Energized Show interviews Peter Queally at Bellator Dublin media day ahead of a five-round world-title fight in Dublin. Queally dismisses the idea of his friend Dylan Moore fighting Jake Paul anytime soon, despite earlier public comments that Moore would beat Paul. He frames a potential home-soil world-title win as ranking among the highest achievements in Irish MMA, alongside Conor McGregor as the only other Irish world champion mentioned. Queally says he is treating the bout like any other fight, avoiding over-analysis, and expects a bloody, grueling 25-minute war that favors his cardio. He says he pushed for a 25-minute fight and welcomes the five-round format because he believes his gas tank is stronger than his opponent’s, whom he describes as explosive early but prone to slowing down. Queally discusses visualization, predicting a brutal fight that may leave both men needing medical care, but ends with his hand raised. He plans to celebrate with a belt visit to the Black Forge Inn, where he expects Conor McGregor will insist he bring the title.

[Music] energize show up the irish that's all i can say peter your friend uh your friend dylan uh down this obviously looks like he's gonna be out for a little bit longer i know you had said publicly that you feel he would beat jake paul if they were to fight do you still hold that opinion do you think that he should fight him next get the [ __ ] out of here now with jake paul thanks peter back to a real question uh obviously you know the walkout is absolutely iconic you have the chance to become the first ever oil to win a world title on home soil where do you think that memory will rank in terms of all-time irish mma um accolades and you think in years to come there'll be a hundred thousand people are in the three arena when peter queenie lifted the world for the first time um yeah it's gonna rank right up there the only other man who's won a world fight with conor and obviously this is this is a really great stage to share when you're you're in that kind of realm where you're linked to conor mcgregor in terms of your achievements so that's where it's going to be and you can't really get any higher than this and with that preparation obviously john kavanagh has prepared conor mcgregor for a world tour i thought before have you uh you know touched on that with john and has he given you any tips to prepare for a world qualified or are you treating the same as any other fight same with any other floyd i'm not i think you can get get yourself in trouble analyzing these things too much so i try not to do this with all my fights and i'm certainly not going to start doing it now and i think you can kind of freeze yourself down and and you have an idea of how the fight's going to go and then it often doesn't go this way and then you're there's an element of panic sets in there because it's not going how you thought it was so i'm just trying to be relaxed and just i just want this to be a fight that's my plan let's make this crazy crazy fight the more horrible it gets the better because if it goes that way who's going to win of course me we've actually always said that that uh appear queenly fight it's not a good peter queenie fight until someone bleeds so uh that's the way we we we'd love to see it for that do you think the five rounds really benefits you in this point do you think your gas tank is better than his come on geez of course it is um i'm known for my cardio um he's known for getting slowing down he's known for being an animal in the first 10 minutes and then fading a little bit so of course it suits me for this 25 minutes um i actually wanted whatever was it for not i was trying to get this to be a 25 minute fight regardless which they weren't going for but then thankfully got changed to a toilet about so it's 25 minutes now but this is a big swing in in my favor that is 25 minutes sorry you got it oh sorry i just one last question on from myself uh just um i wonder is visual visualization something that you do and have you visualized how this fight will end uh i have i've i try and visualize the good things and i try and visualize the bad things because you need to be prepared for that because of a feeling this will be tough i don't think it's going to be easy i think it's going to be really hard brutal 20 or 25 minutes for both of us both of us will probably go to the hospital i think afterwards and all of my hand raised that's all that's honestly how we see this i'd love to say i'm gonna kill him quick but it's probably not gonna go that way it's gonna be a rough one i think um but as i said the rougher it gets this all favors me hopefully you got a whiskey and a pointy guinness in before that yes hopefully yeah peter will you take that belt out to the black forge in for a proper celebration i will yeah i'm sure i'm sure conor will make me bring it in here [ __ ] might end up hanging up on the black foreign [Applause] irish been sussing you guys a couple of times i've seen a couple of clips i think you're doing some interviews with dylan moore and then that i i saw so keep going keep up the good work guys
