on show time would you start with the daggers bryan it's great to have you back home man how are you keeping yeah man i'm great i'm [ __ ] posing here you know it's uh it's tuesday morning you know just having breakfast weight is good head is good everything is good man i just i'm like i've said it in the last couple of interviews i'm like a kid at christmas here i keep waking up oh yes it's fight now [ __ ] it now it's not i keep thinking it's fight day but uh we'll get there and you know it's i've put so much work into this i've been so like i've just been i've done everything to the letter and i just can't wait to get on saturday night and show everybody this you know what i mean yeah 263 this saturday make sure not to miss it you know basil bryan you you've invested a lot uh not into just this camp but like even into your house at home like you you've uh built new stuff within your house what what sort of equipment have you got in there now because i think it's all you have a sauna and something else in there now yeah man i just [ __ ] i don't know what it is but uh look at i don't i don't spend money on dumb [ __ ] i do it stuff that you know as soon as it pops in my head i just keep thinking of it unless they're basically but uh like of a home gym it's fully equipped like a martial arts area of you know treadmill boy they're high-end ones you know what i mean i've you know everything i need for martial arts there and then uh you know i've put into my house like a new sauna and stuff for recovery um you know so i've just i've got a really good training area there i've got a really good recovery area there and then just down the road is my actual business gym so i'm i'm pretty blessed really with everything to be honest i mean but that way yeah that's it that's one thing i was saying before you're on air i was like i was like rolling's like one of these people who is literally ready all year round like you'll never catch them out of shape um like you're constantly training and you i always want to say i think roy moore is one of the most underrated fighters that ever come out of ireland and i was saying you're on a bit of a streak at the moment brian i think your last two performances have been to your best performances what sort of exp what sort of performance can we expect this saturday better again better again like um you take away the hat fight where i broke my two hands that was a great performance as well and if i had won that one which i was on a very clear path to winning you know i'd be on like a four or five fight win streak you know i'm on i'm only peeking you know and i really really believe that and this camp was a completely different level again and i'm not just saying that because i'm trying to amp myself up burning i'm saying it because i'm just stating facts here you know i have amazing training partners and i love them to be the bits but i had to get a fresh man every round because they couldn't keep up with my with my pace with my energy and that's the kind of that's what i'm bringing on saturday night you know um i think i think it's i use the word look i'm lucky i'm not really looking i work very [ __ ] hard i'm not going to say the stars are aligning because again if they're not i've put myself into this position where i'm i'm firing an old cylinder i'm ready to go and put in a hell of a performance do you feel right now uh brian you're like at your actual peak because you're i think if i'm correct you're 33 now like i mean every time anyone we look at your stories or anything you're conceited you're you're doing something you're either training or else you're keeping the kids busy you're just the model professional really i'm sure everyone that's watching now could 100 degree but obviously but i mean like do you do you feel like you're in your absolute prime right now probably i don't know probably not i don't know it's only when you get past your primary realize when you're at it and are you improving on a daily basis and i think what i do is so different than everybody um that it's kind of hard to monitor or track i think i'm an outlier in the sense that i do 70 of my training by myself 30 is with people with coaches with teammates 70 is done by myself and since i've adopted that model i'm i'm flying it i'm doing great and um you know the time will tell but what i what i will say is i'm 33 i feel a far better at least a far healthier human et cetera et cetera than it was when i was 23 28 whatever it may be so right now every single i'm not saying that it's not it's not a saying or an expression but every week i'm a better athlete every week i'm a better fighter and you know my my coaches will tell you that my teammates will tell you that saturday night will tell you that too well do you think with that 70 30 split that number one you're not as doing as much spar and as much contact with people and that's giving you longevity and number two you get to listen to your body more and you know when to push and when to pull back because when you're training with people and you're in a class and you're doing drills or whatever i mean you might actually be doing 20 minutes before the class is over and you know i mean you're good luck because you're trying to be tough if that makes sense no i actually no to be honest i do a lot of different recovery modules but i also do a lot of tracking of recovery so i can and i know my body inside out at this stage so i know when to pull back and no one to push forward and that's something that i've had to try and really work hard on pulling back at times but to be honest when i go into like a class where it's drilling for striking my focus goes my the energy isn't high enough when i do things myself or with my phenomenal striking coach steven murphy we are 90 miles an hour because that's what the fight is it's what's 100 miles an hour and it's about maintaining that focus if you look at me my stories you look at my stuff that i put up i rarely go at a pace where mistakes can be made it's at a pace that mimics a fight a lot and i'm trying to bring that technique to keep it as sharp as possible in that type of intensity and i think that's where it's a little bit different you know what i mean and um you know because i i have that 70 to 30 or i think i worked there was like 65 but anyway just say 70 30. because i'm at that kind of ratio yeah because i'm at that kind of a ratio i uh i do a lot more hours than than what a class would be or a session would be some of my training two and a half hours long per session you know what i mean um i enjoy i [ __ ] love it you said i train all the time i do because i look simple as that me hitting the bag is his therapy me hitting the bag is is really enjoyable if the kids are in school or the mrs has gone away with good friends i'm in the i'm in the home gym you visualizing [ __ ] knocking out some 135 from bellator and enjoy myself one thing i will say is you're actually fighting um the guy with the best nickname in bellator jordan i'm going owinski uh you can't actually nickname it love that nickname but uh what do you know about your opponent brian and what sort of holes do you see in his game he knows he's going to lose key look what i've done most respect from um for stepping up on on short notice but he's one of these guys who who fares well now sure knows he he's often winning as the underdog he's beaten a couple of good ufc vets so i'm well aware about what he is i've since last friday i got the phone call as i got walked in my hotel room i hadn't even the lights turned on and i got my all these notifications on my phone all i could see was scotland's covered fight off i was like [ __ ] me so then we were then we were um then i was asked to fight a guy he was 20 and five he was ranked number one in in japan number two in russia and i said yes let's do it and he pulled out the next day he must have seen my highlight reel or something i didn't want any of it that's it but then this this guy show has signed a contract he's passed his medicals everything is good and i do up most respect for him but like anybody i fight you know i've dissected his game and i've worked uh i know i know what is needed to beat him and i have more more than enough tools to put him away brian one thing i will say is this bantamweight division in bethlehem at the moment is absolutely stacked it is one of the best divisions battle tours ever had i actually looked at the top 10 in the rankings and their combined record is 172 wins and 28 losses how do you see yourself on your path the title because there's a bit of a log jam top and like where do you see your next sort of step after this fight i think the rankings um are are very very questionable to put the [ __ ] mildly um well yeah i think one to six one to seven is makes sense um but like you've got guys who are like you got uh caspell he's fighting too that that guy wouldn't last a minute with me i'm telling you straight up i would and i would murder him you know what i mean um and there's other guys in there too but that's just one example and the the panelists have got that one wrong there's other ones that they have wrong in there you know darren caldwell is number 10. how is darian not ahead of caspell and he's a former champion how is the guy who beat brett jones not ranked ahead of him you know what i mean of these guys so it doesn't really make sense uh but performance is what stick out with the bellator brass i know that i'm i'm this is my eighth fight with bellator you know and um i've gone i've been here all week i was off with my show money to just hang out uh because of the fight fellow and i said no i'm here to fight you know and when i put on this performance on this on this guy where a lot of people would have just took their money and and went home or ed peterson enjoyed california when i do that and i put on these performances i know i have been me that's what's going to get me title shots that's what's going to get me into the tub street hub for you you know what i mean right now i'm not really too concerned about what 14 journalists think about me you're right and again it it is a game of opinions and i always do think you put on set of performances and i was actually saying to barry i was like i was like bro more versus sergio perez brought more versus one arch letter i mean like that they are great matchups i'm like like you aren't out of your comfort zone and there you'd be more than happy to be in there with those guys so like uh i'm looking at it now you know get this win on the biggest uh card of the year the bellator's gonna put on like i was listening to josh thompson and john mccarthy and they were saying that pitbull versus agmt is one of the biggest fights in bellator history i'm saying it's probably one of the biggest fights of the year for mma so this is a massive chance for you to put a stake on your claim in that top ten i know it might be opinions but uh i think the american fans love seeing a number next to someone's name especially in ireland yeah and i look at don't get me wrong i know that the rankings uh they're important for for for fans are important you know more for marketing than anything else really yeah but like people are i think is it maybe the short attention span that people have but they just want to jump the rankings they want to jump to records they don't really delve deep you know you see some guys are getting like signed would say the ufc for instance and they're like ten and one or whatever the [ __ ] but you look at their last six fights and they've they're fighting guys with like losing records just to build it up and it it's you know people like i said their attention span is so short they want rankings they're not willing to look at you know the how people got there you know what i mean and look it is what it is performances don't lie um i'm gonna go i'm gonna knock this guy out nobody else is doing putting back-to-back knockouts in bellator or not they don't have the power that i have that that will open up way more eyes than rankings in my opinion and obviously brian we discussed this with kiefer i don't know if i saw it or not but uh you're fighting the forum inglewood california one of the most iconic fight venues in the world what does that mean to you as an irishman going into fighting that arena unbelievable um it means a so much as an irishman for sure but as a boxing fan you know if you if you looked at my youtube my my history uh my my viewing history is usually fights from like the 60s the 70s i love looking at like sugar ray robinson is my all-time favorite fighter you know what i mean i love looking at him but ali is fought in the forum twice the one of my all-time favorites triple g has fought in the forum so to fight literally you know in a place where these guys are my heroes not using the word lightly it's unbelievable you know i've stepped foot in the same arena that this guy did i'm a guy from county wexford where there is no mma gyms you know what i mean so to be able to do that and to work my way up to do to do so is a is a huge achievement in my mind and you know i'm very proud and then another thing is that obviously this void has being broadcast on virgin media how nice is that for you to say that when someone asks when where's your fight it's on virgin media or people used to call it tv3 like that must be so nice because i i remember watching bellator events in the past and like you put on california for the for the first hour then you put on the koi sports and then youtube and else the youtube pin yeah yeah so like how nice to be like i'll be fighting on virgin media and you just watch the fight yeah look at him um it's it's that's why we're making huge moves um and have been for an uh for a long time and i think i can't wait to see it unfold the more this pandemic [ __ ] off you know what i mean yeah um they're on shows it is amazing you know what i mean like going back to go back to my early days at the fighting there was no like uh toronto channels that were showing mma you know going back to you know even when i was uh on bigger shows it was like usually a pay-per-view link that was done was dodgy and [ __ ] like that but now it's just you know prime time viewing and uh i'm really proud of that too cheers [Music] and then brian obviously like this week it's been announced that like bellator has come back to dublin and then they're going to london as well i think the month before as well so like there's a lot of just like plenty potential matchups you have like again later on this year obviously we don't want to get you like overlooking your opponent this weekend but it's just like knowing that bellator's come back to europe or and sorry great britain it's something to look forward to isn't it well hugely and like i i've been asked this already a few times this morning who am i looking at next and i'm uh and i'm glad you said it i'm not looking at anybody i'm looking at saturday night i'm looking at i have blinkers on i would be foolish to put in all this work all this effort all the sacrifice all this dedication to go and look past what i've been working for so this saturday i'm gonna put on a performance like i've never put on before i'm more excited more prepared than ever before the ingredients are there for that performance and then then i'll assess what i'm going to do all this i'm going to spend with my girls because this is a back-to-back camp and we're going to do some cool [ __ ] to get our account weight but you know what we back nose to the grindstone um for september october and get that fight in november in the tree ring and because i've missed out too many trees in the nights with it with past injuries and i think the last time i fought was when i headlined it so you know i'll be on i'll be there for sure it's just the atmosphere there it's just i i don't even know how to describe it and like it's because we've been [ __ ] locked up for like over a year i feel like i'm on a like yeah what was that thing with them jim carrey oh truman show the true woman shows big brother like for the last year but like imagine going into true arena with that like it doesn't even seem real to be honest in fairness i was actually explaining to my missus there the other day uh about peter queen versus ryan scope um like i showed i showered the video where like roid scope comes out and like the whole crowd is still singing zombie like no one in the world will ever tell you what roid scopes walkout tune was uh for bellator during that time because no one heard it it was a geordie shore entrance music yeah exactly and like where that was video it was from press row so like we were like beside the speakers and you still can't hear it it's a you know what they say the owners are the best fans of the world and there's no doubt about it and the sooner we can get events back in ireland it's fantastic and sometimes i i do like you know my heart wants to see all the irish lads fighting ireland but like my head almost goes maybe if you're offered fight in london take the fight in london because who knows whether ireland's gonna go ahead with the carry-on of what we have at the moment well that happened this morning i've seen it was one of the first things i've seen and like just me being a pretty impatient fella i went up that's what i'm going to look for next i said no i'm actually going to take the gamble and wait it out for for to go on ireland like i love i love representing ireland so much you know i'm uh everybody knows that about me like i i wanted to be on the earliest prelims on saturday so the irish fans could stay up and watch it you know what i mean that's that's how much i'd prefer the irish to see it then then you know to have a bigger slot on the card and so if i can i'll take that i'll roll that dice where i do think london will happen but i don't know if dublin can we just sort of look at the fight week now brian like what what's up what are we what are you sort of looking looking at now like um i know kiefer's fighting as well on the card shadow keeper and like john's there which is well who like what are we sort of looking at for you team wise in the build up to saturday i think we're uh back to back fighting um i think i'm number two and he's number three but that's who actually knows that because like um but i do want to stay early on the character because i want like my i want my irish fans my wife's for following to be able to see it you know what i mean um i'm sure they'll stay up but i'd rather be more comfortable with things um but i'll be asking for that maybe they'll separate us and give us a fight so john can you know uh adequately coroner and you know not be rushed that way that they often do that but we'll see you know but right now we've got a good crew guys i've got jason uh currents from from county wexford he's living in dubai he's a 1-0 pro very good friend of mine he's over here with me i've got tristan kennedy my nutritionist key for james john there's a nice crew over here what about uh what about justin bieber was he hanging out with you the other day no i didn't see justin i must have dropped my text or something that was from the most random and funniest picture i've ever seen him and conor mcgregor sitting on that tech chair i was like that is just bizarre but like that's that's 2021 the world we live in yeah yeah even even though i wouldn't like conor mcgregor just to be brought in life then she'll say it after so like who knows maybe you can get a picture of where else next and i'll take the photo so brian like um oh like we're gonna wrap things up because it's obviously it's like you're obviously focused yeah we don't like as many justin bieber jokes or gonna lose key jokes you want to throw in just that's for the fan of the the broy moore fan army you know i mean but we want to take it seriously because uh this is a big week for you and like we're going to be plugging you all week so make sure like to follow brian and like watch him win on saturday and fly the flag but uh brian is there anyone you want to give a shout out to um in the build up to the on saturday and bellator 263 which you can watch on virgin and i think you can actually watch it on youtube as well yeah man i've got a [ __ ] long list of people i want to thank my coaches and team obviously because they're over with me now i want to thank my management uh wanting it i want to thank uh the sponsors especially those who come on board there as well wexford-based lmr car sales um fairy carrick uh construction i've got a lmr uh i'm sorry uh k-fit meals who've looked after my camp meals they've been unbelievable that way um mcgregor fast hemp innovations just the list kind of goes on there sorry for missing the kids that's the that's the last thing i wanted to say then those uh team more it's not just brian morgan there's the team more and i think that's my beautiful fantastic amazing boyfriend and two excellent or two like unbelievable kids so you know i met it's teamwork that i represent and that's the four of us not just me um so yeah the the best the last man you're pulling up my heartstrings here man jesus christ uh i i love that i i can actually see the passion and i can see the belief that you have in yourself and i'm definitely looking forward to watching your voice saturday night i'm not taking this when i say this the the fight i i don't like when guys go training is a training's hard fighting is easy fighting is hard but being away from those three people is is super hard for me like i may be too obsessed i don't know what i just [ __ ] that's that's what has me you know on on a level 10 here ready to fight ready to kill uh has been away from them so i'm ready there you have a puzzle man i feel like what's called their my misses and my kid are gone down the county for two or three days uh with her family and like it's sort of weird like she was like you're probably gonna enjoy the pizza boy and i'm like no it's actually like weirdly lonely so i like definitely i can definitely feel that voice but uh look there's me getting sentimental too but at the end of the day as kiefer said the other day you don't bring your family to war you have to go over and have the war yourself and then go go back home with them safe and in one piece with a w and uh with a nice check in the pocket so and that's the way that's the way i see it and guys if you have watched this video make sure to like share
