ireland and the uk's hottest prospects we have kate bakic and we have shawna bannon guys how are we doing good good all good great great so guys we'll get straight into it uh first thing i want to know is how is floyd camp going especially with the current lockdown restrictions at the moment we'll start off with yourself kate um i mean obviously the restrictions make things a little bit more difficult but i haven't really stopped training throughout the lockdown and you know i i've come from a mentality that i have to use what i have and do what i can so i'm doing that so nothing's really changed for me and i've just accepted that this fight comes gonna come with some limitations um but i'm not thinking about it much i'm thinking about what i can actually do compared to a lot of people that can't train and i'm happy with what i got and what about yourself shauna yeah it's going really good to be honest um nothing's really different from me um i still get to trying to say i'm lucky that i have my dad's gym that i can train him whenever i want as well you know so it's pretty much the same for me still getting the same training and trying hard same as normal nothing's really different even though that we are in a pandemic but it's all the same yeah i suppose it keeps you more focused than anything girls outside just there's no distractions there's nothing in the way you're just in flight camp and that's it you can't really do anything else with your life at the moment so just give some background into this it's sort of this this video we were in touch with clown war saying that we wanted to have like some of the best fighters on the show and they gave us they told us that the two lads in the main event josh and chad and then the youtube girls as well and we were like yes let's do it if we're gonna create history with the two lads create history with the two women as well i mean like this is i'm pretty sure this is going to be a thing that people are going to do constantly but like shauna there is one question i have to ask before we get into it like the back and forth like you you just recently had a child is that like how does how does that feel now going into a training camp just have to become a mother by the way as well congrats by the way as well yeah no i've been trying to train right up until the day before i gave birth so i didn't stop trying my whole pregnancy and like that time off just made me grow mentally even stronger you know so like even though i might have been inspiring while i was pregnant i was still doing everything that i could do and to me i didn't take a break like in my mind it was still part of what i could do and as well like i didn't really get to miss out on that much because no one got to fight last year anyway so yeah true um no like i feel grand i didn't like when i was pregnant i thought i wouldn't be fighting until may but when i went back trying to me i recovered very fast and i felt normal like i didn't even feel like i had given break i just felt like i took a little break and went straight back into it so uh i was confident to take the fight for march yeah muscle memory is a real thing yeah like i'm trying to since i'm traced but my body's used to it you know yeah yeah jesus that's that's incredible in itself and congratulations as well by the way jason of course um so uh i just want to sort of get into the actual thought itself obviously you know you put it down on paper and you sort of go str uh striker versus grappler but it's not really because i've seen uk i've seen you you do your pad work and i've seen you grapple as well sean like you know i mean like it's not you know you're not absolutely you know fishing with the water in one one spot and you know an absolute shark and the other so um kate how do you feel you know you're going to take this fight on is the plan to get it to the ground i mean it's mma isn't it so i'm i'm training to be ready for whatever happens and you know i've been training martials for like 10 years now and my aim's always been to you know improve my mma which obviously includes both grappling and striking um but yeah i'm ready for everything and what about yourself shauna you know obviously kate's grappling them accolades are quite well respected as your striking ones are you planning on keeping this on the feet because that's where you're you're at home yeah now like even when they announced the fight as grappler versus striker i was kind of pissed off because i was like i'm not a striker i'm a mix of my flight artists they do everything like so when they said that it was kind of like we'll see on the day it'll be a mixed martial arts fight like i if it goes to the ground i'm confident in the ground and i'm confident and striking as well so that actually sort of reminds me of when uh conor became the interim champ and they go what's that i'm getting off my shorts that's hilarious like no you could have to ask before you introduce someone or something it's like no i'm not a striker both these are actually going into this probably with the most collective amount of followers as well and like everyone knows in the mma game like you have to sort of build up your own brand and how important it is to have an audience following you which is like um like you know i mean that's why everyone's looking for it the more followers the more money is you you make look at connor look at jake paul everyone in between but like looking at this now guys like where'd like with you training now are you looking to just face off with each other or are you looking to like um are you trying to one day get on to a bigger um bigger shows and go for world titles like what's sort of driving your ambition to become uh like an all-rounded mixed martial artist yeah well like my goal is the ufc like so i want to be ufc champ one day um so like i'm planning on taking my professional career up in the next little while once i take a couple more boxes um and yeah ufc is the angle okay for yourself uh well i'm just gonna say the same you've seen an adcc bow that's the two boats i'm working towards and i've been working for ages and obviously i'm coming off a long break i haven't fought mma in three years uh so for me it's still just the beginning really um i've been focusing on my grappling on my wrestling for the last few years because i wanted to make sure that when i come back i come back fully prepared for whatever um and now it's it's just you know um beginning the beginning for the beginning of an ending for a very uh a lot of people i would say in the uk especially um but yeah two boats i've got on my mind and i'm working towards ufc adcc and everything else is just stepping stones until then that's that's incredible both have very lofty goals yeah you know you know what i don't doubt either woman you know i mean uh i'm a firm believer if you can get to you know world champion in one sport you have a world champion mindset and you can get to a world champion in another sport well i suppose when it comes down to it and it comes down to fight night shauna how do you see the fight going i'm gonna knock her out and then kate how do you see the fight going um i'm gonna show that i'm where i'm at fighter and i'm gonna finish i'm probably going to take her down and choke her how do you actually feel uh sean about kate saying that it's not going to happen okay how do you feel about trying to say she's going to knock you out i think i'm a better fighter than than talker i'm not gonna chat i'm just gonna let my ass go show on the night funny you say that after your post on instagram oh what was the post on instagram saying something about lip fellers and tan i've been pregnant the past year how can i get lip fillers and go on a sunbed like i don't know why you have to take someone's appearance into the situation and fight and we'll do it at the top i thought she was actually talking about me uh okay do you have anything to say back there no i'm not really oh well there you have it maybe it seems to be a bit of a one-sided words but um i wouldn't if someone posted something about me on instagram i probably wouldn't even know about it and never found out about it ryan was someone that um has fought on a show with you before and she follows yes so she said to me last night and that was how i realized but um yeah keyboard gangster oh wow so would it be a bit of extra venom in your punches then come fight no china there was going to be venom there anyways okay well there we have it the globe i don't really care i don't get too emotional a person when it comes to fights um i respect shauna as a fighter she's got more experience than me i don't really care i don't know her i don't know what she's came from i don't know her background it's not for me to judge what i know is i've got skills that i'm going to show in the night and that's it and i don't give a about any talk no i'm i'm pretty sure the parents are going to put on a fantastic performance as well it's uh it's something that myself and roster second we started why it was announced we're like right this is something that we're looking forward to we're sure ross you're putting in the comments this is uh what was it it should be the main thing this this should be the main event yeah i was wondering who that was that was coming up that was actually me because i actually think clown wars are missing a trick here where they could actually put two women for the first time ever domestically as a main event i don't think two women have ever domestically main invented in ireland and i think it's a great opportunity to do it on irish soil so i actually was the one who said that clown wars made this the main event and i do think this fight has a lot of traction and i think there will be a lot of eyes on this comfort night yeah 100 uh the two girls will be fighting on cage war uh yeah okay sorry clown wars 39 on the 20th of march and uh we're going to put a link down in the boil for you to make sure to check it check it out and then and purchase it as well because like if you want
