Energized Show countdown interview with Irish atomweight Nadine Abbott-Bissett ahead of her Combate Global pro debut in Miami on 9 September 2022 at the Metropolis Theatre. Abbott-Bissett, introduced as an IMMAF world champion turning pro, says she chose Combate Global mainly because they have a deep atomweight division and could offer multiple replacement opponents after several late changes—Sanchez was injured and she is now set to face Melendez. Her brother Jamie is in her corner after traveling with her to Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, and now Miami; Jamie is also booked to challenge for a flyweight belt on UKFC soon after. She describes pro camp as higher intensity with elbows added, pad work with Neil Theory, and regular sparring against partners roughly 15–20 kilos heavier. She holds a five-fight Combate contract, wants to build toward rankings and a number-one spot, and is unfazed by short-notice opponents because she often learns matchups the night before. She plans to fight her game regardless of changes, expects five-minute rounds to suit her conditioning, and says she is aiming for a rear-naked-choke finish with elbows. She encourages young girls in Ireland to take up MMA and closes by praising the show’s recent Dylan Moore interviews.

Kind: captions Language: en energize show up the irish okay what's going on guys and welcome to a brand new episode of energized rush introduce the chomper today we're bringing in the big guns it is the imf world champion you better believe it it's the backpack it's the dean abba bisset nadine how are you doing pal i like that introduction yet i should look only only the best for yourself you know i mean how to bring a world championship level uh introduction for yourself nadine uh you've turned pro you're in the pro ranks now uh you're going over to miami to fight how are you feeling yeah feeling good can't wait to get over there can't wait to get in there we can't wait to see it perform as well again absolutely buzzing to see get that pro debut under the belt and tell us this um how bosom was your brother jamie that you decided to ask him to come over and do your corner was that a big honor for him now and know the whole thing he's got this year now he went to bahrain he went to abu dhabi no he's miami i'm telling he's living the good luck geez he's like he's like pitbull mr world boy doesn't he living off me though absolutely we absolutely love to see it dean now obviously you've moved and transitioned to becoming a profiler now what has actually changed in your lifestyle now since moving to pro has anything changed in your training or anything at all that's different it's kind of up the intensity now you know adding the elbows and easing makes a big difference now and i've been trying for that been training with a ueo worker and i mean he's been doing pads with me now working on that and him and neil theory been working a lot with now so looking forward to getting in and tell us this um obviously you know you came into this uh pro ranks with the name of reputation being imaf world champion what made you think combati was the right choice for yourself yeah they have a really good atom white division over there so not many promotions have an atomic division on like i'm only walking around that i'm like it's not i don't want to move to strawberry anytime soon so it was at the weight that i wanted on a yeah i decided that was the best choice for me yeah sure you're close closer to birth weight than the rs drawing [Laughter] [Music] was it was it was easy to find an opponent now on the compatible because like obviously you have a big reputation over here in ireland and um like sometimes the girls don't want that nab smoke they didn't want it in america either now and now i had a couple of uh opponent changes here the last few weeks so i uh yeah i wasn't too sure who i was waiting there for a while i was just getting different names kind of hair under your hand he was showing me a few people for a few weeks and they kept falling through and i ended up getting that replacement uh sanchez or something like that and then she was injured next week apparently apparently injured um so and then we have this new opponent yeah so nadine you've had a lot of opponent changes now you're now fighting melendez you were fighting sanchez you're probably fighting someone else in the interim uh just do any of these opponent changes actually affect you or do you just try and be the best version yourself you can be and then you know to show up on the night yeah no i didn't really care like andy was like watching crackers i was like yeah i don't really care like to say yeah to like just let me know when it's confirmed you know oh yeah most of my fights are acting like anyway so like i found out the night before who i was waiting so it doesn't really matter like i'm just kind of gonna do my game plan on that too yeah that's what they say anyone can get that in the medina have a business smoke all you have to do is show up do you have any fear that you might actually fly over to miami and someone might pull out you know what don't change me oh my god it's looking like it because we did see with uh dee begley that our opponent like uh grotesquely missed weight and then she had to hang out hang out there for an extra week is that something you'd actually do just get that fight under the belt if you had to stay out there for another week oh i'd be devastated but it'd have to be done if you're already in miami you know what i mean you can work on the town for a week yeah because carla hands the week after as well so like they really like putting the irish people on the cards they might do that to me just to try again i am very smart idea i absolutely love it are you bringing bring a noise flag over there are you coming here to make a make a statement because um cambodia are after releasing rankings now for certain divisions are you looking to get your name straight in those rankings yeah 100 i was looking at the rankings looking at all the girls in it and yeah get me names straight under and uh work towards that number one spot isn't it yeah absolutely that's how it's done that is how it storm uh we spoke to sean abandoned there recently uh she's only with invicta and she said she wants to go 5-0 and get into ufc do you have a particular amount of wins that you want to get within the next two years or is that something that you draw from yeah so i have a wi-fi contract with a combat so um yeah the five and i would look good i'd love to do a tournament with them what they do to tournaments uh would come back no i think i'd be really good at one of them i've obviously done only my style tournaments like so it's is that the thing with combat that um they actually have a division because that's that's that's the hardest thing you've always found to fight people at your own weight class you've always sort of fought up away class uh or you've had to do on numerous occasions is that something that you find that is one of the main points that you actually saw with them because they actually have women at your weight class sorry it lads me farm wrangler um never stops um yeah it was one of the reason main reason you saw him with kombata is that they actually have your weight class they have women in your division and they seem to have a lot because you know normally when you get a pull out with your weight class that might be game over but on this occasion they had replacement after replacement yeah yeah so they were able to show me like six or seven different opponents so that's six or seven different people there that they have like that cam fight and that's not probably included in who they have ranked as well i thought so like there is a lot i've got some weight so i am looking to get over there and make a statement to get my name in there have they spoken to you about how they plan on like promoting you and like uh developing your career or like what vision they have for being an abasive uh world champ not really though it's just uh just trying to get the fourth way out of the way isn't it after uh after we get this out of the way then then we'll start talking yeah all over here you're here you're here you're not here to take part as norrishman once said you're here to take over uh obviously paula hanna's become quite the star in combati are you looking to emulate that on the women's side of the roster and looking to become one the faces of combatic yeah 100 and i've already got world title their amateur so i'm looking to try to get one now i professional as well and who knows like you could uh enter kombata's uh fitness fighter and uh challenge all the other players to the wall to uh and see if anyone could beat them uncomfortably ireland you're obviously like so experienced at such a young age and going over and representing ireland and multiple imf's like is this just does this just feel like another competition for you or getting sort of like extra special about this i know it's your proud debut but like do you actually see it in any way sort of different as your regular competitions well i'm just looking at it as underfoot like i've gone over like i've went over i've traveled to abu dhabi around bahrain like i've done it all and now it's miami isn't it so just looking to go over let's get that w exactly and obviously you know fitness has never been an issue with yourself but what do you think about moving into the five-minute rounds do you think that benefits yourself do you think that gives you that bit longer time in the cage to get the job done uh how does that transition from three minutes to five minutes gonna affect you yeah and i think it's gonna benefit me um i have a really good gas tank but yeah the five minute rounds haven't really been a problem to me so looking forward to it down to five minutes now i suppose you could be on someone's back for five minutes now instead of three minutes longer time more damage yeah absolutely hang out for three minutes you'll have to hang out for five minutes suddenly no no i hope ross you should know us firsthand uh for the people actually tuning in now nadine is fighting on the 9th september in the metropolis treaty and nadine for people just listening now how are they going to be able to tune in and watch you uh take another scalp so i'd say i'm gonna have to link up on my instagram on facebook this week and come back global usually have it on the facebook page a live link so i'll share with them this week everyone guest horn and nadine obviously you're one of the faces of uh women's mma in ireland what would you actually say to a young girl who's i'm like one of the faces won the face now there's a few decent girls in there flying the flag what would you actually say to a young girl who was thinking oh maybe i'll start doing mma i'll tell them 100 they should join like it's great you're saying they're at the world star all the kids it was mainly all the while picking up the medals again and this time i think world championships there it's a great sport to do and uh yeah it's only gonna get bigger and better and i think all the girls now coming through like everyone like he likes to show on a theory then like you have the younger girls coming through then as well yeah shout out to all the coaches who went over as well they they all did an incredible job and all the kids seem to have a great time so uh we we love to see it we love to support our own we'd love to see you over there putting dean tell us this come fight now how does the dean have a biscuit get the job done we're a naked joke that's that's that's what we'd love to see our tko from the back oh yeah are we going to see a few elbows in this fight is that the plan like one of the main reasons why we're big fans of yours is like like you know i mean you're as confident as anything then like also you've like all the accolades behind you and you've come fully true to the eye masks and it's um i know it's just cool to see and like we can't wait to see it perform on the day make a debut and hopefully combat a global understand what like sort of personality and athlete they're getting as well yeah yeah now i'm looking forward to getting there yeah i'm not gonna lie that that confidence like where does it come from does that come from the preparation because like i feel like when we ask you a question like you answer it with such certainty it's not like yeah oh well you know i think you've got to go in there and go back to like here you're like you say what you're going to do but like it's different to when other people enter it it's it's really like no that's what's going to happen as if as if like it was a street matter of fact in the first place yeah we shouldn't even have around for an interview like i was confident that i'm gonna get done like i put the work in i put the work in every night in the gym and like the main training partners were all like 15 kilo probably just is the smallest bigger than me like 15 20 kilo bigger than me and i'm giving it to them like so i don't care who i don't care your own fight on the night like that you better believe it sure look you know what he thought her rear naked choke was uh go before she's got smaller gloves on there so she's got it i love it yeah how much are you looking for with this because uh this was the pro debut that we were waiting for after she won the world championships there was nothing else that she could really do yeah i know we we had an idiot on a while ago and like she was saying she was probably going to wait a year or two but then after she got to win ukfc it was just like she was ready to go i feel like we're talking about her so she's not here but like it's like she is ready to go an idiot like i think everyone's everyone can't wait to see it like obviously like there's a lot of it's a male dominated team that you're part of and you're smashing all them up so you're just gonna pass on the smash smash yeah absolutely i think when you're when you're stuck at that amateur and you're having to fight up somebody who's thinking i was heavier than you on a constant basis it's probably that time turn pro on what a way to go over and do you're going to do it in miami in in style you know jamie's still riding your hotels but we won't give him too much grief over that and uh i also believe a shout out to him he's going over to fight on ukfc he's going to see if he can pick up a flyweight belt over there so shout out to james so we're going to fly home that week and then we're going to fly straight over back to dublin and the next day fly over to ukfc all right yeah i think i might bring my belt with me as well uk be careful though because they might want they might want a back or something it's gonna be very sunny over there nadine have you got any glasses you're gonna be wearing over there all right you're just gonna go with it going out yeah we expect to see a photo we expect you to wear them for the walk out that's what we want to see the energy glass for the walk out with the arlo you'd be more memorable with them you'd be more memorable with them campbell mclaren be like oh she knows the energies guys like obviously we speak to you a good bit you're trying to go a bit with ross as well and uh like having you on for an interview it's sort of funny because it's just like here look we just want you on and we want people to know you're going to put on a show on the night of september on compatibility global and you're going to be able to get the link through nadine's facebook or instagram so it's uh the countdown's on and uh we can't wait to see you perform and we know you're just
