AI summary AI-generated from the transcript
Barry and Ross open the first Energized Show of 2020 with their "2020 vision": longer podcast and YouTube formats, Spotify and iTunes distribution, daily Instagram camera presence, sponsorship goals, and a busy January–February calendar built around combat sports. They discuss staying relevant as independent creators against bigger media companies, then turn to MMA. They preview UFC 246 on 18 January at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas — Conor McGregor versus Donald Cerrone at 170 pounds — debating weight class, McGregor's training and physique, Cerrone's résumé and recent losses, and whether McGregor wins and who he fights next (Justin Gaethge and UFC 249 in Brooklyn on 18 April are floated). They cover Bellator Dublin on 22 February (James Gallagher, Aaron Chalmers, Ryan Scope, Peter Queally versus Brent Primus, Michael Venom Page, Paul Daley, Ben Askren, Stephen Thompson), say they applied for Bellator media credentials and may run ticket giveaways, and plan to attend Cage Con on 29 February to meet fighters including Thompson, Daley, Askren, and Gallagher. The episode also touches rugby Six Nations captaincy but the MMA block is the core sports content.

Happy New Year guys new energized show first one of the new year Barry how're you feeling laughs we're back it's a big year for ourselves it is a big year for ourselves there's absolutely loads going on and started this year load van enjoys content metals and I'm actually looking forward to you yeah like we've been getting ready for the last world and whenever fish be on Spotify we are indeed so if you are on Spotify make sure to follow the lads like you do on the ground yeah then I think we finally sorted out the situation with the YouTube with the camera with everything thanks to Jay yeah times J or vikon what a legend yes so we're finally back and if you are new to the show make sure to subscribe as well because they're this big big things coming and we were several thought that we would actually go over a 2020 vision for the next couple of months because big things are coming up and we're probably actually really excited and I'm I'm actually really excited like somewhat nervous because I'm like right I think this is like the year we actually get things done yeah well you know 2020 fingers fresh chart and or didn't realize how many people him and how many people were dedicated to the last decade I've never heard the word decade to use so much in the last few weeks so that it there was like it was almost like it ever got to do all the sports people got stupid like two poles it was like team of the season and team of the decade and then it was like fight at the sea or fight of the year and fight of the decade and it was like best fighter of the year my best for the decade also cheese I was like I didn't realize everything had to be so like numerical after 10 years like right we have to review the last ten years your life yeah it was mad wasn't yeah there's a lot of content to make was a lot a lot of content great for people like do UFC who can go they actually went like year by year and did like video on what happened each year which I actually thought was really really cool and but there was there was a lot of things and there was a lot of I don't know if you saw him did you see anything like the Premier League teams a decade yeah but I saw a lot of people making them and then there was just so many different players in there and yeah it's it's almost impossible to judge something over the last 10 years yeah it's extremely extremely hard but it's also people putting like frank lampard knows like rhetoric stays in Thirteen's yeah yeah the last 10 years but yeah it's it's mud it's it's such a weird way like going it's 2020 it's like such where like it's almost like a reset button in a way do you see like that yeah I think fresh start for everyone I think you get the opportunity to sort of start afresh at startup I think every new year I think that's why people say you know new year new me and yeah but like a lot of people are just saying not to say it all as well like I don't know if people actually believe in this or they're like oh [ __ ] I need some content they would know quick don't think you oh yeah I think you have to start something somewhere if that makes sense I think the new year is probably always know he's trying to start something because you feel like you start with a blank canvas like a lot of people say the honest are come to the gym you know I mean yeah I'm like probably by the end January they've stopped counting but there are the few who do follow through with their new year's resolutions okay well I got oh really I really am a person that it's like right I'll have to turn the air I'm gonna change here yeah I mean like I like it you mean I'm one of them people that will I pull things off the last minute and then you're like right I have to do it now or else like it's not gonna happen although like with New Year's resolutions I think like a few years ago I was more like yeah on that stuff for like now it's or like it's not like a new year resolution you sorta have to like really focus here now and things are more important now especially as we get older and you know yeah well I think yes in our game which is sort of you know the podcast social media and script you have to be on the ball yes like with it you cannot be falling behind the times and you can't be a follower you have to be a content creator you can't just go do what everyone else tools I know and that's the thing is just me and you were on the show here and it's like it's hot like don't like poor me but like it's hard to like stay on top of things also I'm in a constant come up with new things like sometimes are not you're like ah [ __ ] - I have something sorted for the morn and all that stuff yeah especially sometimes you're competing against an actual company yeah like you're we're competing against like Sky Sports um you know Jody and all these companies that like millions pumped in bottom on me I mean millions like we're just too humble odds from the north side of Dolman doing our best yeah yeah I mean yeah I know it's funny that's that's what I'm like right it was sort of good like as the euros one downstairs 90 min sarfaraaz we were like we're like right we really need to sort out the content we want to do longer videos because the shorter videos we weren't really enjoying them as much and then certain people wouldn't really be interested in certain topics you know mean whereas the probably enjoy the longer form I like more so on Spotify make sure to subscribe and they're like on iTunes and then now we even work bringing in a long-form on YouTube and then we're gonna cut down some of the videos as well make them like a shorter ones as well on YouTube pour them now it's like like that break now we've now lost Cosby today he's like I've sorted out the Spotify a problem or like right grant surely what sort of take the boxes yeah yeah that was it's important but on every platform I actually downloaded tick tock they're due today and I was like right should I go on tick tock or not and I was like I think it's fully fifteen year old kids but like I sorta need to see the hype owner on each it would be like yeah was built because I saw a screenshot of like a 16 year old girls homeless it shot a screenshot an 18 year old girl phone and like it's like the 16 year old like law of tick-tock it's like they new social media app but like an 18 year old is likes it on Instagram and I barely I'm tick-tock yeah you see I think in our situation we're more looking to the older people who actually have the money to invest in us yeah rather than like 10 year olds to invest in their lunch money you know oh I know yeah like I just sort of looked at a chocolate everyone's on that or it seems to be like it's the new vine is the way I would describe it yeah it's like yeah short like 10 second videos yeah it's gonna be interesting - yeah cause I'm pretty sure that apps are boiling it easier yeah we're like somewhat Croaker's well I keep various the Detroit in government like tell you can you have so many kids yeah I mean yeah yeah they're not like that doesn't sound cruel yeah yeah you know and I'm like wow hair look parents like the sound like the orange government isn't corrupt neither force nor chapel's probably corrupt as well although the journey is not the only place where like you can haggle them you know you can really walk into like brown Thomas and be like nah it was the bag for it thousand four hundred get out when your high prices yeah it's like I'll give you the price give me the price for a tree one for a formal yeah please I'm free and free prawn crackers boom ya know I'm just like really looking forward to this year like or last one myself across have really like things have changed now we're like really like reenergize to get going again like like we're like right few teens for the next while and like losses now kill network I'm like they've still freelance and I'm like I'm trying to get something sorted out full-time because it's like it's like it's a weird situation because I'm doing freelance working out at the moment in the radio so I'm sort of like like I'm so close to being indeed like officially in the industry but like if I got a full-time job somewhere else Avery was something like banking or admin somewhere else I feel like I'm taking that step back from where I want to go eventually you know it's like a really really like 12 situation do it but like I need more money so it's like I thought oh what the right call is pull like Bonnie talks you know oh maybe we should like sit down together and have a look at your LinkedIn or something and just like see if there's like more of a creative role you can go for you I mean yeah but we're even looking at prices and hasn't done these days it's just so crazy yeah but like they got the I thought oh hello I'm gonna like afford to not live in the penthouse about him only we'll figure it out we'll figure it out yeah it's I'm sure everyone else is on the same boat boom yeah that's why I like down I'm just read dedicated to getting this word out and then sworn out no reversal oh I think I talked to 2019 and there was like a whole lot of negativity towards 2019 there was like the FAA were corrupt and yeah like like your mom Prince Andre was paid of all of those like more homeless people in Arlen ever the more people on sick beds in hospitals than ever yeah and I was like orti we're gonna bankrupt was like surely 2020 can't be as bad as 2019 so like New Year New Ireland yummy yeah like the way to slay clean or like all short think so and it's not gonna get better if everyone sitting there thinking about it pessimistically you know I mean I think you have to have a positive outlook to actually make a change yeah oh yeah oh no it's it things have just gone through a really strange tornado in the whole country or even the world like they're sort of like they take like low boils come back next week and paper like Jonah for Creon on LaVon all I could sort things out it's just such a like it's like you're living in a dream world not to over important like if I win the lotto everything would be grand it's like yeah I can look at that you know or pay low every week yeah yeah I actually never play it never play lesson only euromillions cause like you I come here asking for minimally oh I actually have to work dumpling cause like that's actually not know if it's positive with your openings like ah yeah that's was born but I the price is not going up as well so they are at the end of the day like that's just where we Dave and you mean yeah we can't really affect that maybe paddy Hulan will change all that yeah hopefully pile material there yeah yeah paddy hill room for for tea shock him for tea so yeah why not well I got a brought out like I mean who else you gonna vote for not Lee over I cry anyway I don't worry boy you know he went sleek swimmin on Christmas Day and that was a head loin and what the papers I was like always him gone swimmingly the headline I don't know maybe they were maybe he was like looking goiters he wasn't oh sorry I'm so cold I still have a call from the Christmas stuff uh a Christmas Carol Ross it was obsolete eels first Christmas yeah it was actually really water dressing for little Santa super one of the days that was poised yeah then on Christmas day he's wearing sort of a peaky blinders over her sari and I was well dressed see ya go time and didn't give out he's actually getting so big now he's what six month old yesterday and he has a teeth already so like I mean you wrote the first chapters autobiography as well so he's doing all right he's he'll hurry that's good the area yeah apparently terrible asleep not terrible terrible asleep yeah like he is its see like you woman there you have them sleep in your arms and you put down his bed in the new wakes up straight away he's like as soon as he twisted bad he's like Ryback wake and then sometimes just sleep them in your arms and the next thing you know you'll be asleep and all you see is you just are like was Hannah your favorite way cool thanks very much wake up yeah well change we're not I wouldn't change it for anything yeah ormally evil yeah that's funny is no yeah it is it's like it's free to have someone's like so dependent on he hasn't they can't do in no way yeah but I know yeah it's weird cause like as he gets older like each week like he develops more and like pick was on bottle now and that's where things are like next thing you know we drove around out for a few points Oh God is there anything like your plan I'm doing for this year 2020 I feel like it's socially got like a chronic year something about there is there is a fear of fresh start too yeah but like it even looks fresher like I was writing the date and I was like 20 2008 Jesus yeah I mean yes martyrs no yeah it although you know what was actually didn't say yeah fee very careful when you're signing contracts is here cuz you can draw it like 18th 920 cuz some could write something off that now I thought my sense okay so after Roy 2020 okay it's actually quite important so if you are signing the contracts make sure your Roy 2020 AMA and also um all could you handle back this here in jail you're more about joined by if you want yeah people don't know what Helen back is don't explain it and I think it's like a 13 kilometer room but also like you go like you sort of climb up all over so feel like you jump in the water you're in a bog land and I thinking they're like electrocuted at some point look probably do a for charity at some time to think I just don't know what Charlie o2o4 and also or turned Hershey this year so like my goal for this year and like actually really will stick to it I know well is I want to be fair at Hershey then I was a twenty so I think like that's quite feasible what were your self by any goals I thought I had the back nail just voyage to be fit around your birthday than your normal joking I was like I was just in their nose it's like here I need to sort my [ __ ] life help but I'm sure like I do that every [ __ ] year boy that I don't like I like I do feel it really feel like this is like all the hard work we've done over last year's this is the year where it's gonna transition I think actually vague remember you said last year we'll be on TV for doing this last year but like the orti good tune of the Bulge and supposing yeah born their pain rolling toward is too much no I just I just believe that hard work and perseverance and dedication it's good it has to work or else like once the boy put us on this year because they they can get us home for free taking any sign for free no that's the thing they're not gonna be able to get us on for free cuz after we do end up doing for econ and stuff and I think I'd pay for yeah like yeah I'm do I have to pay it was bleeding Roy what do you want no they don't know but like this is gonna be I think this is actually literally the year where things are all gonna work out well I think you realize how bro course he were when I was watch The Late Late Show and this kid was on they were like and here's your brandy and I was like well I was like I'm like here's the edge here yeah yeah yeah pull that yeah look I'm excited for this year all I think there's really big things come on I think Jack should believe that oh yeah yeah I already do I think our years like action-packed well the first heard is anyway we have obviously con bryophytes come up then we have [ __ ] Six Nations battle totem I just think like that little section January and February really really busy rereading soil for sure look I really do feel like the world this year and one thing I think or like for us is maybe if we did a bit more and talking to the camera on Instagram this here I think that needs to be more daily and just for people to like feel like they're staying in contact with us as people as well as just the content I guess I don't wear mine for the own Apple like to be honest that's not really my forte you know I mean I'm more the person like coming up with stuff to put on rather than being like all right see you later yeah I mean maybe I know you see if you question the answers but I think maybe might do one them again every so often but like I think I only answer like four questions because you don't want to be that person who's just like clogging up the newsfeed yeah that's what I feel like there is a lot of clogging up the newsfeed but all people but I feel like so most people like watching queue nays I got you yeah yeah they were they yeah they like didn't put the face to the image no I mean yeah definitely yeah yeah it's more like if you just pull up stewpot like nonsense then you're almost better off you're losing credibility rather than actually gaining loyalty absolutely is I put up a picture of a pancake with H like pancakes yes or no it's like yeah everyone likes pancakes yeah but mate maybe last year was more like I feel like 2020 is gonna be the year people like creators actually yeah get an extra step in the game of like people we could like more people marketing gonna be like right gonna go to these lads more than going to radio stuff like that I think that's really really happen this year people have less money now something like right why why wouldn't I put it onto some Instagram story where you can actually physically see how many people wash their rather than like a radio station where people might be tuning into some random radio station or maybe yeah who knows it could be another year of the social medium sir well like even there we're really only hitting her strident but like I know it's let's practice called a day one but I mean we're only really hitting us right now I feel like knowing exactly like now around Spotify now we're on iTunes know exactly what's going on now we know exactly we want to put it like an arrow long podcast and then like put up a bit as well and pull out certain segments and people just want to know what the Ruby or the MMA or the football now we're sort of like right this is what we're gonna do you know whereas I think like lows like we also got on Instagram ahead of people as well so therefore our following went up whereas if you look at people now they're cause you just post and random [ __ ] because they don't know how to really use it and they're like will it be the coffee girl or will it be the pancake guy or will it be only miss the bus again dude young people are trying to form their creative spark yeah although it is quite funny how like the most random think and like such as Fame yeah I was looking at them catch me outside how about that and because you know the box ragin browner yeah he was like slowing into her DMS and she's only like 16 or 18 it was like wow because I think it was on my Saints on Facebook and I was like you kneel at like Panera better but when I clicked in theory I was like chill out tattoos off like I was like if you actually don't know who she is you wouldn't have a clear what age you know I mean yeah so I was like fairly bad for him but like he probably actually knew what age was because he is famous that make sense if she wasn't famous you couldn't be like yeah how would you not know I was 16 so yeah well like I don't only 16 girls were like 7:30 was like laughs I think she also was like 20 million followers and Instagram so you were tired like who do your research board yeah who's the dude his mate Davonte Davis he's been like who's this no she doesn't watch a lot of them nor evil [Music] typical bars kept the show wrong for me not no more daytime yeah but like my yodeling keeping a famous yeah it's really gold scale little generous after making a viral video yeah yeah I just feel like this year is just gonna it's gonna be big year for creatives I think we lost like we do a bit of a step ahead and order people cause like we also are sort of creative yeah but like that courses in social media and radio presenting and like serious question for the ones who would rather me yodelling kid or backpack get oh yeah I probably yo link it because if you cool if we dressed up as Cowboys as well yodeling rather than like doing the floss I think the floss is could be left back in second you know yeah boy oh no I all sorted the backpack it'd look I'd like to meet him I don't worry about his long I was like hell on earth I was open stretch stretch our I'm from Ross we actually met loads of famous people there in the last decade didn't even think of this board am is the only one you think we might end up walking into this year or yeah this year I will go this year well suppose we're gonna be Stephen wonderboy Thompson banished from this year like guaranteed as well as Paul Daley I think that's a cool way start off and yeah oh yeah think you never know who we're gonna be and really see this decade people who are low to me I looked properly me Dana White I think that would be killed and I would like to me I like to be Conor McGregor and talk to him for more than like 30 seconds if that makes sense yeah but I would him being like yeah again only talks John happening for about 40 minutes Valley I mean I can that be killed I think it's very feasible to do so in terms of all the paper light stamp or what my meeting words here lads off their football team and have an actual chat with them like a normal person I think that's something that we do well compared to some of the people although people when they meet a famous person like beautiful hair by yeoman you're supposed to were like all the story here we get Nam yeah you find that yeah I mean I think it's cuz we've like you met so many famous people that like so much around number was unfair City wouldn't we blow us away you know yeah I think so also knows if that sounds like a briar in but like a good did Tony isn't Lee I don't you feel like we got to start or poison either but you don't I mean like certain people I'm like what the [ __ ] like really keen I was like I was like please don't hate me I think I think what about what about Bruce Wolf I was like it was like pass gas I actually found that I'm more entertaining anything but he when he introduced me on stage at that time New York when they were getting to give me all my detail all my details or I didn't really know is that he what part was for you know I mean yeah cuz this woman just started asking all these questions and I was like and she did when I was saying to her she was like Channel all right so like obviously like brilliantly like we're off to begin of the year with a few paintings from hope I think last year was like it was very very slow and we were like I think we're speculating where McGregor was coming back from like months and it was just like actually I'm boring and like discussing matter and pomp I would leave you not all I [ __ ] was I should just get prepared with a boring board am like there is certain things going over there gonna be like like it's gonna keep us on our toes as well because they're like if we don't really have something big coming up in the week like we're almost like they grow like we're less energy on us to actually do the shower like almost combing up which it bore them did like I do I do believe like big things are gonna happen this like not not like win the lotto big things but like like things that really put us on the staff to maybe even put in the step is step a step like I think to this year I think this is this like a fort here maybe yeah I think so yeah is it I think was like October 2000 what's not October 2015 maybe we do not know maybe we were moving into our fifth year I don't know I think we did the course in October 2015 but the way I look at it is watch out on 178 years something something oh we're like I know we did a fused where we did two or three in the one week but like on average to say we're about four years it yeah yeah it's crazy it is crazy but that's how it goes for them what's the sort of like to show this show who is obviously called at the energized 2020 vision Russ what like after all that one will do movie Vince Coulson and if you are new to the show make sure to LIKE subscribe and stay energized but Russ what what is they energized 2020 vision before we start like going into the world of sport and everything you know because they can look I think we have to do we do have to take it sort of each month there are two months out of time it sounds like football urban like what's your goal for season take each game at a time and try we do it for like you have said yeah you do have to take it sort of slow off he is important to having sort of long-term goals and long-term visions and local I think you'd be great if we have one or two sponsors of the show by the end year Dhabi massive goal of ours I think a great opportunity for home to meet some new sponsors exactly if people are listening looking responsive what exactly would they need to give us or help us with you know I don't think we actually really need that much you know I got a new sky like we got a new standard for the camera yeah no I don't think it's more so I think they give us money and we could promote their products human I think that's probably the best way about us we have connected audience and we've guaranteed audience we have crepe we're on like so many different platforms and we've great following on Instagram and quite loyal following on Instagram as well yeah and also we're like if we were working with a brown we don't you like constant giveaways of their products as well yeah we move doing the computations by the way yeah I think that's my favorite dance to it yeah I don't think last you I think we did at the end we gave it yeah but like route here we didn't really give away anything but we weren't offered that situation yes or do you also feel that we do a lot more giveaways that people way more followers as well because it's something that we'd offer to do yeah I do fun enjoyable yeah like you've been like oh who's gonna win and then you pick a winner yeoman yeah how do you find a very entertaining see that her own benefit I like the foot problems because like it's out of our control yo mean yeah it's almost like it's a bit like a lot I was not it is like a lot of you but only nice numbers yeah exactly so it's interesting to do them oh look waiting we're very open to listen to offerings we're willing to do so from trial basis as well and there's we always have a lot of fun so if there is like FOIA Browns out there who are looking to sponsor so I think that'd be a great opportunity for them I think I think you were there for the take and if you don't mean someone so yeah but something to offer us a good deal yeah I mean yeah yeah what's your take like I think we could like it - like it'd be it wouldn't even be for my pocket well like I be into Tio's back nappy pocket would be like like investment more like more like sort of equipment better yeah yeah I think we put more production to the show you know I mean yeah that'd be more so my Eagle and I don't know really see or know if we could get someone from maybe like college student or something not to work on our sound of video audio or our sound on our video and just like sort of maybe even go ahead us on a few things I think that'd be kill ya and maybe that's something we could rope up into in the new year like what about guess was here maybe if we had like a like a P or person or so my doctor like almost arrange interviews that people are really interested in you know yeah well maybe that's a link up with all their management companies and for us to go and get the interviews with other people and like to go on top of that maybe maybe we need to even do some interview separately if it doesn't say well I mean yeah knowing you were in few somewhere I'll go and interview someone maybe we need to arrange stuff that way you know in yeah it says know exactly what is the right team I know that like like Sabian went down interview someone didn't go like not editing go well you just didn't get that many views right like that's not like a bad thing it's just like it's been it's hard not to go yeah yeah it's just like yeah but it's hard to know what is the writing not really the wrong thing I don't think the resourcing is really the wrong thing unless you went on and said like you'd like interview so much Lee racist and you're like yeah I agree with you man oh yeah like that's the only way you could go wrong oh absolutely yeah yeah but like no be great it would be great to like like because we're willing to put like interview people like from the comedians sports people - well let I get like I'm not really like interesting getting like Brad Quran Bullock but actually wouldn't want get him on to be like whether we're and I'm like yeah what's your day like if you have no interest minik so one of you in the homeless crisis the I mean actually bug will be in transport I don't think our audience is like that's what they tune in to us for yeah it's hard to know like yeah you know I mean I know it's more what the audience wants cuz they're yummy yeah but I think every week some goes why don't you get caught of a Greger on the shower singer well yeah we are some last week said no yeah yeah in the world full it like it see that's the thing like it unless we get that like certified boutique unless we DM someone they're already gonna get it straight away you know maybe we'll work on the blue tick for the new year yeah well for this new year yeah boy no yeah it's like I'm really I'm like like four people listen now make sure you like subscribe but what I'm saying to you now is her like am like I know that [ __ ] event is gonna be so big for us that I'm like there's gonna be loads of brands there can be like you can filter these guys yeah I mean the opportunity for also we represent ourselves the best we have doesn't mean like I'm like obviously I want to put pressure on her because like I don't see there's actual pressure on because we we've been doing this for so long and I really like gonna be like nervous I remember we wants men to interview King Kelly and I was it she like [ __ ] myself I was like what if I say something stupid and he Ross is like well you always say something stupid this girl is like I agree look we should maybe have a look at the new year and look at the events and like to score some boy Warren what you think yeah I think we should start off with the world mix martial arts because we have massive audience from there so it might as well give the people what they want so okay hold on let me take a breath first ring what you mean let you okay no cuz this we're gonna chop up the video oh okay yeah this is the parent right okay so yeah Conor McGregor is back on the 18th there's no UFC 246 live from Las Vegas t-mobile Arena Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone a hundred and seventy pounds yeah return of the Mack he's back also plays that's gonna be junk having his birthday is all by the way happy birthday to Coach calf Barry I'm not gonna lie to you and I'm very very excited for eyes walk home McGregor called the start of a season yeah I reload ways Carletta seasons all right oh yeah yeah Sato friend to open port like is he so ahead of the curve and everything yeah like I have not heard one for it or being like season yeah okay I'm like your fight for knowing once you take three months off and then you for nine months oh I think that's sick perf wage deal I also think McGregor's brilliant at st. active when he is in the fight game I think a lot of Fighters can learn nah I don't understand like the fighters or rito is that you don't get paid for sitting at home yeah you mean like that's why I have a lot respectful talents roni he gets indicate so off you know I mean I think he's in the top ten UFC earners of all time now just due to the fact he fight so often well for it could be injured as well and they also could be doing saw projects as well you know I know I know love Maribor I think when you get into the UFC keeper goal or someone sometimes like you Kumail for anyone's game and then you take a little time off like if that was me oblique right still the Floyd camp I was just knocks me out in ten seconds I wish my fight against him well in this called shape yeah I'm staying relevant much how important is the staying relevant in the fight game like if you look at three people this year who had an absolute it was sound in the air Israel to Sonya like he fought multiple times he stay relevant he you know kept his face and news and his body in the Octagon Jorge Mars without like the absolutely a patient me of doing that yeah and then like Henry cejudo didn't actually fight as much as the other two but oh my god how many times you have to Crane jazz hand bend the knees triple see yo meant yeah it doesn't actually matter how often you fight sometimes you can keep your name and the news Kobe Hold'em like so relevant this year yeah and that's what it's all about it wasn't that is what it's all of n't keeping people entertained been asking for him yes Ben Askren like do you appear to me of entertainment yeah yeah if it doesn't actually get much better than Ben Askren Fox put but a bar you how much were you looking forward to UFC 246 it is a couple of weeks away it's fast approaching and I'm sure it's it still hasn't hit me yet like I think they've also asked for Christmas present disappeared something like this soon as a huge show like something that really helps our audience excuse me how's our show grow a lot so like it's it's like all great yeah I mean like I'm not like pull like hasn't hit yet it hasn't here yeah tell me this when you first heard the fight was announced what were your initial thoughts I was like I can't believe Connor he's taking on cowboys Roger so you're like your Deloitte leave it was back well that but also like he kept saying Bebe's name and then it was also saying like Frankie Eggers name and I was like which way is he going with this I could mean that could be Frank Jaeger like a two different way classes in Psych and then cowboys then comes out and it's like ah that is like the most perfect fight for him but the thing is if you look at cowboy Cerrone as well cowboy Cerrone is like right if I beat him we're off to the races yeah absolutely cowboy Cerrone as the most wins the most knockdowns the most finishes the most bonuses in UFC history he's an absolute animal of a fighter and I think it's the perfect matchup from Gregor as well he's gonna force him who's been on the stand and trade with him and so he says 170 do you think that more favors Cerrone or now that you've seen McGregor's new physique more favored than McGregor or do you think it doesn't really matter because they're both sort of what lightweights fight in a welter weight see that's the thing it's it's 170 and I Technicolor looks brilliant and I wait like you know mean like I think 155 looks good as well 145 he looks like a piranha that Nene hasn't eaten in a month but I think it's just it's perfect it's perfect for Cerrone as well I mean he doesn't like to make 155 that easy you mean means he can't go on the beers after all it's just it's almost like if say if you go on to the UC Freud game they're like EA sports game and then you're like right Conor 170 cowboy 170 let's go it's it's almost like they'll have each other for each other just random me on the street sort of thing you know yeah they're fine no almost have to walk around what yeah those are then they are well said there are actual for you wait and it is an interesting way about it McGregor seems to just fault here because he didn't want to quote the weight and that's what John Kavanagh says do you godo it meant only to have because I'm still on the fence with this I don't know if that's I am lament I think is a juicy inhale series McGregor's actually taking training just from local admin of Z's doing load the way training local as new physique and sort of that I hope all just hope he's doing a lot of road work he's one those miles he has like ass hang because there's always that worried the more mostly put on the less or the more fatigued yeah faster and also put another 170 I think ko is less susceptible to the knockout 170 than he was 155 pounds that's the way I look at it and I think might have been the second or third round before you see an okay just do too you know MacGregor's straight left as a seed against es it doesn't carry as much of 170 yeah but also I don't think like obviously in the build to the fight we're gonna be going over just a lot more but I don't like Conor carrying that extra weight going into the championship browns I don't see the way helping him no new they're not new joy just due to the fact I think only carrying that actually helps if you're a rapper and obviously he's not a rapper he's a striker like those bigger boys apps and be your shoulder muscles are gonna be heavier gonna carry more like to gossip going into the Timeship rounds than they do in the earlier rounds yeah it's just me actually interest and came to the fight to the fight really is not yeah and then last time Cerrone fought there until the sale par as well thing wasn't a good night for me either you know now he lost that one quite socially and look I suppose he you have to look at the strongly fight and okay I'll tell you you're gonna say McGregor is gonna win yeah but I'm not like he's all like no fight is a gimme fight you know I mean you cannot be like Conor McGregor is Daphne going to win because absolutely no that's not guaranteed at all now who knows like even the fight can't be cool get injured and you know you know Connery doesn't say anything until after fight if he's injured or not you know yeah look all I assume is gonna win I think you team's gonna win no I'm not saying you're not getting guarantees here that he's gonna win who do you think he's gonna for next from seeing him do that interview on the Mac life it was almost like he was like oh I'm actually not that interesting nor him as well but you think he's just saying at the moment sort of fob off that or do you think he is interesting Muslim and that's where he's gonna go next I personally think he's gonna go for cage next so I sort of want to like pan out his season in my head I know but like almost in my head like before you answer my question I would have said McGregor fights cowboy 10 points - without danforth Kabir that's the tree in the way trait like the tree in the Ralf that season if you could call it that but then it's master dominant meant away yeah Wade out is master out gonna be at this event - for McGregor to be like on the baddest [ __ ] in this in this company do you mean yeah like you could picture in Malmo saying I put then when does Conor ever say anything that you expect him to say in France you go for an ad as if you wanted as well yeah I mean I know he lost Mars for now but like you could always like be like right I'll take that turn ideas point now I know but I don't see him just knocking around with people with no belt like that with no direct path that's why he what you said about gage he would would make more sense rather than going to Diaz oh yeah well my personal take is I feel like he he's almost gonna be like shoe up kg enough you a it was well at then or for domain when squee I'm gonna check you probably know enough to the top UFC 249 in Brooklyn New York I think it's April well there you go that could be the one maybe like he says he could be ready stay ready and that's on April 18th yet you see 249 could be he was taking on Tony Ferguson for the lightweight title so like if Connor gets what people are saying early finish he could be on point to find that card yeah the only thing is I don't think he likes you for you on the undercard on that card if that makes sense no so like is your main event or not otherwise in first you could see Matt you see 250 you know in for engaging yeah I wouldn't rule anything out just yet although like DC versus deep a house ahead on an event somewhere as well do you think he could fight right because if I don't one seven yeah he could fight Steven wonderful Thompson for the noisiest [ __ ] title absolutely not Oh John Cena they'll be hilarious and who to Paris for he thought wonderboy default night it was day two years after yeah I think I was yeah I was gonna say like that like if Paris knocked that one were in there for some nails there was no reason maybe Tony Ferguson I think was when I was a yeah remember when he had to stop yeah I was born with like had his first McGregor being always photos well to watch yeah just for like actual pipe on for yeah it's just like in the fight game especially when you open the top behind your Conor McGregor you're not gonna get like a few you're not gonna fight your own e and then for a Frank Jager and then fight euro a favor and they and Foley could be home it's like right one big for one big win and your hope there yeah look at our until he was like stone dead and then came back I know he's next thing you know with an ex middleweight contender yeah yeah it's Matthew Upson downs the fight game it's not here's my yeah it is it's opened down up and down up and down like it's it's a - poor dad so we're Pope sort of thinking I'm should let us know who you thinks gonna win put an Conor McGregor against Carris roni at the moment I'm taking Connor he's looking very fresh I just follow cowboy on my own Instagram they're just sort of stay open his for camp yes yeah I've really seen it yet if he's drinking beers yeah but like Connor the double-team SPG are over in Vegas EDC Shane yeah shame wounds over yeah yeah fair play legend oh no fair place him yeah when I was like he's never got hold of you know like like you were talking how do you be everything easy I think it was a kickboxer so I think that's far like yeah well for Peyton for a change in photos page over the UFC P oh yeah where's over there like so a double cruise I was like oh yeah yeah yeah I can see yeah I can't wait to see the build apart the build-up you just yeah come away from bed yeah yeah just get you ridi ridi excited well they're also as we said my sub rosters apply for our media credentials for Bellator told him that's compass well that's gonna be headline input change counter also it's a nails - James collar is gonna be going to 40 count as well Ruff's winner leaves he's on the booze well whenever those he is on the pills put what toilet what is say a couple things bell tolling that's coming up soon yes about or Dublin's coming back and look belt or outlook or after all fit really well we low count their events and I think this time it's gonna be a much better matchup for James much much more of a test I think a loner is eight and two so he was made to fight him last oh yeah and a lot more sort of respect to a record one might say and then anyone he's fought recently and also you have iron Chalmers or iron Geordie Shore as he's a faction you know falling on that card and I think he changed his name on Twitter to aaron old Chalmers oh yeah and who else we have Rowan's go Ryan scope is for narrator Queenie a razor and a Peter queries for in breadcrumbs bream Primus former Bellator lightweight champion yeah and that should be great for which Holies gonna fight on the card as well and probably Ritchie smaller and will flurry so you getting short all your oars heads in there and it looks like they're all for facing several competition the last one yeah it's gonna be going into the belt or fight when I don't know if the or each person's gonna win yeah that was here just off the rails Ross this is no it's British hello okay we just sent off our media could like a credentials and then I got in touch with the girl Holly you sorted it out last time I'm white and forget it back in torturous I'm sure things before and then do you think I was just far off no the emails and how I also we'd love to run a competition for you so yeah I think so or not - I give away two free takes belt or room I think that'd be unreal yeah that sounds pretty good to me and then I'll see for econ is going down as well the week after that's gonna work I think tickets are still on sale yeah so Bellator 32nd its 22nd same noise toys furious fight in Deontay Wilder and then the week after it's fully con it's on quark February 29th February 29th slurpy appear today the leap people are gone been asking Steve moon about Thompson James got her will sorry Michael venom page Paul Daley in guys Sherrod he's gone as well Sparkle Sullivan was more we originally recovered she called energized lads the lads were we I think we might be doing like song competitions to win tickets in that on the way over to a border yeah we'll keep you posted all a [ __ ] because it's cooked like this year it's gonna be it's gonna be madness yeah RiRi will be madness and help the internal I think sort of starts to boy I know MVP one boy Thompson Ben Askren James got her here we're looking forward to meeting mouse been asking just crazy funny just like the controversy cause last year that I just accompany to have a chat with him to hear the stories do you think he's fully retired now who knows give him a while off you put he's playing disc golf he could get a bit bored and wanna when a bit of a grapple yeah I'm not too sure either I think I think he loves that bit extra how she gets thrown ones way I mean it was a fight and I think that might entice him back in and all my should really look forward to beating Steven wonderboy Thompson he just seems like such a nice guy and thumbs like I can't wait to do the thumbs up son next to him yeah exactly yeah the energy always Tom's up I'm could have someone on the show if you enjoying the MMA show make sure to LIKE subscribe and we will be back next week in the build-up for you see 246 it's going to be great it will be great okay and then also myself Ross where massive fans of yours will be as well okay I'm sure those people that are watching are as well and we talk like it the arch will be is back the Six Nations is back on February 1st so that's in between all all the demo vents we just discussed on just earlier pour them myself a roster sitting down there and we were like right who should be Ireland's new captain because we have a new head coach Andy Faro shuffle roster like right I'm Rory best retard' obviously the world yeah Roy best hard people didn't know yeah boom it's four years next World Cup things on the France is a yeah be sure well I think it's a bit of bit all over I think I'm actually a whole new venture I think it is in France poor damn it's a world away anyway yeah it's four years way don't worry with four years to check it out and make sure the flights are not going to the wrong place mmm well they're really quite what's gonna be what's gonna be any files first like protocol it's gonna be like bacon who is next captain should be who's gonna be his right-hand man Ross and I think we should go over maybe who it's a kind of it's an AI Ross yeah look I think two obvious candidates for this year six nations are you could have Johnny sex in there Peter Armani I think there are sort of the leaders in the squad at the moment it's like you put them right at the top yeah oh well I think third the obvious candidates in the team right now okay well I think look ugh can I tell you one thing because when they won the Grand Slam yeah and Peter Manny and Johnny Saxon Paul held up the the trophic the trophy together yeah Salah and look I think in terms of longevity and in terms of who's gonna be the captain going forward and I think maybe Topher along could be a possibility and there's a lot of talk of James Roy being possibility I think what's really important when you're looking at their captain of see Pete loves that idea when you're looking at that cotton is who is almost a guaranteed starter and then from there onwards you have to pick your captain there's no point that I've seen so many teams where you pick the captain and you're not even too sure if that person should we start you know mean yeah I don't I think I'm not sure I think I won't air for the next four years as well exactly but how important is that Ross as well before be it knowing that they are gonna be available for the next four years well I think that's why we brought on Driscoll was make happen when he was so young that they were like Troy he's a leader on the pitch and he's young he'll be there for the next war make him captain yeah but he was also like an extremely special talent as well but if you didn't know it easy argue Topher Alone's an extremely impressive talent okay Ryan's an extremely impressive talent you know mean I think between those two that's where I'm looking for competency I feel like there are two people who have their names absolutely nailed down to that team chief I know well then but how do we well the face you can pick someone else do you know how you'd like you don't have to be like let's go let's go over them right let's go right so we will sell for Johnny sexing up see right yeah the mailman financier and in four years time like as we know at the moment he's almost like did you think he's really gonna make the next four years if he office came here I'll probably say you will yeah I mean what the competition is hotting up so much for that a half jersey and then stir and like let alone around like sex is their ball like Ross burns up C button in the hashes there he played brilliantly against Northampton and he was also important when he came on against or hum Ross burns higher Ebert Ross Perot and brother Harry burns Austin's good selves Kieran Frawley they're all absolutely ex and choices that they'll have and then you have obviously carry over and connect and do you have corroboree down a monster I mean like there's plenty competition from that position I don't think Johnny Sexton is gonna be the person in four years so I'm just because he's so injury prone and the way place Mattia I'm thinking about saying I was often wonder lives and work and all of a saying was what do you think about Johnny Saxon coming in and getting that position even though someone's playing week in week out I'm paying very very well someone like Ross Byrne who plays weekend we gave a full answer playing the honing cook painful answer but as soon as X if it's like right bench board you know men someone's I almost think you should stick with the consistency again which mean but it also comes down to them people the money that has been paid to these guys and also the experience as well and they people's jobs on the line as well you don't mean it's like oh who do I pick like for instance memory cane had to start for in the Chum seafoam even though I use injury but it was Lucas poor scored a hat-trick yeah but that's the thing like well the situation you're in now is because obviously the six-nation starts on February the 1st Johnny Johnny sections can be able to possibly March so yeah do you think that's also going to jeopardize the possibility of him becoming cap as well probably on this occasion or detector could be cop-out because maybe maybe antivirals in the home being like right thank God his danger cause I want to pick James right for instance and also suppose the Joey car bleep out cause I am today in training from Ulster not sure if that's true or not so Tony's posted on as well so and I actually think the more I think about the morning with James Rollins he's like a solid pick and I always think it's cool to see a forward as a captain I think it's sort of he lead by example in the forwards you know I mean it's more of an intimidation factor also the way a local is James Ryan seems to be constantly on the pitch and you know that's that's why you're sort of looking for I mean I think he going to fall camp of Johnny sex and as Captain and then Ness you know is injured off the first game then you have to make a new captain for the rest of ya well what even even what about the possibility right save you pick Sexton for next two years yeah and then was there not changed on his voice captain yeah and then like if ii save sexton didn't owe in 40 if you didn't make it the next couple years and james ryan it's just being groomed ready to go because you never know if you gave it to James Ryan straightaways order players from different provinces could be like always he had to me well I think he's ahead of most people on skill level alone and yeah but I mean maybe at the elders like Peter Imani for instance I mean he could like if a Peter Brown he's gonna be captain no matter what whether you give him the armband or not I know that's who he is but monster are playing like so poorly and compared to the other provinces at the moment yeah I almost think his start musicians is guaranteed yeah I mean like if you just look at the lens from back row like the amount of players like head and Doris Max Deegan and then obviously have founder fair reach were like all these players are like competing to get in that Irish squad in the back row one for for their jersey you know I mean here and no one's guaranteed about a certain spot in the back row yeah I know but like I told you I which mean I know they're there they're stacked with the six seven and eight positions bought just because there's not many people compete in the second row doesn't mean you shouldn't be like re well he will be there I think there is a massive competition second row for the older starting spot if that makes sense true you know I mean like I think the old Dylan got injured there but you know in Henderson there Ross malate there's loads of players who are like competing for a second second row spot you know I mean or James Ryan has that one nailed down and I don't think I'd be fairly even roiled that Devon toner being in their back intention to start alongside him you know meant yeah Sam and again with Topher a long I feel like he's the best number three in the world therefore he's not an option for happened I just don't know like personality-wise why wouldn't he be Tyco even keen Healy yeah but I think he needs her t1 also and he's on like sort of the latter side of things super 35 but this one the world corporal's round yeah but I would say he did say he's aim to make it make it so absolutely 4:20 Sexton said the same thing you I mean they're both the more injury problem players and all thinking he's brilliant I think he's better now than he's ever been well I think you less often than not he plays 80 minutes if that makes sense James Ryan's he's play 80 minutes quite lush honest boy person think it's better havoc happen on the field for the full game you never you see James Ryan dude how many interviews dear not a hell of a lot of interviews I'm attached and I think this is a lot of pressure to put on your mind shoulders as well yeah but he seems to thrive under pressure you mean like at his young age he's already won six nations he's already been to a World Cup he's already won the European Cup you know I mean like it doesn't scream scream travel depression on doors I won't say it she'd worn his first 24 professional games for even lost the game like put up his win-loss record as a role player as in there may record cheese you'd be saying he's one of the goats yeah the more you say it now I think James would like I think James Run will get it the more you going on about it but yes also he's from the answer like Sexton furlong yeah Sexton furlong keaneally they're all around them all the time so they would I don't think they'd be like always he getting over me something only be happy from Yomi and at the end today I think if you were bitter over someone else getting captain you probably showed him to being captain you mean like you you should want what's best for the team that's a good point and if you're gonna put your own needs ahead the team well then maybe you weren't the person to lead outside so you think you think he's gonna go yeah I think so I think it's called shell and Lancer on absolute for at the moment it's like every time I watch them play they're putting 50 points on someone you know men I think they scored like over 40 points against Northampton twice he gets Ulster against Connolly I mean and they're all you know the other team is open for those games a lot you know I mean you know to interprovincial games and then European Cup games against the team that's when the English league and the trans to all them yeah so if you're gonna go in order like so who do you think will get it you think James run definitely will get or is he person you want no he's a person I want to get it okay and I think leading into the Six Nations know I think I think John will get I think Andy Farah has come in here make a statement and see if he was play safe just give to Peter or Michael and we know what's gonna ever go terrible decision oh yeah see that's what I think Peter money is well but hasn't really exhale they're on the last wall as well and yeah he hit so just hide that I don't I don't think you like when hit that high again especially in the World Cup you know yeah I think the World Cup supporter hearts George because everyone was poor on the World Cup yeah but I don't think he's gonna like make massive changes out of teams well I know he dropped Kearney Oda squad put Air Jordan armor at like I mean what a man to come into an opposition as well he's actually a brilliant and I just think it's gonna be interesting to see how we do is play yeah as an overall Hani Farrell what sort of tattoos he's gonna employ because it seems like Joe Smith taxes were going stale boy time walk overall round so I was like you showed his hand who already is not yeah yeah I think so so it'd be very interesting say boy look the Oilers what we see is hot nope like there's no tomorrow yeah yeah it's a 3d is exciting like already Lancer qualified it looks like I'll start gonna qualify as well mon-star Connors are struggling a bit but we'll see how they get out what's here get on well they're robbers he could be doing way more robeast off in the lead up to six nations as well and really looking forward to actually seeing who do you think actually will be their future captain around and on the I'm gonna think it's going to be Peter money but you think it's gonna be James run okay he'll be interested to see and I know we didn't get to talk about football in the show or I'll tell you what we'll probably do is we'll probably have a heavy football show in the coming weeks with all the transfers to the January transfer window and at the end of the day I think it's just like deliver pillow in the league boys home watch what else you repost talk about you know Mena and Holly yeah yeah oh yeah probably well we'll get back to that when it's a well there's remember one few more talking points really you know I mean yeah I think you're moaning question with football is pass do you think Liverpool will go the season unbeaten I feel like the top interpet in the Premier League yeah yeah okay so I feel like that like question took a very long time to be asked when they were like 16 wins 1 draw yeah I think people didn't want to blow their beans on like that question and then they've nothing else talked about first year I'm sure some very bad anyway yeah at the start season yeah but I or tipped us were off Moss I hope you enjoyed this show I've no really idea what the start of the show was better well I'm sure you guys
