Energized Show countdown ahead of Cage Warriors 140 in Belfast’s SSE Arena on 25 June 2022, with bantamweight Caolan Loughran and featherweight Harry Hardwick. Loughran previews his bout with Festus: a planned face-off fell through when Festus no-showed despite repeated requests, echoing earlier pullouts and social-media posturing. He describes an unusually long, structured camp at Team Kelvin after securing the April booking, and plans to overwhelm Festus—whom he calls a striker with judo credentials and a padded record. Beyond Belfast he wants Luke Shanks next before talking titles, does not feel he deserves a belt yet, and rejects a one-day vacant-title tournament. Hardwick (2-0 in Cage Warriors) explains travelling camps around Middlesbrough, BST, and elsewhere while building Middles Fight Academy and visiting his girlfriend. He calls the featherweight division messy but elite, argues Cage Warriors talent can exceed early UFC matchups, and notes brother George Hardwick’s five-round UFC London title prep extending gym sessions. Both expect strong Belfast crowds—Hardwick cites 100+ tickets sold—and frame the card as major UK/Ireland talent on a big stage.

energize show up the irish okay what's going on guys welcome to a brand new episode of energized russ introduce the guest man today we've got a cage warriors belfast 140 special we've got one of the biggest melts in the promotion mr kalin lochran and we have one half of one of the best brothers that ever stepped foot out of middles bro it's harry hardwick lads how are we doing bad not bad don't be like that don't be like that you don't offend the easy you don't offend easy i don't think the bantamweight has ever seen some division has any ever seen someone who's a crazed uh or caused quite a stir as much as you have anytime there's ever a post there someone that you put up some of the bantamweights in this division have something to say about you i know that's wrong faith i don't know i think uh the worst thing you could be in this sport i think is like work your whole life achieve a really really high level skill become one of the best players in the world and nobody gives a [ __ ] and i don't know whatever whatever i do they want me to assume they give a [ __ ] i don't know but uh i don't know just being me lad and it seems to be working all right i don't know nice one but just sit back with just how we get get your full face in there full handsome face in there uh just to give the people a bit of feedback on your fight uh festus who uh caitlin is uh fighting his manager actually reached out to us and tried to get a face off going you know we already we already had it down in the dory to get one going and then we reached out to festus and he said yeah but uh he he didn't show up when toy mattered and we asked him two or three times since then and haven't heard from since uh caitlyn would that happen does that make you worried that he might pull out the fight i to be honest before i stand with his words i had say from august time to november time last year was i've got to fight three weeks or so fight council fighting in three weeks time right five council fighting in a waste time fighting [ __ ] four weeks time just kind of like training training just like 50 percent to try and get a fight so i as soon as i heard his name i thought he probably i honestly probably pulled out because he pulled out of a tough opponent at the start of the year anyway but then when the scene he starts acting the big mom on social media and then he's asked he's asked to come and do one of these things and he's already done one last year his opponent in the local show he don't want to sit down but he wouldn't show up to do this so i don't know it's not the face too he'd say he looks it would appear he's going to show up but i'm not holding my breath anyway it would have been a good one 200 feet of fighters going out there and putting on performance a cage warriors 140 belfast yeah absolutely sorry is that you know what it is just going by social media [ __ ] you get these like brazilians and like russians in the ufc and like they feel that they have to say something to promote a faith like fragrant for example but english isn't their first language or the culture is different so just come across as a [ __ ] invalid that's what it is social media looks like to me to be honest of all time i feel like he's become almost like colby covent in a way like as in like nothing's gone his way so he's just invented this twitter character to keep himself relevant uh harry how's training camp going for you i've seen you and george have been up and down the country in various different gyms getting in that work um what may what made you go around so much for this camp or is that something that you guys like to always do uh you know because like in middlesbrough um in our gym there there are two pro fighters and both of them are called hardwick it's like it's good to go around and get some mixing in while we're still we're still building uh middle fight academy and stuff and also my girlfriend lives [ __ ] 200 miles down south so i'm like tying it in with trips to see her uh so it's like bst is about an hour away from where she lives so it was just like and like um jordan invited us to come train so we just did some training and is the excuse yeah sorry how you've been putting some great content in the build up to this uh this event as well so like fair play to you and the team yeah sorry i was going to say harry is the excuse to see the misses or the excuse to get to go train in um but he is a handsome fella um harry what do you make of the featherweight division at the moment because obviously uh you're you're a 2-0 now in cage warriors um frederico was want to know he had an annoying finish in his last fight and the toil is a bit up in the air you know will be tennis go to the ufc or not paul uses the injured at the moment where how do you see the landscape of the featherweight division i mean it's a [ __ ] mess uh there's no denying it like it's it's a very messy division but it but it's tough like like i feel like breaking through with the ufc through cage rory's featherweight division at the minute like once you get to the ufc you're actually going to be getting like a step back in competition for the first couple of fights like cage worries it's featherweight division's ridiculous um so you know it's interesting there's there's good fights to be had for just focused on smashing federico's facing yeah i actually agree with what you said there i think you can make a strong argument that uh if you look at like ian gary's last two opponents of this poem come up you could make a very strong argument that jack grant is better than all three of those opponents who he fought for the toil yeah like like cage warriors is [ __ ] competitive um yeah i mean a lot that's not ian dean like he is fantastic at his job like as far as uk and ireland mma goes he's he's probably the most important figure the hall of fame hall of fame status pretty much yeah like although you could be reece and floyd chumayev on your on short notice as well um yeah bit bit unfortunate that yeah these these things do happen they do happen on like you know sometimes you have to you have to take the opportunities when they arrive uh obviously hands out wasn't a total unknown commodity but like i don't think people thought well i don't think people knew at the time how good he was going to be and look where he's at now um caitlyn how about you what's the bulls like in your gym because obviously uh over at team kelvin and things are really hot up at the moment you have the main event and co-main event for ufc london in the gym at the moment i know your main training partner's micro only as well is there anything on the horizon for him as well i know uh he was let go recently as well uh i don't know what mike uh he said he's training stuff he was in shark tank him this morning wrestling to be honest it was he's still training but uh i quite want if you ever want to come down hurry by all means calm down we [ __ ] love you um but trends been absolutely outstanding for this camp this is the end as i'm saying earlier when i before same key george was kind of like don't really know when facebook happened can't really trust that a fight is going to happen literally until you're there so when i thought april 1st when the monster secured i knew exactly i was gonna fight on june 25th some fit there like structure say like five six weeks whatever it is of just pure skill like don't even worry about breaking so that's just development and technique and grappling striking wrestling under all these phenomenal coaches and fighters just studying the game we don't have to worry about my weight we can eat a bit of food i have a painter throughout the weekend just purely pretty still where i'm still a couple of months away from my faith where it's hard to pick it up or now it's been i've had this death i've been i said shark tank and it's been really there because there's only a couple of us fighting them out so everyone's kind of like coming in fresh on me and stuff like that so trenton's been being haters from fighters all the time but uh this is because of that alone no one i'm gonna fight on this date it's been like head and shoulders above anything i've ever had and i don't want to touch wood but like injury ways recovery ways things that can cause like i've never had like two to three months i said i just want to change myself making some [ __ ] takes with my face i've never had this in my life i feel i feel absolutely unbelievable awesome phenomenal buzz there you have it invoice come training on the energy show you know i mean that's what we're here for it's make mates out of the lads you know uh you'd love to see it don't just different classes [Laughter] you're a good man you know just you know to promote a fight like what what wait do you look at the panther weight division at the moment because like you're obviously on the feet you're six you know like i mean do you have your eyes like uh you've been calling their people people calling you out like what wait do you see your route to the title or are you just slowly focused on making it to belfast and getting the win well obviously belfast first that's the best priority that's if i don't win but if i don't i play myself in the gym if i don't perform that i don't win and that all because i'd [ __ ] windows obviously this [ __ ] deck as fast as he's first but after that there's there's any way you could go like i don't know what dominic's gonna do donna gooding with the it would appear that he's not and i can kind of see it right now i don't know like i feel like it was going to happen what happened by now so maybe he has to defend it i don't again i tell you the last time i don't think i deserve a belt yet so i just hit behind one person i do want to fight next is shanks luke shanks i feel like if i get a win over him then i could start to talk about a title that would out of them so if i beat your last kid who's a seven by one streak beat the actors at 10 by one streak five no pro go and beat shanks i think you start to walk towards tail because if i'm being 100 honest luke shanks is a fat fly with who failed to fly with who's calling himself abandonment and i think but i think i've gone through him and won the two rounds this must my opinion he also has been on the win he beat george [ __ ] er what are you going george ready where's yours crazy horse that's apparently a good one so if he gives if that puts him towards the belt i think if i beat him next i can start to talk about titles if it's vacant and i'd fight nathan i was like a tournament test type style the way ian don't i can do that now that it's like a one day thing [ __ ] that [ __ ] not the way jack was but they i'm just the man of folks on belfast domination like the best like i want i want to leave belfast and everyone say right he might be a golf shade but that [ __ ] is a [ __ ] animal of abundance and he is a problem and that's the problem for these guys a problem for the [ __ ] ufc right now today right now that's what i want to say so focusing on belfast and then we'll take it from there at the top of the shelf but you know what he backs it up he backs it up this is entertainment at the end of the day lads like you know absolutely that's what i said you could be the best friend in the world like look at like i hate to say it but look at leon like i'm a massive fan leon but it's not really breaking through getting opportunities you have to [ __ ] just be yourself that's most one thing that's it that's it uh how are you the man uh obviously george booked in for london and the night before uh the ufc and it was him training for a five round title fight now i know he's i know he's done a few times and he's been let down by his opponents but does that make training that bit more intense this time around uh not particularly it's like like i'm at the point where it's getting more intense for me like i'm sort of doing less rounds that are more intense it's like working down whereas george is sort of still consistently doing doing a bit more um honestly it just makes things take more time sessions last longer because he's got [ __ ] five rounds to prepare for so for like if we're shark tanking him like that kind of thing takes [ __ ] ages for a five rounder because like if we in our gym say if we're doing like a shark tanky type thing it's like if you're not out by the time the timer goes we [ __ ] pause the time because we don't want you to ever like think oh you can just get away with like letting the clock go and then it's like for three rounds that becomes a [ __ ] big deal because you end up like it ends up being like 20 minutes 20 something minutes but for [ __ ] five rounds i remember once we we did one for the medi fight that must have lasted about 45 minutes go bastard and also uh how are you just the truth on that do you think uh if george wins that belt and then makes the ufc that makes the door that even bit more a jar for you to get in there do you think that makes it easier knowing that you know you're his brother yeah it probably will the ufc does kind of work a bit like that like you've seen um figured out managed to get his brother into the ufc off a draw like you know it it does work a little bit like that but i'm just i'm just focused on it getting my belt doing my thing uh my division's way muddier than george's the ball [ __ ] it by the end of the year at least [ __ ] it it can't be taken that long i saw itself out nowhere caitlyn before you come in here now uh tiernan's not saying to cage warrior he's not gone probe but i have to ask harry out of the hardwicks the shelley's and the fig lacks who are the best fighting brothers in cage warriors what do you think caitlyn who do you think are the best brothers of three sets come on kale be a good guy man no no no i'll be honest with you around he's bringing here he's bringing him here just get like one cage all my masters [ __ ] terrible all eight of us yeah yeah like in russia yeah like one of their russian events yeah yeah pretty much in fairness i'd rather see you allowing the four brothers up and like to do an eating competition or like to play bowling or something something non-point related that would be funnier i mean anyone who's doing an eating competition against george will lose what a paddy pig what about i mean i feel like i feel like a lot of paddy's eating comes from certain things he smokes [Laughter] like come get new sounds it's [ __ ] common knowledge man like anyone who's seen him at fight show but and it's not on any any bad sources list anymore so he can paddy puts paddy puts fool away like it's [ __ ] disgusting yeah obviously caitlyn would lose that because his body is a temple land there he he wouldn't he wouldn't uh try and win an eating challenge for uh i don't think he was born i think i think he needs to pull and put [ __ ] polish i need he needs to [ __ ] wise up i think that was me i don't know there we have it there's some nutritional voice from uh kevin kevin we can't when you're winning it's all right because he's winning right now when he gets his [ __ ] head captain people's gonna be like well you're just a bum that's what i think i don't know it needs a [ __ ] weight up i think you know i don't think anyone's anyone's like you know what ten thousand calories a day is a great idea i don't think anybody anyone's promoting that air but that's the look it seems to be a winning formula for him so far big contract and stuff like i mean what will we do you know i'm sure i'd be talking to a few big macs myself or any other burgers [ __ ] i mean new sponsor now actually [ __ ] palmer's in the post so you get palmost delivered anywhere anywhere in the country off panels in the post then you cook it in like your own open so like you get them in like a vacuum sealed thing then you just 20 minutes in the oven bit under the grill you get proper garlic meal because [ __ ] garlic mill and every other town in the country is shite ross yeah we could do powerball talk all day with a harry hardwick how are you and george will have to bring out your own your own cooking channel and it will just have to be all based on primals or you'll have to uh deal with top 10 promos in middlesbrough after your total or after your voice uh is it's a must-see tv see george isn't interested in cooking them at all he doesn't want the magic spoiled well fair enough all right maybe just try the best top 10 power miles in middlesbrough right the middle tim we have a fella over in ireland he doesn't think guinness guru he goes around the country he dead tastes goodness huh oh yeah but he does well for himself and that's all the rumors come uh to bring it back to the fighting belfast ssc arena how excited are you for that all that is like bucket list stuff to be honest edith lavelle after my last fight um when i reflect before i've moved the crowbar i used to emotionally train in liverpool but i i'd still live back home like on my family in toronto so i'd have to like go up and down there one was once or twice a day and i would train the far end of belfast well i swear i'm late this truth i would uh odd tame on my journey to trade through alphas to like trade past this arena and obviously i was this the ufc as visualization but that's been is it's pocketless stuff so for kids to do this like i'm very thankful for them and this is like this is this is going to be nuts i can't wait yeah and we'll be bringing a big crowd this time out because obviously the fact that you do live across uh across the pond in liverpool and you know people probably don't get to see as much as they like to see in terms of family and friends now that they have an event to go to in belfast i'm sure they'll show up in their droves i will over 100 tickets go on or out here so cannot with that even like i a lot of my friends are paul's friends they're probably coming anyway like derrick jerome direction so i'll it should be good like fest needs to know he's walking into yeah i'm sure harry will see a few of your fans after this show definitely he'll get the home representative i feel like i'm gonna get a bit of a little bit of hometown pop just because i'm fighting in italian yeah definitely oh we'll get a pair we'll get a pair of ireland glasses for you you can wear them out on your walk out and then the crowd will go nuts for you many people coming over to support you how are you um yeah yeah so i've got i've probably sold about like 10 tickets or something i'm not bad considering everyone has to [ __ ] fly and book a hotel and [ __ ] yeah but also considering uh floyd academy ireland probably have half the venue sold for them themselves is probably an understatement and so like i don't think there'd be a problem with ticket sales but like we're saying this is uh ireland's answer to ufc london uh this is some of the best young talent in the country getting a chance to perform on a massive platform in a massive venue but i'm absolutely buzzing for i can't wait for um it's i'm going on holidays and i come back and i feel like okay like i'm excited for for that as i am for the holidays you're going on holidays with your missus and just go fiancee sorry you're just going to be talking about uh cage where's belfast all the time man that'd be very you but lads before we wrap things up uh i just want to say if people want to get tickets make sure to go on the k on instagram go on to harry's instagram you can also watch the event live on uc fly pass it's going to be on the 25th of june last before we wrap things up uh can you tell the fans at home how you're going to get the job done on june 25th okay you can go first uh well festus is predominantly a striker he's represented gb and judo and that but it's really his secondary skill set it strikes until someone tries to grab him so i don't know put the pressure on federico had a very padded record up to this point like [ __ ] his his first six back in italy would just was shite like one of them was [ __ ] a foot taller i mean a foot shorter than him and had tits uh then he fought paul mcbain who the week before that fight had been knocked out holding pads for someone so i think you just you'll have this feeling of invincibility and i'm just going to get in his face get him really really tired and beat [ __ ] out of him you know he's apparently a black belt he fancies himself with the striker i think he was [ __ ] i'm just going to smack [ __ ] out of him this is frightening ross yeah i haven't heard him put that way before on here but i absolutely love her and
