Fansview MMA interviews Irish amateur Nathan Chambers (“Taco”) during fight week before his seventh amateur bout. He describes feeling physically and mentally ready while cutting weight, and explains his fight-week routine: training through Tuesday for a Sunday fight, then chipping away at weight and using video games like Minecraft and Call of Duty to switch off rather than overthinking the bout. The conversation centers on his move to SBG Naas under Peter Quy after leaving his previous gym in Drimnagh, and the extreme commute—about three hours each way by bus and train, sometimes not reaching home until around 2 a.m. He stays overnight with gym receptionist GRA or works full 12-hour days at the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays while also helping coach. Chambers credits SBG Naas’s tough, high-level training for sharpening his MMA after a BJJ background, including learning cage takedowns he successfully used against Michael Cartmill despite losing that short-notice bout. He downplays rigid game plans at amateur level because opponents change quickly, and outlines an packed late-2025 schedule: a fight the coming Sunday, Clan Wars 53 on 25 October, Ray on 22 November, and Cage Legacy Fighting Championship on 31 December—potentially six fights in 2025—with a planned drop to bantamweight for Ray and nutrition support from Yanick McGee.

So, I'd like to welcome back Mr. Nathan Chambers. People like to call him Taco, the Irish taco, extra spicy. Um, but h someone I would have talked to a lot kind of at the start. I remember watching them on Cage Legacy. What was it? The Orchard submission was Was it >> Dead Orchard? Yeah, it's like a two ar triangle. >> Um, and I was blown away. It was kind of my introduction to shows and and uh we had a little bit of a conversation at the show and and like that we we've caught up ever since. A lot's changed since uh we've last talked. We're going to go into it, but I want to thank you very much uh for coming on and giving me your time. You're fighting this week. How are you and how are you feeling fight week? >> Feeling good fight week. Um nicks and lags around the body, but that's always going to happen if if you don't have little little dimps around your body where you're training hard enough or you're in the right room. So, feeling good that way. Feeling good mentally as well preparation wise. And uh your head just on the weight cut now. So, you know, the low low calories, water loading, peeing every two minutes, you know the buzz. >> I I've been with people when they're doing it and I'm watching them and it's literally we went with Maga and he's just like, I need to go to Thailand and I said, "Cut the camera. Cut the camera. Cut the camera." But >> um what like what the Cuz this is will be your eighth fight as an amateur. No. Yeah. 52. >> Five and two. Yeah. This seven. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah. one as well. >> I'm obviously not good at quick maths, but >> like what what kind of way do you come into fight week now? Do you notice like obviously your first one is always going to be what it is bit nerve-wracking? You don't know what to expect. How have you found your progression with fight week and how do you manage it now? make up. >> Well, to be honest, how how I'm still I'm still new to fight week because I've switched from different gyms and different coaching and all that and just how different gyms do. Obviously, you've got your own way of doing it, but I'm always looking out for advice of how the pros would do it, how other experienced am experienced amateurs do it and maybe two or three coaches, different piece of advice from each one and just try make me own cocktail of how I do fight week myself. But it's going a lot better uh fight by fight. So I'm just like fight week starts after Tuesday, you know what I mean? So if I'm fighting Sunday, it's only five days. I'm not taking a full seven days fight week. So I was training the Monday training on the Tuesday and just count it down there and now just chipping away at the weight. So it's it's nice. It's a nice time to get a little break, you know, hop in the PlayStation a little bit as well once your sweating's done. Bit of Minecraft, bit of COD zombies. So it's nice. You kind of become more human after that stage. Yeah, I can imagine. I know obviously the way cut isn't fantastic, but I like the fact that, like I said, you named out a couple of video games there because a lot of fighters talk about they find it hard to switch off, whereas obviously that's your kind of you is that your go-to to kind of just not not think about the fight, but that kind of distracts. It makes you you're able to switch off whereas a lot of people want to keep training, want to keep training, whereas that's your kind of goto cuz I myself love video games. think it's it's a great it's a great switch off because like >> you know if you have let's say Minecraft for example if you have a good world going there with your mates >> yeah 10 minutes becomes three hours like that and you're on the weight cut you know what I mean you can't have that much food and that's six hours before bed just goes like that so it's it's nice if I'm watching fights and all that you know you start to think of your own fight and all that and you know your your thoughts can get the better you sometimes as well so it's good just to avoid that until closer to the fight as well I think Because if you're fighting on Sunday, Sunday is going to be complete fighting. Fight mentally, physically before, during, after. Leave it all for Sunday. Enjoy the week while I can. >> So, I think it's a great way to switch off. >> Yeah, I like I like that attitude. And like you said, it is a great way to switch off. I remember me, I I haven't played them as much as I used to. I might turn them on. I don't really have the time, but I found him like that. Uh, Call of Duty was one I wouldn't been into like shooter games and I got into that. And I remember I'd get on at maybe I was off on a Monday and I'd get on at like 10 o'clock in the morning and all of a sudden it's seven or eight and I haven't really eaten much. I've eaten [ __ ] And it is good to just kind of turn off and especially like I said with the wake up cut to take your mind off >> wanting to eat and stuff like that. It probably you still get the hunger but that kind of occupies you but >> you're distracted. Yeah. You're like two more minutes. Two more minutes. >> One more game. One more game. One more round. One more round. New Town. New Town. That's was the one I loved. Um, but you you spoke there obviously you changed gyms. I've noticed I've been talking to you about it and I actually asked you how you get there. You're in SPG NA so you're obviously with Peter Sergey Keen would kind of be the main obviously Mihall as well who does the BJJ is a fantastic gym. Conor McCarthy, Jordan Scully, um Alex Qo, among Nikolai, there's uh Dowi I I don't know if that for a while, but I I presume he's probably coaching now at this stage, but >> he's got Wednesday's >> good lad. No, it's great. The team >> absolutely love up there. >> And you travel because you sent me because I say what do you do like have you moved down this way or what's going on? And then you sent me the vlog of you and I was like this boy's get coming from like how talk to us about the travel how much travel time it takes from your like kind of from A to B cuz I want to show people like the other side of MAS not just fighting the dedication you put in because a lot of people wouldn't do that commute to work and you're doing it to get beaten up in the gym >> beat get assaulted get legally assaulted >> especially if you're against Paul Fitzy as well that that guy's a mad man. Yeah, absolute psychos. And even if you're coming up for a Thursday cardio session, you pay with your soul as well, just leaving early 9:00 in the morning for that to be there for 12 is insane. Um, yeah. So, I'm lucky enough that I have a good relationship with a lot of the members in the gym. Um, just me own personality, I guess, as well, and get along with people. So the receptionist GRA, she's been an absolute blessing, letting me stay in her house whenever I need to if the travel's just too much, but there's a bit of stuff going on at home and all that. So I'm just like, well, I kind of want to be home to make sure everything's kind of going a float and I'm not left out of the loop. So I've been doing a bit more travel than I normally have. Um, but yeah, so I live in Draa and from Drada. So from Da live in Draa and I train in SBD NAC which is up there at Toger's Industrial State. for me to get there, I'll use public transport because it is the cheapest way to go and you know just be so bet up after training that wouldn't be worth driving home half the time. So um we start off by getting either the bus or the train depending on how the traffic is probably a train if not the bus and we'll go to Dublin airport and from Dublin airport we'll go to Nace H which will be on the 726 bus >> the bus I'm well aware this >> when it is going it's not broken down or late >> yeah or [ __ ] air conditioning man in the summer that was absolutely horrible that was just a microwave that's all that was so it takes whether So, I get the bus or the train, it takes 3 hours up and then it takes three and a half hours back. So, every day it's 6 and a half hours minimum. Some days I don't get back into the house until about 2 in the morning because you finish training at let's say uh 9:00 um maybe half 9, you know, you get showered and all that. You get a lift up to the closest train station, new bridge, hit that train, train's not there for another 38 minutes. There's a delay, bang, 50 minutes. Then you're in Houston. Now you have to get to Lewis from Houston to Connley. You're at Connley. The next train's on till 11:55. Doesn't show up till 20 12 >> and then you hit draw for about it's about an hour and 15 minute train there. So you're not draw about like quarter to 2 early and you're just like bo. You get home. You close your eyes. You wake up half eight in the morning. You have to be in the gym for 12 or 1:00 depending if it's Tuesday or Thursday. Straight back to it. Rinse and repeat. So I'll stay up in on a Tuesday or Thursday. I'll stay up in the gym the entire day because I'll help out with coaching as well. But um yeah, there days I'll be up from half 8 in the morning and I'll be leaving at quarter 9 at night. So a full 12 hour shift up there in the gym working out. >> Wow. Wow. People don't even do that for the job and they're getting paid and you're pay >> and you're paying to do this as well. I actually I know we're talking like I'm literally five minutes from that gym. Like literally five minutes. I met I met Jordan Skully. He text me one day. He's like, "I'm at Nubber's train station." Because I talked to him. He goes, "I'm at Nubber's train station. Remember when I had the sponsors, they gave me gloves and stuff." And I was like, "Man, these gloves have been sitting there for ages." I just grabbed the gloves, ran up. I said, "George, you want a pair of glo?" Was it gloves or shingards? >> I think it was gloves. I said, "There, take the gloves." And he's like, "For I'll post them." I said, "I didn't give them for you to post them. I gave them to you cuz you're a nice person and you're doing all this travel and they're sitting in they they were sitting in there for a year. Just take them and there's a present for you to to go home with. So if you're ever stuck in nbage, give me a shout. Yeah, >> if you're ever stuck in nbage like that, even if it's a case that to get you a lift to the trade to get one quicker than the the one you get public transport, that green bus is is a disaster. So you would get that from outside there from the industrial state then into kind of near the post office and then shoot on up uh station. So even if I was even around Nace, I could pick you up and just bring you even bring you to the the Salins train station which might have another one. They might have more. But >> anyways, we've stopped talking about our transport arrangements, but um >> how how have you found since you've joined like we've talked about the team there and there's a lot more so I apologize if I missed anyone. Um how have you found a team accepting you into the team because you seem like your personality you're very easy to get along with. How have you found being accepted in, welcomed in, and then your improvements? What have you noticed the most? >> Um, well, look, >> back. >> Guess who's back. >> So, um, first and foremost, huge thank you to Peter Quy for taking me in under his wing. So whenever [ __ ] kind of hit the fan in draw or whatever and you know had to make the definitive switch to be under SBG Nate I um it Peter didn't have to take me under as easy as he took me under. I guess you know just making the effort to show up the three and a half hours up three hours back and all that that's one thing but putting in your god's honest best work and trying to learn and take I think Peter sees that as well and he's like right that's someone who actually wants to you know do something with this now I'm definitely not the fastest learner I'm definitely not the most effective learner but you know I do I do truly appreciate everything taught in that gym and people welcome me in so to to make the switch to the gym I've already knew a few of the lads, you know, I was heading up Max Ali every Tuesday and Thursday around October, November time uh last year and that's when I was training in both gyms and then hit March. I think it was about two weeks before me uh title fight. That's when I went full-time up in Nace and said to Pet was like, "I'm going to be up here full-time now. Is there certain things I have to do uh for you as a coach to take the boxy boys?" And he was like, "You need to be into this class, this class, this class, this class. If you have energy, show up to these classes after, but these are the main classes." And you know, just I mean, I don't know how to word it really. H accepted. Not fairly easy. You know, I felt like I was getting assaulted and mean look by a few of the lads at start, but it's not. It was just like he's fresh meat in the gym. Use him as your toy, but you know, you keep fighting over and try your best. And I'm still getting assaulted up there, but in the best way possible. Um, but yeah, I find I like I like tough training. I like hard training and I think Peter's a great coach, very up to date with his uh styles of teaching as well and the techniques. So, I think it was just a good match for someone who loves learning. He's someone who loves teaching. It's match made in heaven for myself. So, it was to be able up there with such great lads. >> Yeah. No, that that's brilliant as well. I I I would have conversations with Pete. I wouldn't see him that much. But what I love about Peter is he fought and he lost on Bellator and he got he he I think it was his eye was his he had a really bad >> and he showed up to his fighters fights the next day. He could have easily said Sergey Keane someone Conor McCarthy can you take these guys up and do this? And he showed up but he showed up like that. He showed up with the hood up with glasses but he was there. And >> that's something you can't buy or you can't train. join the Sway. That's something that just comes and I can see why he likes you because everything you've said to me there, right? And I'm taking this in a different perspective. When I was a manager in retail, if someone came up to me, I said, "See this boy, I don't care if he's slow at learning or if he's quick at learning." If that's his attitude, he's going to learn and we're going to teach him and we're going to teach him the best. And like you're saying, oh, you might not be the quickest learner, but what I found out in my short space of time in MMA, it's not who's the best or who's the quickest, it's who's left. because how many people have left the scene even since you have come in and I have come in so >> like you sound like you're there for long like doing that that journey is is is crazy in itself like for me I like people watch this and go what so that just shows your level of dedication and and your willingness to learn and how up you are and I love the attitude but in terms of of progression you you improve and you prove each fight you might not always win each fight but do you notice those improvements happening as like as the training goes on or is it really when it gets tested in live competition that you see okay I'm much better now at such a such a technique or such a move or do you notice it kind of in training as well because it is kind of live competition but in a real back kind of a sense >> I I find it more just because like I haven't really been getting as much fights in that's why I've had to sign up for so many fights just before the end of the year was taking them all off now. Just give me myself a bit more battle tested, but definitely in training, I found the the the improvements now. It might be something that we've done three weeks ago and I'm starting to get it now. You know, little technique against the wall, working way better at that. Even me last fight um against Cartmill, the one I lost, I still got a nice takedown against the cage. I don't normally go for them types of takedowns. I've never been really good at them, but it's something that's just been drilled into us um up there in ACE as well. And I really struggle to get that in training because everyone there is so high level and you know, every time you do it, there's always a counter and it's always a scramble and a counter scramble. It's like I'm not am I doing it right? Am I not doing it right? But when it came to the competition and I did it, you know, we've done that compared to other gyms and that kind of tick the box of being improving there as well. It's just hard to see in the gym because there's always an answer for something else. You know what I mean? Feed them this question, you know, go and do this move. They've got a response right away. And that's you're training with them so often, I guess, your training partners. But when I did it in the fight, that was something that kind of let a light bulb up in my me head. I was like, "Ah, I've learned something new here." So, I have or it's working. Not that I had any doubt that it would work. It's just it was nice to get that smooth run of it, though. So yeah, I definitely think in training it just gives, you know, a couple sessions before the technique starts to work, but everyone's so aware of the technique, it's hard to pull off, but that's what makes the technique even more effective, you know, because we're just all getting better together. We're all learning defenses of everyone's favorite offensives and just bouncing between that, I guess. So >> yeah. No, I like that. I like what you said that there's counters and stuff and then like you said with the counters then because you said like the lads are going to know you're going to go for takedown they're countering then do you find that is kind of branching off into different small learnings as well as okay well if I go like this he can counter me like this what do I do next if this if the takedown fails so you find then if you don't get the successful technique that you want and they counter have you learned then okay how do I defend their counter or put more offense on their counter have you learners like that that you've kind of picked up from from the training sessions in this >> definitely like not going to name any moves out just in case like that that's for us um say we're doing a technique boom everyone's smashing everyone with it and then you know everyone's getting caught in this one position but then there's some lad in the gym have to finding a way how to how to stop this from happening and then Pier's like oh that's great so now Pier's already running off the running the little wheel in his head of like right what's the offense to this and then the defense for that and it just there was a day where we did like an experimental experimental technique in the gym and every two minutes I was actually with Paul Fitzgerald Paul Fitzy during that uh during that training session it was like oh we could do this and then I could do this and we could do this and I could do this and it was just an infinite loop of this can happen that can happen this can happen when that happens so yeah it's phenomenal up there it really is just the development techniques is insane >> yeah and I like that and it's always evolving and obviously you're from a a BJJ background and if you look through the years, I don't know this person, he was told to me that at one stage there'd be like leg leg submissions was a big thing. I think Eddie Bravo or someone and uh and then but then it was like, okay, we found out how to counter this and then it just moved on to different sections. Have you seen your MMA game evolve kind of like that? Um that okay, I'll go for this and and it'll you'll go for different areas kind of. >> Yeah. Um I mean I've uh trying to stay off me back as much as I can as a grappler going to MMA it was a bit difficult but with the level of competition I was going with against start it was quite easy to play off your back as well but up there in na is probably the worst possible decision you could ever think of doing is playing off your back even if you got a good guard a dangerous guard a crafty guard does not matter it's just not worth it. So, you know, things that worked for me not working anymore against the high level competition in the gym is forcing me just to get better in areas that I wasn't too confident in, maybe not too good in, but now it's all just, you know, it's just sharpened up bit by bit. So, it is. >> Yeah. Know. Yeah. Yeah. And I like that cuz like that especially I find it like when people come from I know obviously you saw me fight but you obviously fought novice as well and there's no grounding pound and I find a novice I don't know you you fought novice. It was probably in the face. >> Yeah. >> Was there? >> Yeah. >> Oh cage legacy. That explains >> I'm only joking. I'm only joking. Cage legacy is back New Year's Eve. It's a It's a I don't know if it is back New Year's Eve apparently. >> December 31st in the South. >> Yeah. So, it would be a good show on New Year's Eve. The only thing is I'm thinking of the fighters. Who's going to want to diet during Christmas Day? >> I've already signed up for it. >> I just see there's a couple of people I'm looking at that I go, I know he'll be there. I know they'll be there. You were one of them. And it's just like it's a shame that it's been gone, but it's so hard to run the shows here. And it's not much of a like cuz I like people I I won't say who and it's not just their shows like people sometimes have lost money and like that's not easy to do and you're not doing it we're not doing when we not but people aren't doing it to make huge amount of money they want to give the platform but you can only plow so much of your own money into it before you go >> right where where do we go here but yeah no so cage legacy okay so you can't ask that question because you had ground pound on the bottom because at novice that's we'll skip past that we'll forget that happened. Um, but yeah, so you've got the fight coming up this uh Sunday, Sunday. >> So like when it comes to game planning now, is there any difference that you do? Cuz I remember before you said you just like to work on yourself, you you look at them, but sometimes you'd find you get into it. Do you find that you've eased off now or or what way do you research the opponents or do you leave that to your coaches? Um especially we look at the last fight like the last fight was meant to fight um before Michael Cartill who was meant to fight um some other fellow from his gym can't remember his name >> no >> nock anyway >> sorry >> Thomas McVey >> Thomas McVy it was Thomas McVey so definitely more of a striker so we kind of had like a little plan of doing this doing that and um Just like that, he got concussion training and then we're like, "Right, new opponent, same gym. He's ready. Yeah, go on. Let's take him." And Michael Cartel, you know, great experience. Let's go for that. Took him on grappler. I was like, "Shit." Which didn't go my way. But when I was planning to fight a striker, it switched into a grappler. Now, that makes no difference because he also took that fight in two weeks. So, I took that fight in two weeks and it was pen wasn't pay. We signed. We agreed to go ahead. So, um, just that's why game plans don't really work out that well, I guess, until it's confirmed if that's the opponent. Like, we never know. But, what my opponent could pull out on Sunday and have a new opponent, I already accepted, you know, straight into it again. So, what's the point of the game plan of one opponent? Obviously have a a quick clip or two and see what their main main move is if if even. And you know just be aware of that I guess because everyone's got like a common trait to do like you know myself then the fellow on fight and he's got his own little common trait that uh we've got an idea of so we kind of got the precautions in place for that and how we're going to respond to that but other than that just my own game running try to take my my uh world as quick as possible and finish the fight. So game plans win that way. >> Yeah. No, and I like that >> it it can change so quickly. I've seen two fights, two shows I've been to where on the day the opponent has fell out and Nate McGillian >> was it James Lavin stepped in against Nathan McGillian the day of and then Nathan lost that and then he stepped in against Jocker on the day of Nathan and then he won that. So he was on both sides of it. Uh so it's like that and and I think especially at your like amateur focus on you and especially cuz it's a new gym. I know you've had fight under the gym but you want to establish your own style. Peter wants to see what you want what he wants you to do and and how you establish this. And if you worry about them like I said fighters can change you know yourself how much you can improve from fight to fight. Yeah. I could watch your last fight and you could be completely different. You could come out kicking start that sort of way. >> Yeah. >> It could be completely different. So I don't think there's too much when it goes to pro that's a different story because it means more the chances of getting pulled outs are less and that's not saying about amateur. Well people can get into that pro as well. I think it's just it might be a bit more precaut especially if it's a a bigger show that they won't want to >> five minute rounds. There's only so much you can plan in three minutes. >> Yeah. >> There is only so much you can plan in three minutes. >> Yeah. And like I said it it could completely change. But um you said you're signed up for Cage Legacy. I obviously know cuz uh you're signed up for another show obviously that I'm a part of. Is is that kind of it for you for the year then? Is it? But that's a lot. That's three before the end of the year. >> So I've got I war this Sunday. October 25th clan wars. Um rate is in November, isn't it? >> Yeah. 22nd. >> So that's September. October. November. December is Cage Legacy 31st. >> So that's four fights. I've had two fights this year as well. So that's >> six fights. >> That'd be six fights in a year. >> Wow. >> So I'll be happy with that if if we can get done. Look, some shows maybe injuries, opponent pulls out, maybe some shows won't go ahead, you know, just sign up. It's there. If it's there, if it's not, at least I'm put me name in for the mall and trying to get up there as quick as I can. You know what I mean? Not speed running or anything. I'm not trying to run myself to the ground. It's like I'm training for what I'm traveling three and a half hours up three hours back for what to train to become a fighter. Let's do the fighting now. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> And if me coach Peter I that's what I said for the Ray one that that wrath that was coming up. He says put me name down for that. He goes already did. I was like perfect. He knows himself that right let's go for that as well. And the plan is to go to bantamweight for that fight as well. So you know explore a new weight class see how we do with that. Hopefully we get working with Yanick McGee for the nutritionist, not to drop the weight and yeah, just it'd be be interesting to see how this brings us into early 2026 and wherever that goes from there, I guess. >> Yeah, that that that's a very hectic calendar at the end, but like you said, things can happen. I heard you've got a very tasty rat match up. I don't know who made the match, but that will be released soon enough. Um, but yeah, like that with the amount, how do you feel to have that amount of shows? like you said a couple of years ago kind of when you kind of started there's only kind of cage legacy and aor kind of just started as well and now there's there's so many shows like Rat is a new show you've got Gladiator you've got you've got Cage Legacy you've got everything's kind of coming back to I want to say there's about 10 shows how does it feel for you to have that many options because like I said there is cases of of people pulling out people getting injured even yourself getting injured that you can bounce onto another show if you miss a show how does that feel for you to have the options that we have right now >> oh I I think it's great and obviously you're also trying to look for your coach's availability and not that that's really an issue at all but you know fighting every now and then is all well and good only if you're learning in between fights I think as well I learned a lot in between me last fight and this fight coming up so I think it's a great time to test it as well but you know if if you are just taking the fights and losing every single one of them you probably need to stop um knuckle down and gym and working yourself. But that's not really been a a case for me. You know, just lost the last one there, but then that went on a nice little streak. So, it's I think it's it's nice just to have the calendar filled up and I know, okay, right after we done this fight, won't [ __ ] fuel up like a fat bastard and just be like bloated to the tits, you know? I'll be ready straight away back training and, you know, just already mentally focused in the next fight. And it'll be a nice way just to finish off the year, you know, as as you said, that' be six fights in a year to be, okay, boom, six fights in a year. That's grand, that's active. Because when you go professional, you know, you might get one fight, you might get two fights, then you might sign to a promotion and you might only get one fight that year. So, you're losing out on a bit of activity there. So, try taking it all while I can now because I'm seeing that with some of the lads in the gym who can't get fights. I'm like, sh I may as well put me name in for them now and get the fights while I can. I don't want to be in that position in case I am and the inactivity catches up on you. >> Yeah. Cuz like that you've been in gyms like you know yourself there's people that people won't fight and stuff like that and I can get that if there's different experience levels but like that you're in there you've got four shows if you compete on those four shows. Yeah. If if if it all happens right >> cuz you're you're not going to have a Christmas uh you're not going to have the Christmas is expected right. So if you actually do get to compete, do what? If you get to compete on two plus K's legacy, I'm gonna buy you what? What's tacos? Did you like tacos? Obviously >> tacos. You like bougium? >> No, I like I'm more of a street food type of guy. Street tacos and >> street. Do they have vouchers? Because I will buy you if you if you I'll get you a voucher for that. So you can go and eat on New Year's Day and you can eat as much as you want. I'll get you that heart. So, >> it sounds like a deal. >> Sounds like a deal. Right there you go through the camera. >> Dave Farrell, let's go. >> There you go. So, and it's on camera now. I can't go back on it. >> You better post this now. >> So, sorry Nathan didn't show for the interview today. Um, no. Like that if even if you just fight on that one, I nearly get you one because going through that that during Christmas is going to be tough, but it just shows like we've talked about your dedication and your willingness to fight and willingness to learn and willingness to improve and um I really like this conversation. I am going to let you go though. It's been an absolute pleasure. Is there anything you want to say before you go? Thank you for your time against >> uh thank you for your time and shout out to SPG Nace, me coaches, all me training partners and all the shows coming up taking me on and trying to match me and get these fights going. Um too many sponsors to name them all out. Um but you know, you'll see them on the fight shirt when I'm walking out. So keep your eyes peeled and uh yeah, thank you. That that's pretty much it. >> Perfect. You're an absolute legend. I can't wait. I'm actually going to be at the show h this weekend. So, I can't wait to see you in person again. It's been a while. We haven't talked for a while >> with all the fights you have coming up. >> We probably talk for the next one. We might talk just before the rat or just after the rat one if you're interested. >> And uh yeah, >> I I look forward to getting this voucher for you.
