Pre-fight interview on Fansview MMA with Brian Manning and Jordan Heath ahead of Manning’s professional MMA debut in Cork on Elite Fighting Championships. Both fighters trade heavy pre-fight banter but also mutual respect: Manning wants to capitalize on a hometown pro debut and knock Heath out, while Heath frames himself as the traveling outsider who expects boos and plans to upset the local favorite. Manning discusses his regional amateur success, welterweight cut without extreme dehydration, and plans for more Cork shows plus possible Premier and Elite appearances in December, with long-term ambitions toward Cage Warriors, PFL, or UFC. Heath describes a difficult Safe MMA clearance path through the NHS, going private via Mr O’Callahan and a nearby Safe MMA doctor, his independent status while training on and off at Team Renegade, and past pro obstacles including a short-notice debut, testicular cancer, and prior fights underprepared while drinking. Both say they are locked in, healthy, and focused on an entertaining, violent fight rather than point-fighting. Medical clearance and brain-scan bureaucracy are major themes, as are the financial and personal sacrifices required to compete in Ireland and the UK.

speed kills don't do that sh bro don't do that keep it keep it clean but next question to Brian obviously is your pro debut we've watched you on the regional scene how much does it mean to you to make

I'm serious about it you're lock how the [ __ ] how the [ __ ] are are you up in that tree there how how how you have to set that up bro you should got your own [ __ ] you don't need your own team I'm putting these promos together by you can you can do all let carry up in the trees know you know what I mean this is the good thing about it beat L if I was where I was before because I'll always be happy for to kage Steel for giving uh an independent guy a chance to come in and try and get it on but the first pro I did was against the guy from Carlson Gracie jiujitsu and I did that on three weeks notice for my first pro fight because my head was gone I had a lot of [ __ ] in my life and that and I just wanted to get in there and get the experience and then the next one year after I had ball cancer and then I had to cancel that one against an Icelandic fell I was going to the [ __ ] out about to pull out of that [ __ ] and then the following September after that I had one with gav LOF thingy he had like 10 team members with matching t-shirts and [ __ ] I went there with [ __ ] no Corner man and just me [ __ ] brother and his misses you know what I mean they had to give me Corner man I didn't even trap to him before and I went out there dancing you know so I ain't bothered but this time I'm locked in proper I've been training prop good come here let me ask you something have you a team or a club or what or you are you just independent I'm independent as such I do train with Team Renegade a bit I've been there for the last few years on and off on and off on and enough but like as I say they only let their amateurs fight if they're like a blue b or a certain level of JJ I wasn't there consistently because of injuries I haven't had their back in as such as corners but I know enough in the sport I've been doing it since before even Leon Edwards [ __ ] started you know what I mean I've been doing this [ __ ] a long time all the knowledge as much as the coach so I kind of with me it's not just doing the fighting it's trying to outsmart the corner as well going forward that's what I want to do you know 100% 100% I've I've got guys coming who like a close friend and a guy that's like good for the mental thing he's an NLP coach he's an xboxer he's a bodybuilder now uh so yeah it's a nice bit of support and yeah going forward good man good good you're doing the right things but do the right things and as I said I appreciate you get into this fight man appreciate you get into this fight and and you know I was I was with the scan thing there I was I was talk for a second I was trying to think you're trying to a move you know and like what gonna do but now you're on a show up respect no man I've tried everything I can to get this going man like there's been obstacles there there there and I was like [ __ ] this this is happening I believed you know and he passed it all so let's do it I GNA ask you question okay because obviously I know Brian and when I kind of came back from my break I seen you were fighting Jordan and when I seen Jordan and his Instagram I was like he's [ __ ] interesting as well I know what you're like what was so I'll go with Brian first what was your first impression of Jordan when you seen him because when I seen this I said this has to happen what we're doing right now because of the what was your first impression of him his personality he a m [ __ ] a m bastard but you know I take well to my bastards you know I [ __ ] um I thought yeah a good crack a good mad [ __ ] a good mad man everyone thought the same have my gim have my Jim is following the bastard I mean I'm following so yeah go I can't wait I can't wait that right and I mean this respectfully I'm gonna punch that off you right but I will shake your hand after good and we we will have a good laugh and and [ __ ] uh I'll support you after that man I'll support you after that and like my sh like M come man might sh to be mad my sh to be crazy after fight but you might make me look normal up there because heuck yeah I mean yeah yeah brilliant I love the respect and that B's been that way all through but we both know when the cas door closes we're both going to give it our [ __ ] bestest our bestest our bestest ever we're gonna go mad any so fans are watching this don't think that we're [ __ ] what it is just neutral respect as Fighters when we go after I'm G to give him a big [ __ ] hug and a kiss on the forehead whether I'm trickling with blood out the face or not com on he's gonna ask me the same question though a he what did I think of you what was your and his personality say some good things well when I first seen it I saw the pictures and I saw his thought and I thought oh is that is that him oh [ __ ] [ __ ] he looks a bit [ __ ] mean that one didn't he look you know looks like he's watch I watch some of his fights and like I said and I watched his last few because I say You're only as good as your last fight and as he improved and everything so yeah like the way he moves in and out and yeah un like his personality his personality is bang gun and that's what you got to do in this game there's too many guys even at UFC level that the cameras in front of them and their ass F through some of them it's a language thing I can't blame them and the way their culture is and that there's nothing wrong with that but some of them they've got all the opportunities and they just don't even make the effort and that and then they're moaning about pay disputes and whatever else is but it's not about always just that and and Bran's got that thing and he's got that X Factor thing and no matter what results of this one or whatever else going forward he'll always have that thing he'll keep going and he's strong tough and I'm not taking a man lightly he's a [ __ ] tough Irish man you know and he don't [ __ ] about and I like the way he moves in there he's got he's got ground and he's got stand up and I want that challenge and I not taking Trust Me by I might talk this [ __ ] and say this snap but I'm not as I said before I don't care who I'm fighting man I don't care I don't care who it is but I will train me bollocks off and this is what I done I'll train me bollocks off the day you stop training here is the day you lose mean yeah definitely as Muhammad Ali used to saying it was before all the lights and all the shining man it's [ __ ] easy then man you 100% before I left [ __ ] [Music] Al let's go boy you but obviously once the fight's got the fight's G ahead on Saturday we're obviously we with the the scan thing the brain scan were both you kind of concerned about it getting over the line then or or because I know we're too price GA saying we're gonna have to pull this if this a't done and that and I got fed around with the British NH chess over here were there were D oh six weeks ago I knew about this MMA say for about eight six to eight weeks I've been telling them since these last two weeks I've been in the doctor's surgery six times and going up and down and chasing the [ __ ] and they just kept [ __ ] me so we had to go private and go to the MMA safe guy that blessing Mr O Callahan got me through and found one close to where I live about an hour away and I've done everything I can to get up there and get that done and luckily [ __ ] Universe saying we're getting that fight no negativity was there it was just very very stressful I've got no manager or anything luckily I had a little bit of support from my girlfriend and that and uh yeah big help man disaster it was a for me there was the same for me but just just get over these hor and stuff and say MMA we deal with they Jesus Christ they take their [ __ ] time but they cut it very tight then you have to get some other scan and then [ __ ] another scan on top of that and then just [ __ ] it's it's I need to pay this money and this this and that to pay so much to [ __ ] fight nowadays you know even though in amateur I say I probably spent [ __ ] near I know the bonds of a grand or two maybe even more just just just trying to fight you know and it's even the same AO the start you know I mean until you until you click somewhere sacrifices it we making it's we're cleared for a couple years sacrifices you have to make man you have to you get to the states and all over Europe with that now can't we so yeah 100% man make the sacrifices and [ __ ] was wor the stress help to get more locked in for it you know the who knows J you could be in the [ __ ] WWE in a couple years bro that's the plan we could be the Dudley Bros yes [ __ ] bastards you we could be Kan and Undertaker boy yeah [ __ ] Doom that's that's plan by bu buing people I like buing people they pay more as well they pay more to but they pay weekly bro not [ __ ] buy every few months they here weekly yeah yes trust me get our own story line going and [ __ ] let's go bro let's go tag tag the unbeat tag team man the unbeaten tag team [ __ ] chair going off heads yeah [ __ ] chairs going off sheds yes next question tag team what were you saying I love the idea of he a tag team in the WWE after that's a fantastic idea that's a money maker right there as well that is a tag team champion but obviously Brian sorry go ahead go on no no go what say h obviously this is your first fight in Pro you're going to be able to use the elbows and knees are they something you've been working on throughout this Camp peace peace 100% 100 million percent but I don't I said this in an interview did and I said people go pro and they don't they don't they don't introduce the things that they they didn't have at amateur you know they don't bother with the niece they don't simulate kn know do the elbows you know past like they don't [ __ ] do the same they don't bring in the the new tools you have you know but I have been hitting pads the whole time I've been using my spars elbow pads knee pads I've been P myself different because like I I have a [ __ ] engine on me I have a big engine on me but anyone can gas anyone can use too much of their energy and [ __ ] and kill themselves you know so I think that managing my energy and [ __ ] and just just just being that bit smarter and yeah I'm looking forward to was man but I'll use them smartly I'll use them in the technical manner I'm not just going to go down fling elbows and get clipped on the way you know what I mean I get taken down or something you know so yeah it's white differential as well you got you got to kind of manage your your stamina but also you can feel that I mean in my first one uh I think the guy came in he was like a light heavyweight cut down to a middleweight and he was [ __ ] like VOR Bell for [ __ ] tra [ __ ] me he did this [ __ ] knee to me chest I was like a [ __ ] and I took his back took him down and put my weight on him but he was like some mad Carson Gracie Jujitsu King guy and I was talking to him when I was on the top of him and I went down for an elbow but as my hip my weight came up the elbow he kind of sweeped me and sweep round and he ended up on top you can just feel that slight differential in white man if if it's on the ground but it's you know stand up you can get crazy man people got too much weight you know what are you cutting for this you cutting a big weight or what you don't know six or seven bro I could have Push six or seven I could probably push the Welter you probably could too but it's you're killing yourself and nah I don't do that anymore last time earlier this year was it last year I was trying to cut down to lightweight like a [ __ ] and I I had to pull out of it literally two days before because I was near like nearly dead in hospital like was ridiculous so I'm doing that again like I've done Welter before but this one I've got I've been walking around at like 84 then I was 85 and fueling up for the workouts and then I was like 8 seven and now I'm like 85 and a half 85 and it's 84 and 84 and a half is the cut off so I'm good 84 I'll be using the 84 and a half in I'll be using that [ __ ] half yeah man gotta get it healthy man so our chins about none of these crazy weight Cuts don't believe it's a no it's it's a dangerous [ __ ] dangerous thing I think the way cut man and the lack of food on fight week is actually harder than the fight itself if I'm going to be honest it add to the nerves you'll have 40% nerves took out you if you doing all that ridiculous man ridiculous man looking very far this fight when here three days out bro and this is the perfect time to do this even though we're ball com we this and that but the perfect time to get this done tomorrow start away because Friday we way I don't know what the story the way is but we' both be there any we both get a
