on before fight and then straight after fight type thing you know what I mean and uh like just how impressed that knockout was and just the story of the week and stuff like that it it was just really really impressive um and look you're you're mosty TV at the moment Bri that's the way it is and I think I think whatever you do next you know it will have people choing at the bit to see and like people want to see you back in there sooner than later the first thing I said to you was not a scratch on you as as he came on today you know not a scratch on me and you know you know you're doing something right when everyone's calling out everyone wants to fight me John we p on the thing we've other fellas in comment saying this that Sean Kelly but you know Sean Kelly's irrelevant to be honest so I won't even talk about him but we [ __ ] I don't even look at the at the wary fight anymore man do you know me taking a that war fight right is actually a step down that that's a step down now for me do you know what I mean I'm G here he's still down there he's still the ugly little bum and I'm going all the way up so I don't even look at look at that [ __ ] as a fight right now and as I said there's other fellas calling me out in comments and other little bums and you know you're doing something right and I as I said like I have options here here here here all over the place so you know I'm doing something right yeah yeah absolutely and look I think it will it'll be once you make your next announ announcement where you're going next you'll see the level of fanfare behind it and you you'll you'll see where you're at you'll see you'll see uh where where where where the f fair is and how big of a name you're becoming on this local scene and again I think it'll be very much like you know if you we'll just say if you go to cage Warriors per se and you fight someone like a Jordan O'Neal like that'll be massive domestically you'll have a lot of eyes on it it be a lot of people like people's main event and then on that also like especially with the walk outs you know I mean like if you were on cage Warriors people saw that like we've all seen how massive a fan favorite Tobias hella is and like no one's like let let go herel because he's from Sweden everyone's like like you want to see I mean and like you'll get that as well you know I mean you'll get that whole uh if you go Doon you'll get that as well people would be like they'll remember you and that's part of mean exact they want to see you see you win or want to see you lose you make them feel something which is always what you need you have to make someone feel something if you make them forgotten about exactly they're paying money they want to they want to get there they want to be entertained and they want to to remember like and I'm giving people a I think that c conflict night but people won't forget that night do you know there young kids in the crowd there [ __ ] all these all these people who were there and like you know they're looking up to that and and and they they see the walk out they're like [ __ ] hell then they see the F then boom what the [ __ ] you know your man hits the ground like a [ __ ] dead body and I dare D then if I got a mic I would have topped it off they didn't give me the mic they probably I probably would have call the [ __ ] hold of f you know so maybe it was smart not give me the bike yeah the thing is there for for there there were so many fights on a c conflict right and the amount of Fighters that eventually like their dream or aspiration is to one day headline cage conflict I know they a lot of them would want to go further but that is a lot of their goals to one day do that and then you're after doing that and like I feel I feel like that doing it again and again and again and again Main Event EV evain event I feel like that's the perfect way you you've wrapped up your sort of domestic scene on the domestic scene but like uh here we du in he's on the show man he's on the show Bo special guest tell him he said his first and last appearance on the show right what is that you're gonna broke up to I said tell him we said his first and last appearance on the show very good very good Bri Brian obviously people are going to be keeping an eye on you like when should they expect this announcement to come I think end of the week man I think by the weekend could be next Monday by very within a week within a week definitely something's going to be announced very soon you know because I like to keep active and especially when I'm knocking fellas out and and I want to I want to keep going with that momentum you know I want to capitalize on everything and us to respect announcement within the week Main Event Manning coming to a venue near you yeah Main Event Json X [ __ ] Michael Myers the cannon you can call me anything no there pan [ __ ] Cannon fists I don't know anything boys well Brian ourselves and the whole RM scene cannot wait to see what what you do next is there anything else you want to say to is there anything else you want to say to everyone shout out to uh my sponsors right my sponsors uh Shandon buys 420 even though I don't smoke we but it was it's a nice sponsor but [ __ ] we have uh Sports Injury recovery Sports Injury recovery therapy um shout out to my management Alpha fighter management and sorry there just just want the voice again shout out to uh bario my manager shout out to MMA cark and cor Sports shout out cor Sports we're all going to the top boys we're all going to the top and don't forget energized Cork's favorite sh energized j j or whatever whatever the [ __ ] thank you apprciate the Jo show up the so Ross that was Brian Manning it was inde indeed Main Event Manning in full swing he's in great form uh really hope he does uh maintain that sober lifestyle because he's got absolute bulus of potential and I think he can go the whole way especially if he sets his mind to it I think all he needs is you know somewhere between four and six years and like he could have an unbelievable career you know so I think uh long way last from it seems to make him a better person when he when he's on the straight and narrow exactly and where would you actually like to see him next because as we were saying to him like cage Wares and octagon would both love to have someone like bran on their on their roster I just think I want to see Cage wiers versus Jordan O'Neal I think that se that fight is so sexy I think it's like such a slobber knocker of a fight yeah um like those two throwing hands at each other would be absolutely epic that's what I'd love to see um so give me jumbo versus Brian Manning yeah exactly uh if you are new to the show make sure to like And subscribe and make sure to check out our Instagram page because we keep you up to date with all the latest Irish MMA News and Combat Sports uh Ross there's no other place for no one else has like us well I was just looking over the weekend and that's 100% correct and uh Ross we're going to have to stick on cage Conflict for the moment cuz there were other professional fights on the card um over the weekend M defeated graem Sheen in the comain event and it was like it was an Absolut devastating knockout now we've been in contact with grahe he he is doing all right but what did you make with that fight as well Ross look it was a big finish for Merrick um I suppose he's an 85 Pro veteran now so it was a big step up for gra machine to take that fight um and look I think the experience may be showed and I think marrick should definitely get a shot on pfl Belfast I think why not um he's fought on Bellator before so you probably be familiar with some of the pfl personnel and I think I think that's a a good sh for him I think uh they need to get more Fai buddies uh fighting on the card and there's an A5 Pro so uh I think that's that's where he should go next and then also naine abub made a return and lost to decision against Nikita Val Ino Ross what did you make of Nadine's return look I think Nadine's probably only back training about six months uh obviously she had a child um and she was off for well over a year so I think uh you know maybe she just needs a bit more time to get back into it but uh I think she's also relatively unscathed so uh I think just bit of back to the drawing board on her uh I know she was working on her boxing in the buildup to this fight with uh Paul Ryan but again like she was fighting uh you know a standup expert and uh she probably didn't get to show as much as her boxing as she would like to um but look I think both herself and gra machine will both be back um you know what I mean tough tough losses to take as they are um I think anytime you take a loss as a pro like if you're not disheartened or upset by it you obviously didn't care enough so I think you sort of have to give yourself a week or two to like recoup and then back the drum board and back at it exactly and there was a lot of good fights on the card but the one I have to speak about was blame Migel defeating Dominic Rose by decision this one was an absolute slobber knucker at the end they refused to shake hands as well like there's a lot of beef here and um Ross like when it comes to amateur fights and like a fight going down like that and there's no handshake at the end they have to do it again don't they I think so I think like both guys would love it both guys are at the top of the sport uh in this way class and i' be all for it again whether it be on another cage conflict whether it be I I know um Dominic rhod's actually his next fight is already booked he's fighting Alex Fagan at Akuma but um I think I I think this fight should get booked again for later on the year whether it's their year wherever you know I mean I think uh it needs to be booked yeah no 100% so uh there were there those were the main talking points of the card uh shout out to the people who won the belt as well um there was a lot of decisions on the card Ross but we have to get into more action on the Irish M may scine cause octagon 68 went down in Stuart Ross and will flurry won in the main event and is now the Octagon champ champ the light heavyweight champion and the new Heavyweight Champion Ross what an 11 months it's been for will [ __ ] flurry yeah yeah unbelievable stuff he even got dropped with a job in in the first round and he came back and won um he seems to his boxing seems to have come on Leaps and Bounds I feel like uh his ability to go to the body against these bigger guys really wears them down and really uh puts massive dents in them and uh look he he went and got his hand raised both belts over his shoulder H he looked good D um it it was a tough fight you could see he's wearing a bit of damage on his face but uh will flurry at the moment he is the man he is the guy to beat um he he is the guy who is the face of oxyon MMA and I I can't wait to see what he does next you know what I mean um I know there talks maybe he goes to middleweight and wins the third Bel but uh the only thing is I I just don't know how good a cut to middleweight would be after uh after fighting a heavyweight it' be different if you did the other way went to one the heavyweight belt and then L heavyweight then down because he weighed 237 pounds um so you know I mean like that's that's that's a big L chunk of change to cut off but uh will flurry is the man and uh look being the light heavyweight King the heavyweight King I think the only other two people I've seen uh do that to come to mind is probably a few more but uh DC and Jon Jones are the ones who who come to mind when you think like heavyweight King heavyweight King you know what I mean and uh Wills flurry H he's holding both belts at the same time so I think joh H DC is the only other champ champ that I think of those two divisions he only have remember we DC remember we had M I was like you might have to go to super heavyweight might actually have to go to super heavyweight but like yeah speaking of the UFC is like earlier do you think that like Dana way or Hunter Campbell are going to be looking at someone like will flurry now and being like champ champ and octagon like put like fights and exci and fights potentially so like I I wouldn't put it past them but again like I just don't know how willing Oxon will be just to let him walk out uh especially with Bo belts you know what I mean so we we'll have to see I think um I think they're going to probably try and put them in some tough matchups now and and really really test them it's gonna be very interesting um let's see if he can actually bring them back to Ireland or it's it's show it's it's great to see that like he said he was going to do this he went and done it and now like it seems like the world is his oyster absolutely and uh Ju Just to like sort of touch on the rest of Oxon obviously Dennis frong went and got a win unan decision against Frank here was 5 and0 come in fight do you feel like he would have uh silenced a lot of doubters now Dennis frong after that performance definitely definitely the the way you see Dennis fan pong right the way he promotes his fights and gets people so engaged is like nothing I've seen in a very long time like the way he's just suited to be the villain isn't he m like he said even in his post for interview that he he he lives eight days a week so he has like seven days of work and then one day of just replying to the haters unbelievable unb yeah he is he is he's he's he's someone who oon are blessed to have yeah yeah and like it's gonna be interesting now to see who else could they potentially sign as well so like it's actually it's really really heating up especially in the Irish ma scene now as well because like when you get Irish Fighters being successful in organizations they always look over and be like who else is the next guy that's why I hav bran on it's like this guy could go left or right interesting also I think Derk key was in will flurry's corner so I wonder is there gonna be conversations there like you know could he go fight KN gun what story pfl because he hasn't got a fight booked at the moment so hopefully we get him booked sooner rather than later and hope fight somewhere or even James Giger yeah James Giger as well definitely an option yeah yeah um Ross also over the weekend cage Warriors returned to Rome cage war is back bud Adam shell won by unanimous decision in the yellow gloves Ross Adam shell is back with a win um how happy you to see the teen KF man get the victory yeah mass mass fan of Adam shell uh obviously uh my uh my favorite uh fireman who fights in M May including C is Adam Shelly what a guy doing it for D fargate doing it for team KF um really lovable guy uh that great see him in the wing column uh moves to six and four uh again like Adam Shelly you know what I mean like his record might not look perfect but like he's not an easy fight for anyone uh he's right up there with the best um there's some top guys in that lightweight Division I think there's a bit of a a log Jam at the top I think uh obviously Adam fighting the Manchester um who knows when we see James power next like he he's someone who I wouldn't be surprised to see on like Dana White's Contender series and then obviously uh George Hardwick is defending the title um at UFC or sorry cage Warriers unplug so like there's a bit of a log Jam at the top I think you know one or two more wins and Adam shedy could definitely be up there um you know looking for for a lightweight title shot I think uh him against um is a hens is that how you say yeah the fell fellow uh yeah I think I think that's a good match up next for Adam Chell why not and I think qu Hagen's recently pulled over fight so he'll probably be looking to get rebooks soon I think that's that's a nice fight for Adam CH Point next there you go and then we also have to give a shout out to Dylan Logan who made his return for after after like being inactive for all over or four year years Ross uh he won at rage UK by submission in the first round and is the new rage UK lightweight champion yeah absolutely and uh on the Mikey called for it afterwards to fight for the featherweight belt there next and my only takeaway is again like Dylan nogan as far as I'm where he's probably a free agent like could he be a good show for pfl could he be a good show for cage Warriors Dublin if they want to do more Irish on Irish violence I wouldn't be against it you know what I mean so uh let's see where he goes next um but Dylan Logan welcome back to the Irish M scene uh and I can't wait to see him in there again he looked really composed throughout the fight um looked good on the fee H obviously finished off with a lovely armar so uh yeah I want to see Dylan Logan sooner rather than later same here so Ross I'm just going to have to bring up the UFC from over the weekend UFC 313 we have a new UFC light heavyweight champion in magamed an kov after he defeated Alex Pereira by decision Ross how happy are you to see a new ly heavyweight King not really so I think H everyone loves Alex Pereira and I feel like a win here would have had Pereira versus the winner of Jones aspal I feel like you know there are some big fights but now I feel like we're going to do I I feel like UFC is going to Dan White already sort of alluded to it they're going to go down the rematch H I think Pereira versus anv uh I had 48 47 for anv um just think you know the the grappling of anv is going to be something that perer is going to have to overcome um but again like you know great way to overcome grappling is knocking out your opponent and then no one has better knockout power in the light heavyweight division than the one and only Alex Pereira so uh look I'm here for the rematch um again if the if Pereira is not available in time I wouldn't be surprised to see them do um Y prasa and to be honest I wouldn't be against seeing Alex prer fight the winner of Aspen Jones anyway H for at heavyweight I think H he's still won of the biggest stars that they have the sport yeah Jones aspal has to be has to be announced soon hopefully um Ross also in the comain event we had gaii defeat FV in an absolute Barn burn it's the second time they fought we're obviously there we lucky enough to be at the their first fight but like what a fight also like fev's technique is just uh on a different level yeah he's uh one of the elite Strikers in the game um and look gaii is a human highlight Real by Nature um you know his nickname is the Highlight so uh another unbelievable fight uh as good as the first one if not maybe even better um Master respect for fiz have taking the fight on short notice again someone like gagei apparently loads of people turn it down um G to be interesting to see where we see gatei go next you know there's there's talks of uh just porier having a retirement fight um he sort of alluded that that he has an opponent but like I don't think people would be against saying H po po versus gaii again uh if not like I think you know gaii versus Charles Aliva could be good scrap h a rematch against Max Holloway I don't think anyone would say no to that as well H I think Gate's got plenty of options at the moment and I think uh he'll probably be rewarded um for taking the fight on short Noles and staying on the card because they needed his star power on the card definitely um just uh wrap up the card Russ the first on the pay-per-view ruy this guy got a spin wheel kick to knock out King Green Ross watch make a ruy and and the way his technique the way the way he fights he's sort of like a an orthodox Conor McGregor yeah he was he's H he's known for his H finishing power and that Spinning Wheel kick was so clean it almost looked like he missed him it was so smooth it was uh absolutely beautiful and look I can't wait to see him in the again mixed up with some of the best in the division I actually think him versus FV would be a great fight next like why not like I was just like wow this guy is a star because that's the thing UC they need they need more stars and like when someone fights like that and gets finishes like that that's how you become a St like even W book is still living off that KO um Ross we have to discuss Dana White teaming up with turkey Alik Alik um and they are now starting their own boxing organization uh Rost the news came out last week Dan White is finally now seems is now finally fully in in the boxing scene uh what you make of the agreement and what you what do you make of it for the landscape of boxing throughout the world well I think this is going to be really good for boxing and I think one element that's going to benefit the most at anyone I think is actually oish boxing we already seen colum m face of UFC five pass H he's the face of zua boxing he is going to be at the Forefront of this deal H we also see Thomas karthy as someone who they're massively impressed with we had Thomas on last week and he you know I wonder will um um Turk Ali will would he be at this um event in Madison Square Garden and will this be sort of you know seen as one of the first events all under under this new uh zua era box this TKO boxing as might say because um Nick khah who's basically the main guy who runs WWE is also in on this so like you got to believe that they're going to have unbelievable production value they're going to have unbelievable storage Helen and you know if you were a boxer I saw cie McKenna was at uh at the UFC and he had a chat with Dana White uh in passing at one stage and you got to believe if Dana White YouTube Steve McKenna he is the ultimate Dana White type fighter he's in there for the finish at all times and I think there's going to be an absolute plethora of Irish talent that's going to get snapped up to this and I think we're going to see them massively on the the world stage and I could see um like a lot of times uh as of late WWE and UFC are like piggybacking off each other's dates there might be like a a SmackDown on a Friday night and then WWE or sorry UFC on a Saturday night uh or on a Monday night and like it's keeping the sort of same you know I'm gonna say 18 to 40 year old male category um you know with the boy in there and who's who's to stop them having a a boxing event on a a Thursday night or Friday night if there's no WWE on or maybe even on a Sunday night and you know getting these events really going with the fan base they've already accumulated yeah it's just the way I'm just going to call him turkey because I can't keep ping his name but the he's now met all the fighters he's P he's basically paid nearly every fighter that has a big name in the scene I haven't heard one person say a bad word about him so therefore he's obviously a good businessman or or pays well so people love him and now Dana White what he's done with the UFC is just like on a different level um like Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren are now friends again because turkey uh and I was listening to people to discussing this agreement that people only really care about the fights on the card They Don't Really Care who the promotion is or like this that and the other they it's it's like if matching see best fights they want to see the fighters in there they don't care whether it's Eddie Hearn or they don't care whether it's Dan fight or they don't care Frank Warren doesn't matter they want to see the fights and that's it like you want to see your D Ball versus AJ you want to see usk versus Joe Parker you're not there going oh it's Eddie heroy versus Frank waro you don't care no no it's more like just because it's a matchroom show doesn't mean people are 100% going to go it it depends who's fighting on think now the UC see have a totally different show like the way it's like doesn't even matter who's fighting on the card that place is going to be sold out um I don't think any other organizations even come close to it so all these Fighters known there's going to be a belt known they're going to be in with the the likes Dan White and turkey over wherever they host these shows people are just GNA like swarm to it I think uh there's talks about um Terence Crawford fighting Canelo Alvarez for the first event that's going to be happening in September they were saying um on the mcae show so but the one person who's definitely going to feed off this is like colum wal like massively like and that's going to drip into the r scene as well because they're going to bring do another show in Ireland at some stage again um colum really wants to have it in Cork uh who knows where they're gonna have it but they're gonna have it in Ireland at some stage and that as we said these other Fighters like for instance Thomas carties uh you mentioned Steve McKenna your Aaron McKennas there's plenty of Irish Fighters that are going to be looking to get in these cards like to um mck Conan fought over the week weekend as well um he won unfortunately T McKenna lost but there's so many fighters that all now is the time to really push because this is a this is going to be exciting times for not only boxing fans but combat sports fans as well um Ross just gets touching on colum Walt he's fighting this Sunday uh in the garden in Madison Square Garden he's fighting against soderland uh Thomas Cy's also fighting on the card against Callaway Emma Brennan's fighting Kevin Cronin on the card as wellat baby there's a few other fights as well to be look out for on that card that's going to be a UC fight pass this Sunday but uh as you said it will be interesting to see like is Dana GNA be there I presume so will turkey be there like it's just it's really really kicking off now big time Big Time come wa for yeah then also coming up this weekend we have Friday night cage Warriors 184 unplugged team KF Craig mccon is making his debut with the organization on Friday we announced that over the weekend then yeah in the main event Ross you said was George Hardwick yeah he's taking on clay for the lightweight belt um look I think George is trying to rack up the wins and trying to rack up some finishes to get himself back to the UF UFC uh sort of Realm whether he gets another Contender series shot or whether he uh picks up a a got somewhere in late notice who knows but uh George Hardwick is uh taking on clay in the main event and as I said Craig mcgrattan is taking on Luca to noio H in in a featherweight boat so uh great see Craig on promotion and uh I'm just looking forward to seeing this like sort of next wave of Irish talent fighting on the cage warer scene I think it's going to be an absolute epic night and I think cage Warriors is going all out at the moment signing up all the Irish talent they yeah yeah it's quality to see then um Saturday night cage Warriors 185 Manchester being headlined by Luke royy make sure to check out that event because the Manchester GRS are always actually very good to be honest uh yeah mass mass event then cage Legacy is back with
