[Music] [Applause] [Music] Grand all right everyone uh welcome back I Fighting Championship um let's welcome a fighter who's no stranger to uh my interviewing Mr Alex and everyone thank you very much um first of all congratulations on that victory that was a hell of a shot um I was able to watch the playback on my camera there yeah um so Q [Applause] playback and was that was good that was fantastic um what what were you thinking kind of coming into this um I wasn't thinking more I got in of George on two weeks notice um that is yeah I had a different oppent early who fought um at 77 originally and then that end up whatever happened with that and then I got off of George I like yeah kill Grand let's take it I'm down the fight whoever I struggle to get match for this fight something desperate so I was just like yeah cool that works for me it's awesome um I'll tell you what when when I saw that you repaired I was like yes like this is this is my main event tonight um it was uh first of all it was a great way to kick off the main card um and it it was it did not let me down um it went uh just kind of how I thought it would go someone's getting knocked out basically cuz uh Russ he's he's swings he has a lot of submissions and like that's his thing he Smits people but he long too he's short but he has long arms yeah he's uh and he he just goes for it he trolls like you can see him TR Big Shots now I'm luy enough I've done striking for a very long time I've seen the game I've I've sped so many people I've moved around I have a lot of ring experience so it helps a lot when I'm in there fighting it helps a lot to know where me distance is where me control is you'll see me dropping into a few shots to clinch up I'm not too worri about him near I I take shots quite well I'm not worried about getting hit any sort of way okay um now you taking this fight with George on two weeks he said was there anything in particular that you maybe changed at the last second or you just kind of just continue with your normal uh enough actually I've called the shot I call this left hook knockout um de can be a person my brother who PS me on everything um and Lads in the back I think Luke might have some camera footage of me down in the back this is exact shot big left hook off the lead side and no real setup off there a big left hook and I'm actually left-handed hard man I'm actually left-handed so me power hand so um that's why see me too yeah so most people are sell PA on left hand but my power hand is me job and my left hook it's the closest one to hard and I hear hard it gotta so it worked out well for me that's great um and I know we've kind of talked about this before yeah well you know give us just kind of a brief you know what has Comic Sports done to benefit you as a whole uh it's helped me unimaginably um had to I've grown so much in confidence sure Physique Fitness all that that's great and it is and you can defend yourself the whole lot I just love it and it's weird but I like fight yeah it's it's fun like I'm the biggest nerd outside of figh and like I love luding and Star Wars and the whole lot but I like fighting I like people and that's is what it is nicest person outside of it I'm kind I try to be kind to people who in a cage I like to finish fights and I don't like to go distance for anyone absolutely sorry speaking of like physical fitness everything you're a great man like shred it dude like yeah I'm I'm big I've got I would never wear a shirt those you have yeah I've got a lot bigger now um especially since um I never used to do Str condition until about a year after the rain fight okay when I fought R R's a big dude he's shreded individual I have really big legs where I never had a big up body and now I put on the size like I fought a 75 there cuz I was comfortable down it but when I fight a 70 I'm a big guy to be find a 70 Kil okay like I I rehydrate big after fighting a 70 so the more you see me fight a 70 and that will be my plan fight a 7 I only took this because I couldn't find anyone a 70 what was it today 75 okay I was origin to fight at 77 I said yeah gr I go to 75 doesn't bother me um Russ was a great opponent to go to 75 too so I didn't mind and really he's a 70 kilo lad as well so it it was all the same to me gotcha is there a uh like any kind of specific personal mental health benefit you have found from doing you know comat sports like this um probably just the d-stress I know it sounds mad but when you're hitting things like lot people break out anger and things that and I found this helps my anger a lot grappling and stuff like that the pressure grabbing and and training and something phical yeah and being being the hammer and being the nail like you're not going to be like it's great on the night being being the hammer and  getting it done but in the gym it ain't that way like I was training with Andreas and it's it's not always that way sadly definitely not especially when you got a guy who's probably you know 30 40 kilos heavier than you oh yeah and like it can just be that way but it's it's great for you cuz you feel the way of oh I feel bad today I'll go training and some days you might not want to go and you're like ah I just go and I feel good after some days I go and I don't feel good oh I feel really good and then I don't feel good after but I know in the back of went and know I still done it I still got it done I still went and helped yeah is there is there someone kind of like in your life that really kind of pushes or motivates you um everyone be close family yeah and close family and and a girlfri as well and they all have they all have their own stuff to do like I've said this before on the on the podcast Ronaldo could have retired a n day and stopped done finished my man that hopefully I can retired him one day ly unless they wi the ORS or my big brother can retire them they're not going to retire they're going to walk same girlfriend I'd love to a retire hor as well the whole lot if not everyone's going to work Bas until what 65 67 till retirement and then sure what's what's after that not much yeah yeah all right uh back to the show back to I here um first of all these are these are really great shows and how do you feel having an event like this that's available to amateur Fighters you know kind of benefits the whole MMA Community oh yeah I think I think it benefits is how much uh Dei runs a quick show so you're you're in you're out there's not much like I you get a little walk out you do you get a little walk out I heard me walking in the jail house Rockway told I like old school music I like to dance I like to have fun and you but like that's a nice little walk about soon as you get in there get your fight on go home get back to the gym I don't really think I have any injur might have a little Nick or something from just a bit of muscle probably getting hit off Shan but in that like I'll be back grappling I'll take Monday Tuesday off back grappling Wednesday excellent so uh what's next on the the cards for you um I think I may have a fight in May it's not confirmed yet but uh whato uh I think May 4th to Kuma I'm not sure if it's fully confirmed yet or not um hopefully I'll know very soon hopefully by the time this out this is uh yeah hopefully maybe so um if the promot let me know it' be great um but I think I think it is a doneal so once that's out I'll have some news for right on uh do you have anyone specifically want to that that you would want to fight
