keeper like you're obviously fighting next saturday on bellator 263 so we had to get you on the show how's training going man you're obviously this is this is one of the strangest training camps you've probably ever done um no not really i mean it's i was training has been going great for the past few months to be honest and i don't really do training camps per se you know i mean i train all the time anyway and obviously when i organize a fleet maybe i'll ramp up the cardio a bit more relax on the calorie is a bit more or maybe spar a bit more you know i do things differently but i don't really do camps i don't like start the camp and do this and i just train anyway but i am yeah i came out the corners for you and james scala has been telling me you know onto me for the past year to come out here at the kansas and train and uh i took him up on his ward and i'm glad i did to be honest in a bit of a weird stay at the minute it's just now yeah we know it's a head wreck so over here there's no such thing as culverts uh oh i'm only back from a restaurant they enjoyed a lovely only way for another coffee and a flow no i haven't seen one stone one last one nothing in soy and it's the way it should be for them the train has been [ __ ] great over here to be honest for the past few weeks laying off james krause and all of his boys down in glory and uh i'm glad i came out you know what i mean it's been it's been great the past few weeks learning from new buddies and getting a feel from new new people in the gym and it's been great yeah obviously here you have one of the best nutritionists in the business and this would be your first time making the lightweight uh look at that he's in serious nick the boys are incredible obviously the way it looks how has been the you know of those obvious calorie deficit getting down to 155 i'm i'm not even in a calorie deficit right now to be honest i want to see the food i mean mad it's almost like i was eating too much to be doing away classes you know what i mean i was just like over indulging maybe or something now i'm eating a nice amount been still eating a lot of full every day and energy and carbs every meal and i feel [ __ ] great and the weight is just flowing off and yeah obviously the tristan kennedy's been talking helping me so much over the past few years now and but yeah and i'm looking forward to actually being officially a lightweight foyer next week instead of blaming all these catchweights but i can't wait to just actually hear that now lightweight you know what i mean so yeah instead of finding that key for weight loss and uh keeper uh obviously this is one of the biggest beltwork cards of the year you know this mckee people for uh has been on the radar for bellator fans for a very long time and obviously you have to get the big names on the big cards and you're obviously fighting in the forum inglewood no good california it's it's a big venue and my most famous memory of you was ufc 199 when bisbee knocked out luke rockhold in the forum uh are we going to see a bit of a left hook larry from yourself this weekend well next year you're going to see a lot from me mate yeah not only bisping like muhammad ali fought in the forum my poison for on the forum there's a lot of legendary fighters that fought in the forum marina this is an iconic arena and it's over guard you know what i mean obviously a lot of great players have been in here and i just can't wait to get in and feel that energy in the [ __ ] dressing room and the obviously you've seen the forum it's huge eighteen thousand city are arena and they're opening it to the full capacity it's gonna be bleeding mud so oem i actually just can't wait to actually feel the energy from my crowd again and it's going to be [ __ ] something else in me and i am it's going to be great i just can't wait to get in and do the business carry that flag proudly again and marching into that cage ready to flee and i mean i can't wait me can't wait i'm mostly buzzing right now like i just got a bit of a tingle there energy defense and then even the announcement better come back to dublin like i mean i'm so excited russ yeah oh no absolutely and uh obviously uh it looks like james and patrick mix are gonna be the main event there obviously keefer would be great if you were in there for the for the co-main event uh sloth dublin's finest uh oh yeah i i know you uh carry that dublin flag with you as well which uh i love to see makes us very very proud to represent oh i feel like this i know you fought in oklahoma but i feel like this is your real american debut this time out do you feel that oklahoma man that was i don't you can say america but that was like a blade a country in itself that was a mad spot up that was like for me and i played in trailer park in the middle you know what i mean hillbilly town and that wasn't my place it was on my place but this is i'm going to california now in the forum 18 thousands here big heart big arena it's going to be unbelievable it's as i said in one of the interviews earlier it's like what dreams i'm made of i always envision fighting in america and big crowds and arenas and getting paid to do it and you know i mean such a great spot at the minute and i'm just so [ __ ] grateful that i've worked so hard to get to this point and i mean i'm a i've put so much work in over the years and particularly in the past year i have to write a few runs obviously from the last out in my heart and uh go out there and prove it all to myself this is a very this is this is very much about me and proving to myself how good i am and shown showing a different level of martial arts in there and i mean in a big arena on show time i mean this this is unbelievable for someone like me from dublin to come out here and do this and i mean i'm just [ __ ] i'm so happy and so grateful that i'm in this sport and in this position to do it and i just can't wait to bleed to step in there and fight man and just put good martial arts on display and represent once again you know me and so and when it comes to phone number keeper who's in your corner this time around john kavanagh and james balor lovely uh a bit of a dream team for you uh two guys who know you're originally very very well and another thing you want to ask about is your opponent georgie kakarian he has nearly 50 pro fights and what do you make of him as an opponent and obviously i think one thing you'll definitely have the advantage of it is probably the size you follow up at 170 you've had a 145 before what'd you make of them yeah well if it was a dick measuring competition i'd be excited but it's he has yeah he has experience but more experience just means more damage took you know that can be his little safety blanket if he wants to keep saying that i've experienced his experience is going to do it he hasn't experienced absolutely has an experience so we can say ah my experience and all this pollock's all he wants he hasn't experienced me and that's that's it fighting doesn't work like that it doesn't work like oh i have four times more fights than you do so i'm gonna win that doesn't work like that does not work like that and if it did all the the guys the most voyage would always win it doesn't work like that so in my opinion he's just took more damage to me he's been knocked out more i've never been up there i've never been even i've been touched but i've never even been rocked enough in the gym never so my brain is fresh so you're gonna see a fresh young hungry dog fighting a man that's been around the block he's at that stage now and it's it's my time to [ __ ] come up and showing them i'm just fresh ready to go well prepared no injuries weight low feeling great man i came off the kansas as well to really just be selfish about this and focus on training and sleeping and recovering and you know at home and you have kids and the babies up up late at six o'clock in the morning and you have to get up on your toe and over here there's none of that it's lit she just jam hunting up back to the gym home twins studying tape right and stuff down from the session i've done that day and and that's it i've been living this life now for the past few weeks and it's i just feel so refreshed and ready to go you know what i mean i can't wait to get in there and just just do the job yeah obviously keeper we had you on nine months ago it's it's actually crazy how tom floyd's and then like what did you learn from that last fight as well because obviously it was a stoppage with the oil it like how how did that go for you and then like what did you actually learn after that i learned more from that fight than all my other footage combined to be honest and uh you know i also know this this game this sport is completely over your control no one knows what the [ __ ] gonna happen people keep asking me what my game plan is and all this i don't have a game plan i never have and i never will but i'm just going out there to fight and and react and practice self defense under the bright lights and dale my king and uh that that fight in my opinion should have been ruled in our contest or there wasn't even blood pumping on my head i didn't even know it was put it was ridiculous i mean look at that back i stood up off the still force i was looking at my opponent i was fresher than he was i was ready to go and then this little inexperienced doctor decided to stop it and i was [ __ ] ridiculous i've seen enough fights in my time that were way worse than that with cuts and they were allowed to continue i don't understand how moira one had to be stopped so and then the fact that they called a tko win for him is it's just something that just doesn't sit well with me at all and uh it's a funny i said this and again all our interviews it's a free what you expect is gonna happen we're in here trying to hurt each other trying to cut each other trying to break bones and so be it i gotta call so i wasn't ill i was ready to fight let me flee you know if if i get a black oy are they gonna stop the next time if i get a bruised lip but they're going like this is a free that was free it's a cool get over it but he didn't want to stop so that's my mindset on that and i think it's ridiculous it hasn't set well with me at all the past nine months but in fairness i've learned a lot from it i really have um and you know the main thing i learned from him was my iq was off maybe that night and i fought wrong i fought too emotional i was in a bad frame of mind i wasn't nervous that was wasn't hurting that am i learning from i'm normally very nervous going out the fights foyer don't put their floors now that way i wasn't um me not being nervous i was doing things maybe more amateurish thrown over hands at the wrong time swinging trying to knock them out real quick very stupid you know mentality maybe and uh that won't be happening again you know what i mean i've learned from it and next saturday night you'll see a different version of me in there and i'm excited to put on display what can you explain to people listen and ourselves obviously like after that like how long do you sort of take away from like do you sit there first like for a week did you let it all set in and then you're like right i need to change stuff because obviously you've changed a lot of things now you're over in kansas now they go like how long do you sort of dwell on that and then you're like right you dust yourself off and you're like right this is the new new plan yeah like immediately you know i went back to my [ __ ] hotel room that night and every foot i have a couple of notepads and right after the fights even after training i write down everything that i've done and right after the footage well it's freshman montana feeling what happened what i didn't do what i did do walking it all that i wrote it all down so i don't forget it you know and as time goes on i'm even looking back on me notes and compared to now the difference in me mindset and the difference of how i felt before or for you gone into the footy or maybe not over cocky but just didn't respect the opponent that's motion all that stuff has to come to account and obviously the mistakes i made in there how i felt in the moment you know all that stuff i wrote all down and then i learned a lot from it you know what i mean i think going into this for you i'm just like a different person or something is a long time ago you learn so much every day i've learned so much in the past knowing months as well and i've improved as a martial artist and as an athlete and um in every way in the morning than in body and and i just think next week you'll see a different version of me again you know what i mean so thank you for or do you agree i i actually recently looked up the actual letter of the law for a tko versus no contest and if you actually follow the letter of the law uh you're the mcgregor fight your royal hall versus chris boyden anderson silva versus chris boyden should all have been declared no contest right um uh you really see you're actually supposed to only the claire winner if you can go to the judge's scorecards if not for the fight is actually taking place and you're supposed to actually do uh judges decision and obviously at that stage you're a fight you're in the first round and it shouldn't happen so like as far as all you've seen it like you might have you know two losses on your record but no one's ever beaten kiefer crosby in a fight never i've never been beaten in a professional fight that would have lost i knocked a blow clean out i hit him about 50 elbows and he didn't land a glove on my head and he was asleep on the canvas and i looked phenomenal and they declared him the winner that was a hoedown for keith crosby [Laughter] yeah yeah i was gonna say it i was gonna oh yeah they call him a winner you know the foreign winner you know you're face down on the campus of sleep and you're saying you're a winner i was on my feet in that last week ready to go speaking to my opponent i was not a loser that night that is ridiculous carry on so they're gonna have to sort that i mean this is it's ridiculous to be honest and um maybe that's a rematch that has to happen in dublin how about that in november i mean i like charlie charlie's a good lad yeah charlie is a good lad yeah good ladder [ __ ] have a lot of respect for me he's tough as [ __ ] and i like that as well i like the toughness already when you hit when he went down man he was so cold got back up far on he's a beast and uh i respect him and he's um he's a gent as well you know what i mean you have to respect that something about this sport that when you come across a gentleman who's just told us that you have to respect it you know what i mean he's a gentleman that's a good rematch i think that would be good in dublin he hasn't fought since either so i don't know what's going on with him maybe he's looking for a fight maybe he's looking to get active so after i put this ladder next week me and me and charlie should do a rematch in dublin and let me write that wrong that'd be nice we're the full crowd how about that and there's a fight a lot of people want to see it's a fight that a lot of people will be very [ __ ] excited about to be honest it could have been round of the year around the email was only getting gone wait imagine my rounds here would have been luke i only get going i'm gonna give me a few slaps trust me man you won't get me over there i'm a dog mate i'm in there to the death people say [ __ ] like that all the time joe i've seen georgie saying on interview i'm here till the i fight till the day when you apolo property and he's all known everyone sees and i will not stop playing until i'm not there anymore that's my mentality but [ __ ] that all off with all the techniques that i'm good at and i can do the whole martial arts thing too if i have to if it comes down to it and i have to break down and fight for the death i will i [ __ ] will and uh next week i will do it and again in november that's again a rematch that he's just intriguing for a lot of people maybe that the fans have saw it on that one but i think charlie had agreed to be honest he shook my hand in the cage and said we'll do it again he wasn't happy without me and i wasn't happy with that bleeding loss so maybe maybe let's do that again one thing i want to say to you keeper is that what you make of bellator now having lightweight rankings and now you're obviously in the same division as peter cready he seems like he's moving away from the toilet shot if not a toilet shot next uh could that ever become an issue where you become no more contender and he's the champion now it's not pissed me off where all these rajiv yeah they don't know what loyalty means they don't understand what team means all these dollars here is great and it's about them or your whole pizza gets the bill or you want peter to get the belt there [ __ ] the belt or you don't give a [ __ ] about a belt or an animal man only going down in history as one of the best fighters of all time that's my goal and if a belt wants to comb my way and i get the 40 for a delta or whatever happens kill but right now in 20 30 years to come and everyone's talking about fighting they're gonna be like that keep across you that was one of the best words of all time that's me mentality i'm not chasing nothing but that and the peers that are coming up moving get the tip first i think you should go to people well see what happens on saturday night obviously on when he's flying i'm on aj but maybe uh i think i should play for the bill next or whatever someone care about bill to be honest always tell more about it to me contract stop the the next two opponents and then move on and just keep trying to be the best in the world i was going to actually ask you where do you see yourself in the rankings well i already have a great sustain for the bellator rankings already because uh peter greeley just beat uh tricky pitbull and tricky pitbulls ranked number one and peter really is ranked number four so uh i don't like it like i just i'm just like what are you doing boy that yeah i would love peter creed you got a toilet shot rankings is basically another man's opinion that's all it is none of us have control over it they make no sense it's all bollocks oh number two number one number nine i'm not your number nothing just for you and do your best and who cares at the end of the day people are going people are tuning in to seeing me next week anyways you know i'm coming off them and more people put them on my fight and then you're afraid the playing card so what does the rankings mean they mean nothing so what i mean it's just it is what it is i don't know i'm just here to fight and do well and be remembered as one of the greats and have great fights and get people excited about every time i fight it's going to be a goal for you you know they're going to watch me next week and be buzzing about it so that's my ego you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah there's also another photo at that the whole of ireland's making sure to tune in to watch as well as brian moore competing on the card as well uh we're planning on getting we're planning on getting brought on next week as well so that's uh we're not gonna get too much into the detail about brian but obviously obviously you're over there at the moment with james as well another irishman and like how have you seen the development of james in his training since he's moved over to kansas yeah big time and focus i'm training him the past weekend two weeks unbelievable progression james always been [ __ ] unbelievable and he's always he's again a martial artist that's always learning and progressing and you're liking yourself he's asking questions he's putting the real work in behind the scenes it's not all bollocks on you know what you see on social media he's just talking he doesn't just talk to talk he walks the walk or you see the hours he puts in i see the rounds he puts him i see the drills he does i see the questions he asks he's a real one i mean and uh i've only trained him up the other day we did a bit of sparring and we did a bit of jiu-jitsu afterwards and he's [ __ ] unbelievable the kids always been like that he's always been one of those floats that shock you when you're trying them generally man like he's a banter my problem on my way and it's like i always teach [ __ ] man how is he that good jeremy is just he's just one of those people that stand there he's a standout that's what he is sometimes in this sport you meet people along the way that are stand outs and he's definitely a stand there on my opinion i mean he's just i think even in his voice when you see when you see his opponents getting choked they almost nearly always come backstage and be like i actually can't believe how [ __ ] good you were you know i mean i've seen him i've seen his opponents literally come up to him and say that and i see him in the gyms and even myself i'm like he's [ __ ] just he's that good and he's only getting better he's only still young so yeah absolutely how many times now has he been scheduled to be the main event in a bellator event it must be like four or five now and he's still what twenty three twenty three twenty four it's absolutely mental carry on shout out james as well uh we're gonna try we're gonna have to get james on before that event as well but like like keeper what's next week what's next week looking for you looking like for you now in the one and the build up to the fight nothing mate the walk's thrown i'm just chilling i'm on me bleeding holidays here looks it's literally twerking 32 degrees i'm just chilling i did a good mma session this morning and i'm just chilling now i'm going to do a bit of training later on go back some notes chill out put the feet open just recover [ __ ] might get a massage more you know me and just have just chill live the life i'm just learning next week is all about getting the body relaxed in the morning right and just enjoy the whole week and just flow around california and enjoy the place you know what i mean i met again practice gratitude my waking up every single day full of it full of bleeding gratitude full of just realizing where i am and i'm in california chilling out about the foot in a big arena still martial arts i've been doing this since i'm 10 years old putting a basketball halls on wooden floors for trophies i've always thought someday i'm gonna be doing this on a big stage and the way i'm doing on the big stage i don't forget this i don't forget those feelings when i was a kid and trying to win a little trophy in a basketball hall you know paying me way into tournaments now i'm getting paid a lot to fight in an arena and it's just a dream come to reality and i'm so grateful i'm going to grab it with both hands and represent me country and me people and this beautiful sport and just [ __ ] embrace it all to be honest i mean build you couldn't have it any more beautiful than that every time you speak this kind of you realize a man of the people and a bullet proof mindset you know i mean obviously we've made each other loads of times we've had you on numerous times it's uh it's great to see uh kevin like just gonna be my last question as well what what is the main thing you've learned of um james krause being over in kansas man you know he's a great coach he really is and i mean i feel like i know me whole life from the first day of training on my training we trained in vegas when i went to conor sword we trained that that week we met up and we did like four or fives of like jiu-jitsu and wrestling and stuff and then we don't have to walk afterwards and it's almost like we [ __ ] knew each other for years and i mean we just clicked and he's just he's a great martial artist obviously has a wealth of knowledge and experience behind them he's had like 25 votes maybe 10 or more in the ufc and in this sport you can tell real quick who's full of [ __ ] and who's not full of [ __ ] and when you're trying or something he's not full of [ __ ] he's he knows his [ __ ] he knows the [ __ ] inside there he's got some great information he's giving me great rounds and uh even in this gym like i mean it's it's a good team field where everyone's just sound everyone's real humble with their killers the high level killers and their good wrestlers grapplers and it's just been great the past few weeks get out of comfort zone as well coming into like a different gym you don't know anybody sometimes can be a bogey thing to do especially this close to a free what i've learned is actually good because oh you don't know what they're going to do and they don't know what i'm going to do and that's exactly what a foie next week it's me and him going in there and neither of us know what's going to happen but we're trying to figure it out in the moment so me again the train with people i don't really know against their strengths and weaknesses has been good it's been refreshing because normally emoji you know i know me teammates they know what i'm good at when i'm fat out when i'm business you know it can get very repetitive which is now i'm trying to have to be on the ball every day i'm going against people i don't even know don't even know what weight class they are a lot bigger than me you could be a jiu-jitsu yeah yeah he's in the gym as well yeah yeah great great four years in the gym and uh you know james been a great uh great lad the past few weeks and i've learned a lot from i'm very grateful there for everything he's done for me here yeah shadow james as well you see he's from watching from the outside he's doing amazing things and then that's why it was great to hear you joining james over there jordan james with james over there russ and now wrapping up you know what normally i actually ask for is for a prediction how they're going to go to be honest i'm not interested in prediction i actually just want to see you do your beautiful work that you do that's the way i want to see it that's the way i want to leave it i'm looking forward to seeing this new new version the key for crosby and seeing what he can do in the lightweight division uh he's put the whole division on blast right now kieva is there anything you want to give a shout out to or anyone you want to say hello to uh obviously maybe the boyfriend kids back home big time yeah like my girlfriend a rock of a woman i mean it's hard leaving the kids in my entire leaving them at home and running over here and doing this and training and being away and getting into this frame of mourning then you know you don't bring your family to a war do you know what i mean i'm a soldier me and you know soldiers go abroad and leave their families at home for months and years on end of three wars and i'm a [ __ ] soldier and you don't bring your family to a war you keep them at home you keep them safe and you fight the wars for them for their future and that's what i'm over here i'm in military mode now i have the blinkers on i've just been living it you know i mean i'm living like i believe where you are i'm just i'm just doing this for them and you know i'm just staying focused and i had to do what i had to do sacrifices must be made if you want to be the best in the world or something and this is just one of those things i had to do but i share with everybody that's behind me and with me i've always i've heard this before since day one i've
