[Music] en sh up the Irish time okay what's going on guys and welcome to a brand new episode of energized brought to you by Forest Irish St Ross are you intoxicated or something introduce the guest man today we are bringing you the UFC Bantam away from Ireland everyone's favorite lock round brother it's kayin kayin how you doing board good lad how are you yeah not bad not bad Kaylin H you're back booked in UFC Atlantic City you know you're repping that that uh Irish flag for the 135s uh how much forward how much are you looking forward to getting that job done in there H I can't wait lot I cannot wait to send this into uh the other night if you're a football player or you're some like other sport you might take a loss and the next week you compete again you go out and you're back in the wind column and it's you're going to move forward but in fighting it was September 2nd the whole way through the March 30th walk around in my in my opinion walk walk around a loser like you're as good as your last one so that's uh that's not easy it's good it's it's a good it's a good one way when you're training stuff but it's not easy so really really really really looking forward to compete I uh I can't wait I can't wait obviously you just said there you felt like you're walking around a loser and uh you've not really been a loser at any stage in your life uh obviously your fight before that you you were lifting World titles above your head H how much effect did that loss have on your mental health none absolutely none with fact with mental health but uh it's was just uh it's not like I have watched back teris fight I think it's a very good argument that I won the fight if I'm being 100% honest people talk about damage but he actually didn't do any damage in round two or three at all there's no there is no damage like but if you think you won I'm not salty let it was a close fight I understand you think he would have no arguments but it more of the performance H I didn't fight well of course it was a l change of very different style which isn't ideal but still uh I didn't I didn't perform well and that's just h no effect on no no no effect on my mental health that but like H just air hitting just uh I just want to comp l i I want because I say I've been out TR the UFC guys recently been over in America stuff I know my level I know how I can handle handle USC B it's like it's just H that doesn't matter one one bit the gym doesn't matter one [ __ ] cage Warriors to me there that winning that title is like maybe when I'm 60 I can look back on that but like at the minute that's man it's the UFC and has always been the UFC you know I'm not here like to [ __ ] be a Mike Perry or a [ __ ] Kevin Holland and people laugh at me in the ways but I get well I don't win that's not that's not what I'm about l so I just want to compete and I want to win I I I want to win I'm all I'm I'm all business this time no [ __ ] talk I don't say up don't say I can but like in the to the last fight like the way you sold it was just like so entertaining like the whole country was like like for the people that didn't know yet they were like who's this guy and I'm definitely tuning in to watch him but then obviously you had like a short notice like replacement like when that happens on fo week before your UC debut like like what sort of ghost are youre no I was thinking [ __ ] it I'll beat him no problem so I was thinking her I should have known LA to be honest don't know why I didn't know him he' been in the US I know every bate like regionally on us see I don't know why I didn't don't know why I didn't know him I should have known him H I talk the I I was well actually was relatively short it was my us day was five weeks in of itself but at a training camp I Tred to go I wanted to compete when I came to the Tuesday I was like [ __ ] it if you don't bring in Sean M I'll fight him no problem fight anyone in this division tomorrow no problem so I had no doubts that b him it wasn't ideal in hindsight I probably should have been more [ __ ] nervous for him but uh not ideal not how I like to prepare um I like very specific and that's one thing of taken from Henry out there is how we're doing K is correct how specific he prepared Was preparing for morab was really cool really cool to see so when the point like if he's doing this Camp from morab now if you just a switch up in your fighting I don't know def say [ __ ] Cory Sagen it would definitely throw him off you know what I mean like it's not and I was saying the guy run and he missed we on the he run on because he never he signed a fight for UFC bate but he never fought bate ever this guy in fighting has never fought a bate his Instagram bio the we were saying is UFC feather it yeah he's come down from late with on his Contender series at FEA it he looked like death warmed up like I don't know is it going to happen again I hope not but if it happens it happens you what I mean at least at least you'll be used to it then yeah and that that is one thing uh kind of touch on like some people obviously youut you know you have big uh grapefruit balls on You by getting in there and fighting someone that at at the last minute because we we've seen it before like we've seen you know Jon Jones one of the greatest all time you know he was supposed play John Henderson that UFC 151 and then he turned down uh CH on at last minute so and again like there like obviously different skill sets but like they they were both sort of wrestling backgrounds and he still turned it down because it was a different fight so you know you have to say fair play to for getting in there with the change of opponent and a harder opponent as well a much harder opponent that last much harder opponent uh honestly I've got two bonuses from the UFC discretionary bonuses like surprised since the part like in the month two months after the par show for taking it which was cool two so they won't no my coach didn't even know like nobody told me about it was [ __ ] deadly just your bank count woke up and locked at the [ __ ] bank account twice [ __ ] and one more for the bad guy well then I know you've got this fight and for being 100% honest Angelo was tough not overlooking very tough guy but he lost in the contender series like so I feel like that decision was the correct decision had I have turned down terapis and then there was two three fights down was relying on that I got the Wonder Bo sh cat treatment do you know what I mean 100% no question so I'm happy I made that decision I could be sitting here one and0 with a win over Yannis gamore who by the way has taking another fight as at Bantam what the [ __ ] is that about why would they do that I could sitting here one and0 a lot of hype after beating yianis kamor maybe get another good fight keep then to go down the line and fight someone like a San haen and I haven't learned the lessons that I learned from the lais fight I'm H bman for and I'm very happy it happened very very very happy it happened well that's that's good to hear uh Kayan then after the fight um you're after going over to tray M Henry Cudo in fight ready in Arizona how did that come about uh so we have guys com to K all the time there boys there's Boys in Fr new boys coming this week three Italians come for this camp for me now from from Bator uh and there's a guy in he's like a mutual friend taon Williams he's a division one all americ he's five and0 Pro now I believe M memin Masters and he was training over there and uh he was talking about howu was taking him in for morab and stuff and it was that go back and forth and then he got then I was trim him and he got Santino on to me he's like you want to get this guy in basically and uh that just came then I started matching stino like would you could could I come and stuff like this here and then I did and they put me you know L were so like my expectation for a gym like that was I'll go out there it's probably if you're like if you're a Welter something's probably kill Cliff if you're my size I'd say that's probably the best gym in the world at the minute to be honest some of the name like it's crazy my expectation was I'll get unbelievable rounds no one will give a [ __ ] about me they won't put any time in me but I'll be pushing myself against UFC fighters all the time I couldn't have been more wrong it was purely it was the like well first of all they put me in house in Parise volley for a month which is [ __ ] nuts for free which is like so good to them then I would train Santino would see how much like I'm actually listen to him like I want to learn I'm here with just open mind I'm here to just get better and I would practice what he was doing so he would put a lot of time in me the session would end and then they would take me for one to ones in the evening or one to ones after the class one the one coaching it was h i was unbelievable and then as said it was a lot of UFC guys a lot of UFC BS and flys got to show my level to them guys got to mix it up and stud and just trying just just trying level up L I'm really happy on it you know what I mean really really happy on great experience one of the things I'm really happy when I went but I'm also really happy St on I'm back with my team and car I mean yeah and then Ross like Henry cejudo is known for known for his coaching like obviously he's back now he's going to be fighting in UFC 298 but uh he's known for his coach like uh like so like Russ when when you when when you saw Ken go over there like what were your expectations first of all I thought about like the two personalities going Toe to Toe cuz uh you know you have you have the the king of cringe versus like one of the realest guys you'll ever beet like you know Kayla Kayla tells how how he sees it you know what I mean so I was like I want to have like an on starwise but I always knew H say what you want about uh you know K Colin St you know I mean and I've heard from people who aren't his coach just they say he's a tough [ __ ] and they say he works hard that's the two things I always hear when I hear coaches talk about K LR and uh I knew if he's going over there he's going to put in the work and like you said he wants to be a sponge over there so I was buzzing to see it um did you did you get to get many rounds in with with the the champ champ not too many because get very specific but uh it was good because the first day I landed I goes when when we sporing when we sporing like because I I is one of my favorite fighters ever like I didn't say it to him in person like and we we sat there and we're talking about who's the greatest of all time and he wanted me to say him but I didn't say I made an effort to I even say Demetrius but I was kind of thinking you are one of the best he is one of my favorites yeah but uh this is going truth I landed I go when are we Spa he goes oh you don't want this smoke you don't want this smoke and then for like three days then I was just he be he got he got quite to be honest cuz he was like one day he was like facing his coaches and I was coming down doing the class I goes as he kept pointing to the Keys and go let's go let's go and he's getting thick of me but uh no there a lot to taking even like conversing with a guy like who's been through what he's done watching him drill watching him leave the mod go do his S andc no he uh he was good to me now and uh they all were the coaches it was uh really like Santino and the boxing coaches and all those guys that were good then the guys he had in for the Olympic Olympic R and stuff I got good rounds with them guys I was in with UFC B every every day so now I was it was good but uh glad very glad they back team K preparing for this G you know what I mean very very glad the team I've got two questions for you Ken like first one is would you go out there again a train and second of all did Henry give you one of them cushions with your face on it h no he didn't uh I would def I will go out again 100% but I'd say I'd want it I'd want it be a distance from from a fight if I'm going to be honest I like preparing how call prepares h a lot some people just find a click and I have my click and C four corners but h no he didn't to be honest he's not he's quite he's quite civil in person so he's not really like that he's not really like that uh he's not going to walking in [ __ ] cushions is he the the cring comes out during fight week yeah yeah yeah no I'm a big fan of him and uh you could see this some of the like the the effort he puts in the prepare for a fight is uh ahead of the game ahead of the game like Colin was always on the tell and Tom to like Source guys from around the world and was paying that Bo good de and he I was living with them like it was crazy so uh now he's he's in the position he's in through hard work and intelligence like it's no FL I mean yeah no like no one ever doubts his work e think as well like you don't become an Olympic gold medalist and then a champ champ like me like my TR hard oh man I love it um did did team kbon recently get done up as well K oh it's completely so we've come together with four corners but that's been about a year now so like John Gilly you see like Liam hor and all these guys come in the gym strike but uh they've doubl in size they had one like huge floor they literally double it they bought the floor beneath the m is the setup is like literally amazing like amazing one of it probably is the best G been in h but I been going out since Christmas the literally double the size War it's class class setup now yeah no it looks great yeah it's unbelievable h b I need to know this we're talking about on a you asking K what he preferred and there was reason behind it I was in the dark so what's this all about oh yeah I actually near forgot fair play to no um from watching kayin stories on his way home from Arizona God K in he obviously booked in uh the flo to Manchester so I asked kayen where is his favorite Manchester in England or in America can you tell us the story both [ __ ] hes I said I [ __ ] do you know what it was that I was [ __ ] I was going the start first week of January I what was the fourth or something I was going from Dublin I com straight from Christmas Dublin to Phoenix Arizona so I went I booked it and I went Dublin to C like Charlotte Cleveland this we tiny [ __ ] airport Charlotte Cleveland to Phoenix Happy Days and on the way down I was in about L Direction going to Dublin and my go [ __ ] you need to you need to get your left home for American Customs or your flight home to prove you not like stand legally boo it what a Google [ __ ] Phoenix to Manchester so there was [ __ ] Phoenix to this be same [ __ ] airport Charlotte Charlotte to Manchester I thought [ __ ] I'm saving myself a couple hundred quid here ended up in [Laughter] Boston go I to spend the extra day in Boston then cost me a fortune I got from Boston to Manchester R but we made it anyway ah canly that was that that was as we would say sloppy a costly ER I'm not gonna lie oh stop I'll take cost few quit as well costly super shl look did you get a few rounds in with Sean Brady while you were there no do you know where I did go though Peter Welsh Jim in in Boston so I've actually look I've looking to go there for about [ __ ] 10 years so it actually every CL is silver Lin it was deadly it was a deadly deadly gym deadly to see it most expensive train day of your life it literally it literally cost me about a grand to go to that gym but it was worth it [Laughter] unbelievable stuff unbelievable stuff but uh Kayla tell us this what do you know about your your opponent this time out and uh does he offer you much I know obviously he fought in the contender series he's lost probably very lucky man to to be get getting an opportunity to F someone like yourself um I'm 0 And1 Lads I'm in no one position to be called or de I am I said it I'm a loser here minute that's my mentality towards is I have to win I think it's the way I should be approaching it honestly like should should I be losing this kid no I should not be losing this kid should I have a tough fight with this kid no has he got holes yes is he a bitable yes but I'm an own one last I listen actually listen interview him and he disrespectful of me I thought come on here like you I've earned my place here have you truthfully you got your best attribute was he got he's good at getting a [ __ ] hidden in the in the contender series but uh I'm own one Lads I'm just here to win you know what I mean I'm here to [ __ ] start the show what I can do and uh I have never been I'm like measured but coming after coming home and being with UFC guys every day and seeing how far some of the some of the best bandes there are I've never been more confident in my life got like a bz about me in the gym with minute I just I'm happy um but I'm also very very very aware that I'm on one and I have to show it on fight night so I can be the best in the [ __ ] world the next eight weeks what matters is March 30th at about 800 PM Atlantic City time and I I'm going to shine I'm going to shine that's it yeah no we we agree like that's why people tuning in now have to make sure to check out k f on March 30th in Atlantic City and so Reese mck is going to be in the card as well so like Irish IRS are going to be Glu to this one Ross yeah absolutely yeah my final question for you K on is H do you have a walk out tun and will the UFC actually bother to play for you this time you know what I don't hold that the UFC if I had a won that have been the best promotional tactic ever if I that no Walker that been that have been so sick but I'm going with dreams Crown I was meant to be the walk out originally but uh you know what l i that was that was the best experience in my life like see sitting when I was home at Christmas and I sitting me like at at the bar talking with [ __ ] that walk out like 20,000 people is I'll take out to the Grave like so I actually thought you did it on purpose at the time I was like I was I was like oh that was such a cool move like what a move I know it plan but honestly didn't I didn't know was happening yeah I thought it was like the way remember Darren t he was fighting was he fight thought the Apex was that was that Apex are you sure that was in the Apex yeah yeah the Apex no was it not for o no it yeah yeah so there was no fans there so um there was no he didn't walk out any tune but kayin you're obviously a very busy man we like we want to thank you for coming on the show like you know myself and Ross big fans yourself H is there anything else you want to say to the people tuning in that are going to be watching you fighting atantic City but uh no just tune in and everyone remember what you said when I lost and I'm [ __ ] and I'm a bum and uh I've seen it all I seen it all so keep the same energy can't wait to see then also actually one while you're there one last shout out for uh tan who's making his uh Pro debut next month up in cage conflict well man I'm sure you look forward to that one too absolutely can't with yeah well Kanan thanks very much for your time we're gonna let you get on with the rest of your day okay so Ross that was The Dawn yeah what a character massive man um look like I said on the show I'll say when he's not here as well you know he he thought he could say he talks trash I think he actually just gives his honest opinion I think that's where uh people don't like it people are probably not as willing to be as honest as he is but uh you know like he has the skills to pay the bills um he was phenomenal in cage Warriors his last fight obviously didn't goes away but like he was fighting really really tough opposition and look for me like I can't wait to see go back in there get the opportunity to write that wrong because uh I think he's more than capable of mixing up there with the best in the bwe division no definitely um it was just remember when he came out on stage last time giving the fingers to the fans the middle finger to the fans and um the MMA community did like but a lot of fans that check it out were just like oh they hate this guy and hopefully he loses but like when you when you go out and do something like that if it doesn't go your way people are going to come out for you but uh as PA as they say he's eating the crow like you know what I mean like he's he's like he's like I'm a loser right now I'm own one like I I don't have like a leg s on at the moment so like I just have to go out there and prove everyone wrong this time you know what I mean so I I think he's handled it very well and I don't think he's like I don't think he's actually made very many excuses I think like when we talk about like opponent changes and sty changes and like level of opponent changes and stuff that I think were there saying that like that's like honesty that's that's not like an excuse or whatever because uh look he gave uh lapas like an unbelievable fight last time out yeah but the way see the way he's saying he's a loser like I mean maybe that's the mentality he has to have going into this Camp being like maybe put himself back in the straight and narrow because obviously he would like before that fight he was lifting the cage warri total in Rome and went on a like a an orish tour almost to uh with the belt and saying he was a loser like I don't see him as a loser at all I'm like like a bit like geez if he's a loser what does that make rest most people you know what I mean like he's like like we said his last fight he went and lifted a cage wire's World TI L's head in enemy territory as well like that's the absolute opposite Loser yeah well that's the thing about K they don't call him the bad guy for nothing but speaking of bad guys Ross we have to welcome in the one and only it's over on OT baby the Welsh ganger is here The Baddest of Them All what's up and one more for the bad guy who's the baddest of them all oh it's definitely Oban Elliot oh mirror mirror on the wall Ohan that fight you had in Dame wise Contender series like I I stayed up watched it like it was uh on it was unreal man it was Unreal if you're going to put this man the world gangster in a coffin you better nail it short because if not he's coming back for you baby exactly oh did I not say that before the [ __ ] fight boys that man I've heard about a million Fighters come out with the line and it's always [ __ ] I'm willing to die in there no one is willing to do that except for idiot exactly yeah of course you are you willing to die you willing to die you get clipped and then next thing you know you're intelligently defending yourself when really you're saying ref please make him stop hitting me there's no such thing as intelligently defending yourself because as soon I've I've been there as soon as you do this you if you guard up it's like well the ref is like the jumps in I've been at you know what I mean like I did it with [ __ ] um yeah both of my losses he's like defend yourself and I'm like I'm fine I'm fine all right okay I'll defend myself fight get stopped so that that when I was like [ __ ] this I'm not letting that happen again you [ __ ] having it mate as soon as I [ __ ] like when you going back out saying you're willing to D stuff the way the camera zoomed up in your face and the way you got it done like what was the emotion like after that bu ah M I'm still riding it now I I literally just watched it funnny enough um people were sharing the clip and like [ __ ] me mate literally I literally stood up and the reason I did that I put my arms up it's because he was like hanging off the [ __ ] octagon breathing so I thought right I'll show the judges what the crack is now so I stood up like hands out remember like Pereira did against adna where he's like yeah that so I just stood up looking at him like this and then he faced me and then I that's when I said to him I'm ready to die boy so [ __ ] was mate I swear to God I would have never I wouldn't been able to live with like the the F but of course I'd live with it but that the it would have been a massive there would have been so much [ __ ] anger if that ref stopped that fight I would have been like fuming until until I until I got there again you know so yeah and then after then after fight sorry R let's you jump in now after the fight Oban what did did you think you were actually going to get the contract as well because a lot of times I totally forgot that that was even a factor yeah I was walking around there like yes it's good to be yeah [ __ ] hell it's good to be here it's good to be here and then they [ __ ] walked me around and then the Stalls and I was like oh yeah this part now and then she didn't get one next to me I was like oh no I think it was Daniel Cormier saying that he didn't think that like you're going to get it well what does he know anyway what does he know playing double champ that was nothing ah did why did he say that yeah were you like right think he must have um he must have like gone out the bat and got some popey's chicken in for the third round or something I know man I was like he has to get it he has to get it like that was I think it was because we had you and George on in the buildup and then the week before George lost and then the way you came and done that it was um I was like you have to give this is this guy is a real this guy is 100% a fighter that deserves it after that performance and I mean look I guess like I got hit with a big shot and you know what the DC say it's like a because I and obviously I sold myself after in the interview and he's like yeah well toughness and trying hard doesn't get you a contract but like you've only got to look at like the the sheen fight right before that like look how good I was in that fight you know yeah yeah but there there's a difference between toughness and then like the mentality that you show in that fight is is is a different gravy like we've seen people who are is that not a bare minimum like I don't think if that was the bare minimum I don't think a lot of people would actually uh make it because I don't think people have the actual mental strength and capacity to eat some of the shots of the U and keep on coming forward you know well if they don't mate then they don't want to get [ __ ] locked in a cage of me put it that way yeah that's that's true you know I mean as the say go minimum that's my bare minimum as the saying goes uh OB it's not B hard you can hit it's hard you can get hit and keep moving forward how much you can take and keep moving forward that's how wi is done and then and then look what happens what's after happening next U see 298 in Miami when when you got that phone call then Oban like like Sur must have been chuffed getting getting on a pay-per-view card I was I just laughed just because uh yeah [ __ ] H look at it man pay-per-view debut January so I was thinking a they're going to Chuck me they're going to Chuck me in the [ __ ] apacks for January I me because I'm just a little detin who like nearly got knocked out in his Contender series fight now straight down the pay-per-view straight in the Red Corner [ __ ] great you know like what a pay-per-view it is like you're on there with you know volkanovski pound-for-pound one of the best of all time Robert Whitaker Henry cejudo you know what I mean like it's G's on the card as well the ha one of the most talked about forers on the UFC roster at the moment you know so like it's an absolute Whopper card and uh you know you have the capability over seeing the show both inside and outside the octagon and I you know I'm [Laughter] gonna they'll be able to catch it on it should be it should be on the uc5 pass shouldn't it yeah yeah hopefully yeah so it's actually it's actually a great time as well for the audience like over prime time UK time is it it's like 11:30 and the fury fight's not even going ahead now so there's no chance of anyone missing it exactly they get like the people yeah you know this is just this is just what I've always um expected on myself like and and to be honest right I you probably couldn't have got a way he was saying this um a couple of years ago because it's such a cliche but do you know who I look up to the most is Conor McGregor because like he literally I'm like step one or step two into the plan that he completed kind of thing so like I've always like imagined and visualized and believed I would be in this position right and like I've got my foot fot on the ladder and I think that's just remarkable the fact that I've even got this F like of course I knew it and expected it of myself but if you think about it right how many kids sit there and [ __ ] actually achieve what they set out to achieve not that many so like I'm there calling my shop from a young age I'm teachers telling me [ __ ] I'll do a real sport kind of thing listen to school because that sport is nonsense and now look at me so like in terms of uh in terms of that like you look up you know bro boys I can't put it into [ __ ] words it's n it's I'm so grateful I'm not like oh look at me I'm the man I should have always been yeah I am the man but like come on I'm grateful for this you know what I mean I'm grateful for this I'm not just gonna just sit here and and feed you full of [ __ ] saying oh yeah it's about time like yeah it's about time but in the same breath it's [ __ ] I'm very grateful to be doing this like of all the MMA fighters that dream are fighting in the UFC I'm making my debut on a [ __ ] pay-per-view card in Los Angeles California this scumbag from a council house who used to Nick out the [ __ ] shop for his for his lunchtime because you didn't have any change I look at me I know we've been following you for ages B and then like when you get pulled straight onto a pay-per-view card like it it means the the UC mean business don't they Russ yeah definitely like they're they're definitely I put it this way uh Val wurn lost his last fight to b nickel uh like I don't think they're like you know what we give Val W burn the shot on the pay-per-view card I think oban's the aside coming into this fight he's the one with the upstart too and also I do think I know you referred to it there that there's like a t of Conor like you know similarities to the Way Conor McGregor done it and like he could be an inspirational figure but like there is something to be said that you know um at the moment there only sort of you and Jack sha flying that Welsh flag in Wales and and like at the end of the day like there's a whole nation in Wales to get behind you guys and make you guys to be big Superstars the way the Irish got behind Conor and it's it's it's the way they saw the Irish get behind Connor is what made everyone else fall in love with them and it's the same thing that happened that if it not only all the Welsh actually get behind you but if people can see the wellsh get behind you that's what will turn you into Superstar because then the Americans will go geez that W fell is mad bastard let's support him as well and that's that's that's what you need you want the American Buy in but it has to come from your hometown Buy in first I guess yeah and and they I think they are going to think that same here there's nobody [ __ ] there's nobody like me boys and no there's definitely not like we must been few thousands of Fighters This stage oh like yeah you stick I'm not trying to be anyone it's this is just it's just H I open my [ __ ] mouth and I say the right thing that's meant for the fight game I don't think or read off [ __ ] scripts or anything like that I'm me and mate I've I've demanded to be here do you know what I mean I've demanded it and I [ __ ] I I messed up in cage war was a little loss here and there but I never ever ever let anything get me down and I [ __ ] got here so now I'm here you're gonna need a [ __ ] Army to get rid of me put it that way you not it's not gonna be oh yeah nah and I'm on the you know what I mean I'm on the you think I'm going backwards now you're [ __ ] mad there's no way there's no way it is just I get fired up talking about it because I'm just I'm about to do everything I always knew I do and and there's not a [ __ ] man that can stop than stop that can stop what's about to happen I genuinely believe that you know it's [ __ ] amazing it's amazing and you as you say for the the fan base we [ __ ] Wales play rugby down there ,000 full can't get a ticket so imagine if we can get you know the MMA can and it already is you know what I mean I'm the [ __ ] I'm the Talk of the Town so like imagine if MMA can get that kind of popularity which I hope I can and bring especially in the valleys and that it's like mate I'll have the UFC [ __ ] it look at me before I be a debut saying [ __ ] like that get it off your chest over man this is ter this is I won't be impressed with the rail service now if there's not uh posters of Oban Elliot on on the inside and outside of every train like that yeah I want to see Step at the platform me like that I want to see you doing it in your UFC gear and like what a side by side in your rail gear but [Laughter] hey I'm in the oranges boys I don't [ __ ] about man at that man honest working class man like what more do you want what am I going to do now just go t around wearing [ __ ] Louis Vuitton on tick and get someone [ __ ] taking pictures of me in the gym I granted I've got that sash shots fair play to him but mate n no you're smashed oh man you're absolutely smashing it and you're a quality character even even when you fought in cage Warriors in Dublin and you be like team Royo James Sheen yeah like the fans still like they like a lot of the time like Irish fans would be against whoever they're if they're fighting an Irish person but after I think he won over the fans as well which was great to see I hope I did I hope I did mate because like of all the people to fill in right [ __ ] you know James sh what and it's just as I said he's the right guy in the right place he's at the wrong time and I hope now he gets the title fight he actually messaged me the other day A nice message and I said you get the title shot you deserve it so yeah as you say I've order the people to [ __ ] beat a fight on his own turf like you know it happened to it happened to him which you know [ __ ] happens then it I'm sure I've got a [ __ ] ass kicking coming for me at some point so I'm I mean like it all comes back around I'm not stupid just not Miami baby oh Los Angeles all right Sor Los Angeles apologies no sorry 299 is Miami apologies yeah thenan like I know you're I know you're like you're very busy so we'll we'll let your head on now in a second but the thing is you're obviously taking on Val Woodburn what do you actually know about Val and when you got this name what were you sort of thinking M honestly right if I could if I had something to say about him I'd say it but um I just wish I what do I think about Val bur it could honestly he he is so he feels so irrelevant to what's going on in my mind right now you know good luck to him but he's yeah he ain't got a [ __ ] chance but way so I got say about him unbelievable unbelievable and tell us this obviously you're fighting basy or so the world will they're uh will a Welsh Army be traveling across with you or they will be yeah they we got like there's like 30 30 people coming 30 gangsters there's oh yeah all in h no we're actually gonna wear we're going to wear American flags because of um the passing of the late great Apollo Creed yeah that um I might do something about that but yeah there's a lot of people lot of the boys coming my family is coming my mother's coming so it's um n it's a this is like the most surreal surreal [ __ ] every time I wake up I'm like what the [ __ ] honestly too good if it was too good to be be true at this point it's [ __ ] nuts I know the odd time CH onen works the desk for ESPN would would be crazy if you saw CH on over there and yeah I think well what's his name told me the other that uh Shan shien said that he works a desk for the pay-per-views is that right yeah well boys imagine that yeah what what like obviously I'm looking forward to your fight but I'm also looking forward to the post fight speech as well on the mic that is going to be pure entertainment yeah oh mate ah there's nothing I could possibly tell you right in this podcast right now that is going to do what you will see from myself next Saturday Justice it's you will all sit there and look at yourselves and think oh my [ __ ] God he's the man now this is all of literally you could [ __ ] send King Kong in there with me you can send Godzilla when you ask me about Valwood burn mate yeah you can think whatever like whether he thinks I'm [ __ ] looking past him looking through him underestimating him you saw in my last fight what I'm about when it comes to fighting so yeah couldn't give a [ __ ] what he thinks you put anyone in there right they are [ __ ] they are absolutely [ __ ] simple as that you can't go up against the fair enough put me there put me there and bang the nail in the box and yeah you'll finish me off but unless you do that you haven't got [ __ ] chance me not against everybody else saw now you know yeah well that's why you have to make sure to check out Oban OT make his UC debut in Los Angeles at UC 298 on February the 17th

be in touch with you shout out to everyone that follows out the obia train cuz uh they always get in touch with us after you come on the show and they're big fans but thank you very much for your time Oban all aboard the Oban Ali Express let's go so R Us the Welsh gangster is he your favorite Welsh gangster ah Oban Elliot he's such a character he's just someone I love getting on the show uh you know we're going to be entertained and I think if we're entertained that means the people at home who are watching entertained he is an absolute character and look I hope he has all the success uh he has the heart of Loy so can't wait to see it yeah you can't you canot you definitely cannot question his heart um also over the weekend Ross nardine imov off be the Le a boy decision but also on the card we have to talk about meall Molly mccan she got the victory she got a boy submission and then after the fight she dedicated the win to Ryan Curtis first of all watching make a M's win and second of all all what you make of the way she dedicated to Ron Curtis yeah um first of all the win itself like um like that was an absolutely unbelievable arm bar it was absolutely like sort of technique 101 for it as well sort of grab the body back towards the hip and put it on there you know my my blue belt says it was perfect so yeah unbelievable win from I think she need I think uh that should silence a lot of doubters I think uh she her judu got heavily criticized for her last loss and I think uh this time out her going getting the win I thought she looked phenomenal at wein as well I thought she absolutely looked shredded I think 115 is her weight class H I think obviously she's well she always seems to be shorter fighting at 125 and uh I think her limbs are a bit on the shorter side of things so I think at 125 or 115 she I think is her H Division I think at strawweight so I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for um and she is one of those voiders that if she can string three or four wins together she has the name recognition to go towards a title shot sooner than most so uh definitely something i' looking out for and then I suppose dedicating the the win to royan CD is like we all know Molly MC is absolute salt to the Earth person um she's one of the nicest people that we've ever had in the show um she's super sort of blue color type of character big fan and obviously H one of her closest training Partners is leam mccort H leam mccort is obviously Incredibly Close to running Curtis and uh I'd say that's where Molly probably met Ryan and uh she's a member of the chaos cartel and uh she dedicated the win had the or Troy color and Thea uh chaos cartel H top there to wear afterwards so fair play to Molly and that was a perfect weekend and to top top things off 50gs in the back pocket as well with a win bonus yeah um for people Shing in as well on that card ke for Crosby was actually meant to be on that card um what do when would you would like to see ke R next and against who yeah I think it all comes down to how healthy his back injuries or not um I know he's doing a seminar soon for Ryan Curtis in hun martial arts so uh fair play to kefir another salt to the Earth character um I'd love to see him made again soon um I feel like that win for gimbo is going to excel him I'm not saying kefir couldn't fight him at some stage I just feel like that win for gimbo and then he was saying he wants to be Champion by the end of the year I don't think all of a sudden grimbo is going to be fighting someone like that I think he's he's going to be fighting someone who has a few wins in the UFC uh kefir obviously uh all one he came in on short notice I'd like to see him maybe fight Pete Rodriguez the guy who uh who grimbo just fought there and I think that could be someone of that L could be a nice match up bit like having Kalin on earlier you know I mean he's own one at the moment so is key for in the UFC let him uh fight someone who is maybe 0 and0 or on one one fight into the UFC tener themselves yeah I'd agree and then this weekend Jack manon's taking on Joe poer who you have actually for this one well I think I'm gonna go for Joe fer me and bar actually do like picks each week on uh on who wins and uh you have to be like Joe so I'm going to pick Joe P this weekend but you going lock me in for that pick already uh he's the man um why not although a big fan of Jack Branson he's been on the podcast a few times but I feel like when is you know when push comes the sh I feel like for whatever reason Jack Manson can't seem to get it over the line um look I'd love to see Jack Manson do it but I think uh Joe pyer has a has a hype train behind him and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon yeah we we we'll see what happens there this weekend um also shout out to pahan who's fighting in Japan this Saturday as well he's the only orish Pro competing this weekend um Ross I'm going to go into some of the energized questions okay um I'm actually going to start off with could leam mccort move to the UFC now there there is a slight issue here now yeah she is a co-main event at Bellator Belfast March 22nd I'm not too sure how many fights Liam Court has left on her deal um I think I think there's two questions um I think um can't she make bantamweight um I know um she fought man on Faro before in cage Warriors and it was 138 pounds um so if she can do that great obviously she was at the pi with Molly mccan we saw I saw a great picture of her Dana White and Eddie Hearn yeah what a photo yeah what a photo probably not what H the Bellator team are doying to see um but look Liam mccort um she sells tickets she's uh one of the most marketable people Bellator have at the moment um I wouldn't be shocked to see it happen down the line we've already seen the UFC take Kayla Harrison uh leam mccort is probably the next poster girl for pfl Bellator that they have hand um cyborg is a really strange one because someone else clearly runs her Twitter and uh I always feel like where I was like how many fights of cyborg have left as well so like I think there's great challenges in the UFC for Liam M court if she did ever make that jump but again I'm sure pfl and Bel Tor will be joining to hang on to her yeah well the issue is like she's going to be rematching now cabet in Belfast so you could and like chenade won the first time so for like could Liam Mt she could could Chade she could what you make of this rematch being made for Belfast and also Carl Mo is going to be taking on Cory Anderson for the vacant L heavyweight title yeah well I think uh interesting that theem neov has left the promote well fade the belt uh I'm not too sure whether he's contractually left the promote or not but uh obviously Vian mov was one of the best 204s pretty sure he beat Ryan Bader who's the heavyweight champ at the moment so like obviously fairly Elite um and obviously this chake having a rematch um first Le MCC cour this is probably the biggest women's Irish MMA fight of all time we get to see it again again yeah yeah I think uh look I think it's it's great for women's sport in Ireland I think the first match is very competitive uh chenade obviously injured herself in that first match so I'd love to see them both healthy and I feel like Leah's gone on to get her biggest que of her career since then so uh I'm here for it why not bit this point we're not getting um Leah versus Cyborg a title fight up in Belfast but look lever schade like it would have to be a number one Contender spot to the top one 145 pound women in the world let's have it yeah you see the thing is Chade won last time and then Leah's gone on to become doing loads of broadcasting for the likes of pfl and batt tour and like she's going amaz amazing opportunities and um even last time when we were at pfl Europe world event was going on chenade was like tweeting Leah like calling her out so it was all I didn't I didn't know they were going to throw down again but uh look it's happened up in Belfast and that's definitely going to be a big one um definitely sell tickets anyway put it that way well that that's how it's done um I'm interested to see who else is going to be fighting on this Bellator card like um I think Ken Clark's probably aert if he's fit yeah like will they be bringing in different Fighters will like the likes of France malambo or um Dylan H or yeah it' be interesting to see how much of a crossover of pfl Fighters will be able to fight for Bellator and what way that will work um also like will James Gallagher F in the card obviously he'd be a massive ticket seller there he'd probably be the biggest ticket seller um out of any of them um we will keep we will keep you the day on that as well uh Ross a question was sent there right this is absolute [ __ ] [ __ ] turn question right Irish animal 2 uh goes who would win in an SBG versus Team KF tournament without McGregor well I I think it would be depending on what way you line lined up the the fights or whatever but like if it was like open weight class you'd have to say SG Ireland would win because they have the heavier Fighters like your Carl Moore like your Johnny Walker uh Etc and like you know to do uh do SBG arand you know drafting the likes of gny Nelson into the Squad Squad to compete you know I mean like I don't I I wouldn't really compare the two gyms and team KF is probably even if he include SBG swords is probably around what maybe sh of 10 years probably a bit less you know I mean like SVG Ireland has gone around 2 five plus years I'd say give or take you know what I mean so like I wouldn't really be comparing the two um like I would like I would like to see a card mocked up to see you know I mean because yeah like if someone wants to mock up a card and ask us who do we think we' win I'll give you my opinion but like that's probably too broad of a question to be like which gym do you think will win you I mean like and both gyms are having their own success separately you know I mean um obviously um Team KF seem to always have a really high win percentage rate rate anytime Chris field shares like it's tend to be 70 80% win rate H obviously Oman Shaban went and picked up a uh UAE Warrior as well way title there recently um and look they're doing phenomenal I I I put it this way I wouldn't be Keen to say one gym is better than the other and knock the other gym I would be more saying one gym has achieved more than the other and at the moment SBG Ireland is the most successful gym in the country uh by that's the way it is like you I mean there're the facts like Danny mccormmach evicted Champion you know it's sort of almost weird to say oh yeah what about the gym without McGregor McGregor won two belts in the UFC you know I mean Peter quy has competed for the bellor lightweight title schnake hav compared for competed for the Bellator featherweight title h i I know you might go yeah they didn't win them but like to be in World title fights in big organizations mean something yeah but why don't they get team KF fighters to come and fight on the Bell Tour in Belfast and then see what happens yeah I I wouldn't be against that um I think it's just more I feel like uh from speaking to a lot of the team KF Lads they want to go to the UFC and that's that's their goal but um look I'd be here for it I'd be definitely interested to see I'd love to see uh someone like maybe I don't know if James Webb has many fights left in his contract to see him maybe fight in a pfl batt tour um because I'd like to see him get a good payday um before he Leed if that that was on the table for him but again like who knows maybe his goal is to capture the cage Warrior middleweight Championship or the L Heavyweight Championship I'm sure he's there thereabouts but I think he's actually booked into F again yeah he actually heavyweight so uh I don't know I'm just sort of spouting out ideas I'm not spouting them out saying like this be on the Bel T Belfast car because I know he's our book but again these are just things I think uh could be cool to see I think we like a bit of domestic on domestic at times yeah well like they're after matching DM courts against chenade so you never know what could happen but um here's another question from Matt 1010 Warren shout out Matt Lads one question what do we know about McGregor's comeback is it happening Matt straight straight mat yeah I I I definitely think he will come back I think he will fight again I think he will fight Michael chanler I don't think it's going to be UFC 300 I feel like if it was going to be UFC 300 we'd hear more about it I think he'll fight Chandler I think he'll fight Chandler probably July I'd say I know he said June but like Dan and white seem to not be on board with that I'd say maybe July and I wouldn't be shocked to see it uh at 170 I think I'm not a big fan of the 185 I just think that's too too easy for him to walk in at 185 and yeah what are your to pass I don't think I don't think it's going to be 300 um I know he said something about International fight week um I actually think he's probably gonna wait to announce it when Road Hill comes out yeah you know what I mean so then he can like finish that chapter off and then move on to the next but obviously that's like when that's announced like I mean like he feed everyone when that happens like Irish ma blows up more people care more about what's happening the whole country be talking about it the whole world be talking about it as well so like the news is only a matter of time because uh it's definitely going to happen and Russ just the I just I'll take a look at this question here Lads what do you make of the cage Warriors Dublin card so far and who do you want to who else do you want to see on it R I actually think this is going to be a funny one uh shout out to Paul Hughes who gave out to us for making up that uh poster uh said it looks too real and people get on to him about buying tickets when uh he's not confirmed be on the card so apologies Mr Hughes um yeah so it's a bit of a funny one cause I feel like for the first time in a while cage Warriors has more Irish Fighters than it can fit on the card um when you look at the card itself um I think so far we have Adam Shelly Jordan O'Neal Emer dar Dey melen and I feel like someone else is booked on there and takam man do are all booked on the card maybe well so so far that's five so normally like they only run about 12 fights on a card so like that means there's only s of seven left and you have your likes of uh James Sheen looking to get on the card um Solomon Simon looking to get on the card jar Harris looking to get on the card you probably have royan chedy looking again on the card um trying to think who else is there H Leon Hill will be looking to get on the card uh py mcc's yet to be announced on the card he's definitely someone who I want to see on the card um and then Alex oan as well and schneid nulan like I'm just listenting out people who are Irish and then Dar Ward as well actually to get on the card as well maybe mclarin yeah col mcer potentially as well so there's a lot of Fighters there who are on the cusp of being like announced one Jam Sheen yeah I think I said him first um so like there's plenty of ones there to like still be booked on the card um I I just hope they put on maybe a larger show than they normally would uh and we get all the Irish talent there my only fear at the moment is that someone might miss out on the card and uh I I know we sort of said it but I'd love to see Paul Hughes versus George Hardwick for the belt uh if not I think James Sheen could probably fight for against bakar for the belt um as well or maybe both fight for the belt I don't know I think um their fights I'd love to see I think uh cage Warriors Dublin will be a massive show one of the bigger shows that they do uh across the year um I think they'll sell a lot of tickets for it and I think there should be a title fight at top of the bill definitely I'm really interested to see what cage war is do this year because uh yeah man the competition's heating open in the market like you know I mean like oon oon Ireland are coming in signing a few people um pfl tour a few have been signed a a few are sort of feel like in no man's land I saw Kenny M and Anana got released there as per request so like it's G to be interesting to see where all these guys go and where they all fight but uh one thing is for sure is that it's the most competitive I've seen the market in a very long time and there's plenty of good organizations that are trying to put on plenty of good fights at the moment so look I can't wait to I can't wait to see where these guys end up um you know follow their careers across multiple different motions I think it's what's Co for the goose it's go for the gander Bas no yeah well it's the more Fighters fighting is uh means more like more content for us to put out which is H which is always good um just another quick one there do you like when an event's getting announce say like it's like say if it's a U or a pfl or whoever do you think they're better off always like announcing the main event first or does it does it body it that it could be like a any sort of fight that's going to be just on the card or do you think I think ideally you have you announced the fight with the main event that's what people are buying tickets for and that's the way I'd like to go I know it obviously can't always be done I know cage wers s out a lot of dates in advance that way and I'm not really against uh that way if you know what I mean that like here's the date get your tickets or whatever uh cuz I feel like you can sort of make up who you're going to see on the card in general with someone like cage Wares it be more you know a bigger show like if UFC announced UFC Dublin they sell out with just UFC duin without naming who was on the card but you'd rather know who the main event is and a lot of times I think I think every time there's a pay-per-view nearly UFC come with the name bar UFC 300 on what the main event is um or very shortly there afterwards so all you think UFC Do It Best by giving you who the headliner is I know it's quite ironic to say that at the moment with UFC 300 around the corner yeah but uh normally they give you the main event with with the card yeah we might have to get someone on from KRS to talk about what their plan is for the rest of the year and what what we should be expecting from them I think especially the way like the way octagon sort of it's like getting bigger and bigger yeah pfl Europe and Bellator and of course the UFC so uh we will be keeping people up today uh also K Legacy 20 will be going down to Dublin on the 17th of February the same night as UFC 298 in Gary's going to be on that card as well as we said earlier Alan will be discussing that card more next week and the week after that cage conflict will be on in Belfast and also pfl will be taking on bellor that night as well so like there's a lot of MMA heating up now like obviously there was a few events in January but uh the the the MMA scene is opening up more and more by each week um Ross is there any else you want to say I know like we were meant to mention that the fury usk fight has been rescheduled to May we'll we'll talk about that in a couple of month's time but uh is there anything else you want to sort of say before we wrap things up no just got feedback on the new format for the show I think we like recording this way as well it suits us um I suppose if someone did want to get on the show or something like that um let us know um but obviously it has to be relevant to what's going on at the moment and like a lot of times we do have the guests booked in advance so like let us know but if uh there was someone with a professional fight coming up or something like that uh let us know advance and we can see if we can we can slot you in and see where we go from there yeah for the next few weeks things might get a bit busier especially in Ross's household but uh every Sunday we'll be putting out the question boxes so you can always get involved in that yeah and like like we're always putting out nonstop content on the Instagram as well so we do appre appreciate everyone checking it out because uh without you there is no show although me and Ross would just do a show and no one be
