Energized Show pre-fight interview with Irish flyweight Jared Harris ahead of Cage Fight Series 12 in Austria on 29 October 2022, live on UFC Fight Pass. Harris discusses returning after roughly ten months out with arm injuries that required MRIs but not surgery, and the frustration of pulling out of a previously booked Cage Conflict bout. He talks about his open four-fight Cage Fight Series contract, goal of reaching the UFC, and interest in opportunities on other European shows including FCR Sweden, which he says has already contacted him. He reflects on his amateur run (about eight wins with about six finishes), pro debut win over Kieran Holland, and improved comfort in the cage through fight simulators and a feet-first game plan. His father recently completed an Outward Bound-style program, which brought them closer and helped his dad understand fight camp. Harris expects corner support from his dad, manager Paul, and family and sponsors in Austria, says he is training heavily including Monday sessions at Rhino, and aims for a finish rather than a decision.

[Music] I show up the Irish okay what's going on guys and welcome to a brand new episode of energize Ross introduce the man today we have the only theater Floyd sensation it is Jer the GTA selector Harris Jared how you doing bud oh good lads uh yeah absolutely yeah big fight coming up uh in Austria on UFC fight past cage fight series how excited to get back in there or composer it's playing this is the bread and boy you know um just like show you to get back in there and played and had a few little injuries and I was out for about 10 months like I'm still training when I called but I was flying crazy I always had to go get mri's and stuff don't look easy enough I didn't need any surgery or anything so just happy to be back on the ball flat out train and yeah just ready to put the walk in and put the walk on somewhere uh yeah I believe you were booked already warned for kh5 series I don't know another show uh I think it was cage Conflict at the time um how much did it really play on your mind when you had to pull out those points because you're not someone who likes to do that yeah no million percent to be honest my head was falling off about what I was even I was speaking to air Court I caught that only one there on Kate conflict there himself the air the weekend before I was I did like I went for the like caught ass like me break blood I went for a bit of lunch with him uh one in the morning then I was just like I don't know what they're always looking to barely left me ham was like a holding on the hook for more than a couple of seconds and it's yeah I'm his dad for a good five ten minutes so um yeah he was just saying like your health is your wealth and your body is your business at this stage so called as being around the block voice over like so I just like I was obviously listening to own and stuff as well but we didn't so I know I hadn't had the mro yet or just knew how bad my arm was about hell felt and stuff and then I just made the decision between like on myself and and like after a little bit to the Voice who it got off each and that each of the lads like yeah that was that was probably from holding the cage conflict belt too long Jay sure look uh who knows like cage fight series might want to exclusively after uh erect things up on the 29th of October like I'm looking for the fourth round finish yeah the news that Justin announced today you're taking on tournamentsy who is one-on-one Jerry when you're given this name like like but what did you like how did this like fire come across to be honest it was always looking forward to at the for the other kid from all stairs I can't really pronounce the name of my monster master um but yeah no because it would have been a good fight between me and him like like really good we get a good skill set and stuff and I would have wanted to go out and poured him away anyway you know what I mean but like [ __ ] like it's more for what other people are looking at and what like he's another good like he's a good lad and he's meant to be their top boy and like Gwen and Blitz that fella you know what I mean it just puts me on a big ass hand and then there was yeah so that obviously foreign yeah or else we were just saying beforehand uh seeing Jared with a star training like no wonder people are pulling now yeah absolutely yeah yeah look you're an animal you know what I mean like your mom have many nicknames you know what I mean like the bunny Moon Superman the GTA selector the the shaved ape like I mean these are not nicknames the people are like I can't wait to fight that guy you know um well Able by some of the foreign absolutely and your dad actually recently bottom train out as well didn't he yeah he just on the other program the uh like at the start of the year and how proud were you to see your dad do that like because obviously your dad must be I'm gonna assume in around 50 and like now he's now he's doing that like that's pretty cool now he's 40 trade but it's more just there you don't like Jesus I apologize Mr Harris don't hit me with those body shots yeah he was always involved with me trying and then like in terms of any sports I've ever done or anything I wanted a day off I wanted to go do do dancing or deal anything if I wanted they want me down and he got like never forced me at that and I'll just give us this full support but especially with the fight and they had done like a little few colors and he was always into the boxing when he was the onslaught himself like watching it and stuff so um but he was always involved in the um before he camps like I always like if you look down during the Instagram there's probably 10 videos of 10 at least 10 posts which just me and him doing bits together um yeah he's always being involved but it was just great because like like that made me to have very very similar so it's like a lot of the time like that spiritual arguments than [ __ ] anything you know and you probably now use ourselves like um anybody else out there for um yeah like after a while it's like it was like oisy injured I'd have little niggles here and there and he'd be like why aren't you going up to the gym and he like he'd be thinking I'm dropping off and I'm actually just taught that I think when he turned the outer program Paul was like he saw it like you know he understood a lot more about like how hard the train and actually is and the walk going for an end like in Fair Play to them Lads that like some of the boys who do that and like even with that like he done some like the MMA fits to get ready for the fitness voice where it's like most people who are doing that out of the program are getting off the couch I probably haven't done that and then the last boy of 10 years probably more now I mean and uh getting in and trying to employ like one today four days a week and where like he's saying how taxing that is on the body and for me who's training three four twins a day minimum no I mean so it just yeah my tail was like it brought till was closer together and then like he always he always knew I knew what he was talking about when I was coaching and stuff because they'll be like showing him little things to hold on the pads for me look at man Ruddy rodrigan stuff on the pads or come home and made me die would drill that together and like show them how to hold the pads properly for her and held the call and went to be calling it and stuff like that so yeah just I think it made the whole problem and him doing that and just got us really close because like the little bridge is like the actual train at heart when you have to get to a free and the way courts and stuff like that and I think once you got to understand that I just made everything in the house like a million times easier like it was easy anyway because they support me a million percent for adjusting times and like sometimes it probably was like injured or there was little things going on and the guy from we were arguing you know like that yeah and was there any chance of getting your dial on this cage 4 Series card as well now yeah probably yeah no that that's really nice to hear and it's good that like your dad has somewhat of an understand of what it's like to be in a fight camp and then you know get that get those nerves and get in there and actually do it you know what I mean so uh that's not something a lot of people's parents would actually do for the for them I know obviously just part of a deal for himself but to do it do it for you and to live through what your experience is mustn't have been easy for him so fair play to him yeah he's the blade he's the bounce me out myself the cat's pajamas all that more in a bag of chips you know that and just in terms of training you need to bleeding War course anyway so it wouldn't matter what you'd like to put in front of method of the challenge and how it uh it lasts so when you think we need to sewing up for that Irish fear fans right back yeah who knows maybe maybe we'll run a show Bars and we we picked three families against each other uh we Ireland's Fitness their May Farm yeah the 45s probably matches our look yeah what's called the the interview Roble in Roy Higgins put getting them to put or put a ring on it to get me in there typical yeah don't be giving people ideas here for free man this is this is live in UC flow pass yeah true true maybe we'll end up on voipas it could be it could be our new show that we host uh Jared tell us this um obviously we were at one of the local auto shows with yourself I think it was cage Legacy 17 where Shawna Bannon and made a pro debut and we actually watched cage for his series when Andreas Bender knocked out Ross from akpan when you actually saw saw that before it happened and you know you were supposed to be on one of the opening cards and you saw how professional it was how excited that make you for the show uh yeah supposed to be honest though like it could be posing for the Army fights there's like like I said before it's like it's great the 40 on this like the more tomorrow if we eat the more professional shows the more professional the showers get and stuff like even in terms of amateur like when even when you go to compete not the only Master it's a completely different uh level to um like the regional saying and stuff um yeah but like obviously it wasn't the point on cage but it doesn't matter what full year it is it's where it is it could be annual blade and Nanny's bad you know I don't give a [ __ ] whoever wants to have it and they can have her anywhere you know what I mean and a boy to make and just all the better models are gonna yeah true it definitely is of course I was gonna I was gonna say like uh before we actually signed with the with UC foil pass we were doing a want to watch series and Jerry was actually the very first person we had on the series it's amazing that things come full circle now we're all all in UC foil pass right now for the people tuning in you have to make sure you watch Jared Harris compete on the 29th of October on cage 4 Series 12. it is not one to be missed live in UC Focus yeah well like to me Jr is the number one uh fly away in Ireland I think uh I think that's 100 True at the moment I think he's he's the man certainly have and they're not willing to go out there and play over here yeah so look you know where he's at if uh if you want that knock if you want that smoke so uh he he he's the man to beat her Floyd um he's looking to go out made that name on the European scene uh Jer tell us this like what what sort of way are you looking towards the future are you looking to dominate Europe and then make your way to the UFC or are you willing to fight anywhere at any time like do you have a contract with kh5 series there's just a one boy deal uh yeah so it's a 40 contract but it's an open contract Telecom for you from for the promotions and stuff as well um but I'm looking to take the Toyland page 40 series and have everybody in your up have to come and take that off technology and I'm like whatever the four it's at I'm gone whatever's going to get me closer to like the main goal is the UFC you know what I mean so whatever drags me closer to that whether it's for you anyway it doesn't matter and that's the great thing about UFC fights at the moment there's so many European shows on there at the moment there's fcr and Sweden it's cage fight series there's cage warriors uh there's Aries over in France like there's plenty of opportunities for you to get on those cards in an open contract to fight on these shows uh that Swedish one you just said I'm pretty sure they have contacted me already and I've put them on the pile so like that could be another place you could be seeing me up and running um yeah under some whatever the 43rd will go now remain oil and and not and no sense of the world was I ever just a regional for you looking World paint and sends me how much I care so that's just going to continue here now as well you know what I mean um like on a politicus kid on 29th and see what happens I think it could be foreign hopefully another one after that that's an absolute exclusive here exclusively on UC fully pass on the energy show obviously yeah that RFC shovel looks good on there it's good to they're actually bringing employers from the UK on the pro card so maybe it is possible that you get some from the UK If no nylon wants Hot Smoke yeah a million percent like you're saying the couple of lads they contacted like in the air Jamie Kelly um and a couple of other boys um yeah anybody anybody can have it it's like another day is walk for me you know what I mean not even a day's walk 15 minutes and most of them aren't even gonna get over there that's what we love to see Jam we love to see the tenacity you have uh athroid weight I think it's absolutely brilliant and tell us this um what what type of Jr Harris you're going to see what are the things you've been working on my own running in the build this fight same as every Camp really to be honest just always walk and I'm better in the game plan like um like I'm just trying to evolve everywhere every every Camp there's no Camp that's specific to like get up like I always kind of walk MMA and stuff like that but just in terms of like just building on the game plan like I found found that Emmy amateur career I was going out and just finishing points like at will now I mean like I had ever was annoying or eight eight wins I think I had six finishes you know what I mean like when I say in the Finish we talk and I think wants or like I had a little bit of a uh there was a little bit of a stint in between that Matthew frail for you and I remember being in that we and not being as comfortable as I was and other ones like I didn't get to get me stroking down and things like that but still obviously warmed the majority of the grappling exchange and nearly finished them in the post but then like there was a big difference in me Camp uh coming up to Carolina Holland then because just in terms of the fight simulators obviously on the bodies of his mailing their own way and then like they like said like Andreas and stuff and the gym just being a little bit more professional because there was a few more professional bodies we had Lads coming up to the gym and stuff like that and I was able to develop all rounds but I thought but and we thought simulators are really focused on staying on the feet and obviously in a food simulator you're not trying to kill your teammate no the shots are a little bit harder but they're not trying to take their head clean off you know um and I think installing me game plan and then food simulators led to like the performance I had on cage conflict like it was completely comfortable in every exchange they cared on was meant to be known for finishing people like get taken that back and finishing the boys walking around with the dummy bike like a skill By ignoring me just hold me down like if there wasn't a hope he was getting that back up yeah [ __ ] free transport for the focus because foreign and then it's only going to get better from now because I'm just walking on all them till it's consistently um yeah what else was I gonna say there well just let's jump in there that that foot against caramel Holland like Karen like has fought numerous times a cage where some big events and then you come in making your debut against Kiran like that was everyone talking notice of that you're obviously on the show as well doing the face off here to be looking for it but then getting the win there that put everyone in those for us yeah absolutely I think that's what cemented Jazz number one Fly Away in the country I think uh caramel Holland was uh over in the UK picking up wins and like he was getting these sort of come come from behind some Mission wins and like he was never out of the fight and that's the thing like uh when Jerry was fighting him he had to fight him right the way to the end the bear like he's he's alive dog in those fights and uh Jared got his hand raised and he he's the champ there so I think that's what makes uh Jared so so interesting uh also you've got that character on top uh people people love to hear from you know I mean like you're not afraid of a bit of chat so uh look not many Floyds have that all those characteristics and you definitely have one and that's what makes Jerry Harris want to watch bars one more time go away circling that back around yeah like you're obviously very busy training a lot of people on there keeping your dad off your back but uh can you tell us who's going to be going over to Austria Witcher for the fight on October 29th and like on himself will be down on me corner and Paul as well me manager Paul um and then I think a family and friends like me Tommy mom girlfriend um one of the main sponsors Vinnie and uh his wife I got on the air coming over with us as well and then I I'm pretty sure that could be a one or two more lads coming with us or uh yeah I think that that's it so far that's what I know of you have booked Floyd's books and stuff can't wait till I have a bit more of a like a pull towards for each I can't wait till I have like people traveling for me for eating stuff like that and I mean and I hope it's sharing my ride and like I know what I mean I don't want people just to be waiting till I'm in the UFC to be following me to fight it follow me from the start that's where the support is shown you know yeah remember where the a wounds were you know yeah Harris Army on tour is right you better believe it uh Jared is there any uh anything that already searching to build this for you how has he uh been careful to curb a train I know he said earlier we're trying three or four times a day but like you you've picked up one or two injuries over the last year so as you've been trying to curb that uh that bit of training here you're 100 on the night um no not really just in terms it's like like any gym would say no like like I've been down in Rhino on Mondays as well getting some positionally in with the lads down there and where it's like even in our own like mainly in our own gym like destroy cameras I like your game of chess and airjam Melody man there's so many lads who are like brilliant on the fee and like me and I don't have been doing some training to get a solo as well and bloody putting the page on me if radish like if let me get familiar to deal with situations where Roddy's putting the page on me I'm pretty sure it can deal with anybody know what I mean I'm pretty and now we can deal with anybody anyway but like he's going to follow the solid five minutes you just need to get him on the map he's like he's still going up there and putting shots on me or putting the pressure on and grappling exchanges because there's no give up and I'm not what I mean he's just he's a dog and they are gonna be just pure heart like yeah the doctor is nowhere and they don't foreign yeah just in terms if they want like adding anything extra just to stay on the same things like just consistently walking on like all the basics always walking the basics I always walk in positional drills starting in bad positions and then in the 40 simulators walking on game plants like like walking the game plan like my games plan hasn't changed since I'm an amateur and like I think this is where I was trying to get a with the last couple of things I was saying it's like it's easy for me to Port all these things together now because I am so comfortable in the cage and it's when I like so I used to be happy just to submit people up me back up like where now I won't accept that on getting up the Butcher on the field regardless and if the submission comes on taken I mean they'll go in here to finish for each other like like I said before decision wins are great like it's great to get the win but it's not like a finish you you better believe it and that's why you can't miss chair on cage fight series over in Austria it will be live on UFC fight parcel make sure to check that out and pass on anything left to say yeah Jared it's great to have you on again yeah I don't know if you can hear the dog in the background that's my bad but um if Jerry Harris is going to be on and then later on that Night Katy Taylor is going to be on that night as well so it's going to be a flowing of Irish Flag noise yeah you better believe you can watch in the warm-up to a Katie Taylor fight that that sounds like a dream dream even to me like it's not gonna lie uh Jared thanks a million for coming on and look forward to watching info the GTA
