something introduce the guest man it is the only woman signed to the UFC from the island of Ireland it is the one and only Mama B Shauna Bannon shaa how you doing good good hry up doing good doing feeling very forged very forged very forged yeah smooth and creamiest in the game you know what I mean if you want to point his for out you'll see sha Bon pouring them in the black for in from time to time I'm actually on was on the ball I was like yeah the little angles and all I have it there you have it there you have it no no messing no messing sure look you know the technique is Flawless in in and outside the Octagon you know there we go man next stop the lights stop the lights but H come here shaa H obviously uh we might as well get straight into you were scheduled to compete on the 30th of March in Las Vegas and that fight doesn't seem to be happening anymore do you want to tell us what happened yeah 22 the marches off and I was my first week into camp and I was supposed to rest on the Sunday and I didn't cuz I hate resting and I went early to drill and I was literally Drilling and it was a freak accident I me leg got caught and the body landed on top of me and I tore me miniscus and it flipped back around on itself so went got the MRI very hard to get an MRI in Ireland by the way or jail anyways went eventually got an appointment went to get the MRI um went in and the girl was like do you have extensions in your hair and I was like yeah she was like we can't do that Mar I bearing in mind I had rang every place in the country I was nearly going to England to get an M because I couldn't get one it was ridiculous like you need to take your extensions out so I had to go back home get me extensions take it out go back in get the MRI then I met the surgeon and he was like yeah you need surgery he was like it's just going to be one of them things that will cause you niggles for the rest of your life I couldn't even put pressure on me foot because the way it tore it didn't just Hur like it flipped around so it was just [ __ ] so we had to shave it off I only had to wait a week for the surgery so nearly five weeks into my rehab now I'm pretty much able to do nearly everything already um so it's been really fast recovery and successful surgery so I'm happy with everything um just unfortunate that I'm out this fight I was hopeful that they might have keeping the same opponent um but I get like she won or well she drew our fight in the contender series that was months ago so she's probably eager to fight as well so we may fight again for the down the line I was hopeful that they just maybe drag it out a couple of shs um but yeah I'm I'm eager to get back again and probably be back grappling next week or the week after um and then other than that I can pretty much do everything I can still do pads was like two days later I was doing a full leg workout like so I got straight back into it there was no waiting around um yeah so that's the crack with that yeah sh was that the worst injury of your career so far yeah like I've been looky like I think other than that I've only really broken me nose and that's like you can still pretty much do everything when you break your nose you know what I mean you just void contact for a couple of weeks but um yeah definitely the worst one I think Jiu-Jitsu on the knees isn't the one was actually I was wrestling I was doing a wrestling movement and uh me leg just got caught and it literally the way came in on top I knew straight away it was something bad because I couldn't put pressure on me foot and with that obviously you were expected to start your own Redemption story back back uh looking to get back in the wind colum how much effect did that have on your person knowing that that date was pushed out do you know what lad like I think my last fight like I don't think I've ever like had a loss like that before was really I was offered a contract to the ofc I nearly wasn't getting it then I eventually got released from invictor got the contract and then I felt like I was just in the catch and Bruce Buffer was in front of me calling me name out and it was just I was getting dragged Here There and Everywhere throughout the camp it was a short Camp anyway and I was getting dragged everywhere for I wasn't able to focus on myself and focus on the job that needed to get done um and like sorry for interrupting but like you were getting posted everywhere like you were on with with TNT like like all over Instagram like it was just you they were promoting you like anything it was H I'm not surprised yeah no and come here like I didn't I didn't feel it at the time it was only after reflexing back I was like what the [ __ ] like on the fight day itself I they were doing an embedded series on me because it was like fre de bitton and they were like uh paty the bad doing one got so many views and it'd be really good and like what I didn't have to do it they asked me and me and paty sat down and we're like yeah let's do it but like looking back now I probably shouldn't have done that because I woke up there were in my bedroom came to breakfast for me they were there and I was packing me bag like i' normally have a little nap on fight day and just my whole routine was different then I got to the arena I got drug tested so and I was like the second fight so we literally got there there was a big delay with traffic cuz getting through London was mental so we're only there I got drug tested you have to fill out all the forms all the supplements all the everything that took ages and I wanted to be just focusing on me fight I was doing all that then I went in and they were you're up in 20 minutes so I literally got to do like Tre tails with Paddy and the pads and Collie and it was just like go and like you know like normally you're waiting at the door to walk and you're waiting ages and the nerves kicking and every I was Norm like I wasn't nervous I wasn't anxious I wasn't excited I wasn't anything I was Norm like I was actually it was like an outter body experience I was just Norm so like there was a lot that I learned from it but it was was it was very tough and then like it was a long stretch to not have a fight either like that's why I went and I on the world and jiujitsu because like I need competition like I since jce was born I had 11 fights he only went three Before Christmas I've been in fight Camp since my son is born alongside wearing him and doing everything that you have to do to be a sing like alongside a single mother and it was just go go go go and then I probably didn't digest a lot of things in the first two years of his life and then when I got to slow down it was like everything just came to the surface and yeah I had a bad few months like I did but um and then I thought when I got the fight sign and I was like I'm on the other side of it come back and then that injury happened so um get sorry but yeah it's been a crying as well Shan I'm crying as well um like I always say everything happens for a reason and sometimes I don't see it now sometimes takes a few months or a few years even but I know why that happened with this fight I I needed that injury to lock on on me person rest of my life and I wasn't ready to go into a fight Camp to I wouldn't have been able to give it 100% mentally a fight Camp right now so yeah slow down one thing we did see was you got an award there recently can you tell us about that yeah so the the mayor award that was for winning the the world indu so like the speech he gave was lovely cuz like he was going back to me kickboxing days and the fact that I'm World Champ in tree Sports and it was lovely I had all my friends and family there it was lovely evening and I don't think like that's not really something that happens often with um MMA because I think MMA gets a little bit of hate I suppose uh in comparison to other sports so it was it was really nice to get that recognition for the MMA kickboxing and Jitsu together yeah Ross we were disappointed not to be invited weren't we no what like I actually I actually didn't know how big of a thing it was until I got there like there was food for about 100 people I was like I only asked a few people I felt bad then I was like I could have asked the whole beding nation like it was thing but I didn't realize how big of a thing it was until it was happening and I was like [ __ ] why didn't I ask more people yeah we we asked Patty and Chelsea could we come and they say no didn't it Russ [ __ ] oh St no but look obviously incredible to win obviously like you're an inspiration to many especially uh amongst the Tyler area as well so that's that's great to see that you've been uh recognized but by your own people as well which I suppose is that a little bit more special and uh I'm sure that was a proud moment for uh from your dad as well for uh obviously he runs tler martial art so uh what what did he say to you on the day I was delighted because the TMA was actually in a couple of weeks before because there was a few that won the world in kickboxing so they got one a few weeks before and that he was delighted was over he's always proud of me and the absolutely yeah I suppose one thing I do want to talk on obviously you were saying you having a bit of a tough time and the injury came maybe you weren't ready for this fight but uh one person you're very very close with who had a tough time in recent but has turned it around uh Meb Molly McAn what have you what have you taken from seeing what Molly's gone through and how she's come through that on the other side it's just inspirational because like realistically she should have just [ __ ] walked away from ages ago with the like the hate that she gets online like it's it's [ __ ] mental like I just I don't get it because she's [ __ ] down our country proud down everyone around her proud like she's literally she went down she could have just said [ __ ] this but she didn't she dug deep and she went back and the finish that she got like that round in that fight was like just pure MMA she showed grappling she showed wrestling she showed her striking like even her spinning [ __ ] and all this like she showed everything in that one round like it just shows how hard she put like all the hard work she put in the camp you know what I mean and she deserved it and like hopefully she does just go on a little run now do you know what I mean like Petty always says to me it's like this and then I'm like go up and then down and like I'm there now and I can feel that and he was there as well and then he was like it's just going to show up and that's that's what I'm hoping for do you know what I mean and that's what I'm working towards and once I saw everything out in my mind and my personal life I think the next few years is just going to be go go go and win win win and I'm really looking forward to it I'm only at the start of Me pro career like I'm only six fights in I so much more to give yeah yeah shout to Molly shout out to Molly as well dedicating that win to Ryan Curtis as well yeah yeah unre deadly I think with that as well sha I think like going from F fighting on the local Regional scenes here to then like fighting the UFC is like such a shock to the system as well that like you know I mean like all that Medium press and all that coverage and you know your social media blow blown up and all that it's very hard to ignore that with with the fight coming hand in hand you know what I mean so h i I can definitely understand why um that come getting the way come fight week so I will say though you do have an excellent team around you um you know you've stayed true to your team as well like your team is the same from day one how much do they mean to you everything like paty literally like he doesn't just care about me and fighting he cares about me in life him and Chelsea the two of them like I'm so so so lucky to have them like throughout my pregnancy they were there for me like everything in my life they helped me for like you know I mean it's not just they don't just care about MMA and the money and that like not that I've made any money yet but like you know I haven't but you know what I mean um it's like it's just genuine and I think it makes that difference and even that reflects then into my corner then when when he's calling for something and I just do it instantly because I trust him so much and I know that that's the right thing to do like it's not like I think that's really hard to build and I always find it so strange when I see people hopping from gym to gym because I'm like how can you trust them in your corner your next fight is always the biggest fight of your life and you're dealing with someone you only know from your fight Camp I just find that mad like I find that mad but like yeah paty and col the two of them and even John Conor is me strength conditioning coach like I'd be lost with them all they're just they're such genuine people and they just want you to do well do you know what I mean yeah I I remember in the bill up to the fight as well I think Patty put up the story up saying that everyone over in the UC think Patty and Collie are brothers to be fair like same but different isn't it it's just funny it's just like they must be brothers the whole team was just the ginger s like strawberry blond hear Ginger now it's it's strawberry blonde it right strawberry blond sorry sir I look like absolute salt to the Earth people bit like yourself you know what I mean unbelievable to see uh one one thing you touched on there uh i' like to ask about was obviously you went over to Vegas for the jiujitsu world championship and uh obviously you picked up the gold medal over there uh there was a massive outpour of emotion when when you won that final match how much did that mean to you and how good did it feel to you back to any ways yeah it was unre like the the week before that I genuinely I wasn't even going to go and everyone was like just go just go because the competition was do good cuz people know how I am you know I mean I've done competition my whole life and I was like oh I just really didn't want to leave Jason I was like oh well like go won't I and then I ended up gone and like it was really nice to get them like my first fight I was actually so nervous in the first round I was like we like him and and Han but then after that I was like the [ __ ] cuz they go for them girls like and that's their like that's the way they are the way I am with MMA you know what I mean I like I to got hyped up in the second fight I was like [ __ ] this let's go so had a little pep talk in the corner and then I H did I choke yeah I got got a choke and then that that one and then IR bar in the last round so yeah it was good it was good to get that competition back in and then to be around because then I was around the lads from the UFC the whole week in the pi and I got a fight the week after that you know what I mean so it's just nice to put your face in and be like don't forget about me and tell us this obviously the UFC po you never know who's going to be there who's who the coolest person you've seen in the ufcp bar baral of course Baria yeah yeah yeah I'm trying to think those [ __ ] load there it was just like this is mad like everybody was just I feel like so many of them are based in Vegas like and you can see how it is because the pi literally looks after just so well like all your field is done all your physio all your snc like everything is just done for you and then the facilities that they have like so you can see why so many people moved there I was hoping to see day we went to the card on the Saturday night I was like if I see in here I'm going to ask him to build a crush in the P me and J be like see it can you get your washing and ir and done there as well oh don't be short I'm not messing like they look at you you just go up book all your food got all your supplements book into the phys like it's just everything's just there it's great and then it's a good atmosphere as well because like some people are at the start of the fight Camp some people are at the end and it's just you know like it's steadly and when you're poking in obviously this is going to be a sort of one just like a random question but uh for for those at home who obviously you've never been to the ufcp when you're booking in like your team or whatever how many people can you bring with you at a Time s six I think okay that's a lot like I suppose yeah well I but like then like there was people there doing like full training sessions with the whole team so like there's like a matted area and there's two cages and then there's another like matted area and the Big M area like most of the time there was like classes going on it was like there was wrestling classes there like every morning it was right like can I jump in on that or like yeah should actually do like a weekly show of people dropping in to the pi and just put it up on YouTube and see what the story is All it get loads of views because it's like the facilities onare yeah it's great for networking sh if you were to come like when you come back is there somewhere I like the fight because there is talks of cage Warriors man sorry U Manchester um they haven't announced any other European shows but like would you ideally be fighting in America America or would Manchester be would you be interested in that I don't give a [ __ ] where it is I just want to fight like I gen the location like I was happy that my next fight was in Vegas because I know the S there and like and I know where everything is I had my little hot yoga studio I had like I had like the whole setup so I wasn't just going and not known and as well I only went for like six nights so I was going to planning gone for two weeks because the time difference and like I really got affected by the time difference there like been to Korea and [ __ ] places upside of the world and I never had yet like like the way I did from Vegas so like I was like okay I probably would have only went a week but I'm glad now that I know so I was going to go two weeks out and yeah so there was like a few things that I kind of picked up on for being in Vegas but like I've in with and Victor we went to Denver we went to Oklahoma and you do find your your [ __ ] like pretty fast you know what I mean you just do the research beforehand so like I really it it doesn't matter like I don't care once like a a 5 S like I'm hoping to be back for J and everything should be back to normal by then so yeah we'll definitely be announcing it when it when it goes uh when it is officially announced sh um over the weekend you were also doing commentary at cage Legacy 20 one of the biggest shows arand has ever had what did you make at the event overall Sean really really good like I think each show just keeps getting better and better and it's really professional like to know I mean like it's fair place to the lads on the team like it's it's growing growing and growing every show and it was decent fights even not even the last one the one before that and that was all people mostly making their JB was actually really good like there was good talent for people just like making their debut on so early on in their career and then there was obviously Pro fights the weekend but really really good George W his fight Clinic performance literally dominated did you see that yeah yeah he's he he's H someone who I feel like might struggle to get matched at times as well now he's turned Pro I feel like he's he's one of those ones who's like probably already at a stage where he's sort of a three four five fight person already even though he's one know a pro and people aren't going to be putting their hand up to step across the cage from that fell but he he looks really good yeah if F can pay people to fight him yeah I was goingon to I was going to say that like uh obviously uh in terms of H and martial arts like you're obviously leading the charge there he's now join the pro ranks there um seems to be uh th those uh bodies in around Patty's weight seem to be really excellent there yeah that's the one isn't it it's great that we have him to be able to doal [ __ ] with because he's so good at mimicking a budy like it's actually it's strange how good he is at you like he just be like my next opponent he'd be figh and I'm like oh my God that's really good you're fighting exactly lik him and he's like yeah I know so good it's weird how good like it's mad I be like whoa shout out to Georgie um also just for people tune in in now are you going to be coming for Laura sano's job next as well let's go why not that's an exclusive R Us yeah man B can do it all man B can do it all uh obviously U the the show actually looked looked better than previous I don't know whe it was in the warehouse or not but like uh it looked like the best show of they' done to date uh set the way the ring or the cage was and then it was like around and then the were up high as well do you know what I mean it was it was a nice little setup was quite like compact if that makes sense it reminds me of the ukfc show in Liverpool I one of them for it was like there was a lower level and a higher level so it was nice it was good good yeah exactly and I think also like obviously Conor McCarthy also am Pro debut as well that was a incredible head kick knockout fair play to him massive Prospect and then uh H incredible gu for the card and the promotion uh Richie smen and looks like he wants to fight in the next cage Legacy as well so uh he he's looking to follow follow the m b route into the UFC by the by the sounds of uh way he's talking 100% he's been there before and I think I think he deserves to go back again like he has serious Talent like he's is wrestling and jiujitsu his next level and then his striking is there as well so there's no reason why he shouldn't be back in the UFC and he just kind of needs to rack up them fights and get recognized again and pop his face and and be like hello Sammy yeah he definitely has some unfinished business there H sha are you going to be commentating a cage Legacy 21 that's going to be going down on the 24th of March in me yeah I'm taking Browner St now I'm getting okay someone has to do that I know I wouldn't be able to I like just sitting at the desk and having the chats and doing it like that's fine but yeah the team was the team is good there's good chemistry there between yourself Browner and Nathan Kelly as well yeah no it's actually good the TR of us together because it's a little bit of the female side the male male side and then Browner he knows everything about him yeah why you be there reading his notes like he put serious effort yeah e there going yeah and George had three scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast this morning you know I mean like the man does research and fairness to him he does doesn't he be reading that before the show like that all the information so many people like in the amateur scene like there's so many they're just popping out of everywhere a't they yeah yeah he not again there you are he has he has notes on people making their amateur debut like exactly Browner Browner has yeah great have someone like Browner there covering it and like having so much information about everyone as well for the people tuning in as well 100% yeah yeah but uh Sean like we want to thank you for coming on the show I know you have a lot of beds there to bring up into the house but um is there anything else you want to say to people tuning in now that can't wait to see you back in the Octagon say that again sorry I miss what is there anything you want to say to the people tuning in now they want they cannot wait to see you back in the Octagon oh yeah I'll be back very very soon just a little bump in the road and comeer I'm used to them I'm like that my whole life so we' be back stronger and I've learned from the like my last a I've learned so much so I just can't wait to put that into the cage because like I've been working with sports psychologists and mindset coaches and so I'm working a lot on my mind because I think I was just an autopilot for a lot of me since I came back from J I was just an autopilot a lot of the time and [ __ ] whatever else for them yeah so like I I've worken a lot on my mind and mindset and the psychology side of it as well so I'm really excited to get back in and show and my skill set obviously I've been working LS on that but I've done a full Jiu-Jitsu Camp which I never really got to do before either like because I was always just focusing on the MMA side so I feel like me Jiu-Jitsu has leveled up as well um so yeah really excited to get back in there doing what I love there you have it folks hold off on booking those summer holidays yeah I'm I'm be fighting na but it's coming June July um um for the summer so get get your summer holidays booked in Jun
