thank you thank you for having first of all uh is becking stand has been has been great surprisingly um I didn't know what to expect coming here but I've been here for two days um uh tonight I actually find out who I'm going to be fighting and I have my first fight tomorrow uh and honestly I'm I'm feeling so good I'm just I'm just ready to perform ready to do what I do ready to do what I've been doing the past 10 years yeah and like that obviously coming away a goal from the last one and and the performances you've had on Irish soil like like we were just talking about before you came on like I felt your last performance was was a master class and it shows the levels you've grown what kind of confidence are you going into this one with I've really worked out my my mental side of the game I think with with this with MMA you you've got to be bulletproof physically and mentally and I I've actually believe it or not I'm I've read my first ever book I've read I've it's my first ever book I was reading and I think it benefited me it's called The Champions mindset a book my brother gave me Avenue um it really did one of 100% like open my eye and and see the other side of stuff of the mental side of it but of course um I'm really confident as I am always going into fights and I'm I'm really ready to bring gold home to Ireland yeah and like that you said with the mental side and I I've noticed how mature you've got with the fighting and and the mental side of it do you think the mental side is is overlooked by Fighters sometimes because obviously you train the whole kind of thing is is mostly physical when you go training it's physically physical do you think it's overlooked like the mindset that you have to train your mind you have to read these things and because it for self-belief and stuff like that you think people need do you think it's overlooked by some Fighters is what I'm asking basically for sure yeah definitely I think if you want to be the best of the best like the best of the best and the peak level you can and be the best fighter you can 100% you have to work at your mental side of the game uh the mental side of the game is for me personally I'd look at it as at least 80% of MMA the physical side is 20% um once you have a strong mindset and it's bulletproof and and you're in your right Zone you're thinking well you you've every every everyone that you need behind you and everyone's going forward you you're you're you're winning regardless like you're going to win regardless and I think this this this time I've I've been trained really hard mentally physically everything honestly um this is the best I've ever felt uh physically and mentally and I gu guarantee you I will be bringing back gold for for Ireland in five days time these next five days will change the way people think of me I'm currently the European Champion I don't even think of that at this moment in time like these I'm currently European Champion I don't focus on on this status or anything I'm I'm here to to show my levels and show how good I am regardless of me becoming the world champion or not is obviously my my number one choice but I want to show how good I am in this in this comp coming up yeah no and I like the confidence and I like that the confidence is built through years and years of trading and and what you've had to do to get here and like that
