Energized Show sits down with Ryan Shelley of Team KF ahead of his second professional MMA bout against Lee Malloy at Cage Warriors 127 on UFC Fight Pass. Shelley says Chris Fields offered him the short-notice booking about 12 days earlier and that he accepted immediately despite Leon’s prior short-notice Cage Warriors loss. He describes Malloy as a strong southpaw striker with a solid amateur record and expects a tough stand-up fight, while saying he would be comfortable if it hits the ground. Shelley outlines his background in taekwondo and kickboxing with the national team, a world championships win around age 21, and a move into MMA roughly four years before the interview, often training alongside his brother Adam. He credits Team KF’s team atmosphere, Chris Fields’ coaching, and recent gym momentum—including James Webb’s Cage Warriors title and Ian’s success before leaving—as motivation. Shelley has no multi-fight Cage Warriors deal yet but hopes an impressive win leads to a longer contract and a title push over the next two to three years. He also picks Paul Hughes to beat Morgan Sherry for the interim featherweight title and thanks sponsors Top 10 Martial Arts and Complex.

[Music] [Applause] okay what's going on guys welcome to a brand new episode of energize russ introduce the guest well bosmo this is definitely one to watch straight out of team kf it is one of the hottest part prospects ireland has to offer it's mr roy and shelley ryan tell us where are you that's some intro lads jesus so i'm fighting with cage warriors on thursday as part of the trilogy um so this would be my second professional fight i won my debut on clown wars back in june and um literally about when would i say about two weeks ago now about 12 days ago the gaffer chris fields rang me and he said how are you feeling and i was like good and he goes do you want to fight on cage warriors in two weeks and i said absolutely so uh here we are now and then tell us this um rowan what you know about your opponent lee malloy because uh we actually did a face off i don't know if you saw between dominique wooden and nathan fletcher and nathan fletcher described lemoy malloy as the best southpaw striker in the uk in ireland yeah definitely of a i've had a good look at a good few of his fights he seems very good his amateur record is good and i've seen his last few fights so uh he's a good striker i'm a good striker you know i'm expecting a good fight here a tough one i think it's going to be really good and roy for those people who don't know it what makes you such a unique prospect um i'd say the fact that like i've been doing martial arts a long time so although i'm quite a newcomer to a to mma sort of still i'd say a lot of people are like sort of who's that still like you know i'm only doing mma for four years but um i've been doing take one don't kickbox in a really long time so i've been competing a long time i know the drill i know how it works so although i'm green in the mma scene i'm very experienced in other areas so i think that's going to show on jersey yeah we've we've had a bit of cracking online as well the shelley brothers who's going to be in your corner this weekend i'm sure adam's there as well and the pa as we called them this morning in the corner will be adam and chris fields there we have a an absolute dream team and things are really exploding at the moment uh in team kf obviously taco went off and he won his pro debut you know you're going to go try go 2-0 camille will also be making his cage warriors debut what is it in the water team k at the moment and what makes them one of the best up-and-coming teams in the country yeah get that one a lot lads it's just it seems to be like the buzz in the gym at the moment um is just unreal and to be honest with you from the first day i've stepped into the gym there's been that buzz you know so it's not as if it's came out what exactly is the voice ryan ryan what exactly is the balls i know i just interrupted her but there is something totally different in tkf that has been across all the gyms yeah we do interviews with a lot of people across a lot of gyms but there is something special with team kf oh definitely like if you if you ever come down first of all like the crack does be 90 like you know so although like we we work really hard and we get some serious work done but we also have serious banter with all the lads like sodas although it's in i would say although it's an individual sport it's very much a team atmosphere at kf so that's what i find anyway and um just me myself like you know i don't really like the whole individual aspect of it of soldiering on on your own like i think it's good to have a few lads there that you can bounce off and then you work together and sort it so it seems then that like everyone sort of gets to a high level like working with the team if you get me you know what i mean so that's all i find anyway um roy can i ask have you signed a multi-void contract with cage wires now or is this a just a one-point deal or what is that working this is a wonderful idea because it was a short notice i literally just jumped in so um hopefully like if i impress here i'll probably uh and if i get the win in an impressive fashion i'll probably sign a deal and uh i'd like to stay with cage cage warriors for the foreseeable future yeah obviously obviously you would have fought loads uh doing kickboxing so you would have thought like a lot of maybe in one day yeah we saw a shout out to leon but like leon went over last time and he just jumped into short notice and then he got yeah he went oh and one like i mean did you did you think about that how important it is to the keep the oh i did a little bit but you know i've been training hard so i mean weight was good so it wasn't really a case of uh well i won't i don't feel ready i felt very ready i don't really do the whole camp thing you know of uh like shooting up my way and then like getting off the couch and then doing night weekend i'm sort of always tipping around in the gym so i'm never too far away from a fight that's the way i like to be anyway so then so that when opportunities like this come i'm like yeah i'll be there so and i'm never really one to you know shy away from a challenge like this like so i'm gonna jump in and take it no problem and tell us this obviously uh having your brother there and having him as a foiler as well yeah you guys are you guys constantly keeping each other in check and then constantly like on each other's case to make sure you're both being the best athletes you can be oh you want to see our gap over the pandemic like they were just battling each other in last year because obviously the gyms were clowns like you know so we ah we're just we're just pumping the head off each other like just sparring every day at the backyard like so and then so that that kept the sharp lift you know and who plays referee there now at home if probably no one really had me down there he'd probably be watching a little bit he's turning it off he's just he's so secretive at this stage and we actually have an older brother who we he he he had a black belt in taekwondo as well he doesn't do it anymore but so as you can imagine when the three of us were kids it was just it was a nightmare my god for i was back yeah most people most people say you box the head off each other you were kicking the head off each other yeah yeah we're doing a bit of votes yeah if you want to watch any of the behind the scenes of uh ryan shetty kicking everyone's ass especially his brother's asses make sure to follow him on instagram but ryan obviously this is one to watch as well and it's great to have you on like can you tell us a bit more about the background you mentioned your bow brothers like like how did y'all sort of come into it yeah so we started again so like three boys growing up in the house you know was a bit wild so my dad got us into taekwondo when we were younger because i think there was a local club around the area in swords and so we started there and that that was going well like it never never took it too seriously like i always did taekwondo and played football you know and then sort of when when we got to our teen years adam started competing with the national team and i followed sue from there we started a kickboxing then and then we're just traveling a lot with the national team between taekwondo and kickboxing going abroad plenty of times a year and then so we we won a major tournament taekwondo the world championships and then i was about 21 at the time and obviously just with the wave of mma with mcgregor conor mcgregor and everything that was going on there it had been on my mind for a while so um i said i wanted to make the jump and and adam was eager to do it too and we built a transition to mma then about four years ago and uh roy and one thing that i'm always interested in is you know obviously there's the pettis bros the diaz bros there's vanilla bros when it's all said and done and the shelley bros hang up their gloves where will they rank in terms of brothers of all time actually don't forget the edwards bros as well yeah i think we're gonna go pretty far to be honest with you um and again like i think what we've done now we're only we're only touching on the surface but i think i think we have a long way to go you know um adam's working hard behind the scenes so am i and i think that's really going to show in the next two to three years definitely yeah another another thing i want to bring up as well obviously obviously ian's now left the team but seeing ian like reach like i'm going to lift the toilet like obviously the whole team now back in team cafe are like right we if we follow this recipe we can go straight to the top as well absolutely you know you know yourself like ian's fully homegrown like you know he he trained all his mma career at team kf and um and he's that he'll be the first of many you know james webb won a cage warriors world title as well uh we've like we said we mentioned we attack it now with efc it just seems that everyone is going to start shooting up in the next little while and um so i'm just kicking in the door with cage wires but there'll be many many behind me coming so looking forward to that yeah i think you guys saw chris throw a tweet out there the other day saying that they're eight and two or something in their last ten points and if you can keep an eighty percent win record yeah that's something else for any gym yeah absolutely yeah chris likes to do it at the percentage thing so if that doesn't keep you honest they don't know what will you know yeah well russ that's the thing isn't it once you can see the yellow brick road it just makes it like a dream so much more like seems so much more achievable absolutely yeah absolutely and you know you have guys like chris fields like tom king action daily like they've been there they've done that and called pendrick seems to be taking like a sort of management role uh within the gym and looking after all the guys as well so like it seems to be a recipe for success uh like we said at the you know to start the show there seems to be something in the water there everyone seems to be drinking out the same kid that seems to be part of what's made the team so successful i mean everyone seems to have a very similar mindset to be you know the best mixed martial artist they can be on a level head in their shoulders and i'm sure if you step out of line you know me and chris put you back in there sharpish absolutely yeah yeah i was only saying earlier to when the cage was guys we were talking he sort of he's got that in all their brother vibes but then he's also got that like angry dad vibes like you know so he can do both like you know he's good at managing between the two uh yeah we have a great relationship between like a chris and all the lads you know it's very individual so yeah it's great yeah so um guys if you haven't watching this make sure to check out roy and shelly versus malloy on cage warriors 127 this thursday only on ufc fight pass it's one not to be missed it will be an unbelievable stand-up affair if it hits the deck we'll see where it goes from there and both these men are uh stronger on the feet so it'll be very interesting to see and then you know it could be it could be a conor mcgregor dustin poirier moment you know he who sure shoots first is a yeah we'll see what happens there um like obviously i don't go in with it with a mad game plan to any fight but you know if it hits the ground i think i'll be comfortable there and i'm like obviously i see it going standing you know see the fight being a striking affair but if it hits the ground we'll see what happens from there so looking forward to yeah just a couple of word things wrong because i know you have to like it a featherweight title is on the line yeah on friday uh it's being contested by paul hughes and morgan sherry the interim title um what way do you see that going down um i see paul getting that to be honest with you um morgan's very good but i just think paul in his last few fights has has really impressed me and i think in the rematch like so when he beats morgan i think he'll be jordan as well yeah i think he won the first fight to be honest with y'all that was very close but uh i see paul getting that fed away title by the end of the year another thing obviously we're going to people are going to look back at this energize wants to watch mr ryan shelly ryan what do you want to say to say to people they're going to be either tune in on thursday or like or what do you hope to achieve in your career now uh what would you like to say to the shelly army yep so again um just like sit back and enjoy the show on thursday and i'm looking forward to you know putting on a big show and getting a getting a good win here and then um i think hopefully you know please god you see me like with cage warriors for long term you know two to three years i'd like to work my way up and they start working towards that title as soon as i get this first one done so yeah you might be seeing me here for a while yeah and is there any responses you want to shout out as well just
