many stars you think the show is if you want to give us five it's christmas time like even max is going through max is in the back in work right now doing this so this is a five-star show that we're bringing to you ross ross tell the people tell the people listening right now why max lady is on the show right now well max is on the show because he is the energized amateur irish male fighter of the year four with the youth gold medal what a year for you like tell us like how much this year has meant to you man oh it's me it's meant a lot um people have seen it as like a huge achievement and stuff i only went to 18 in august and stuff like that and i decided i wanted to test myself against all damn as much amateur as i could before the year ended um a lot of time a lot of hard work a lot of dedication went into it with them working within training and like nutrition everything i really really stepped up my game like after i won the worlds because uh i knew it would be a big step up point and bigger physically stronger people than me uh stuff looked up but at the end of the day for me it's just a love they own it you know what man i've loved dylan since i'm a little kid we do it purely i would love for the sport and i'm just genuinely happy where i am right now i'm demand i meant huge a lot to me to my couches to me james it means a lot to me to be able to go out and represent myself my couches and my gyms we first saw max live put on his performance uh at cage legacy there i think it was last weekend what did you make of his performance i thought i thought it was brilliant max i mean like ever since you won the gold there and then turned 18 we've been even more concentrating on your work every time someone comes on we just shape them out more and more and more and we're more following their career but the way you went in did the business and it was just like a water off the docks back the following you had there as well is also so important how important is to have like an actual following before you go anywhere like look at some fighters in the uc right now they haven't got a following so therefore they're not going to get a push but you as an amateur right now it seems like you have the whole country behind your mouth something like that i just i had i had everyone there that's closest to me everyone that i loved was there you know what i mean everyone thought i have a some sort of bond with was there you know what man even got one of my best mates paying or to walk out holding the belt he would have been my mate since i'm about four years of age you know man and he's been supporting me since four years of age right up until now i might over 10 years like you know what man so those are the type of people i have there people that i know have me best interests at heart you know what man and it just means someone wished me to see them happy that i'm doing well you know what man he actually took a picture of us after the fight didn't he he's the one that took the picture yeah even just comparing yourself like obviously conor mcgregor is the most famous fighter in the world the way like even his parents didn't even really support his his like his goals and then straight away from amateurs like your family are all there all making noise this wave is something brilliant to watch a hundred percent i think i think as an amateur fighter it's so it's so important to have that support and if you don't have the support okay it might be a bit more difficult to get to your destination but it's making it that bit easier for me knowing that i have that support at home supporting me friends ever like supporting me whole entire family and even just supporting me couches and me trying them partners you know that pushes me a lot like you know and people might think when i thought my mind think of those those days where i feel like you're tired saw and you don't want to train it's those are the people that push it you don't mean it's like okay little brother they'll push me every day to be the best version of myself you know i mean i couldn't thank them all for it yeah big shout out to john vaughan although avondale's get on to us now if you're cursing the podcast i have to make sure i'm close on in the videos we'll we'll block that video but you obviously max trains and ftg spg charlestown spgnace and dca like you would have thought that someone that goes with multiple gyms they wouldn't get as much support maybe because maybe he's not tying himself down to one gym what do you sort of make the way max is actually doing a totally different book getting support well i i think he's looking to get the elite the elite everywhere he goes and i think sometimes when you're open and transparent about what you're trying to do and how you want to go about it i think how you go about it is a big way that like you know i'm sure you have those open conversations with colleen matt and we own roddy with sergey that you're like i want to go do some wrestling with sergey i mean like i don't think anyone can question someone going to wrestle with sergey he's one of the best uh wrestlers in the country you know you don't get that moldovan restaurant anywhere else i mean like shout out to uh albert isn't it yeah he was wrestling he was wrestling some young phil in the crowd uh arcade legacy as well i was like the poor fellaini was wrong then i don't feel bad from there and then like obviously cully man like craig oakley's one of the best toy boxers the countries there yeah and then obviously already like can put it all together so i mean it's absolutely phenomenal i think it's brilliant uh what what is that like uh trying to separate your time going to each spot so the time time management is a huge thing like it's a huge thing i think it's it's so important to be able to have a good time management but me as an athlete the way i see it is it's it's not my coach's job to make sure i'm training it's my job you know what i mean my couches are going to be there to coach me and guide me in the right direction but if you ever see i am on that athlete where it's like i want it more than me coach you know what i mean i want to i want to make it look like i've got hunger to make it but i see so much people it's almost like the coach pushes pushes the athlete more um but for me they understand that i'm hungry and i want to get better and i want to flee the best in the world and i want to go all over the world pointing the best in the world and kali sergey uh and own they have they have that understanding they've been away they've they've competed against the best in the world you know what i mean they've gone over coaching athletes competing against the best in the world like craig went away and he fought like one of the best i think one of the best toy fighters there in france and he got got robbed in a decision you know what man so they all have that world class experience in each category in wrestling in mma and in toy boxing you know what i mean and toy box is more striking than toy boxing if you have a look at craig's he's one of the most only he doesn't look like a toy fighter when you see him like strike and you're not mean he's more of a boxer with beautiful kicks beautiful setups you don't mean and it's like i'm just trying to i'm trying to add all the stuff he does into me game all the stuff sergey goes into the game all the stuff ready doesn't it again i'm trying to become as complete as i possibly can and i just don't understand why people it's like if i am around someone and someone's associated with me i represent everyone that's associated with me you know man i represent them three gyms every time we walk into that octagon those are the three gyms that we trying out and those are the three gems that will always stay loyalty you know what man it's just me as an athlete i see it as my job to get better it's my it's my job and it's like i feel like i am progressing a lot quicker than them tree gyms than it was to stay in the wound gym and you have to say like you can see that progression as well you know i mean obviously you know uh he choked out alex connolly a cage legacy but also like he dropped mega uh uh euro fighting championships as well so you know i mean those hands are coming and i think i don't know max maybe you feel like people might underestimate uh your striking game because you're sort of known from the jutsu world yeah it's it's it's developing you know i mean like anything i've only started literally only start striking properly since january you know what man i had boxed as a kid like for a few years but i was never really consistent that you're not making i always love jiu-jitsu but if you were to say i'm only i'm only properly striking since january you know what i mean and the hands are coming in to play a bit we're still having a lot more to a lot more to work on obviously with timing and shot selection but do i always say it right now is it's like right now the way me wrestling's working i mean jujitsu is working i don't really need to strike anyone right now you're not man because we take down offense and defense and it's like i haven't been taken down in like four flights like i don't think i've i don't think i've even lost a round i've won army fights by unanimous decision you know um and it's like i i know for a fact that my strike and you'll see my striking when i need to use it makes sense yeah yeah like obviously you're definitely want to watch we've had john before it's saying that everyone already knew it anyhow sometimes if you need us to say but like you're like another thing that people notice about like you're like it's if you're a pro max the way you're going on like you're obviously working full time you're training now these three gyms can you just explain like briefly how you sort of break down what days you know what day you train in certain gyms and like you write everything down or what way just sort of like keep everything live i take notes of everything everything i do and all my photos i've taken 84 pages down the notes what i'll do is i'll run through them notes and i'll scan them i'm very good if i'm very i have a very good attention to detail like i can pick something very quickly when i'm looking at something if i'm if i'm there and i'm looking at something i can break it down within about two three minutes you know but that's the biggest thing every fight i had even np-forced one against a man parker cannon oh it was i was examining what i could have done better even though i submitted pouring in the first round there was still about three or four things i needed to work on that could have been a bit better you know what man and people see that as flawless performance i'm never satisfied with the performance i'm always looking to try and prove myself no matter what it's i can never be sad i'll never walk away from a point and be satisfied you can say enemy couches i i always there's always that one thing that i need to work on and i think the biggest thing i took away from maggie when i fought my girl was i was getting stuck in a single leg position every time they come in they reach for the kamara grip it was like i was almost static and i i i just couldn't get down from that position so i think there before that for alex conley i was all i was doing was walking on it with roddy and sergey that was it the only thing i was working on i knew everything else was flowing the motion once i hit that so basically i got the same position and like i got through the defense that camaro defense from the single leg and went straight out to his bike you know man and it's like people don't really see that because we don't even need to mention it you're not mean but we do we'll take notes down or study you're not you know actually study the game because it's it's that's what you need to do if you want to get good you're not mean you need to be obsessed with it and i like i i am so obsessed with the sport like beyond obsessed look what i'm even i'm even sitting here and i'm like i'm thinking i'm thinking in my head what photo am i going to watch later you know what man like all i think of it all they think about is fighting you know what man okay yeah can you tell us why your weak works as well max because like there's a lot of times when i'm coin camp usually in the mornings oil go down i take my six to jiu jitsu class i take that on a monday and a wednesday oh there's a second in the gym usually up until 11 and i'll train at 11 to about i'll train not eleven till about i think it's quarter to one one o'clock is that nice no that's in charlestown a challenge right so that's what i'll do on the monday and then i'll rest go home get a boy to eat and then i'll train and college them from six o'clock till about usual eight half eight yeah that's dc yeah with the time where yeah get showered that's what it's like most days then on there tuesdays and tuesdays i get down to hollies oh what i'll do is what i actually kind of focused on there my last camp was a lot of power work and shrimp because i'm trying to fill out i'm i feel like right now i obviously have a lot more to grow and stuff like that but i want to i want to build my frame and become a bit of a bigger lightweight because i feel like right now would be a bit too big to go to federal way it wouldn't want to kill myself to go to federally but i could get the fed away if i wanted that i feel like but right now it's like that's not what it's about right now i want to grow i want to be able to eat i want to be able to like just get bigger you're not mean but bigger and like that like positive frame like almost like a dust and party conor mcgregor wait you know what i mean so i really focused on me power and me strength in the last camp so i was doing usually doing that on a tuesday and a thursday morning and then tuesday nights i'd get down or do me mma strike and mma wrestling with roddy uh wednesday's would uh be down to charlestown during me 6 30 and then i'm trying not eleven and then i get down to charlestown later on that evening for the mma striker mma wrestling um tours day morning i usually get down to collie uh and then later on that evening i'll go down to surges for some greco-roman wrestling freestyle wrestling friday yeah friday um i'll usually go down to charlestown in the morning for 11 and then i'll do the dog house rounds and say guys the wrestling once at seven uh saturday i'll do me a strongman session uh with john connors in the osi i usually might get a treatment or something don't have to get a big drawing needle and a massage or something to loosen up the body a bit and then on sunday i walk and that's hashtag no days off huh you know what that's standard right he's like more of an active recovery you know man yeah i wouldn't be for an amateur like what what's making that no offense like i mean like what to make that like that's like it is not an amateur like that's that's a professional who just hasn't fought uh or a profession who hasn't fought a professional fight yet that's the way i look at it max tell us this obviously you're you've gone four and oh now as an amateur you're the most talked about names in the country it's unannoyable do you feel like there's a target on your back do you feel like someone wants to be the first person to scalp you oh yeah definitely definitely and i might want a person to come scout me you know i mean i love having that tag on me like because if i have that tag on my back i'm just going to get more avoid somebody absolutely yeah i think um who do i say i think ben hughes said uh he uh he wanted to maybe fight in in uh at the next cage legacy show what'd you make of that fight kill let's [ __ ] have it like you know what man i'm just starting my course there that's heavily you know what man i don't care like names aren't really anything to me or just now if i'm going into a fight i have the skill set to finish anyone in the country i believe you know what i mean so whoever they want to put in front of me bring it on i'm the champion of all your war and i'm the champion okay's legacy and champions defend belts so whoever wants to come forward and try to take them up me i'll right ahead but obviously you train with uh a man who calls himself the bell collector andreas binder and is is that something that you might look at doing maybe going up to cage conflict or maybe a trip to clan wars and try and collect all the belts no definitely or just we'll just float voucher to get as much felt as i can you know as much voice as i can honestly being honestly just the belts it's actually a funny story with cai's legacy i only found their point in [ __ ] legacy when i was fighting andrew and he found out that was for a belt like a few days before the fight i think that was our fault to face the face i was going to film that was for that for the belt does it they didn't even have a clue but that's it's it's purely for me it's purely about cage time you know man i want to be in there and i want to be fighting i want to be getting better like obviously the probably go i'd like to go pro when i'm about 19 or 20 i'm 18 now but i believe next year like you get about 15 how much that voice easily like easily you're not man that's me target just to get as much fights as possible now obviously there's going to be a bit of recovery in between i'm not going to be boring myself out or anything like that you know man but right now mata taking them for fights hasn't taken a whole lot of me i've come out with each every single one injury-free nothing wrong with me you're not man i think a lot of that has to do with me lifestyle like i'll never really go out drink and i don't drink at all i don't drink alcohol i don't do like anything like that i'm really like i'm i'm really committed to this you know man i don't think a whole lot of people are as committed to me this is like this is genuinely my life you know man as the promoters around the country are are following at the mouth knowing that max lady's gonna fight 15 times next year into the dms right now if he's coming back to ashburn in march we'll have that place blade and happen look i did the last one but we definitely want to get into what you've got what y'all planned for 2022. but to sort of wrap up 2021 what like if you could give it like a sentence or a word or feeling what like like winning the goals going four and all getting all the belts like what what has been the main thing about 2021 that sticks out to you 2021 first half of the year was horrible for me looking up man i was making that transition into mma and i was getting slapped around by everyone in museums know sport and i tell you like even some of the hoitins i would have got off jay hardis scott harvey all the lads some of the horns i would have gotten you know what i mean because always the little [ __ ] i was always uh gosh i'm about that moist gonna bother me that's like she's actually gonna bother me when she watches this but um like some of the hoydens i would have got like because i was always the little fella in jiu-jitsu tapping everyone out no one could get me and noun was near me and i loved that but then i had to take a step outside my comfort zone didn't i so i took that step by on my comfort zone and for about three months i was miserable i was like oh i can't even i couldn't even submit anyone because everything's so much different in that mma style compared to my jujitsu story and it was like i was submission only i was trying to submit everyone from everywhere but sometimes in mma that doesn't work either presents itself or it doesn't you know and i just made that and i stayed patient with it and i stayed consistent with it and then i think over the summer that's when i really coined the jump in a few levels you know what man because i was obviously staying consistent but like i would have found you like the world toil and the far image are fights realistically i want to aim bigger for next year i'm always trying to aim for a bigger ball wrapped up i'm definitely pretty satisfied i wouldn't let me get 40 foots now from september that was my goal was to get four fights but i actually ended up not managing to get her russell you could put it down the kerrigan's nail if you want get the fifth one not too late sharp flip those few talkies you don't want this uh smoke but uh let's be honest max wants all the smoke so uh i can't even lie you can't even lie uh max like what an incredible year 2021 was like obviously we we thought you know no one as an amateur had a better year than you did but uh someone who i did want to touch on who's someone who you you've probably trained with is conor mccarthy we actually saw him a cage legacy as well obviously he changed over spgnace he looks like he's going to be a phenom himself like oh yes i couldn't get over him was he's he's played he's an animal he's one i love i love having him and i'm so lucky to have him because he's in that same mix as me he's training our child's down and he's trying to know nice with me like you know someone that we have that bamboo connor is he's he's very good like he's very very good in his boxing abilities he's a blade piston of our right hand he's he's a very very good sparring partner for me and i'll have me i'll spar with him or sparrow andrews a fair field lads and a really really good buddies for me you're not me because i'm getting tested in soyuz and obviously like technical ability because connor has a set of tasty hands on him like you know what man but definitely like we've fought so far on i think three cards together it's been yeah three cards it's been and i definitely think we'll be pointing on a whole lot more together like you know what man i think he's training out is he training now now i'm four or no you're not man and it's nice to have that coin the bond coming up together like you know what man yeah you almost remind me of like a jungian gary and like that's sort of weird say because he and gary's 23 he brought uh the way the way he finished that last fight i was like oh his box and it was just so crisp and clean you know i mean i was like was it step back right i think it was it was beautiful yeah yeah you were very impressed well weren't you yeah but he was not a pretty person walking in with peter creedy who was behind them as well and he had like huge like uh a lot of people don't support him as well so when you see that when they have the fans there as well like even uh elvis elvis got the way in there as well but there wasn't even there wasn't that many people like supporting them so when you see someone with a load of backing you're more like well like what you have to keep a closer eye on this person as well the way it works is it's like we're kind of when our movie mates are gonna scream i kind of and i know all the kind of people are gonna scream me you know what man that's the bond you know what i mean oh like and that's that's it's almost quite a beautiful enough because it's like oh you don't know this bloke but he trains with me mate and if he trains but we he make supporting him that's the way it is because if you're seeing him and kind of smacks your man you're saying i'm even paying up there in the midst of him towards the cage it was brilliant the lookout is delighted but like you there's a story there's a funny story right about uh own roddy right um he was fighting ross what was that without even remember the story of his making them the toy and tron started saying it was [ __ ] it was funny he's like i can't beat the fight and he was like i'll [ __ ] off down and [ __ ] up and then yeah and told us who that guy was that guy reminds me of your man yeah if owns this you know you know exactly what he is what a nickname [Music] evenly playing football and everything we would have went back like years you know what man even on the other boys as well like come here here's the real made question can you go into your golf and open the fridge can he oh he can't yeah that's the boundary you always see you don't mean like but when buzz comes to my mouth like you know i mean like good look at nothing a cup of tea you make one himself you know man like that's that's that's the level you know i mean like when you're making your own cup of tea in the cafe like that's it charlie my family would say peanut has like a little look what he's about he's me little big brother on my ear and all that and i'm looking up man he's my little break brother look you know what man he's always always welcome and we got like we always to be out with each other and stuff like that you know what man me and him would be like even on the other lads as well like my friend group like i've been mates with them out since like fourth class fifth class you know what man like very young that would have been about maybe 10 11 or if like and i've had the same group of mates right up until now like you know what man by the way as well as once you trust i want to want to see you go down the right path as well that's another thing to look out for as well definitely have you found anyone trying to like infiltrate your friend group now since you you you started to grow someone's trying to you know grab some that clout on the way up yeah of course here you can't hear but you're just going to have to you just have to kind of smile and wait you know yeah yeah it's the best way to do it oh you know like i'll always i'll never have never like never be mean i'd be like horrible to anyone like that i'm just out late but if you want to be friends with me and you want to support me i'll do i just match energy you know man that's all i do you want to give me negative energy i'll just cancel it out you know man which is like a very chilled out mindset that i have but like oh you know who the real ones are and it's been the real ones i've been there since day one like you know like four seconds towards you would have got a few slaggings not videoing mma and all that you know man look like everyone like those but we're going out already once who like believed i mean from the start you know i mean they'll be like that until i get to the very top the proof's in the pudding max like obviously like 2022 is just around the corner uh we hope hopefully you have a very good christmas but like what do you do now do you sit down with all the each team that you train with and make a plan or who do you sit down mainly with to make a plan for 2022. so basically uh i've already have kind of a plan made with sergey and roddy your plan is now i'm quite a maintainer 40 uh 74 kilo over christmas and what i'll do in january i'll cut down then to about 73 72.5 and i'll try not that way because for the only mess i've got to maintain 70 across the five days you know what man yeah so the actually on january what the impacts are on in january aren't they january january yeah uh january 24th is the fourth days i think i'll fly out on the 24th of the 22nd dubois isn't it boy i wish it was nice apparently january's like there like summer as well over there like you know what man is there any other cars is there any other cars you're planning on getting on as well uh sorry candy ross can you hear me yeah yeah yeah is there is there any other cards in 2022 you like people oh yeah oh look i like to get on there honestly i don't care anywhere like if they have a fight and they want to challenge me again someone go that'll test me and stuff like that cool um and your and your plan obviously to go over to the imax again is go over and win it again oh yeah no definitely look i'm not going over there for like experience and i'm going over there to win like simple as that's my mentality and if i'm like if we do lose and i'll that'll only push me more but maybe i'm going i'm fixed on that number one spot you know what man yeah and if you win at max would you be the first youth and senior imac champion of all pretty sure i would yeah i haven't i don't think there has been anyone else yet and do you think i'm pretty sure he would how do you get funding for that are you are you looking for sponsors still or oh like the whole town has gotten together and like have got the money together for me i'm very very grateful for um a few i'll give a shout out to a few uh msl school uh scouter there mcgowan he looked after me and already house of coffee as well and ashford they looked after me and barry shaw electrical looked after me too a lot loads of other names and they all came together and it was so common to blow awake i hate doing that it's something i don't like doing i feel like i'm begging for money but it was almost like they came together and they were like we want you to go over we want you to represent ashburn you're not mean because at the end of the day i'm proud to live in ashburn you're not me and i've lived there happy life so it's like i will gladly go out and i represent ashbron i represent everyone around me i represent everyone who sponsored me friends family coaches club everything you know what man i just want to be here i just represent myself as best as i possibly can and there's nothing fake about it at all it's like me i'm always just being myself you know what i mean like nothing's ever put on i'm never being something that i'm not you're not mean and i think people can see that and they're starting to almost respect it a bit now you know what i mean like it just [ __ ] made me so happy i was gonna say i don't think it gets much reader than the storerooms of kerrigan's buttress oh the sauce isn't all lover lover shoulders have the sausages made as they say basma yeah exactly it's been brilliant this year and like just even the irish amazing house opened back up and like even the the way like even being a cage legacy it was almost like being like a uc dublin roster it was like the most like professional amateur event ever with the fans and everyone was assuming it was it was it was so brilliant especially now people going through hard times mental health people not getting training in it's uh it's a beautiful thing to see and long may continue but like before we wrap things up max like is right now the people you want to put let them know or put something out there that you want to achieve in 2022 like the floor is yours right now but i am the only thing all you want to achieve in 2022 is happiness because i am happy now but i just want to be more i just really know like oh i don't want anything you know what man i just want to i just want to fight i want to do what makes me happy like i'm the type of person that like since i've left school or not i left school this year i left in september and everyone was almost like oh you're mentally even skilled and all that all you knew the day we left school is waking up every morning like motivated to go train motivated to fight you know what man that motivation i wake up every single morning with that motivation and the days sometimes you get to your day that you don't wake up with it that's when your loved ones are there to push it when you don't want to do something like you don't mean and that's me mommy died therefore they can't always keep it real with me and up man um if you want to talk about 20 22 more fluids more belts more toils that's that's an amateur yeah no i probably stay amateur next year i want to get in as much food well now myself and me coaches will know i'm the type of person to be coach telling me to jump out of a cliff or jump off a cliff not man whatever they say goes you know what i mean that's how much trust are you having ross um like obviously we've had some very talented youngsters coming on the show before and like max's most certainly won them if not like one the best uh what what do you expect from max in sales and 22 as well and uh you you wrap up the show after that as well bud look at all you expect max to go all the way to the top like i think he's leading the next wave of origin made him like there are some phenomenal fighters coming out of this country at the moment amateur level the likes of max ronan deegan ocean fox roy and kill conor mccarthy coyotes all of them like the list goes on and on and on in terms of the amateur scene and like i can't wait to see where these guys go next uh obviously dubois is max's next step that's where allah's focus is going to be now look i'll be i wouldn't be surprised if max went over there uh and won a gold medal and in fact i i expect them to medal at some stage i know that doesn't put any extra pressure on him because he expects to win that's the type of guy he is tell me here look let the boy happen i expect him to go over there and represent himself and his country and his family well and i i think you know sky is the limit for him and i really do mean that it wouldn't matter if you were here or you weren't here or were recording live or you weren't recording live i'd say the same thing to to barry you know i mean like i said earlier you're
