Paul "Redser" Redmond joins the Energized Show during COVID lockdown to discuss his long Ireland MMA career, brutal weight cuts, and promotion experiences across Cage Warriors, KSW, the UFC, and Bellator. He describes starting at Team Rhino around 2008 on his own initiative after years of partying, turning pro through Cage Warriors, a month at American Top Team in 2011, and a heavy schedule of six or seven fights in a year before a short-notice UFC call forced a featherweight bout and a roughly twelve-day cut from about 84 kilos down to 66. He recounts extreme dehydration, sauna sessions, and feeling unable to take shots, while arguing MMA weight cutting is dangerous and needs tighter rules. On Bellator, he recalls winning at Bellator 217 about three years earlier, taking a quick turnaround after a weak Dublin card, and often fighting early on cards while bigger names headlined. He credits coach Andy Ryan for keeping him disciplined, compares how Cage Warriors, KSW, Bellator, and the UFC treat fighters, says Bellator offered his best deal with only about two weeks left on contract at interview time, and backs a Bellator lightweight grand prix once lockdown ends.

knockouts I am same with UFC you were just holy crap Mirko Cro Cop hey tecum fellows and Vandelay and all those girls just going through people whatever reason to stay look I wouldn't even been a big sports fan back then I wouldn't have been a big fan back then for whatever reason I just found myself watching it a lot I think a lot enjoyed watching again I even tried to do the gym and lift weights nine years ago I just watched my mayor just you know so it come to the point damn where was it the blade itto be [ __ ] you know eating the building so he feel like a talented breakfast olds and I'll rip the weekends it wasn't even healthy and want to change something I end up on the team Rhino was about a 10-minute walk from the house they usually down there combative and or should I say and just went down on my own or didn't really tell anybody that I was gone the ourselves through the way if it's the avatar I come for you never taller they're even getting peed again I'm just literally just to do something where it's a little bit different and then it just sort of snowball from there a be yeah how long you're there for until like you're like right this is what I'm gonna say like lay down I never pulled never true pointer at least I didn't have to show points for far away until we're a team right now so from that date from now five years I think 2008 and it was a week out in 22nd birthday 11 have you sorry 2008 Janelle and the 12 years in October yeah no yeah but like how long were you actually there for until and then you were like right this is something I'm gonna do I'm gonna stick years like so six months I think we took before us for an amateur got choked unconscious and they ten-second to the portal and I'm still heavy so I said look you know I was getting you know relatively okay for six months training and the gym and he says look yeah what - heavy fire I think a farm middleweight wait and so now I took me next week down a couple of weeks about 80 kilo I was a partner at Ceres brother and on last minute I'm in in Google Kukoc forensic ago he pulled them the data for Neil says - wonderful you to see of course not the only Louie strain of it we hang our rings but uh I'll be there who's gonna that was that was it that was what it was back then I'm so sleepy way too wonderful yeah I know wasn't me I mean Records gonna get this this no we didn't know guitar bill a day you know so and yeah cupola moon saying sorry about year and a half I'm sorry - amateur took about an amateur point and then we went pro but even then it was just when they went pro it wasn't like I'm gone proud to be here so to be that it was just a change of Realtors all it was it was just like yeah went pro build and it's gonna be a little bit twelve are now and you've got few different things in the caves that you can use and blow some air bows and stuff like that I'll be really was doing heel hooks now at the end of those it was more it was more to do with it it was just something old say you know and then could be I think I don't think it really hit me and so it was something that I could do professionally at a serious level so maybe I got into the Cage Warriors 10086 freud's and starting off pro and I think of my tree and tree so little mix mix they're sort of record I went over to American Top Team to train for a month and that was back in 2011 and I came back and then we went on the room with Cage Warriors wrote a half three years on beaten and then I got beat once in cages and then I did another for it then went to the UFC so it was sort of halfway through that list into the Cage Warriors namesake there was a little bit of momentum going we're off I was fighting quite regularly you know for maybe six times here I think two years running I did at 7:42 the year which is quite a nut you know so yeah you don't really look at it when they're in the midst the best but then you don't it's just in hindsight now we can look back on table I was in around that time and I really I just think just getting enough for you just came and Paul when you were sort of in a cage where is wrong then obviously got the UFC phone call that was on short notice and I guess again extraordinary tour fair ponent and Marissa back to cut point and do you feel like you're almost hired on boy in you're a UFC room dad don't go on the way cool and whatever about the force for you I know other people have taken and you know Sean oh it was for you take that and cook send my weight and go actually be in Cage Warriors Danny and brown he but yeah I think he took it Shauna was for you could certainly Tory pounds as well along well if alien fella yeah yeah good for you I know Stevie Ray took it for about three weeks now same similar sorta way to the pounds now boy first okay and so you know boo all those cause got the foyer at the normal way so Rob wafer had to cook the way to set I'll tell you fed away but he always completes a fed away yeah Stevie Ray got the car for a lightweight and he always competes that no way same Danny Brown are you gonna call and I had to go the featherweight which is 10 pounds more than I used usually for you that's where the court was so extreme if they haven't said no you wait and we ask for a way and they said no you know could we do a lowly wait for it this is now we want the Fed awake and they make fed away or not that was the option to hide like and almost when I need was able to get that phone call and be like wait that's got your goal too recently and then together I'd like and a lower weight class you're like are we training 80 kilos and the 20 pound drop over his fell over his face about six to eight weeks it's fine that still well you know I was for is that's about what people are dropping their vote twenty pounds but him when it's they're beaten into the Tauri pounds and going that extra 10 15 pound it's still much on the body and I was Tim I've seen it out for us the only thing was piercing the only years ago looks horrible at it and the nesters one off the top of my head oh you said he can't do it way I did from his second point in the UFC I think it was a tree month camp it was 12 weeks and I got right down I got me funny fight down as low as it could go 4% I looked great on the scales but I still had to take out 15 pounder water l me on the last 12 hours instead of the dehydrate me set up seven kilos of water which is 15 pounds but that's that's a lot of water yeah a big big at hand out Rob and obviously I hadn't really and probably enough it just I just can't take the shots at all right before you know yeah and you're you're looking as well that a Marissa basics name isn't one live now I mean so like people didn't realize the actual caliber opponent you are going into for lunch or and oldest well after all rate cuts last to where Josh and I think I think it was Pete's voice after major shame and somebody else all alkanes the damage he had for three rounds and elegance juice to [ __ ] head keep drop them swandam and but now I think he's finished everybody apart from me into the UFC okay so I do take a little bit of you know he was getting a massive push as well but I get looking back looking back in hindsight are you sort of like maybe if I had to turn up if I had to turn that opportunity down I could have got a like a 155 or I were you like yeah you have to take it so serious all about six months here it was for it was at the point Brad Pickett and I think this was a second 40 in the UFC for the Sweden so with that hold just before I had cuts on her just before we had that she approached me he was helping Nia get ready for that for you regardless for three years prior with Cage Warriors they always did a new hazing so helix so it meant they'd always been caught way over the Christmas always I hadn't had a big Christmas dinner or a noel or when they'll be friends in three years and that year I remember Cage Warriors canceling I was getting ready for there was meant to be an eerie as Ian show and they told us all to get ready in November for the card and then in the middle of December I think it was the show got canceled so I'd know for you I said okay there's no no cards called outside the cage where is that we knew they won't be back to bill for every because February because everyone's going to be you know having a a whale of a time over Christmas so we went out had a few things but you only say backed up for that was I was help I was still in the gym every day helping Nia for his point even though I was there a couple James I hope doing whatever would be mate you know and and it's the only way I was able to salvage some sort of cardio for that food because I remember going back to walk on the moon they say and I take my weight on the Tuesday and I was 84 kilos an assist I'd better start there get me way down a little bit now and on the tours they're checked at that moment it goes eighty two and a half kilos and that's when the car came in to make 66 and 12 days that's my Hardin I still don't know how we're four as months caught weight so elbow okay gentleman they forbade you it's not it's not did we don't quote it well that's the thing everybody thinks all right you tell people that's already you know anytime the Aster have anybody asks for a tantrum and it's horrific it really is it for that two weeks it was probably the worst two weeks and you know you've finished off with the most horrific day I probably everything we're ever experienced on this earth and I'm not trying to you know blow smoke up an index and that I mean realistically we had got the call and you're happy and all that you've got you know the UFC or a big organization like that one wants it away from you know you've obviously made a neighbor yourself you don't really cool things to get to that point and then it's short lived for about 60 seconds then they say well I do have the core if I hadn't made the way I missed weight between pounds I hadn't made the way it would have been totally 627 pound all in the core in 12 days that's nearly 40 pounds that's mental for that told two weeks all yet was a two-point Ameer today up maybe a half a break a half a Phillip fish some broccoli and maybe twice a day for two weeks when they're still trying to maybe 10 15 K that morning expired in session in the afternoon oh I may be a you know a fitness class that evening or jujitsu or whatever for two weeks and then followed by another hour skipper to get your weight down on two or three small meals then it comes to the last day of so yeah we had got to the UFC we derived that we can squeeze me and Andy and stuff and when you're really to the point a hotel they usually put on scans just to see how far off their way in if you know see where you're at so remember one of the guys and say you know to book mascara the near was about eight pound over for 125 yeah Oh Eddie bleep all up again and I was seventy seven point eight kilos on the Wednesday and I had to be 66 dead on Friday afternoon 77 that's not too bad I'm writes down more 54 ebony no no he's come to move forward before it and a man just looked at me subscribe book you know so that was that and then the last day I remember so you obviously have to cook I filled in the water no and 24 hours before and a lot of folios dildo just to sort of drain whatever's left in there buddy I remember sitting in the Sun for about four or five hours on the Friday in lnln L and then we didn't I stared the sauna on this at about 9:00 a.m. on the Friday morning and I didn't get out before he dropped that E so you didn't have a hotel room you just done with your room that was me real I didn't get any sleep that night because of so doj go to bed and I think I think of the day the way in there seven hours all you had left was the organs in your body a bit of Lord there whatever hair you have in your head I'm saying you know I've seen heard okay boy is calling to the extreme that was past extreme you know I remember heard in John Linder car used to be like that every for you company B's to be cutting them in and LLL do this on it and at one point to me to be blue maybe piss and blood basically because there's no there's no water left in when you cook wait the water comes from everywhere your brain kidneys their blood and say a blood thickens up so the reason why there's deaths when people Kuwait is blue gets so kick your heart can't pump it around because it's not liquid it's not as liquid as water it gets so kick and you're had just a trace and that's what a lot of people have heart attacks when I can wait because of that that's the reason for it so if that's how bad it gets you know what a bit like comparing that way code to like way codes for your most reason for it's an old are two different weights for have you learned certain techniques that help you drop the way the easier now over time now I tried at the ceremony when I was forced and the Kuwaiti 70 kilos but had no idea what I was doing not a lot many people pick cotton weight is a science it's a point so and so you can [ __ ] it up fairly easy you know if your arms if you were about to treat yourself from a for you and your weight equally and everything sort of measure there down to the last parameter protected you go where would say have a big meal like you know only one meal can [ __ ] your whole wake up it's it's that it's down to the wire so for years I used to I'd be trying to read and Google stuff on what's better walk away and I would read a lot and I've tried every doing it no the man just to see if the weight come down low carb high carb Cairo and Atkins list goes [ __ ] on values and the basic thing is is eat 90 percent clean olive oil and that ten percent is like a cheap meal a meal or a song when they're in camp you eliminate the cheap beer and maybe pull some field back closer to the for you that's it you just got it leave the lowest or don't don't go partying too much and just look after yourself baby I'm the rest look up itself because obviously we're in the gym to treatment today six days if yeah if you're not milling the field the way that come down naturally and off you know and but we are abusing our body it's just taxing it really is if you found out typical to stay very straight from your daughter because I don't see you working building as well and you're a DJ for LA as well yeah I'm fine if you if you if you don't prep or if you fail to prepare prepare to fire basically so if you some when I mean before you come at the minute now I've started I won't say like II still like a low-key and clean the loop feeling good I hate I don't like feeling [ __ ] but like saying the evening I'll have two bottles of beer no problem children watching the TV they don't really do that too often go we're in lockdown okay amazing amazing I have a focus Alec when the one of the story that we did there they were there to pray yeah and you know pronounce it was 84 okay are there and obviously I have a beer or two after that you know believe that now I'll just again I'm looking clean and look at the what-ifs oh hey you know you used to hate I used it you know put abrupt peace abruptly near me now [ __ ] sake just frustrated with myself but then it did the more you there with the more you enjoy feeling good that's and just to finish up on the way he couldn't there if someone actually videos your wake up for Sweden will that have been reminisce no I don't know if you saw the time down until did his way quartz or soy bird bit her awake or I'd say it would probably be destroyed probably you tears there's no tears left in me I was that's really it would've been happy to Croix to lose my water way I just remember we were in the Sun to that point where we had about a half an hour before I had to go to the boss to the scale and Andy and then a list of my dragon being at literally I might go over to tool and get dragged in an elder son and when the commenced on he gonna wrap it up the towels over here that so they covered me in towel content details all you could see was this elderly faces worried and it was soon it was it was an open sore the sauna and gym room where you know it was women and men could sort of knock Rambo just remember this woman coming in and she said oh my god what is wrong with him I near pulled around today it says I know he's just way for a box much well where is he for it and he's not for you anyway since he's going tomorrow he's not ready to go to the hospital through say ten people don't see they do see is on the point now you walk and you know they that's terrific and it's a stupid practice anyway look up boxes they don't put too much weight they're not they're not some sorry some sort organizations make them have reweighing close it up they'll be more definitive cause the next day or whatever and MMA needs to get some sort a handle on to be prepared or dubois at Bellator they have a going to come with Missouri and he's from the head Commission in America somewhere can't think of any way and he comes in he tells he turns all the boys would stop poking court why don't we still be your foot better at the next way hook the problem with that is I've only made the jump up the world away the boys are monsters so unless they mill unless we're all forced to mill walk away we have actually all you would prom much better performances ever could for you 77 kilos I think I did like Polaris at 77 kilos obviously not to say and for it's a 10-minute much you weigh in the day before I do it and write down stood on the scales went straight and handles with Andy's felt great Africa I think they went up about two kilos you know just wrong like eat and I'll be there you know so we think if they move the whole roster away class it before and low weight now before your well time before your world and there we are in Midway now we did they're just not caught the way it's still point the same voice st. the same way wounded you know yeah before we go a better career and also your training on down D Ryan can you just tell a few things like how important these been to your career as well because you said all the biggest characters in order to show them a yeah the daddy of MMA is me Gollum I don't think I would have pushed yourself and to sort of the lemon star I got there are you know when they're coming up when they you know took MMA sorry I took combat sports would say oh very lately in my career in milolii face and I understand I meet week out that me 22nd birthday and I was brutally we spoke and show you know and we look anyone trying to new spot let's be honest about it and but it just kept out at night and a day for for about a year I used to be smoke joints going down to the gym do me walk out I have like joints made by walking home you'd be smoke away and you'd be still going out the weekend I didn't know what to what an athlete no story was to live he obviously lived it since is a young age because I think he's been doing judo since you know four or five years of age so he lived that like at least or all his life and I know he didn't know what it was basically our punter in the gym yeah your trainer everyone else if you can do whatever the [ __ ] you want so I didn't even after someone reported you would think I take the foot off here I'll go mad for a few weeks it wouldn't let you do that you know so don't think you're fair if I wasn't being coached by Andy I don't think I would have pushed yourself to the places that I go I'll always be thankful it's great it was great here and like we have to get into Bellator Korea right I remember you were fightin Bellator there was a couple ago couple a couple of events ago the person yeah yeah I think was bent or was a 217 when you fall at Ranieri no no I don't want before that I know we absolutely know we seen it so it was about three years ago with Obama Bellator one bomber tours we called up I had four they were asking me if I'm ever asked me to 40 million scope over in the UK for the bomber belt and they were putting on the bomb and Dublin on whatever date and I says that's no problem with the for you perfect well let's steal the doom another a micelle on that but they wanted scope because obviously was a Newcastle scopes big deal over there yeah sort of weed everyone wanted in that hallway you know so we left it and then farmer get was a released early on KSW they were here the week before so head did before you focus to view and then it was very bad primer bellator bombs I was I two weeks after casting you know I did the flavor Hair Studio down the tree in it and then I was taking a week off it was it was a ground for you if no injuries no not from it was good or gotta win I took a week off and then on that week off they rang handy and I said those Reds are wanna for you on their belt off next week so said [ __ ] let's do it you know not a way hadn't gone back up too much and I'd asked for 73 catch rate they said no problem and that was that for usually Bellator would be on second because I was it's a big US promotion for whatever reason Bellator ended up gaunt forced yes for the Bellator card which meant I was forced right now all night everyone was saying what's the focus was the AJ McKee bro more for you yeah I remember too many people there I've got to get went in got me win kick back with a few beers and for the rest of the for a Chad watch debut on 14 it was great yeah put the story out cell it was Bellator 2 to 17 and you like Ross will be the main go like you know he's fountain knowledge with the anime store for there he come goes always when you go with the interview here oh my god you probably don't remember this poor me bar you always do the show together right you're a part of energized royalty right this is my favorite if you I've never been part of on energized barri kicks off he's interviewed you he goes hope you don't mind but I should be nervous because listen to it oh yeah Russ is usually because all the interview so polite he come go so like I always liked we all go and then I like nervous before this before I like I went over interviewing you and then I go have you have you like do ground here you and I go I'm actually a bit nervous I was like yeah no yeah I'm only joking and we had the conversation I think it's like near episode 100 people are watching it back but then I remember at the very very end I asked what are you gonna have what you're gonna eat after a fight and you said you've been out pancakes for chinise then you went to a one-pager injured stillborn and when I put a pancakes with your knees and then I was like ever since then I was like dad there was that story on the podcast and he hasn't been loaded for you anymore what ever since will there resin Josie Johnson there with Bellator and like people do you say is the same boys and razor on the main card what isn't Reza like one the headliners and then I saw your an interview and you're like you don't get [ __ ] [ __ ] that's what I do look to say I don't would be it would be an understatement I did of course if you would say look nobody foreign and you look at whatever it is what it is oh just say is it for you the reason why I say that is I'm not gonna keep up for if they don't want to nobody wants fun demands for the tub card or whatever so beer yeah are you just like here I don't care and then you're gonna like try and prove it that you should be now I think don't need to prove because they like you're saying we learned before each other at hand and I don't for you to steal away jab jab jab jab I go for every time if that means that I get beat in the process of doing it it is what it is and but I would rather be an entertainer for Danny wound that gets all the wins really boring and no horns that people want to see it's great that I'm the time to rock into town everybody keeps up full so it means people like to see me so yeah you're one of the most loyal want to see me for you they will flee so maybe it's her I did the way I see is the Doudna because of two reasons a to fill up the place for the undercard to make it busy for Yuma card or whatever or it could be that I'm not that popular maybe I don't or maybe they don't draw here for the very could be DJ and later on that night you know reds are all actually think the honest truth is if you train that SPG on a jaunt Abner you get a better robe of the green on car positions I think SPG I'm John Cavanaugh has so much pull when belt or come to Google start the SPG for has got the robe of the car according I have miles price on earlier in the week and he was sort of feeling that way you ever feel like the SPG goes are treated better than everyone else John's overdue his team with SPG or whatever so he same way SPG I'm sorry if he's him a pellet saw I'm he's the man going for them he's got a big stable forest obviously gonna find out here whatever John once again I'm not gonna stack kicking up folks head or not getting this I'm not getting that to shoot the focal for you yeah I said what most points as well at they get like myself a roster follow or follow the for business and they would like we know when the orange last deal well it'd just be a like which one thought they were Schwartz new well they're like I mean certain people in particular like yourself who's like a lot of the people come to your in a to see you so like don't say they don't because they're all going to be out of the party Richard Porter you'll be great if they that certain people like if a lot the portion I mean because if it just hopes there or if I'm amazing himself but some don't think that sort of it's a flu strain would say is the novice amateurs I don't know so it's a big or is that oh no old one I'll be able to maybe for your foods when days that can placements way ahead of goes with 24 they great 24:08 and I don't fall and all they had organizations that [ __ ] you fought everywhere Reza maybe as I'm saying so a lot of experience there so I think it makes your gonna earn your way or free so when people were relatively no experience and can't boom the behavior or you know then it just becomes frustrating and I think it's so some people say the same thing maybe they don't vote for me as I saw the season they're proud will say it's been around a long time they own it and yeah it gets a little astray yeah it seems like like just from the outside looking in because it seems that if you if you go to the ballot or I'll show you if you go to if you go train SPG then you have a perfect opportunity and career path con the battle toward which is great if you wanna make money and do it that stuff that's great but it seems like if you're in team wrong or if you're in team KF and you want to get to the you see you did the SPG is not the path really I don't know it just seems like certain focused I think look I think I think being affiliated with a gym is only gonna get you so far on example if you can't back it up as a foyer forget about so in peloton and they're looking to get to the top the Bellator division I get the strap and it's a wall strap don't make no no honorable said on that level animals if you were looking to get to that and you're going to Bellator do and they're not as good as what you think feel whatever Jimmy are ever in luck even if you get the shot they're gonna get P or you're gonna get film do and it's the same if you goat is for clean cage what is and whatever the cream always goes to the top and that's that's that loser man that watching there from or watching RL you might get a couple of opportunities on the way we'll say go do not good enough you'll be found it's a cool spot to find out they're good or follow what I'm saying hopefully whoever's listening now they understand that like we just want all the or is there well I know is the orders to count themselves and just to some guys I hear you know should we do it around that's that's all these no it's just cuz their [ __ ] legs as well they did you've been everywhere and people like are from like you're on the main people people are going to the arena for so it's just like I feel like you should get a better group of the green I want to see you on that post or on the data station from 22 you fought Cage Warriors KSW Bellator UFC which promotion did you think was like Obama as well which motion you think was actually the best for being a foyer been organized been looked after there are quits and I really you know I tell you this Eric Conn's do absolutely that's you know wankers and that's just wrong avoid some of the people that we met in the UFC they lose the background all staff on there are lovely well like that puttin on a couple of weeks no no give on the Wayans not our way wait that you for yeah same the second one and they knew it for you wait don't give a [ __ ] to still [ __ ] cash machine you know don't pick they literally give anybody a call anybody any way around the world and they know they'll get that signature on the on the contract and their transistor here we have seen you hear that and you think I just I do that I do that but the times are saying do you know people again people are boys look at all this and solve it people are gone with the moon is a what to say they used to think at the start when I was fighting for juicing hard cells even when I was a browser like that it was just the only just to do I never read the contract you get to this level you know where I'm at yeah but then again at that level I don't have to spend the 10 years the only well then that's exactly what it comes down this money that's it it's a the mom when you can get go free yeah because it's a strong career and proferred yeah so to tell you the truth at the contract I might never palette are is the best contract of being true LOL congrats you deserve I think I've got two weeks left on this after my name explosion do that for the toward for you so let's see where but I'm happy with parents are I really have a low if it goes over there later waited you takes and they push it a little bit under a on the solution made yes they don't pass too much it leave it long to train you know and I lose that okay it's truly were great time Cage Warriors down brilliant half ago is a bomb a whip ballot are so you know what they are look the only time you ever seen ago is it's the last week when yeah when it's 40 week so and maybe won't Suppan race down at that at all as well so yeah they're really nice that's the thing that's the thing I think people they're like sort of jump on there and watch MMA they sort of just tanked his only you'll see and then and probably they just probably because they saw Connor well now like you can see the lads may make him read good money in Bellator whereas they probably get on half that if they're do you say so I mean from most of them words like you get read get the bread one but yeah even McKay has to be your case W do their own thing which I actually think is really a really good the don't oversell I've had it snowing voids you go they put on a big huge reduction they stopped a KSW are great even the top goes man and can't even realize that they were on sale I think I had 140 left on the contract maybe two and I said to them I said look pellet are doing this European division I think I can make a little bit more money gone there not a whole lot marble it's something the Guru says if you if that's what you want to do we release it in no contract no way oh no problems well he didn't have to do that they could have left me sit on the Shelf another year I think I had left on the contract not me not the one thing I would have been the year that they let me go they wish me well and you know to me that's that's that's a much better way of doing business you mean it makes everyone happy at the end of the day I just want to get into the belt or low weight division and we when we have bro more on we brought up the Bellator bantamweight grand prix an ting on one one because there is no bantamweight champion at the moment oh just cause everyone's gonna chomp out to be to get back into it as soon as this lockdowns over do you think about where a low weight Grand Prix will be worth putting on as well and maybe the winner damn for his people because he's sort of tied up in the featherweight Grand Prix yeah I think that's the only way to do it you have to pull in it again guys I think maybe it would have been born there if he's still too [ __ ] Grand Prix's back-to-back you know I think the I think people at low a way you know we do here hand stuff like that and we're just holding up the tool belt it's hard you know you're hungry so far you know we get that strap for next [ __ ] whatever so he beats hedgerow and so what's that is that the 74 ends that's gone now that's quatrefoil and then we beat in weight division any probably take about her father for oneself to let himself he look for money injuries ladies come true from that rigorous so for its schedule so that's the [ __ ] doesn't always get there's nobody getting a belt in the low weight division for the next year you know so and you could certainly feel that you could certainly do a fool and Grand Prix to the belt there's no benefits with it yeah yeah that's cool all that I also think with the lockdown and everyone want for you everyone's gonna want to fight you as soon as the lock turns over and makes perfect sense to you know have the brackets set up ready to rock yeah there we go and you definitely interested after being in that bracket at the thing with the lockdown monster is his boys are going to be healed from injury still that Nichols for years and you know you're with them have had some serious injuries there as well that's found at all attack that's good as gold now so I think a lot of it this bit of time off is all the photos just will be commented they like camp no injuries no [ __ ] so it's gonna be yeah I'm going to be back on a percent haha absolutely who do you want Frederick oh don't worry I never really look like that because the table is is and what way you're gonna do it they're gonna give me a you're assuming every order pain division for the European series are they gonna take someone over there again from the states and when they did with George on last minute then carrots I just got people yeah gargle people prema self didn't yeah Sonique I do so if they want to do some review or pain division they say that they won't do serve America if they want me to go to America I'll do that because they've got I've got the if the US visa as well so I'm happy for our state so as well they pushed me to do the US visa stuff like that so I can do that what about if you did this ID you poor eight European fighters and you put them in one bracket and a North American forest put them in the Brock the winner for each other and the winner for its pitbull yeah still jeez all you should get a job abandoned or [ __ ] he doesn't that [ __ ] yeah poor yeah all the bantamweight slow the band my idea yeah I mean look if there's a if there's a path they're up for grabs why not you know that should be it's an easy call you know especially if they're already doing that Grand Prix so and I think everybody knows because it's something to follow up with his face without knowing once a year you know it's pretty easy to follow and well yeah it's an easy decision to do the bantamweight one it's just the obviously I mean it makes sense for a number one contender's [ __ ] Lloyd wait excuse me the new wave bracket for it's a nice yeah be perfect I'm started on a pedal toward open in October go ahead here's what boys I think it'll go ahead in October almost yes I think there's no big events of September and I think October they'll be able to roll oh maybe you might not be able to pull whatever it is thirteen fourteen thousand people there you might be up there four thousand people in there and have a say I think they actually lose where they put the cage they lose about 2,000 or 3,000 so they can only fit ten in anyways when the cage so they can only fit ten in it so if they're doing for it they have to open up the whole arena I have space see you know and not about it therefore the four thousand you know and it be still great and that's what mommy used to do down there they only ever did three and a half baby and for their yeah be afraid that one you see they used to bring the Octagon a bit more into the middle of the floor didn't they and then they use have seating behind as well I suppose Bellator have like that more of a doobie doobie we East oil entrance would like the toy intron heard like the Bennett or like titantron it is they but we always say MIT press row so I was like we always have the best seats and the house so it's great but I think it before at the toilet intron I'm just like it makes the foyers little cooler as they come here it goes like I'm like I'm like but also if you don't know for your and then the quail on the toilet time you like right it's not secure like oh yeah come here with two kinds of late bored annoyed 3:16 under short-run the next time went down you better have to board the stove they me at the top of the cage the Big Red Machine resume and I feel legend thanks man corn on the show yeah we're gonna actually want to set up to do it
