[Music] en sh up the Irish it's time okay what's going on guys and welcome to a brand new episode of energized brought to you by Forge L Stout and or Kings competitions Ross are you intoxicated or something introduce the guest man today we are bringing you one of the most legendary iconic figures of Irish mixed martial arts it's the huligan it's Patty hulahan Patty you made history at the weekend becoming the first coach to not only win a fight in the UFC but then to coach someone to win a fight in the UFC how did that feel and how Monumental was that for you and shaa at the time yeah it was incredible sha has put so much work into this and um she deserves every single bit of it every single bit of it um and it was crazy that it was against somebody who fought in the UFC it was coaching against which was Bon so a big strange weird event but D so great win and she deserved it yeah yeah and Ross myself and Ross watched the fight together and we were absolutely buzzing for you man so congratulations to you Sean and the team weren't we Ross yeah we really were it was H it was um great to see her get her hand raised H one there was a couple of moments in the fight that were uh very interesting like one being H you versus the cameraman that was H that that's now gone viral Pat has that ever happened before never in me life I didn't know what I got to flight me life as well like how did he get that close like what was he doing that close don't know well I think I saw I don't know who tweeted it so shout out whoever did but someone said that was the best an I've ever seen in my entire life so uh something else well that that was incredible um obviously the fight itself uh um you know Shauna's P was very very tough like she didn't want to go away like she was big smile on her face as Shauna was punching the head off her uh you know what's called I I thought CH definitely won round one I thought if I remember round two I thought was bit closer but I thought she really stepped it up a gear in round three and uh I think uh I heard you talk to py and the motto for the fight was whatever it takes and it really was whatever it takes and she went out there and one and then another thing I know was the delay delayed reaction from jna after her name was called out was the winner did you notice that in the cage as well P yeah we did I think um I think she was just waiting till the hand was raised before anything you know so she just took that little bit of a moment I think and maybe she was right as well who knows these days yeah I was going to say that you Patty like obviously from watching the fight I thought it was very clear that sha won like especially like what a dominant performance round three but uh was there was there any nerves when it goes to the judges scorecards because you know we've seen some weird decisions in the past that always is that always is that like squeaky bum time as they call it you know it's yeah absolutely there's always nerves you know because you just don't know like like um one of the judges um I don't think really really got it I had it as one two as I said in the fight basically she'd won one and two um just to be sure and then she needed number three and so looking at the scar cards I think one of them got it um all rounds basically one of them got one and two which was right and one of them I always think for me when I'm watching a fight paty I always when there's no person fighting I always try and be as like negative towards them as possible try and like get rid of your bias I'm like oh I don't think they want I don't think they want I don't think they want and then like you're like right it was very close like they might they might have won but uh for me I was like I was like n like there should have been any splits in there I thought it was it very clear that CH won wasn't split no way no way no and tell us this were you impressed her performance on this occasion cuz I know I know last time out you know she she she she herself wasn't over the moon performance but how did you feel she did this time out yeah I think like she took the whole occasion on our back as well you know what I mean it's a it's a whole lot it's a lot of pressure to take on you know what I mean um and it gets kind of bigger as the week goes on as well because interviews and and and and and questions and people get more interested as the week goes on so um yeah like under that pressure and stuff like that I think she went out there and and she did whatever it took you know what I mean so she's lots of places to to slow down and improveing and the minute she finds is finds that tall round basically um I think she's like she's very very dangerous to be in there against you know what I mean it's like a a blitzy jitsy um toy boxing kickboxer you know what I mean in that way so and she has a a really good frame for of style there to be very very dangerous where it's not easy to walk into her cuz she has such good soy kicks and and they could be gone your face um and then she has good Shi Jitsu off her back as well and she has really good Shi Jitsu off the top as well so yeah she has thein that from the start um and I think that she's yeah she's forced to reckon it and keep building yeah go on b h py what did you make of the overall promotion of Shauna in the buildup to the fight as well like not only here in Ireland but also the way like TNT Sports and the UFC were pushing her yeah well the ufcc she's she's clever you know what I mean and she can speak and she can carry herself she's not she's not stupid you know what I mean um and she's she's very intelligent in how she speaks you know what I mean she she's able to say what she needs to say and say it in the right way so um yeah I think the UFC see that that she has massive potential um and then they always love the AR anyway so they yeah it's the staff if you go through the staff you can see there's Lo loads of Irish in the staff as well so it's hard not to be r for I'm sure if you're in there as well so um yeah no I think that she the media didn't really do to much media and she took on an awful lot the last time um and it can just be draining it's really draining and like like that kind of drain you know you L on your bed you're like you just need to like L out for a second that was me interview with yours down for a second it's it's all good bud it's all good but like it is like that especially when you're actually doing like the media days like you're doing 20 minute interviews back toback you might be doing six or seven of them and like you're been asked the same questions and you're probably giv a lot of the same answers uh because that's just you know how the questions are going to be answered so like I could definitely see the draining point on it and I I think it she was right to take a step back but uh one thing that we'll be looked back on in a few years time and I know PTY you're quite the historian yourself will be you know she's the first woman to get her hand raised since Ash the B you know what I mean there hasn't been very many Irish women fighters in the UFC do you think that this win will be looked back on in 10 years time and seeing it so so significant for women's MMA in this country um well it's it was great to be involved with with with Ash and learned so much from from Ash's career as well myself you know what I mean so I was actually already telling some of this in the airport she's the second ever female to to win a fight in the UFC you know what I mean and on an island in a country that's a that's a massive thing you know what I mean in the PC history and and the forc are great I love for you know what I mean because yeah just it's the new ground you know what I mean it's like I don't know can Grand Theft Auto or something moving into the the new part of the map you know what I mean it's all different there everyone can enjoy it then you know what I mean but uh yeah I think Sean shaa has what she can do for for for for female MMA and MMA in all basically is is incredible you know what I mean um she's a great role model in that way to be able to to follow W etic and and that's for for male or female athletes so um yeah I think she has a she's she's a really good team there she got head our shoulders as well and then and then she has a a martial arts family which is where our dad Martin Bannon in the corner there with us as well so it was great to walk out with him and and and myself pick his his head on on his view of some of the shots in in in in MMA compared to say traditionally kickboxing or or many many years that he has there so um yeah I think think she she has a really good team around her so John Conor in USI and um just so many different people that that that we work together and we work really really well together so uh she's not just got to the UFC she's got a win here now and then and she has a team she's learned a lot about the process of Turing up on a Tuesday checking in and then that process till till figh you know and every time it has got better regarding weight and stuff like that and regarding preparation were less mediate you know finding the balance in the way and we're always trying to find the balance and it I think we got it well this time cuz I do believe also in relation to the media and like obviously suppos we are part of that media but it's one of those ones where like you can do all the media to the K come home but all it really matters is come Saturday night you get your hand raised and that's better than all the media you can do and that's that's what she went and done and you know and she did it you know in a really convincing fashion and style so like fair play to her um I I new going into it and I saw her speak about last wordss that like she's had a tough year and you know she she's had a few struggles outside the cage this year we're not going to get into what they are but was it as her coach was it hard for you to lift her at times or was her a training like the Escape did you feel um well peace of mind is is a very important thing in point you know what I mean so if you're like any athlete was football or whatever it is basically and if you're looking to try and get the performance or looking to try see and perform at their best they have to they have to have peace and mind you know what I mean um and be very concentrated on what it is so can be hard sometimes what life outside because life is life is beat you around you know what I mean you don't know what what's coming down the hill you know and yeah we say like I said said to Sean or whatever kind of whatever comes your way in life sometimes is basically you you prayed for it or you asked for it um and now you're being given the situation or the the scenario to to to to grow and expand and and and be tough you know what I mean regarding obviously her injury and and having to to move opponent and all of these things as well you know what I mean then other stuff that's deeper again you know what I mean um it's it's it's that moment that sometimes you ask for and you pray for it and then you are the person you need to be because of after it so uh can be very hard very easy to think that just these things you just you just get them you don't you know it's like anything it's h sometimes the hard times create who you need need to be for where you're going or or what you're going to do so um I really feel she grew as a person and over the last little while um and just understanding that isn't life isn't fair at that time you I mean most of the times it's not fair but it's not how you react to it and and and the real people you have around you you know I mean you have to have real people around you that are going to tell you so sometimes things you don't you don't want to hear the time and um but then you know in the whole suit that and they they probably had they had your best interests at heart yeah I'm sure I'm sure it can be Coast because uh I think anyone who knows the hill and martial arts it it's a family like it's it's not a it really it's not just you know you go go in you put on your chin pads and your boxing gloves and then you go again you know what I mean it's like you can tell the closeness to it and like you know I mean like all you have to hear is talk about uh hear shaa talk about Chelsea for about two minutes and you know like she she's not herself but the sounds of things yeah no ch ch is a great part of the gym as well she's like she's just such um look it's such such a village you know what I mean in a way now so we have the yoga studio there now the flow therapy the the sa the the the the the kids classes all the way the adults it's not it's like a little village you know I mean well in this Village um and that's what I always wanted it to be you know it's um there's a there a little sign on there look kind of like curriculum book you'll see it and it's like 10% of the village basically are like Warriors and you 90% are just ordinary Joe's supporting pushing um helping they're the most important people sometimes in the gym because that's where the 10% comes from the 90% the person people out them spill into the 10% because they start realizing their actual ability and what they're actually capable of and um I think it's I'd like to see the percentage of people who said okay I'm going to be a fire and then turn up in the gym and then proceed it all the way to the UFC I don't think that is the way it happens you know what I mean it's curiosity kicks in he turn up start training you're doing a little bit all of a sudden Lou starts getting better you start enjoying you start saying really like this and then then you start getting good you know what I mean and then all of a sudden you start maybe submitting somebody who just won a medal last week or you start saying well hold on maybe I could I can have a a go Len you typ a th but then there's some people who work in it we've got um we got midwives walk in the gym we got um all sorts of people walk in the gym you know what I mean I train in the gym um and they they just they need to be a to have an environment to be able to to grow as well in without without getting Hur without getting um without feeling on that pressure that they have to perform and stuff you know because they have to perform in their jobs where we would just wear white belts there so it's about creating a place that they can come after work and come after appointment and then be better people in their society you know so and then being able to brush Elders where everybody who competes or or is going to be you're sitting in a cage then there with your cage or sitting and you're watching now this athletes that walks around the gym and there's no ears or Graces about anybody you know what I mean everybody's just individual and everyone gets on you know so it's we you have he have kids who do training with say strength conditioning coaches in the gym that you can train J Jitsu would be like messaging sha saying like all the best you know like so it's just a great crossover and from all the leans in the gym and Chelsea stitches it all together with um just the logistics of stuff and yeah stuff that we don't even know but what sh out Chelsea we were trying to get Chelsea on the show but she was like no we leave with the Patty very very busy but U Patty undoubtedly sea is a star like we were putting when we were posting during the week everyone was just getting on top of it uh the thing is the people are going to be wanting to tune in now and find out when do you think Shauna could come back or when would you like to see her come back next week yeah yeah see it's it's hard it's a lot of people trying to get on the compar to fight at the same time as well do you know what I mean because it's a big roster there's only so many cards um yeah so we just wait to see how the cards fall next to the oil and it's just little bit kind of rest in our mind now maybe for for for a few weeks and then and then get back to the skills part of it where probably not pushing really really hard at the red zones and stuff like that but really getting back on the skills part there some things we're still trying to fix and that when they they click they really will click there's a moment in the fot where sha um has an AR back she rolls um Alice over basically and then um she goes to go again but just tiny makes it tiny little bit an adjustment and she would have got that arm bar there if she had have went Shin across the head and faced the right way and went down and it would have been this kind of Ronde Rousy es um kind of AAR sty you know what I mean but 20y things like that just being able to in the gym you do them over and over and over again but just like there's a new kind of Realm when you're in the UFC Octagon I think you know what I mean and you have to actually do it there there in front of everybody and yeah got to break through there you you're really really comfortable and then when the time happens you you just do it so um we back to do some scale stuff and all after that after break that she has and then yeah Wai for the the the next the next scrap yeah I'm sure that call will come sooner rather than later yeah absolutely um yeah Patty it was a f fantastic knise for sha re he wasn't and one thing I just thought of there like I'm sure someone like Andy hick could correct me wrong but it must be one of the fastest ever times from you know when you open the gym in Dublin 24 to have an athlete in the UFC and pick up a win that must be one of the shortest amount of times to actually make that happen because if you actually think of the time when did you open the gym py um seven years ago he sh training was six years ago yeah so like if you think from seven years ago to today you know or till Saturday night like seven years is a very small amount of time to open a gym to have an getting their handris in the UFC like you know mean some James could be 12 13 14 years before they even have someone signed to the UFC probably even longer so uh fair play on that Patty that was very impressive yeah no Sean is a Sean is a a special athlete as well though you know what I mean having someone like that to walk with is incredible you know what I mean someone who Tes up someone who listens someone who believes in what you're saying and then we've been through many countries and many from the start basically um I it's very important to know because you need to know like the spirit of a person or or how to be able to feel that from them you know so I blessed in in the gym basically that we have got like a small Nick group and I like walking with that they consistent and they're all the time you've got like you've got yog you've got um a lots of other guys on the team coming up as I mentioned him was as one of the pros so there's two Pros there but basically developed through the team and then and then came out as a as as basically a product of the environment and obviously sha had high level kickboxing and stuff like that but he definitely tailored it and she uses that heavy and it's really like the thing she leans into we've tailed the heavy with really really good grappling and other shots as well so yeah it's h it's been a mad mad mad Journey the last seven years um if you had to told me we're starting off to here I don't know maybe like yeah maybe it's going to take a yeah and and has taken a lot of work uh another person we saw um in the gym of the build up this fight and it maybe didn't go the way was kefir Crosby you get a to look keir's fight and watch Jama well you only really got to look at at last night um yeah devastate for him devastate for him big difference looking just looking at the the big so difference in the the divisions basically so the twoo he's had he's been up against the Cs nearly you know like it was 63 keep 11 and had to be deal with that long distance story especially with the story keep has you know what I mean but with spark of think of what he can do in there um he landed like like an overhand really got to look at last we because we were between medical tents and everything else in between and been brought from one t to the other um and then Sam shujitsu was really really good you know what I mean so it was heartbroken for yeah it was it it was a tough one to say um I think I think um some mess been like would you see ke moved lightwe um what what are your thoughts on that Patty obviously as a fighter and someone who sees the way Cuts up close and personal do you think that's an option for him or do you think he's better being bigger and stronger at Welter way um well I think he probably get Dexter scan or something like that and figure what what would be the safest way to do it you know um but I really would love to see a division between there because it's one of the many divisions that like seven kilo you know what I mean is in the way so um lightweight to welta way is like that's a that's a big jump you know what I mean so and some people get stuck in the middle yeah where they could make 702 easy but them two kilo are like like the worse you know what I mean people go it's only two kilo it's only 2 kilo after 10 kilo yeah yeah exactly so it's it's hard you know what I mean that way so and I'd love to see a division smuggled in there somewhere in between and for all the guys that are in between because Sam the guy that keeper even fought there he had just came up with from H lway so he was kind of in the middle of that as well like he seven kilo lter I really don't think would suit him no it didn't I think I think I think he h I think he got a bit chiner at uh at light way because everything's about the way cut you know what I mean and so that's what I'm saying in between he know and there could be a division down the future there for that but that's what it looked to say but ke was going to have to make his own decisions obviously he's a he's he's a man he can do that you but yeah good for yeah was it was it was tough it was tough one to watch um and then obviously bit close to your own weight class uh K lockran fought Jake Hadley just to round up the Irish and it was I felt like I was watching this almost like a replay for 15 minutes it was nearly the same fight for the whole whole thing H where kayin almost Chas chased him around the border the octagon and they sort of exchange shots but uh what did you make that way p yeah it was a great fight there um that was a great fight really was and even watching U Locker in the dressing room you know I mean really good hands and and obviously his wrestling has always been up there uh Jake taking that in a few days notic and I don't know if you seen that video of him blown out candle basically saying I wish I wouldn't be in the UFC it's like um and he's only a kid then like so you have to keep your hats off to him as well for you can imagine with that energy and that that that that kind of fuel is like going in there you know what I mean had to take it on that not was not having to worry about it all over that time as well um I think he obviously had to make the weight really really hard real run for that but uh yeah it was that was a good fight I think you know what I mean and the levels so you see people talking about and it's like it's like this is this is like high high level you know what I mean it's like people don't get there and and for no reason you know what I mean yeah talking about Lads going in basically and being being being high high level little tiny mistakes can take rounds away and and it just chips away at your next round or whatever you know so uh yeah hats off to the B and then uh speaking of kayen we might as rather talk about his new best mate fellow Patty uh Patty de B Pim what did you make of his win because obviously he's a controversial figure and you know I feel like people feel like he's been handed opponents but I feel like he this this is a real win win for him to show where he's at no I think P don't like you know what I mean no one can deny that opponent and and pad's been like dangerous since he's been 17 what I'm saying in a way yeah his flowing triangles and his style and um be look at him he looks in in incredible shape now you know what I mean yeah he does it's so funny how much he fluctuates between weight like it's crazy it's great and it's great to hear him talk honestly you know what I mean about like um stuff that goes on in his head and about men speaking out and all this kind of stuff where like um it's not an easy like and it shows as well it's not just like you you have Fame you have money you have doesn't really mean that at times you know what I mean so uh it's great to see somebody in his position where he could just probably truck along and but he's not even in fight week to put that on himself you know what I mean to come out and say something like that he like his fight was going to be pulled and stuff like that is is Honorable you know what I mean we need more of that we do because um that that actually that that shows your strength right a weakness would have been ConEd before maybe but yeah and to go out there and do that get 200 years baby one for each twins yeah one for each of the twins yeah one for each what's called Chelsea's asking where was those bonuses when you were fighting P push would have been able to scramble one of them in Dublin you know what I mean I just did push at the time CLE got one ke goon got one and Conor got one you could AR You could argue K's uh K's comeback was still one of the best comebacks in UFC history yeah and then you got two got two bonuses Miker you got 100 so hard foran re now Moree on shoulders scramble one of them 50 Grands off at that table you didn't ask him whether you were there or no did did give you on the weekend oh no no no no no no maybe bit of combo for the B of the [Laughter] camera Su obviously moving into the to the two toil vo Tom Asal like is there any other fight than Tom asmal versus Jon Jones that the world want see now after that no I don't he's bulldozer and he's been a gentleman doubt as well you know I mean which is really really cool so yeah it's great to see him walk that P with his dad um he's just he's just a really good person you can just help about him you know what I mean just carries himself really well I think he I think maybe he regrets the petrol thing probably I think the orish probably got that a little bit more than than the UK he was going on the hands in petrol are you g are you gonna have sha putting the hands in petrol now for the next camp we already been doing that already we put the feet in petrol put the hands in for St yeah yeah makes a bit of prop you I'll be telling them all Secrets qu come on and then obviously uh Bal Muhammad won um there was actually some great scenes of him over in the UK with the Palestine flag and uh what's it called um obviously that's a from uh I suppose alide the cage point of view that that that was brilliant um I feel like from a promotional point of view they don't think he's the the bees in terms of uh putting bombs in seats and selling tickets but H he went out there and put on performance um I I suppose the one thing is it didn't feel like the same Leon Edwards that we've seen in the past maybe that was just due to how good Bal was but do you think the time difference fighting at that early in the morning plays a massive difference Pat yeah the time is a the time had to be a weird one you know what I mean no matter what zone if you're living in a zone of like where 5 o'clock in the morning 5 o'clock in the morning 5 o'clock in the morning doesn't really matter what time you know what I mean um and then regarding like the the the whole scenes around it um that would have been a lot of pressure on Bal as well you know like considering what what's being done there in in Palestine you know and then to have carry that flag and and represent the the people of palis is a is a serious thing on their shoulders and and he done well with it there you know what I mean um and it was great to see it was great to see Palestinian flags flying high around there the the the place for the week you know mean really was people are starting to see um we've all seen the ear think you know but people are starting to see see now you know and now and know we really need something needs to be done about that situation a long time ago but it's an emergency now hopefully he can use maybe his platform to to bring some show bring some showing to to what's going on there you know what I mean so uh and then people need everything that they can get now so to get a UFC champion um at a time like this is um is probably bigger than than all of us you know yeah absolutely it was it was a historic event there Patty and um one that one that will be remembered in the record books for for years uh you know another synonymous event with the h with his his hand hand involved so uh fair play and and fair play to sha for getting a hand raised that that that was that was the sort of takeway for me for the for the weekend H shaa was the big winner of the weekend for us H it was incredible to see I do just want to ask you about uh one other person H the other professional in the Hulan martial arts Camp uh he grev or however you say his name I'm sure George rec call George yeah George uh what's called obviously he went out and put on a phenomenal performance that cage Warriors 174 and how proud were you of that and that was another funny one seeing you you across from Brad pick a corner because uh that that was that was that was that was a a fan dream match up as well that people wanted to see uh I think did you guys grapple against each other there a while back no no me no we done the octagon octagon yeah yeah of course of course yeah I thought there was maybe a Grappler match at some stage back maybe or something but I feel like that one needs to be resolved py I feel like you and Brad need to tangle somewhere tle every time we see him we have a little mess every on the weekend was having a little a little mess with him there yeah Brad's already Brad a good skin he is know and um yeah he's y basically is a y is incredible y has has the chance the ability to go all of the way um I think anybody who who moves room same again another person who has came through and their work EIC and their skills is it speak to so going and fighting someone Tommy Brun your second fight you know what I mean um two times amateur Champion for cage Warriors and then and then being able to to deal with that situation the way he did you know so uh I'm excited for him and people need he's still only two and0 you know what I mean so uh um he needs to walk the way he needs to walk so the next exact Next Level Next Level Next Level and then I think he could walk through the the door as well and another totally different person to to personality say like Sean or something I think that's important say you're producing different personalities and different people different styles um and that's what he is he's a he's an incredible atlete um and I'm excited to see what's goingon to happen to him in the future and there's another guy H real quick Daniel had to give him a shout out Italian Daniel as we call him um but he's actually German um so but he for cage Legacy for Tristan and basically on cage Legacy and and got a good win there as well so jumped up an opponent so three opponents over three weekends that were no joke um and it was great to get get a win in the all hm coming up tops py how feel P py just before we let you go how did it feel to go back to cage Warriors as well like and have Georgie fight there yeah it was good we actually haven't got any much um D with cage Warriors to be honest one or two or three in future or in the past Chelsea just signal me in the D um for the command this needs to be done now and yeah so I had really got for so been around obviously with round on the belt and come up and then um just before I come to the ultimate fight on myself I was maybe supposed to to fight on it and then the ultimate fight happened before that so um yeah OB good to be around it and stuff like that and um the setup's good it's in London so it was really really in the Indigo in London as well so stay was up on the stage and all so good setup he looked after as well so yeah it was good it was good to be there as well so two decent promotions in the weekend two weekends um to get the win and then and as I said Danel his a win as well was as a cracken win like let me fight this guy let me fight this guy please all right I'm not going to be there but y Back Him th his Corner um yeah they went and got it done think he won the last 10 seconds or something like that by rear Nick a choke uh which was pretty Daniel es yeah no but uh no but like cage legy always put on a good show and so do cage rers PTY just before we let you go what can we expect next from yourself like obviously you were coaching on octagon we've seen you in Polaris recently is there anything else in the pipeline for the hillig again a few scraps in the council chamber um I take that Lely that was that was a joke that was a joke obviously yeah yeah it's not that obvious no it's not that he's like did he say yeah but um yeah so I'm busy with the council stuff as well but balance all go teach now 12 o'cl so we teach Jiu-Jitsu and I love doing that still walking on to the m teach and and do a little bit of training much the other people growing and I'm blessed with the group we have around me some of the the the Jitsu coach that have come up and um some of the Liv that helped me run the gym and help me teach the classes and move on the basically the the next kind of Discovery in what were with grappling and just keep growing you know what I mean people like like Daniel Clooney and and Casper and Sam Delany and some of the lads that yeah just really really good guys and obviously one of my main men te being only there as well so um yeah it's good so good you mean anybody forgot even there is like my apologies because just such a good team such a a great amount of people you know what I mean um you've got the strength conditioning coaches and just just everybody do paty thanks M for your time board we'll let you get on with the rest of your day okay cheers that's en show up the Irish so Ross that was the huligan everyone's favorite H everyone's favorite Hogan legend of the game um huge win for him and Sean at the weekend H did they really do feel like sort a dream team as well you know what I mean like it feels like it means as much to Patty as it does to shaa um so yeah great great to have a chat with great to see them flying that Irish flag H in the UFC yeah like as we said like there was three Irish athletes on the card Shauna got the win she set the tone unfortunately kefir lost um it's going to be interesting to see now what Keir does next Ross yeah it will be um I know I think there was one of the questions um I think it was from royan KY asked what he moov down to lightweight we sort of fled to Patty uh I think like physique structure-wise I think he's probably closer to lightweight than he is to welterweight just just after seeing him fight two set and then seeing him and fight Sam Patterson just the height difference is huge if you know what I mean I I think he's more close to like a justtin porier frame than he is to one of those guys but uh again like I actually thought he did quite well while I was on the feet just as soon as I went to the ground just uh you know um Sam Patterson's black Bel level really Shan through yeah uh I I still would have liked to seeing kefir against Oben Elliot I felt like that was actually the fight to make like stylistic wise it it would have been perfect especially because the time difference but like like what time they're fighting at for the fans to get more energized um yeah I would have been all for it yeah I think everyone would have been up for that and then K lock ran as we said it looked like he just didn't push it harder against Jake Hadley yeah you know I'd say it's one of those ones where hard to know when he was in there because he was chasing him did he feel like he was winning if that makes sense because I'm sure it's a different feeling in there than it is actually watching at home as in like you probably see more at home and like he might have like landed shot that lands on the gloves and feel like oh that was a good shot that'll probably score for you know what I mean that was sort of like smile because like even though I think you know I think one of the judges gave it 3027 to hady like it's one of those ones you can win all three rounds of a fight but the fight be very very close that Mak sense so like the fight was razor close um look oh I think I think Halen will learn a lot from that fight and he'll improve and he'll make the adjustments yeah do you think the opponent change the the the incidents with Patty the b in the build fight you think that had anything Got to Do With It um I don't know if I'm going to say specifically anything to do it but like he was also fighting at what half one in the morning yeah probably not ideal um I think like obviously having that like his phone would have been blown up after the Patty incident and not ideal and then like the last minute opponent change also not IDE deal so again like I feel like very similar to the Paris uh fight like he had a few changes that he had to deal with and look it is the fight game these things happen but again like I feel like kayin someone who gets like meticulously ready for someone and then like last minute opponent change I feel like doesn't actually suit his style as well yeah well like I'm just going to reiterate what we said a few weeks ago I don't think the U should be doing cards at this time or that time anymore no like city city carry on no it just it doesn't suit anyone no one wants it no one no one's actually ask for I know the American fans are but like think about all the all the the UK and Irish fans that go over to watch the events and have to stay there did you see the videos of people like the fans asleep in the crowd yeah yeah pay 500 quid to be asleep yeah disaster Jesus yeah absolute disaster bro and then Dan was like oh the fights weren't great I like well like you may people fight at a ridiculous time so like I'm not surprised they weren't great yeah and then oh yeah for the people tuning in now we were meant to do a show last week but like I came home from a wedding and like I was sick all week Russ you getting stuff done to the house we as Patty mentioned he was meant to come on the show then we moved back a couple of days and then it just did time time didn't work out so we rehar the key for show and the K show look in life we plan to do a show every week and like like 99% of the time we do but and the off chance we don't we do apologize about that because we know people love to stay very energized they do indeed they do indeed uh Russ just a couple of things before we wrap things up right H cage Warriors obviously had two events in the space of less than a week one in London and one in Manchester um just sort of putting two into one what did you sort of make of the overall events together yeah I thought uh the cage Warriors the prize fighter W 174 it's it was very long watch now like obviously the fights were good so I didn't mind watch like well I never mind watch but it was very very long so uh I think maybe they need to put less fights on when they had the pr fighter maybe they make it longer how the people who fight in the first semi-final then have more time to recover for the final and but uh yeah I had a bit a good bit of boards to it uh J Harris put on a very good performance didn't get his hand raised now but a lost a very close decision um eer Dary looked Sensational and as did George grov as well so like there was uh there was some uh great performances from the Irish on the card like they normally is and uh obviously with Manchester U Mason Jones um put on a fantastic performance over there and unfortunately Adam chedy uh and Ryan chedy uh over the weekend did not or over the two weekends didn't get their hand raised um so it'll be interesting to see what the team KF guys do coming back from that yeah and then uh cage Legacy was also on over the weekend Max Ley won in the first round by TKO and Conor McCarthy one boy TKO as well um Ross one thing that's but you said about C Legacy right as much as we love Irish MMA whoever is the streaming like Source or whoever is producing the event when when Max L fought it like cut out and then all of a sudden he had won and like very that's a reoccurring thing as that okay like the stream frows we were watching together and the stream most frze 10 times so whatever provider you're using to do the stream you need to like update their equipment or something else because like at the end of the day it makes it a painful watch it really hinders their product and most importantly it really hinders the fers yeah because what's most important for the fers to be fing on these platforms is to have have their finishes recorded to therefore promote themselves and like if you if if you cut out when they're like about to win especially in the main event like that that helps nobody so that's just something that like I mean the people tuning in now like I mean this doesn't H this isn't a regular occurrence in other another uh Irish MMA organizations but uh like when when that happens like that's absolute [ __ ] you know I mean especially like Max Ali is the number one ticket seller and if people are home tuning in to watch him see him win then all of a sudden cuts out and then he's on top of the cage that's just uh that's just that's that's just very very disappointing that's what it is pure pure pure pure sh there's no no point like dancing around like if if that happened in UFC there'll be uproar if the main event like froze and then like all of a sudden Tom aspal was there Ling on top of the cage celebrating the win and didn't get see The Knockout now if it was a free stream you sort of just had to bite the bullet but like when you're paying watchv yeah me and it kicks out nah not having H although that a good see the two guys get their hand rais and I think the biggest win of the night was coyo s that knockout was absolutely Sensational that high kick knockout that was that was Next Level pure voral man pure voral um right we're going to get into the the the energized questions want to thank everyone for for actually sending in the questions the first one is actually from Elite Fighting Championship in Cork they're going to have a h huge event coming up in I think it's September bran Manning's Pro debut BR Manning's Pro debut uh they're saying that Bal versus shavkat and Leon versus Ian Gary and um Jack Del Melina fa the winner of Leon versus Ian and the winner of that faces Bal or s or shavar rakov Shava yeah I can't wait to go down to the next I can't wait to go down to the next League H Fighting Championship in Cork and watch Shava versus that that's whoer she's bar full of cash uh Ryan kryy says Jon Jones versus aspal prediction I I can't see anyone stopping Tom Asal right now I think like he [ __ ] hot right now and I think if he lands one of those punches on Jon Jones I think Jon Jones hits the deck yeah after Aspen gave a in the press conference he said that he all he wants to do he doesn't want to go to parties he doesn't want to be on Yachts he doesn't want to do anything else bar put gloves on and fight and like that is a scary human being to be around and we've been around that chap he's like he's probably as big as Francis ganu isn't he probably not far off like to be honest and I think also I think like as much as like I want him to get the Jones fight I don't know if I want to wait till November to see that guy again like he just got done in 60 seconds like like I just want to see that guy fight like Tomas I think is one of the biggest attractions UFC have right now and uh if they can if like Pereira wants to go up to heavyweight and they want to make that fight like I'm all for it like I can't see I can't see them putting per up there um who who give us some other options there R for aspinal I think that's really it to be honest like unless like he's already been off at seral gam s Gan turn it down so like I don't really see who's the main event of that okan Paris card or have they even made against who is he fighting like spack or something I feel like that was the last one g f back oh uh who's the guy s who's uh after fighting what about um name is is against pavlovich no that could be interesting I'm looking up here oh he's fighting volov if volov wins like I think volov actually does deserve a shot like volov on absolute hair at the moment I just didn't know cuz uh fov recently I actually think that's going to be in actually Abu Dhabi that fight you know really Abu dhabi's gone down this but uh yeah volkov's on a bit of a tear at the moment he just beat Serge pav toyu evasa Alexander Romanov and jino Rosen strike so like he's won four since Tom as's beat him so there you go do do you think that um Aspen set a record for defending the interum totle more times than anyone else I think if he does another defense like that's it is it I think one is the record I think he he's c-record holder if if that's the thing the greatest interim champ of all time uh you better believe it Baby Ryan Cary 95 wants to know who is the national MMA coach of the year so far oh jeez I think I I was only thinking this like there's plenty of coaches who do unbelievable things and there's plenty of coach just like you look at someone like Danny mccormmach who has done unbelievable things with the youth's setup and I don't think the the Junior's her um like I think like unbelievable work she's doing with that and like you know the Relentless martial arts team there uh performed incredible like I I see she puts up like sort of the gold medals on on the wall up there or the PCT the gold medals uh day on unbelievable um same with Mikey and team Roy on me like he he's done incredible stuff uh and his son is actually on the team as well so like uh they've done incredible stuff with the youths but like if you're I I always feel like you sort of Judge a lot of times you judge the gy on the accolades of their Fighters if you know what I mean and I'd say the biggest win in the last or in 2024 so far is probably James Sheen when when the world TI like cage Warriors I think that's probably the biggest win of an Irish fighter H who trains nor stream so far this year I don't know if you can think of any that are much bigger than that P can you people would argue Paul Hughes pfl yeah like that's that's totally uh valid as well like like for Academy Ireland ads of I've done incredible as well so like you know like for Ireland Shan's had an incredible year and so team Roo so far um so like they're probably the ones that are standing out to me at the moment yeah well like like Danny McCormack deserves an honor mention and she will be back in Action very very soon on UFC I just just what she's doing for the Youth is uh very very commendable and abs that shouldn't go unnoticed no definitely Ryan was also asking who's next for Bal we we sort of already covered that we put a poll on the enero show's Instagram page uh it's either Leon Edwards or shavar rachmanov Ross what is the percentage of voting right now as Speak oh you think shavat going in favor 69% shavkat 31% Leon that would actually be a Trilogy and then there's just a one or two more questions Russ hold on for a second H Eric OD 96 always sends in a question he was asking what's next for BDK Lads continue wewe or drop the lightwe uh we already covered that we both think that he's probably going to stay a welway he's 34 now own two in the U and that that' be very interesting to see you know what what about domestic clash between Keir and Reese mck the headline UFC Dublin just anywhere I don't see why they have to fight each other but no I'm not I'm not I'm not like I'm not saying that that like like I'd rather they both fought someone else and beat someone else but I'm more so saying like I think like they're both 0 and2 on their current run so like it actually would make a bit of sense true but like that would be an absolute enormous f for Irish fans and the thing is at the end of day when fighting you want people to tune in and watch so like that wouldn't go a Miss uh Al Clos ask when do you come to San Diego to do a show we get asked this every week and we always say gr ban show us the cash bro H DH Newman where does Lee Hammond fight next FCC question mark if he wins could he be on the Conor December card Ross H I've heard he actually fighting in Madrid with then a promotion he's fighting under but uh he'll be out in the coming weeks in Madrid um but again it could be on FCC because he also said it was on U fo pass so uh we we'll we'll see where he comes up I'll be interested to see see where he's back out next okay and then I sent in you can't bait a few scraps Russ it was very enjoyable to watch K Legacy which here and the UFC also shareed Craig hulley fighting on one Fighting Championships this Friday Ireland's favorite Mur toy fighter and then just this weekend the UFC is back and it's Corey sandhagen taking on Umar n Maga made off the people of a voted Russ who do they think is going to win this Main Event in Abu Dhabi Umar or magol it's actually it's actually 79% or team Cory sandhagen 21% made Ross always wrong as per usual but especially
