Gerard Burns of Fight Academy Ireland joins The Energized Show eleven days before Brave CF 89 in Tenerife, Spain, where on 19 October 2024 he faces Santiago Pava on a three-fight win streak at bantamweight after Brave would not approve a catchweight. Burns says flyweight remains his home division, that he has won his last two Brave bouts by first-round stoppage, and that his long-term goal is the Brave flyweight world title in a division Brave staff told him has never had a champion. He credits the depth at FAI—including Damien McGuigan, younger teammates, and shared gym momentum—for pushing him, and says a big win could set up a title call-out with a Georgian Brave flyweight he nicknames the bald eagle, with whom he has already traded messages online. Burns confirms Patty Hendrick will be in his corner alongside travelling Burns Army support, notes Paul Hughes fights the same night, and outlines a four-fight remainder on the five-fight Brave deal he signed after winning his Bahrain debut. He ranks beating the recently re-signed Muhammad Mokaev above holding the belt itself, dreams of defending in Belfast’s Odyssey Arena after winning the title, and wants to help bring Brave cards to Ireland so gym mates get opportunities. He describes Pava as a grappling-heavy brown-belt BJJ stylist and says he may attend Cage Conflict 16 - Munera on 2 November.

tell us what you got you has to let the fans know double checking small bit of rice and all the works torital crunch as a must what Sala did you go for that I think that's the real question I get the male Sala with a a little bit of medium G it a nice kick fair fair fair one first one in a long time i' been thinking of it since I've seen Paul's episode maybe next fight do you reckon B might end up on the fight K uh not sure not sure minees minees or Pauls on yours on yours ah that would be that would be good that would be good this is your episode so you know what I mean like we sponsorship on this occasion I think Paul's already going that way anyway yeah I can see it happening but uh Jared H you're going to be fighting in what is it two weeks time uh out in ten uh how much are you looking forward to that and this one's a bantamweight we've seen you flyweight more times than that why is this one a bantamweight is it because you're eating bams um no it's it's just uh the way I came around they offered me a bondon w fight um we try to get it as a catch with and they wouldn't allow it so I'm happy enough to to go for it pretty sure there was no fly BS up up for the up for the challenge and H re yeah tell us this obviously we'll probably see you next time out at Flyway Flyway that's your home isn't it yeah yeah I'm not I'm not I'm not finished not finished there yet and look You've Won your last two Brave fights in absolutely emphatic fashion you've got the first round knockout twice in a row uh unbelievable uh finish his audio um tell us this are you pushing to get a belt put around your wayist at bra yeah well that that's the goal isn't it for every promotion um I'm just pushing to to take all these guys out and see where I can get to and that that's the end goal sort of to take a world title yeah and J and jar from the outside looking in the way you're just like totally taking the brave team by storm the way they're like constantly promoting you um like like since you joined the company and now ahead of your fight on the 19th of October like what way is the company sort of like talking to you about like going towards the belt yeah there's never been a fly with there's never been a fly with champion so I I I never knew that until I was in Bahrain for my first fight and they said there was a curse on the division and I was joking say I'm I'm going to take the curse away so from then I've had I've had a goal to to do that and uh wipe these guys out and become the first champman so division so far so good yeah yeah well you haven't let you haven't put a foot wrong like two first round finishes uh tell us this do you feel like that really makes a statement to them cuz obviously you know a lot of people would say Floy weights wouldn't be known for their finishing power but uh someone forgot to tell that to Jared Burns I a't no ordinary flyweight as you've seen tell us this like obviously the fly weights uh up in FL Academy Ireland are insane H obviously there's yourself you know Kieran cou and Damen mcgan and then obviously there's guys at bamwe as well like how much help is it to have all those smaller bodies up the gym putting in the work amazing uh the let's go on there there's too many names to start start Oliver as well better give him it's incredible I've been there like like said Daman McAn also he he had a fantastic just two weeks back there all those young Lads like they're they're they're years younger than me you know and they're coming for it so so it's sort of pushing me on also and it's great to have them there and all the rest of the team there's just so many guys and we're all bouncing off each other pushing each other on it's amazing thing we have up there it is yeah AB absolutely and there there was a guy uh a Georgian man I don't know if you you've seen him his name is Bina gaves Vil H he's 14 and three from Georgia he's also flyweight in Brave do you feel like a win here and another emphatic finish you could call him out and say me and him for the strap hope so yeah yeah the bald agent I call him is that you're talking right there yeah yeah yeah he's bald he's bald yeah I been in his head after my first fight he replied under one of my um one of my posts prepar to meet the bald e go at the top okay I'll see you there you Bal [Laughter] agent but yeah I think that's GNA happen yeah if I if I don't if I don't get the other bald guy before him one of them I think what we need here we need a bit of help from Phil Campbell on the mic saying uh you know hyping the fight up do you ever have a chat with Phil Campell before you fight on Brave to let let him know what's up ah yeah yeah F's a about yeah yeah he's he's a top guy he's a top guy I'm Fair good guy he is brilliant yeah fair play to fly the flag over there on the on the commentating side of things as well you know what I mean it's a the the one thing I will say about Brave which is pretty cool um maybe enjoy this is obviously they go to now maybe tene isn't quite a good example of this but they go to really obscure locations in Europe for fights do you think that is a quite attractive to fight with brave for that reason they probably go to parts of the world that you never visit yeah of course like it's always been a goal of mind to visit as many countries as possible it's just the perfect opportunity you know without without being this promotion and fighting I would never I would never see half of these companes and so yeah it's a good V it's good part of the package yeah absolutely I know we touched on them earlier but uh you're fighting the same night as uh big news Paul Ed H it's Mass massive knife for the gym that night H and you let us know off air you have patty mcari coming over with you so you're bringing the Heavies with you uh over here how good is it to have some like Patty in your corner ah it's amazing Patty's Patty's one of the main man he's always he's always sort of led the way for us boys you know um brilliant the H I've I've known Hardrick a long time my whole life I've known them really and it's just brilliant to have them there in my corner and they'll be traveling over with me once again toig for his boots now since been on T has he he's tough is it is it just patty coming over with you or is there anyone else coming over yeah well Patty's coming over yeah and there's a lot of support coming over also coming over yeah burn Army the burns Army will be out in force once again absolutely I'm sure all them boys and girls uh absolutely Jared I'm sure it's probably easier to convince people to go to ten reef is it and it's a popular location I've always wanted to go to tenace myself so I'm looking forward to it I must say I love it I love a basma what were you gonna say there no I was going to say uh like with a big Wing win here obviously like I mean you can call for a title shot like the way the company are have been posting you everyone can see it from the outside looking in do you think you could call for a shot like open up in Belfast oh that would be a dream that that is that is sort of where my vision that to be honest I think I would have to win the title first then call a rematch or a you know a title defense in Belfast that's the ultimate gold with bra yeah get bra till the Odyssey Arena yeah also that night Richie small be fighting on the card so there be there'll be plenty of O interest as well so I don't think it' be a bad four to come over to Arland Ross what do you think yeah yeah I'd definitely be here for it I think uh the more promotions that we can get on the island of Ireland the better and uh I think the same way that you know Paul Hues broke down a few barriers for uh Fighters outside of SBG to get on pfl I think uh Jared's breaking down barers uh with brave and he's having he's shown like Fighters that there's different options out there with different fight promotions that you can go make your name with and sometimes we were only saying that one of your teammates tan lockran was fighting over on lfl and when he was fighting over there he was nearly the only Irish person on the card or was one or two Irish people on the card and adds a lot of eyes on you when it's just you or you and another fighter on the card that week as opposed to sometimes sharing a card with 10 other Irish Fighters do you feel that when the sport comes around when you're fighting on Brave that there's a lot more eyes on you because you're the only Irish Fighter fighting on that card yeah yeah it is yeah most of the guys are from over the other St of the world aren't they so yeah yeah that's my goal though the bring it to Bast and give the boys in the gym you know some of they young up coming talent and some other boys the chance to get on the promotion and I believe that's going to happen soon definitely yeah yeah I think be feish not also you know like a touch on there you have Phil Campbell who who will definitely be in the a doing it and all they need is one or two stars like yourself and smallen to really put their best foot forward and show that uh Arnold has the talent in abundance yep yep we all know that it's just a Moder time before we start this Ro in abundance Jerry you're Jerry you're fighting on the 19th of October so for the people tuning in make sure to stick it in the diary uh you're taking on Santiago pava who's on a three fight win streak uh what you know of Santiago um I know he's more he's more grappling based pretty stories of brown Bel jetu um yeah that's all really bit of a wild style um I think he's going to try and initiate the grapplin early when he feels aart If he if he's still there but I'm I'm happy to go anywhere with this guy to be honest you know happy to go anywhere he probably won't want to catch those hands after watching your last two fights yeah that's it yep I'm hopefully he's not watching this or else he might pull L still get a there so yeah B wor B is on a roll at the moment saying the worst things possible for this show we had a CEO bkfc on there last week and he was like oh what Reigns Mar was like bz stop now don't don't put bad on these things I want to see J Burns go in there and get his third first round stoppage in a row 100% man we better get the invite as well we'll be we'll be ruling the Army down the road you may bring the flood with you and uh J you said you want to fight all over the world is there any particular country or venue that you want to see yourself fight in they to say arena in Belfast yeah like uh I definitely see that I can sooner rather than later and uh with brave how long deal do you have with them obviously two fights into it how many more fights do we have with brave signed up for we've got another four fights um four fights yeah I've actually just had one fight of the of that cont cont so four fights left Al so you you R got a one fo contract and then they gave you what six fo yeah man five so I had a one fight contract and Baran and after that I got I got a five fight de so pretty sure they were just getting me over to get beat by that guy in by and didn't didn't work out that way for them exactly no but like even the even the The Fan Fair you had after because everyone knows in irand anytime fa oad fights like the amount the support get is is basically on matched yep there's no support like the AR as used bu know exactly you you better believe it and with that when you were offered the 55 contract uh Brave that that make you feel good that obviously they have a lot of faith in you and like they want to keep you around that make you feel like right this is a good spot for me yeah of course I knew it was the time just to knle down and go at it I knew it was meant for me also because I always sort of envision myself going to brive from an early stage in my amateur career I I always had the promotion in the in the S and when I came around I knew it was it I knew it was I was ready to go time now I know we just spoke about the bald eagle there but uh there is one other famous flyweight in the world who's uh recently resigned with brave H The Undefeated Muhammad MV H how much would you love to get your hands on him Jared uh can't explain how much he he is the angle to beat him I I couldn't care about a world TI to be honest just as long as I get to fight him that would be that would be it for me and and what makes what makes him so such a a massive scalp that you'd love to get just because of his uh his record really you know in his his elator career remember um Glen mcfay a guy used to train in arym h he fought m in his first sh and pro pro fight that's when the first time I heard of this guy and how do we look into his background and seen how how good anom career he had and I just said to myself that day I would love to fight him um so I I Funny Story I always Invision myself going to Bri to beat this guy then he went to UFC so when Bri came about I was like right let's go um now he didn't in Brave all of a sudden because he was winning that much so I know what's going to happen just a matter of time but I'm not not looking past I'm not looking past this guy on the on the 19th of October I'm going to wipe him out first then we'll see what's happening after that so would you rank a Jared Mev The Odyssey Arena and then the brave title is that is that the way you look at it or that's the way I'm looking at it you that' be huge to see it that would be huge I think it would have to beat him first for the title then call the rematch in The Odyssey Arena yeah well look I'd watch that and you can make m versus Burns anywhere in the world and people will be here for and I'm sure bur will be there that's first year absolutely and I'm sure brave would love to pull makv in a title fight and I'm sure him against an norish person like you know you have that Russia versus Ireland again I know I know he's also from the UK but he has that sort of dagani descent I feel like people people will go notes for that even if you want to do Ireland versus England Ed that way people would love it yeah England dagistan yeah SL I don't know whatsin as well is he yeah yeah yeah but look that that's definitely a fight that we want to see Jerry the the promos you cutting the mic as well they went very voral um can we see you do you think we'll see you on the mic a cage conflict 14 on November the 2nd anything's possible I'll be here for I'm sure we'll see cage conflict one where the other H I'm sure you'll be in
