After reaching the promotion, McVey began his UFC career with two consecutive submission losses.

Rather than abandoning the style that brought him there, he changed environments, moved his training to The MMA Lab in Phoenix and worked heavily on the mental side of competing at the highest level.

Then came the breakthrough.

McVey hurt Sedriques Dumas on the feet, immediately recognized that a choke offered the quicker finish and locked up a first-round Brabo choke for his first UFC victory.

For a fighter who prides himself on being dangerous everywhere, it was exactly the type of performance he needed.

0:57

57 seconds

Agradeço todas as pessoas que acreditaram em mim, principalmente o meu mestre quando eu queria parar.

1:05

1 minute, 5 seconds

Eh, eu me dei, [limpando a garganta] não me dei muito de muito bem com o luto do meu pai, mas eu consegui vir, perseverei, graças a Deus, minha esposa,

1:13

1 minute, 13 seconds

minha família, Campos de Júlio, Nova Olímpia, toda a galera de Curitiba e eu pude chegar aqui hoje.

1:19

1 minute, 19 seconds

First of all good evening UFC a pleasure to see you here. A pleasure to be here.

1:24

1 minute, 24 seconds

I wish that my father could be here to see me. Um he was there all along and I thank you the team. I thank everyone here especially my master for actually

1:33

1 minute, 33 seconds

keeping me real and telling me to not quit buuse I wanted to stop so many times I didn’t take the morning of my father uh too well but I was able to

1:41

1 minute, 41 seconds

persevere and be here so everyone from Giba everybody here very happy to be here and then get this win Jose your dad would be very proud of you let’s take a

1:50

1 minute, 50 seconds

look at your work up here were you surprised that he was willing to grapple with you in the way he actually initiated the wrestling and then you

1:59

1 minute, 59 seconds

were adjusting your lock Você ficou surpreso que queria levar esse negócio pro chão, que ele já começou com

2:07

2 minutes, 7 seconds

o wrestling de cara e e você ficou surpreso também no final que você basicamente você tava ajustando a pegada e ele bateu. Você ficou surpreso com a batida?

2:15

2 minutes, 15 seconds

Eu fiquei surpreso dele querer usar grapp. Como eu já havia dito, eu também sou karateca de início e eu tava

2:22

2 minutes, 22 seconds

preparado para fazer um bom strike para as pessoas verem que eu não sei, eu não tenho só o grapple, mas se a luta fosse pro chão, eu tenho um bom grapple e um

2:30

2 minutes, 30 seconds

bom gilito, estilo de ribeiro, para mostrar, porque o nosso gilitos machuca, não é nada suave.

2:54

2 minutes, 54 seconds

Senhoras e senhores, salva de palmas. Oh.

, ,Oi gente, Rodrigues aqui no Meta Apex em Las Vegas ao lado do José Montanha.

0:06

6 seconds

Gente, é uma montanha esse menino. Vai fazer estreia no FC nesse sábado. FC Vegas 120 brasileiros em ação. Tudo bem?

0:11

11 seconds

Tudo bem? Tudo bem pessoal? Tô bem graças a Deus. E vocês como estão? Tudo bem. Bem-vindo ao FC. Tá nervoso?

0:18

18 seconds

Não, tô tranquilo. É, é a parte divertida agora. Tô bem tranquilo enquanto a isso. Igual eu tinha falado com meus amigos, a minha fé é muito

0:26

26 seconds

convicta nessas situações, assim. Queria que você começasse contando um pouco da sua história pra gente te apresentar aí pra galera. Você cortava eucalipto? É isso? Carregava eucalipto?

0:35

35 seconds

É, lá a gente carregava lenha, né? Tipo, a gente veio da roça, eu venho da da região de interior, do sítio. Então, era

0:43

43 seconds

hábito a gente trabalhar para conseguir alguma coisa de grana e carregar caminões de lenha, né? Que era um serviço muito pesado ou coletar raiz

0:50

50 seconds

também. E lá onde começou essa vontade de de lutar, de competir, fui competindo

0:57

57 seconds

capoeira, karatê, né, aprendendo do jeito que dava para aprender as coisas lá com os professores que eu fui conhecendo. Eh, inclusive tinha tinha

1:07

1 minute, 7 seconds

vezes que eu colocava em redação da escola lá, que eu um dia estaria entre os melhores do mundo no UFC, as pessoas tiravam onda comigo. Caramba, você tá ficando maluco, tá aqui no meio do mato,

1:15

1 minute, 15 seconds

você vai para Las Vegas para E eu sempre tive convicção de que eu ia chegar esse dia, né? Inclusive me apeguei muito a

1:22

1 minute, 22 seconds

Deus nessa questão de de realizar propósitos, né? Como as pessoas não sabem, eu sou evangélico da igreja

1:28

1 minute, 28 seconds

Assembleia de Deus e segui firme acreditando, me mudei, fui mudando de cidades até eu chegar na capital e

1:37

1 minute, 37 seconds

depois iniciar lá em Campo de Júlio a minha minha a minha jornada no MMA.

1:44

1 minute, 44 seconds

E daí em diante foi a Deus, eu fui abrindo portas, eu fui conhecendo pessoas que conheciam outras pessoas que tinham contatos e eu fui conseguindo

1:51

1 minute, 51 seconds

competir Gilgit MMA até receber o convite para vir para Curitiba, né? E de lá eu conheci o mestre Gilho Ribeiro e com o mestre Gilo

1:59

1 minute, 59 seconds

Ribeiro eu desbloqueei meu meu meu potencial em 100%.

2:04

2 minutes, 4 seconds

Qual era sua cidade? Eu sou natural de Nova Olímpia, mas como é muito é um interior, né, tem muito pouco recurso nessas questão de de atleta, de esporte,

2:12

2 minutes, 12 seconds

me mudei para Campos de Júlio, que é a cidade que eu represento hoje, que é a cidade que me patrocinou. E lá eu comecei a competir com Censei Edevaldo ainda na época do karatê, que foi ele

2:21

2 minutes, 21 seconds

que me apresentou o professor Júlio de Cuiabá, né, do wrestling e Jilgits onde eu aprendi de fato o Jilgits e e a luta

2:28

2 minutes, 28 seconds

livre tradicional. E através deles eu consegui conheci outras pessoas, o professor Cleiton lá de Tangará da Serra, que através do professor Cleiton

2:35

2 minutes, 35 seconds

eu conheci Curitiba e recebi o convite para vir treinar em Curitiba.

2:39

2 minutes, 39 seconds

Mas quando você chegou em Curitiba também não foi tudo muito fácil não, né?

2:42

2 minutes, 42 seconds

Não, não. Eu pensei em voltar para trás algumas vezes porque as pessoas veiam os atletas na hora do show, né? Mas nos bastidores

2:51

2 minutes, 51 seconds

e é mais difícil porque quase todos os atletas trabalham de segurança, eh, ou dependem de alguém, né? E ou como vin

2:59

2 minutes, 59 seconds

vinho da roça, eu não não tenho esse hábito de pedir ajuda para ninguém, nem de de ficar esperando as coisas acontecerem, né? No livro de Dr. fala

3:06

3 minutes, 6 seconds

que as bênçãos do Senhor alcançarão, mas a bção do Senhor alcança aquele que tá aí trabalhando em movimento. E eu abri uma empresinha de segurança, comecei a trabalhar à noite e treinava de dia, né?

3:16

3 minutes, 16 seconds

Então era bem desgastante, mas as coisas foram se aliando, foram, né? Alguns patrocinadores, amigos meus foram

3:24

3 minutes, 24 seconds

chegando e algumas portas foram se abrindo. Messi me ligou a outras pessoas muito importantes, né? Alguns lugares

3:32

3 minutes, 32 seconds

que eu visitei ou que eu passei, as pessoas não deram muito bola para mim ou não acreditaram no meu potencial, né? E aí o Mestre Gil viu em mim uma um

3:41

3 minutes, 41 seconds

potencial maior do que as pessoas imaginavam. E através dele com 9 meses eu eh com quase um ano eu cheguei no FC.

3:49

3 minutes, 49 seconds

Queria que você me falasse um pouco da sua esposa, né? Porque ela te ajudou muito.

3:52

3 minutes, 52 seconds

Nossa, como é que é o nome dela?

3:54

3 minutes, 54 seconds

É Ariane. Evely, minha esposa foi essencial para esse, para mim chegar aqui, porque quando eu quis desistir

4:01

4 minutes, 1 second

para trabalhar, chegou um momento que comecei a ganhar um dinheiro, né? Botei uma empresinha para trabalhar. Aí ela falou para mim: “A gente não veio aqui para você trabalhar com empresa, a gente veio aqui para você entrar no FC”.

4:12

4 minutes, 12 seconds

E aí ela abriu minha mente, né, junto com a minha filha Alice. E eu ouvi ela, ouvi Deus

4:20

4 minutes, 20 seconds

falando através dela e falei com o mestre Gil e falei: “Mestre, eu vou eu vou trocar de turno para mim conseguir ter mais tempo de treinar”. Troquei de

4:28

4 minutes, 28 seconds

turno, saía do turno do do da onde eu trabalhava e ia para para treinar.

4:34

4 minutes, 34 seconds

E nesse período a Evil, minha esposa, abandonou a formação dela, abandonou família para ir comigo para Curitiba, sem nada. A gente não tinha nada, foi

4:42

4 minutes, 42 seconds

comigo para Curitiba, me seguiu, me acompanhou e ela tá prest do de acreditar em mim, de confiar em mim.

4:51

4 minutes, 51 seconds

Olha onde você chegou, como é que foi entrar aqui hoje?

4:54

4 minutes, 54 seconds

Ah, foi incrível, né? Eu tava, às vezes eu começo a conversar com o pessoal, com o meu time e eu não deixo me vislumbrar

5:01

5 minutes, 1 second

muito, né? Porque isso aqui eu vou vir muitas vezes aqui ainda. É, mas olhando para trás de toda essa trajetória de 13

5:09

5 minutes, 9 seconds

anos de competições, de mais de 13 anos de um sonho que meu pai colocava vídeo cassete pra gente assistir nessa época ainda, que o FC tava no início, era mais

5:17

5 minutes, 17 seconds

o Pride. E olhando para hoje, quantas vezes eu quis desistir só para estudar ou trabalhar e hoje eu tô aqui graças a pessoas que não deixaram de desistir e

5:26

5 minutes, 26 seconds

graças Deus, graças mais ainda a Deus que me fez promessas e hoje tá realizando, né? Graças a você também ao seu trabalho, a sua dedicação. Fala um

5:35

5 minutes, 35 seconds

pouco e do seu estilo para quem não conhece, não tive lutar ainda, como quem é o José Montanha no octógono?

5:40

5 minutes, 40 seconds

O José Montanha no octógono as pessoas conhecem ele mais pelo grapin refinado ultimamente, né?

5:49

5 minutes, 49 seconds

Porque eu tinha na minha mente que eu tinha acabado tinha que acabar as lutas rápido para pro FC me notar, mas aí eu

5:55

5 minutes, 55 seconds

deixei de mostrar outras coisas, né? O nosso jitso da da Gil Ribeira é um jitso

6:02

6 minutes, 2 seconds

agressivo, um jitso que machuca, a gente ou finaliza ou não calia no chão, né?

6:07

6 minutes, 7 seconds

Não tem essa de ponto dominar, a gente quer acabar a luta. E eu também tenho karatê, né? Eu através do CCaldo e

6:16

6 minutes, 16 seconds

outras pessoas que chegaram no time depois que eu vim para Curitiba, eu aperfeiçoei meu karatê e eu tô pronto para mostrar um bom strike também, né?

6:25

6 minutes, 25 seconds

que as pessoas não viram meu strike ainda o suficiente.

6:28

6 minutes, 28 seconds

Que que você sabe sobre o seu adversário?

6:30

6 minutes, 30 seconds

Eu sei que ele é um atleta duro, né? Um peso pesado natural. Sei que ele tem bons overhands cruzados, eh, que ele é

6:37

6 minutes, 37 seconds

agressivo, mas eu tenho total convicção do do meu jogo, do meu do meu da minha preparação, do trabalho que eu fiz

6:45

6 minutes, 45 seconds

durante todo esse tempo e eu vou anular o jogo dele e acaba rápido como tem sido todas as vezes.

6:51

6 minutes, 51 seconds

Então é isso, gente, para ver a estreia do José Montanha no Octógono neste sábado no Paramon Plus. Manda um recado, chama todo mundo para assistir essa estreia.

6:58

6 minutes, 58 seconds

Pessoal, vem com a gente me acompanhar. Convido todos os evangélicos do Brasil.

7:03

7 minutes, 3 seconds

[música]

0:24

24 seconds

Montanha é o novo contratado do UFC e que vai estrear no dia 20 de junho lá em

0:32

32 seconds

Las Vegas, justamente [música] contra um atleta daqui de Curitiba, o Jonathan Dinizis. Conta pra gente como que foi

0:40

40 seconds

essa tua sensação de entrar no FC, mas logo de cara ter que enfrentar um atleta que inclusive já tem cinco lutas na organização.

0:49

49 seconds

Eu tava ansioso assim com a aquela expectativa de entrar no UFC, né, após a minha última luta. Eu ficava imaginando, né, o dia que eu ia realizar esse sonho.

1:01

1 minute, 1 second

Quando me ligaram, aí o mestre me ligou perguntando como é que eu tava e aí fez a anunciou a [música] proposta da luta.

1:10

1 minute, 10 seconds

Eu aceitei imediatamente, né, porque falei um bom nome, ele já é um atleta cadenciado lá na na organização.

1:18

1 minute, 18 seconds

Ganhando dele, já vou chegar com os dois pés na porta do UFC. [música] É uma espera de 13 anos desde que eu comecei a

1:25

1 minute, 25 seconds

competir e ve meses com mestre Gílio a gente chegou no UFC. Eu aceitei a luta muito feliz, muito [música] contente,

1:33

1 minute, 33 seconds

sem aquela ansiedade, toda aquela loucura, né? Eu aceitei como só um passo, só uma porta que abriu, né?

1:40

1 minute, 40 seconds

Afinal é uma luta que foi só, é só a primeira de muitas, para o que eu imagino, para o que eu vejo de visão de

1:47

1 minute, 47 seconds

futuro, né? Sem nenhuma pressão, apesar de tu tá estreando, eu tô tranquilo, tô bem bem treinado e bem sóbrio também. E

1:56

1 minute, 56 seconds

eu acredito também que vai seguir a securas que eu tive, né? E será uma via rápida.

2:01

2 minutes, 1 second

Lá no Mato Grosso, na sua terra natal, qual que foi o momento que te fez pensar que um dia chegaria no FC?

2:10

2 minutes, 10 seconds

Quando eu fui vice-campeão brasileiro de karatê, eu comecei a treinar na capoeira e fiz outras coisas, né? Fiz com bifô,

2:18

2 minutes, 18 seconds

fiz o jits, o karatê. E do karatê, um professor falou para mim, um sensei falou para mim que eu precisava treinar

2:25

2 minutes, 25 seconds

jits porque pelo meu esforço eu poderia chegar a conquistar vários títulos. Eu poderia [música] até ingressar na elite

2:33

2 minutes, 33 seconds

do MMA mundial, né, e um dia chegar a UFC se eu continuasse me esforçando. Aí eu fui para Cuiabá, comecei a treinar

2:41

2 minutes, 41 seconds

com o pessoal lá em Cuiabá e depois de um ano eu voltei para Campus de Júlio, voltei a treinar karatê também até o dia

2:49

2 minutes, 49 seconds

que eu consegui vir para cá. Mas desde essa época aí que eu fui conquistando os campeonatos de karatê gilito, o pessoal falava: “Ó, se você for para uma equipe,

2:58

2 minutes, 58 seconds

para uma cidade que tem um pessoal capacitado desse nível aí, que tem os empresários que entendem da situação, do

3:05

3 minutes, 5 seconds

cenário, você tem [música] total potencial e condição de chegar no FC, né? Você precisa ir, precisa sair daqui, porque Mato Grosso não tem o recurso que

3:14

3 minutes, 14 seconds

você precisa. Até o dia que eu consegui vir para cá, meio meio com aquele medo de largar o concurso, né, cara

3:21

3 minutes, 21 seconds

concursado e tal, né, de de vir sozinho sem sem parente aqui. Aí aqui eu conheci pessoas como mestre Gile, que me fez

3:28

3 minutes, 28 seconds

enxergar que realmente poderia ser possível. Hoje estamos aí colhendo o resultado. E você estreando no FC já

3:35

3 minutes, 35 seconds

deve ser uma alegria constante. Quando você teve essa notícia que você ia assinar esse contrato? Cara, essa parte

3:43

3 minutes, 43 seconds

aí foi bem emocional, porque eu tinha ido pra igreja, aí o pastor revê-lo para mim que eu ia lutar em Las Vegas, fez

3:51

3 minutes, 51 seconds

uma profecia lá, só que não tinha nada, nada, nenhum contrato, não tinha recebido nenhuma ligação ainda. Aí eu fui pra luta do CFP, lutei contra um

3:59

3 minutes, 59 seconds

cara que veio de São Paulo, que treina contra do UFC, o cara vinha nocouteando todo mundo e veio aquela pergunta que muitas pessoas fazia mais montanha é um

4:07

4 minutes, 7 seconds

grapple, é só jits e tal. E aí foi a minha melhor performance, né? Eu bati nele em pé. Superei ele em pé e eu tava machucado ainda. Coloquei para baixo,

4:16

4 minutes, 16 seconds

acabei a luta porque na minha cabeça eu precisava de fazer a luta em 3 minutos para impressionar os olheiros, né, o Mick, o Hunter, se eles olhassem algum

4:25

4 minutes, 25 seconds

vídeo da luta. E aí eu ganhei a luta em 3 minutos. Aí eu lembrei do que o pastor falou. E quando o mestre me ligou duas semanas depois que ele eu tava em casa e

4:34

4 minutes, 34 seconds

eu tava pensando, falei: “Cara, será que precisar fazer mais duas lutas ou três para poder ir?” É aquela pressa, né? Já são 13 anos trabalhando. Aí o mestre me

4:43

4 minutes, 43 seconds

ligou meio dia em ponto, ele me deu a notícia que a [música] gente tava no no UFC. Aí eu chorei para caramba, né? Agradeci a Deus.

4:49

4 minutes, 49 seconds

Foram quantos dias depois do Duas semanas. Duas semanas.

4:52

4 minutes, 52 seconds

Duas semanas. Três semanas depois que eu do que o pastor falou para mim e duas semanas depois que eu lutei. Bateu certinho. Esse vídeo tá lá no meu Instagram. Foi um choque assim também de

5:01

5 minutes, 1 second

de início, porque era algo que eu assistia com o meu pai quando meu pai era vivo e a gente assistia junto. Falei assim: “Meu pai não vai ver eu como

5:09

5 minutes, 9 seconds

atleta do UFC, [música] mas eu vou honrar o legado do esporte que ele trouxe pra família, né? Era maratonista e minha mãe vai desfrutar isso, minha

5:17

5 minutes, 17 seconds

família vai desfrutar as son junto comigo.

5:19

5 minutes, 19 seconds

E para essa estreia ser logo com um atleta daqui de Curitiba, um atleta brasileiro, qual é a tua sensação? Eu

5:26

5 minutes, 26 seconds

não vejo como peso por ser de um curitibano de nascenço, mas eu vejo como uma missão que foi jogada a dois

5:36

5 minutes, 36 seconds

guerreiros e um deles vai ter que ir pro título, buscar o título e eu passando, eu vou assumir esse manto de buscar o

5:43

5 minutes, 43 seconds

título. Eu vejo isso com bons olhos e com muita fé, passando dele uma caminhada até o cinturão. Eu acredito muito que eu vou chegar no cinturão um dia, não vai demorar. Creio muito nisso.

5:54

5 minutes, 54 seconds

Eu creio muito no Deus que eu seu. E eu creio que contra o nome de peso igual a ele, porque é um atleta duríssimo também. Eu não falo, não falo que eu já

6:02

6 minutes, 2 seconds

falei como, como ego como superioridade, mas eu falo como [música] questão de planejamento, de visão, de fé, de de

6:10

6 minutes, 10 seconds

propósito mesmo. É porque eu vou passar por todos os que já os que se posicionaram contra mim, como eu tenho feito atletas de nome, eu tenho vencido

6:18

6 minutes, 18 seconds

todos eles. E a gente não vai lutar uma arte isolada, a gente vai lutar MMA. E o meu alvo é o cinturão. Todos os atletas

6:26

6 minutes, 26 seconds

que vierem antes vai ser apenas degrais para mim subir.

6:28

6 minutes, 28 seconds

E você já conhece o Dinis e tem alguma coisa para surpreender? Eu já conheço o jogo dele, estratégia.

6:36

6 minutes, 36 seconds

Igual eu me perguntaram se eu teria alguma preocupação dele tá treinando com o Poatan contra o Lobo. [música] É o que eu disse, falei assim, lá dentro vai lutar eu e ele. O campeão não vai lutar

6:44

6 minutes, 44 seconds

por ele, vai ser eu e ele. E é uma luta de MMA, não é uma luta de kickbox, porque as pessoas acham que o Montenha só tem gilit e grappler, não é só o

6:52

6 minutes, 52 seconds

wrestl. Mas eu também tenho knockouts no meu Sher dog. Eu tenho ótimas performances em pé também, né? Eu já fui

6:59

6 minutes, 59 seconds

vice-campeão brasileiro de karatê e eu tenho uma equipe bem organizada, tem um pessoal com um ótimo trabalho sendo

7:06

7 minutes, 6 seconds

feito. Então é o que vai ser, né? Eu acredito que eu vou chocar muita gente.

7:11

7 minutes, 11 seconds

Então, já que você terminou falando exatamente isso que vai chocar muita gente, o que você passa pra galera te

7:19

7 minutes, 19 seconds

impressionar? Como que você acha que os fãs podem esperar do montanha já nessa estreia?

7:26

7 minutes, 26 seconds

O meu gilgitso é um gilitso diferente.

7:29

7 minutes, 29 seconds

Não é um jitso que pontua jitso de fazer ponto. Meu jitso machuca. Meu jits é fatal. E podem esperar um giliteiro, um

7:37

7 minutes, 37 seconds

grap que bate, que troca soco, que levanta o público, porque o meu estilo de lutar é bonito de ver. Então não espere uma luta amarrada ou uma luta

7:46

7 minutes, 46 seconds

chata, porque meu jit é style. A gente gosta de machucar, galera. Então, dia 20 de junho lá no

I’m here with Carroll Fo. What a fantastic job. What a fight. It took a long time for you to get here. How good

0:52

did it feel to make your UFC debut? And is that the type of fight we can expect every time you step inside the Octon? It was truly amazing.

1:23

1 minute, 23 seconds

I’m looking for experience. I’m always looking to make some money and I’m always trying to learn as much as possible. That’s why I want to get experience here and I always try to put

1:31

1 minute, 31 seconds

on a show and I hope you guys enjoy what you saw tonight. Well, Carol, let’s take a look at your work. Look, it’s up here.

1:38

1 minute, 38 seconds

You guys just went at it. Was this the type of fight that you expected when Gi Kudo took the fight?

2:07

2 minutes, 7 seconds

I knew she was very technical. Saw a lot of footage on her and a lot of videos before I saw. Listen, she is the most technical fighter I’ve ever faced, but I

2:15

2 minutes, 15 seconds

was able to hold my own there and I was able to come out with a win. Well, that was a tremendous performance.

2:20

2 minutes, 20 seconds

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Carroll Forro.,,Oi, gente. Evelyn Rodrigues aqui no Metax ao lado da Carol Fórum que vai enfrentar a Gigi Canuto neste sábado, FC Vega 120. Tudo bem, Carol?

0:07

7 seconds

Tudo certo. Ansiosa.

0:09

9 seconds

Finalmente, né, essa estreia vai acontecer o quê? São dois anos esperando.

0:13

13 seconds

Não, não. Eh, desde setembro do ano passado, né, do depois do contender, eu tive um problema aí com com a suspensão.

0:22

22 seconds

Aí agora que eu consegui consegui pegar minha estreia.

0:26

26 seconds

Como é que foi aguardar esse tempo esperando ansiosamente aí por esse momento?

0:30

30 seconds

No início foi difícil, foi difícil, mas eh continuei trabalhando, treinando. É o meu trabalho, né?

0:37

37 seconds

Continuei treinando, trabalhando e tô tô preparada agora. Vocês foram anunciadas agora, né? Porque a Gigi não passou ainda essa semifinal do TUF. Você tava acompanhando o programa?

0:47

47 seconds

Eu não tava, vou ser sincera, eu não tava. Eu fiquei sabendo a semana passada e aí fui olhar o que tinha, né? Só

0:56

56 seconds

depois. Que que você acha da Gigi assim como como a sua oponente para essa estreia? Ela é uma boa, uma boa adversária. Acho que

1:05

1 minute, 5 seconds

tem bons eh boas finalizações, tem um bom cartel, mas eu acho que é é uma boa luta para mim para estrear.

1:16

1 minute, 16 seconds

Vamos falar um pouquinho da sua história. Como é que você começou nas artes marciais?

1:19

1 minute, 19 seconds

Ah, tem muito, muito tempo. Eu quando era criança, eu comecei no karatê, tinha uns 6, 7 anos. Depois eu vim, eu fui

1:27

1 minute, 27 seconds

paraa Brasília, sou do Pará, fui paraa Brasília. [roncando] Eh, de lá eu treinava, não treinava exatamente na academia, mas eu treinava muito com meus

1:35

1 minute, 35 seconds

irmãos. Na época, o meu irmão mais velho, ele tinha condição só ele pagar alguma academia para ele treinar e

1:42

1 minute, 42 seconds

quando ele chegava em casa, a gente treinava em casa com ele, né? Não tinha luva para todo mundo, a gente enrolava a

1:49

1 minute, 49 seconds

toalha na mão e saía brigando assim. Eh, com o tempo a gente foi crescendo, foi indo atrás de academia, foi treinando, aperfeiçoando.

1:59

1 minute, 59 seconds

Eu gostei muito da parte da trocação.

2:02

2 minutes, 2 seconds

Eh, tentei um bom tempo ficar só na trocação, só que depois um há três anos

2:09

2 minutes, 9 seconds

atrás eu conheci o meu treinador. Aí ele falou: “Bora treinar que eu acho que você chega lá”. E aí foi isso. Cheguei,

2:18

2 minutes, 18 seconds

estamos aí para estrear agora. O seu irmão também é lutador hoje.

2:22

2 minutes, 22 seconds

Então, eh, eu tenho dois irmãos que são lutadores, um é de box e o outro é de kickbox.

2:29

2 minutes, 29 seconds

Eh, o restante não não quis seguir a carreira de luta, mas eh são felizes com o que fazem.

2:36

2 minutes, 36 seconds

Tava no sangue, então, né, para ser É no sangue e e na na cultura a gente gosta dessa dessa de trocar porrada.

2:43

2 minutes, 43 seconds

Quem são os seus principais ídolos no esporte?

2:46

2 minutes, 46 seconds

No esporte, eu gosto de falar que em questão de ser ídolo, eh, eu foco mais nas pessoas que estão do meu lado, né,

2:54

2 minutes, 54 seconds

que a gente admira, que é o meu treinador, meus parceiros de treino, meus irmãos, né, eu acho que eles são meus ídolos. É isso.

3:02

3 minutes, 2 seconds

Para quem não conhece a Carol, que que você tem, o que que você traz pro Octógono? Como é que é seu estilo de luta?

3:08

3 minutes, 8 seconds

É divertido, eu acho. Eu espero que seja divertido. Eu tento trazer mais emoção pra luta, né? Tento trazer adrenalina,

3:17

3 minutes, 17 seconds

eh, não gosto de luta parada, então tô tentando trazer algo, algo novo até pra categoria.

3:23

3 minutes, 23 seconds

Então é isso, gente. Acompanha a estreia da Carol nesse sábado na CGA 120. Manda um recado aí pro pessoal.

3:28

3 minutes, 28 seconds

Galera, a minha é a primeira luta, então liga a TV cedo que eu vou est lá nocoutteando.

3:36

3 minutes, 36 seconds

0:45

Am com Carol Foro. Que trabalho fantástico, que que luta. Demorou muito para você chegar aqui, mas como você se

0:54

54 seconds

sente sua estreia e é o tipo de luta que você estava esperando e assim vai ser como você toda vez que entrar no octógono

1:01

1 minute, 1 second

de começar tua carreira no FC. Demorou bastante para você chegar aqui e é o tipo de luta que a gente pode esperar daqui pra frente, tá, Carol?

1:08

1 minute, 8 seconds

Claro. [suspirando] Eh, eu tô buscando experiência, eh, ganhar dinheiro também para mudar de vida. Espero que todo mundo tenha

1:16

1 minute, 16 seconds

gostado. Eu sempre entrego mulher o que eu tenho aqui dentro e eu espero aprender mais e melhorar cada vez mais.

1:40

1 minute, 40 seconds

Was this type ofighturo took the fight? Vocês foram com tudo, uma para cima paraa outra. É isso que você esperava quando você soube que você ia lutar contra a Gigi?

1:50

1 minute, 50 seconds

Eu sabia que ela era bem técnica, como eu falei em algumas entrevistas, ela tem um chão muito bom, uma técnica. Eu acho

1:58

1 minute, 58 seconds

que foi a melhor adversária tecnicamente que eu já enfrentei.

2:02

2 minutes, 2 seconds

É, mas graças a Deus eu consegui segurar o máximo e entregar o meu máximo.

2:08

2 minutes, 8 seconds

I knew she was very technical saw a lot of footage on her and a lot of before I saw listen she is the most technical fighter I’ve ever face but I was able to

2:16

2 minutes, 16 seconds

hold my own there and I was able to come out with that was a tremendous performance ladies and gentlemen give it up the coro foro

,,,,,,Foi uma guerra. Você ficou surpresa que depois que você deu aquele down nela lá, ela chegou a voltar depois dos golpes

0:14

14 seconds

que você deu no primeiro round que derrubaram ela, que ela voltou, voltava sempre para cima.

0:19

19 seconds

Não fiquei surpresa. Eh, acho que todo mundo tem essa capacidade, né, de aguentar, levantar, eh, só tentar mais.

0:27

27 seconds

tentando mais, só que machuquei a mão um pouco antes, mas continuei do mesmo jeito.

0:53

53 seconds

Quando é que você acha que você machucou a tua mão? Já sabe quando é que você machucou? Foi, não sei se foi no primeiro soco, mas foi um soco que cortou o rosto dela e ela caiu.

1:03

1 minute, 3 seconds

Foi nesse soco que machucou.

1:12

1 minute, 12 seconds

So did upset you at all that you get inight e de chateada que você já vinha aqui com

1:21

1 minute, 21 seconds

seis knockouts seguidos e agora você você não conseguiu ou o contrato já sara isso?

1:28

1 minute, 28 seconds

Eu fiquei chateada com a minha performance. Eh, acho que eu poderia ter sido melhor. Treinei para ter sido melhor, mas fico feliz de ter conseguido

1:37

1 minute, 37 seconds

entrar, né? Era o objetivo final. Então fico feliz com isso.

1:58

1 minute, 58 seconds

E como é que foi ver a reação do naquele? Não sei se você viu, mas ele primeiro levantou, aplaudiu de pé e depois deu a volta e foi para dentro do

2:06

2 minutes, 6 seconds

octógono. Fez questão de falar para você que foi incrível.

2:11

2 minutes, 11 seconds

Na hora eu até assustei porque eu eu tava eu tava meio chateada que eu não tinha conseguido a performance que eu queria,

2:20

2 minutes, 20 seconds

né? Eh, mas fiquei feliz de saber que isso é uma coisa boa. Eu perguntei pro meu professor se isso era uma coisa boa,

2:28

2 minutes, 28 seconds

né? Mas fico feliz. Eu fiquei é um pouco sem saber o que aconteceu, mas fiquei

2:34

2 minutes, 34 seconds

feliz depois de entender. Scar meus surprismed

2:54

2 minutes, 54 seconds

up. Congratulations when he was talking that was one fights that he ever seen.

3:06

3 minutes, 6 seconds

Quando você tava sentado, na hora que você tava sentada, ele ele tá conversando com a Laura Sanco para falar se você ganhou o contrato ou não. E ele

3:15

3 minutes, 15 seconds

tava conversando com ela e falando assim: “Eu acho que eu acho que foi, para mim foi uma das melhores lutas femininas que eu já vi aqui. É, você

3:22

3 minutes, 22 seconds

tava sentindo que você tava num lutaço durante a luta?

3:29

3 minutes, 29 seconds

Então, mais ou menos, como eu falei, eh, fico feliz de ter conseguido que eu consegui, né, o contrato, mas queria ter

3:38

3 minutes, 38 seconds

mostrado um pouco mais se a minha mão tivesse melhor, né?

3:47

3 minutes, 47 seconds

So, so because as I said I understand very happy the contract from a friend like that but I wish I could have done

3:56

3 minutes, 56 seconds

more if my hand in that case I feel I could have done better and in

4:02

4 minutes, 2 seconds

one of the rare cases that also got a contract could you tell you that was good enough

4:10

4 minutes, 10 seconds

to get a contract as well every tough you thought might be e um dos casos raros aqui numa terça-feira Era, ela também ganhou um

4:17

4 minutes, 17 seconds

contrato. Você percebeu que o nível de competição era alto? Se deu para perceber quando você tava com ela falou assim: “Não, tô lutando com a lutadora que fez para merecer também. Tem que tá, tem que estar nesse nível”.

4:28

4 minutes, 28 seconds

Não, foi uma boa, uma boa luta. Foi bom.

4:31

4 minutes, 31 seconds

Foi bom ver que tem alguém que apanha e levanta de novo, né? Eh,

4:40

4 minutes, 40 seconds

acho que não. O nível aumentou, mas eu também tô aumentando junto com o nível. Então, acho que é isso.

5:13

5 minutes, 13 seconds

com a tua força, com a maneira como os golpes foram tão contundentes, você trabalha muito bem o corpo, depois você varia e vai e realmente você tem uma

5:20

5 minutes, 20 seconds

porrada forte. Você acha realmente que você é uma das lutadoras mais fortes na divisão dos palhos?

5:28

5 minutes, 28 seconds

Ah, não sei, mas a gente vai testando, né, todo mundo. Vamos ver se vai dar bom.

5:45

5 minutes, 45 seconds

E por último, quando você tava na transmissão, você falou o seu companheiro que você gostaria que tivesse no FC, você poderia falar aqui pra imprensa também o nome, porque eles não entenderam o nome.

5:55

5 minutes, 55 seconds

É o Luiz de Verdramini, é um cara sinistro aí que vai dar trabalho. Você precisa de uma chance. Uh Luigi Vmini uh

6:05

6 minutes, 5 seconds

listen he’s bad ass and he’s going to get you know he’s going to be trouble for a lot of people just all he needs is a chance.

6:13

6 minutes, 13 seconds

Congrats on the win… go

Naši gosti su trener Renato Subotić i nova UFC borkinja Nikolija Milošević, koja je u svom debiju ostvarila spektakularnu pobedu i pokazala da pripada samom svetskom vrhu.

Govorićemo i o ulozi MMA kluba Crvena Zvezda, koji je obezbedio profesionalne uslove za trening i pripreme, stvarajući okruženje iz kojeg je proistekao jedan od najvećih uspeha srpskog MMA u poslednjih nekoliko godina. ————————————————————————— ,,

Okay, so I think the whole thing went a bit faster than you could almost look. Let’s watch the Finisch again here when we have it on the video cube. So, you have

0:29

Let’s take a look at it here on the video cube. When did you realize that the joke was right and that you could use it to finish it in the first round? Yes, I gave him a

0:36

a few blows. He was a bit of a pant. Then I went to the joke. It’s my first submission in 25 professional fights or something.

I would like to fight again in Poland right away, if I can.

A Mhch was planned, but it has now been booked differently, I don’t know. And then in the stadium gladly. Yes.

Yes, I watch his fight. He is a very aggressive fighter like me.

0:15

He’s a good boxer, but I think I can make a good war versus versus him.

1 minute, 14 seconds

in every discipline of MMA striking grappling better in every discipline

1:23

1 minute, 23 seconds

thank you Ici Simon Itata pour Fight for yours je

1:31

1 minute, 31 seconds

voulais savoir si on considère le style des deux combattants Euh est-ce que tu crois qu’il est impossible de voir ce

1:38

1 minute, 38 seconds

match, cette lutte arriver au 3è rou, arriver jusqu’au final ?

1:43

1 minute, 43 seconds

Rien n’est impossible mais je pense que ça va être vraiment très compliqué de de voir un combat aller au 3è round connaissant nos deux styles. On est deux deux combattants qui allent de l’avant.

1:53

1 minute, 53 seconds

Donc j’espère pour le public que ça n’ira pas au 3è round. En tout cas, crois qu’il est mieux pour toi d’avoir

2:01

2 minutes, 1 second

un adversaire comme celui-là euh qu’il est un peu comme toi en finisher, qu’il arrive toujours à à terminer le combat

2:10

2 minutes, 10 seconds

avant le 3e round, tu crois qu’il est mieux ou que ça il n’y a pas trop de différence pour toi en fait ?

2:17

2 minutes, 17 seconds

Non, pour moi il y aura pas forcément de différence. C’est juste que le public le public va se régaler. Ils vont voir deux hommes rentrer dans la cage, vouloir euh

2:26

2 minutes, 26 seconds

vouloir se battre, se tuer pour euh pour arracher la victoire. Donc je pense que c’est un très beau spectacle pour le public.

2:34

2 minutes, 34 seconds

Il a beaucoup de luttes. Il a plus de lutte que toi en fait dans son record.

2:38

2 minutes, 38 seconds

et que je veux savoir si tu crois que et la compétition qu’il a à laquelle il a fait face et est une compétition très

2:47

2 minutes, 47 seconds

forte ou si tu as pas trop vu ces combats, si tu as pas trop analysé ses combats et ses adversaires avant toi, qu’est-ce que tu penses des adversaires et des luttes qu’il a fait avant toi ?

2:58

2 minutes, 58 seconds

Bien sûr, j’ai regardé euh tous ces combats. Euh j’ai vu qu’il a pas forcément une adversité euh très élevée

3:05

3 minutes, 5 seconds

comparé comparé à moi. Euh il a peut-être plus d’expérience que moi sur le circuit professionnel, mais il faut savoir que j’ai énormément de combats

3:14

3 minutes, 14 seconds

dans d’autres disciplines que ce soit en lutte, en grappling.

3:18

3 minutes, 18 seconds

J’ai vraiment énormément d’expérience donc ça me pose pas de problème qu’il est qu’il ait plus de combat que moi. Bien au contraire.

He’s the pleasant surprise of the summer for French MMA. After a stint in the ARES organization where he racked up three quick first-round victories, Noah Gugnon (9-2) makes his UFC debut this Saturday at Fight Night in Belgrade, Serbia, against Montenegrin Milos Janicic (19-3).

,,, YT – After 3 minutes 7 seconds into round number three, referee Mike Beltran calls a stop to the fight. For the winner by

0:08

8 seconds

submission be a head and arm choke, Abdul [screaming] King Hussein.

0:18

18 seconds

[cheering]

0:21

21 seconds

I’m here with Abdul Hussein. Abdul, what a beautiful performance. UFC debut. How good does it feel to get a victory?

0:27

27 seconds

What’s up DC? Remember me? Yes, I do. I absolutely remember you.

0:32

32 seconds

You were able to control this fight with your pace and your pressure. Was that the game plan coming in knowing that Cody took this fight on short, noticing he would fatigue?

0:40

40 seconds

Yeah, Cody is usually a pressure fighter. When the fight begins, he comes out really fast. And my plan was to not get taken down like I did right away,

0:48

48 seconds

but then I had to survive a couple of submission attempts. And after that, I knew he done like he’s going to get tired. Honestly, my arms got a bit got a

0:56

56 seconds

bit heavy, but I wasn’t like breathing too heavy, but I couldn’t just strike like I wanted. Abdul, let’s take a look at your work up here. You were able to

1:03

1 minute, 3 seconds

get him on the ground, hurt him in the second round, but in the third round, you hit a beautiful trip to take him back to the mat. Your transitions were

1:10

1 minute, 10 seconds

fantastic, and then you found that arm triangle to secure the finish. Did you think you could submit a guy like Cody Gibson who has such a great grappling

1:19

1 minute, 19 seconds

background? Yeah, I think I submitted him with his best submission, arm triangle. So, I’m happy for that. But yeah, we’ve been preparing hard and I

1:26

1 minute, 26 seconds

had the whole thing in Las Vegas with the ultimate fighter and then I was supposed to fight again in a week or stuff like this. It was so heavy and the

1:34

1 minute, 34 seconds

pressure was big to be honest because I’m the only fighter from Finland now representing in the UFC and from Palestine. We are like three in UFC. So,

1:43

1 minute, 43 seconds

I’m so happy to be here and I know I belong here and this is not my best. You will see much higher level performance from me.

1:49

1 minute, 49 seconds

Well, if this isn’t your best, there is so much more to come.

, Abdul, congratulations for the big win. Thank you.

0:16

16 seconds

Tell us about your feelings. Your de debut with a finish like that one.

0:22

22 seconds

The fight started pretty hard. He came out with a good taked down and then I was scrambling back on my feet and he attacked some anacondas and dar chokes

0:30

30 seconds

but I had him I had them well covered but yeah after that I saw him he got a bit tired so I upped the pace and slowly

0:38

38 seconds

took over the fight but my arms were so heavy man I wanted to strike more in the third round but then I decided to grapple the wind around and I knew I

0:46

46 seconds

will catch him in a submission sooner or later but with the submissions he tried guillotine and several ones were about

0:53

53 seconds

to be finished at at certain point because we saw that you were calm during the defense.

0:59

59 seconds

Yeah, I didn’t think about tapping not for even one second. If I go out, I go out, but I had him I was defending good

1:06

1 minute, 6 seconds

like uh one of them was tight but I knew when I turned my hip I got a bit of space to breathe and yeah then I submitted him with his favorite choke.

1:14

1 minute, 14 seconds

Last question. You told the DC that do you remember me? Tell us about your encounter with DC before. So yeah, DC I

1:22

1 minute, 22 seconds

was on the ultimate fighter the season 34 and there was DC and Bisbin coaching and yeah then I told DC do you remember

1:29

1 minute, 29 seconds

me because they didn’t pick me but DC told me he wanted to pick me but his team was favoring some other fighters or something but yeah that’s why I told him

1:37

1 minute, 37 seconds

do you remember me and he was laughing and he told me congratulations. I’m not really mad. I was just teasing him a bit. Thank you. Thank you brother.

1:48

1 minute, 48 seconds

Hey Abdul over here. Hey. Hi. Um, if you could give yourself a mark out of 10 for that performance tonight, what would you give yourself? And can you explain your reasons why?

1:56

1 minute, 56 seconds

I would give myself a seven and a half out of 10 because I wanted to showcase more of my striking because I’m really

2:04

2 minutes, 4 seconds

really good striker. And yeah, my arms felt a bit heavy. But yeah, 7 and a half out of 10 because the beginning wasn’t

2:12

2 minutes, 12 seconds

so good because I knew he was going to shoot eventually, but I threw the my left straight way too hard and he shot under under perfectly. It was good from

2:21

2 minutes, 21 seconds

him. But yeah, after I scrambled from the submissions, I felt the fight turning to me and yeah, even when he took me down in the third round, I knew I’m going to get up and he’s dead tired.

2:31

2 minutes, 31 seconds

Yeah, I know it’s very soon after the fight, but have you got any idea of what’s next for you? Yeah, I heard there’s an event here in October and any

2:39

2 minutes, 39 seconds

card in Europe. I want to bring big UFC fans from Finland to watch the fight in Europe. And yeah, that’s my one of my plans is either Abu Dhabi or Europe somewhere.

2:48

2 minutes, 48 seconds

And just lastly for me, have you got a message for the Palestinian fans?

2:51

2 minutes, 51 seconds

Yeah, stay strong, my brothers and sisters. We’re going through hard times. Stay strong. God is with us.

2:57

2 minutes, 57 seconds

Thanks and congratulations. Thank you. Hello Abdul. Hello.

3:06

3 minutes, 6 seconds

Uh, a long time since New Finnish fighters has entered UFC. It was 2015.

3:14

3 minutes, 14 seconds

Yeah.

3:14

3 minutes, 14 seconds

And now 11 years later, it’s you. What does it mean?

3:18

3 minutes, 18 seconds

It means a lot. Uh, I’m so proud of that. And to again have a Finnish fighter in the UFC is a huge thing in Finland. And I can’t wait to open my

3:27

3 minutes, 27 seconds

phone and look at all the messages because Finland is going crazy at the moment.

3:33

3 minutes, 33 seconds

What what kind of plans do you have for celebration later today?

3:38

3 minutes, 38 seconds

Well, I’m going to go out with the family. We’re going to eat big celebrate because this is a long time coming and I’ve worked for this for such a long

3:45

3 minutes, 45 seconds

time. So, I’m going to enjoy it for a couple nights at least.

3:49

3 minutes, 49 seconds

Uh later, you you said you want to fight later this year. Any idea against whom?

3:56

3 minutes, 56 seconds

Peter Yon. No, I’m just joking. No. Um, whoever the UFC tells me to fight. When you enter the UFC, there’s not who I

4:04

4 minutes, 4 seconds

want to fight. You fight anybody. Like, give me anybody and I will sign the dot. I’m ready.

4:11

4 minutes, 11 seconds

I always look at the fights, the good and the bad. You You were in trouble in the first round. Yeah.

4:17

4 minutes, 17 seconds

Uh, was it bad? It looked tight.

4:23

4 minutes, 23 seconds

Yeah, the one of them was tight, but it wasn’t like, oh, I’m going to tap. I wasn’t thinking of tapping. Like I said, um I was thinking I’m going to get out

4:30

4 minutes, 30 seconds

or I’m going to go to sleep, but it wasn’t that side. It wasn’t close to getting like going to sleep. When I defended them, I was like, “Okay, I’m

4:38

4 minutes, 38 seconds

going to get up now. It’s time to get up.” Is it different to fight in the UFC than in in other promotions? Is the diff level different?

4:46

4 minutes, 46 seconds

Yeah, the professionalism is is huge.

4:49

4 minutes, 49 seconds

like everything works on schedule on just on the on the minute, you know, and like even the opponents like Cody today, I had him like he was dead tired in the

4:58

4 minutes, 58 seconds

second round after the second round, but he started the third round with a good takedown again. And yeah, like the guys, they don’t break easy.

5:23

5 minutes, 23 seconds

Thank you.

5:24

5 minutes, 24 seconds

Thank you Abdul. Since the ultimate fighter, just tell us about the multiple fights that you were supposed to fight but they were

5:33

5 minutes, 33 seconds

cancelled or postponed and how does that affect your preparation?

5:37

5 minutes, 37 seconds

Like I like the the two weeks in the Ultimate Fighter when I was there, it was the most stressing weeks of my life.

5:44

5 minutes, 44 seconds

Like I was there for a week in a hotel and then we go to the tryyout. They tell told us a day before that there’s a try out. You’re not in the house yet. And I was like what’s happening here?

5:54

5 minutes, 54 seconds

Yeah, we had the try out and then they didn’t pick me and then Daw White took us to the office and he was like, you’re going to fight in the Contender Series

6:01

6 minutes, 1 second

at least. Then I was like, yeah, yeah, whatever. I was pretty pretty disappointed at the moment. Then the next day, we did some Ultimate Fighter

6:08

6 minutes, 8 seconds

Media stuff and my manager called me, Mali. They were like, “Oh, but can you make way tomorrow?” And I was like, “Yeah, of course I can. There’s like

6:17

6 minutes, 17 seconds

event in Winnipeg. You want to go there?” And I was like, “Yeah, let’s go.” Then they were like, “We’re going to call you in 2 hours to let you know.” But then they postponed that fight and I

6:25

6 minutes, 25 seconds

didn’t get the shot. And then I traveled the next day from Vegas to Dallas and I was about to travel from Dallas to Finland back. And then I was in Dallas

6:35

6 minutes, 35 seconds

about to switch the planes. And then he called me again. He’s like, “You’re going to fight next week on the Zal versus Sterling card. Get back to Vegas

6:42

6 minutes, 42 seconds

right now.” And then I went to the pilot. I was like, “Yo, I need my back.

6:45

6 minutes, 45 seconds

I have to exit this airplane.” And they gave me my bags. I went back to Vegas. I stayed in the UFC hotel. But then they didn’t get me the P1 visa. And then they

6:54

6 minutes, 54 seconds

were again like, “Yeah, go back to Finland. We’re going to get you a fight.” When I went back to Finland, I slept for like 25 hours. I was so dead from all the stress, man. It was crazy.

7:04

7 minutes, 4 seconds

Like craziest two weeks of my life.

7:08

7 minutes, 8 seconds

So today was the the happiest day, the reward day.

7:11

7 minutes, 11 seconds

Happiest day. One of the happiest days of my life for sure. All right. Thank you guys.

7:18

7 minutes, 18 seconds

Thank you. Thank you everybody.

,,Abahussein kyll tosa niinku mun mielestä kolme kirjainta ja UFC ja fight week niin kyll mä oon ainakin iloinen ja kyll suakin näyttää hymyydettäväl.

0:12

12 seconds

Joo kyllä mä oon aika iloinen ja ylpeä et ollaan täällä.

0:16

16 seconds

Muutama päivä nyt UFC kulisseissa puuhasteltu kaikkea, niin onko tää ihan sama ku kaikkealla muualla?

0:24

24 seconds

No aikalailla joo. Et asiat tehdään vielä vähän ammattimaisemmin. Just et tuoda annetaan sulle ruoat otteluviikkoa varten ja kaikki aikataulut tosi

0:32

32 seconds

tarkkoja ja kaikki toimii sulavasti. Et ehkä snadisti parempi ja isompi, mut aika samaa kuitenkin.

0:39

39 seconds

Sä et vielä päässyt tohon viralliseen pressiin jälkipressiottelun jälkeen toki, mut mitä luulet kun sä

0:46

46 seconds

ensimmäisenä ottelijana räjäyt tu Eihadareenaan tuossa naapurissa voitolla, niin onko sen jälkeen sitten UFC sitä mieltä, että noissa ennakkopress Sabbah Husseen aina paikan

0:55

55 seconds

päällä? Kyllä mä luulen. Kyllä mä luulen, et paljon mä olen katsonut tätä korttia, kun jengi analysoi ja muuta, niin paljon on puhuttu musta. Ja sitten tässä oli joku journalisti Abu Daabista

1:03

1 minute, 3 seconds

sanoi, et kaikki on tulossa katsoo sun matsia ja muuta, et et vissiin j tietää oikeasti täälläkin päin, kun ollaan oteltu monesti.

1:09

1 minute, 9 seconds

Niin monessko matsissa tää on sulla Abu Dhabis?

1:11

1 minute, 11 seconds

Tää on viides. Viides matsi vai kuudes? Joo, kuudes taitaa olla itseasiassa.

1:17

1 minute, 17 seconds

Eli melkein Sulla on varmaan enemmän tää matsia ku Helsingissä. ammattilais niin [naurua] on niin on

1:24

1 minute, 24 seconds

kuinka iso paine siitä tulee kun nyt nyt tosiaan täällä on aikamoinen jengi jo nyt katsoo sua suomesta ja tulee lisää väkeä ja äsken nauhoitettiin Viaplayl

1:33

1 minute, 33 seconds

mainokset oikeesti tää on vähän niinku kuitenkin isompi taakka myös sun harteille mitä sun pitää tehdä niin niin

1:41

1 minute, 41 seconds

ni vielä ainakin leveät hartiat kantaa. Joo joo kantaa kantaa.

1:46

1 minute, 46 seconds

Sitten mä niinku mä mietin sitä sillai, et mä oon ylpeä, et mä saan kantaa Suomen niinku tänne UFC:hen taas pitkästä aikaa ja edustan niitä kovalla

1:53

1 minute, 53 seconds

tasolla, niin mulla on semmonen ylpeä fiilis siitä sen sijaan, et mulla olis paineita, että ei ei musta tunnut mun pitää pakottaa mitään. Mä tiedän kuinka hyvä mä oon, niin mä meen vaan suorittamaan.

2:03

2 minutes, 3 seconds

UFC henkilökunta on tottunut siihen, että ottelijot tulee ja menee ja niillä on viikottain kauhea show.

2:10

2 minutes, 10 seconds

Niin tuntuuko se, että ne on ottanut sut hyvin vastaan? on todella hyvin, että just näin tuon Brian Moorin, joka alkoi

2:17

2 minutes, 17 seconds

olla kommentaattorin matsissa, niin se sanoi, että mä katoin sun matsit, et sä olot todella viihdyttävä ottelija ja mä oon tosi innoissa, niin pääsee katsoo sun matsia ja näin, niin kyllä kaikki on

2:24

2 minutes, 24 seconds

ottanut tosi hyvin vastaan ja näkee, että ne on tehty taustatyötäkin, niin tää on kuitenkin maailman iso vapaaotteluorganisaatio varmaan itsompi ku yksikään yksittäin

2:32

2 minutes, 32 seconds

nyrkkeilypromoottori. Niin onko joku yllättänyt sut? Oot sä nähnyt tuolla kulisseissa jotain et et ei vitsi

2:40

2 minutes, 40 seconds

et eikö ne miten ei nyt saa totakaan tai vitsi onpas niillä hienot jutut jotain semmoista ku mikä yllättäis no ehkä positiivisesti just se et jos

2:47

2 minutes, 47 seconds

Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog
Magomed Bekshievich Zaynukov (Russian: Магомед Бекшиевич Зайнуков; born January 2, 1995) is a Russian mixed martial artist and former Muay Thai kickboxer. He is currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the Lightweight division.[2] In his Muay Thai career, Zaynukov was a two-time IFMA world champion and a WMC Intercontinental champion.
Muay Thai career

In Muay Thai, Zaynukov was a four-time Russian champion, a European champion, a two-time IFMA world champion, and won the WMC Intercontinental Championship.[3][4] He regularly trained with Jason Wilnis.[5] For his achievements, Zaynukov was named a Honored Master of Sports of Russia. Zaynukov defeated world champion Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee in December 2018, in a bout held in Perm, Russia.[6]

Mixed martial arts career
Early career

Although from a Muay Thai background, Zaynukov was part of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s camp in Dagestan known for its high-level wrestling.[7] He made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2021 and by 2025 he had an unbeaten 6–0 record. He won his first five fights by first-round stoppage.[8] Zaynukov stated to MMA Fighting in 2025 that he trained with fighters such as Islam Makhachev, Usman Nurmagomedov, and Gadzhi Rabadanov.[9]

Zaynukov faced fellow undefeated fighter Shakhmar Sadygov in a featured bout at UAE Warriors 58 in February 2025.[10] He won by unanimous decision. Zaynukov subsequently competed on Dana White’s Contender Series in October 2025. He defeated Lucas Caldas by unanimous decision and was awarded a contract in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Zaynukov broke the Contender Series record for most significant strikes landed (248) in a lightweight bout and was congratulated afterwards by his coach Khabib Nurmagomedov.[11][12]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Zaynukov made his UFC debut against Damian Rzepecki on July 25, 2026, at UFC Fight Night 282.[13] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[14]

Personal life

Zaynukov was born on January 2, 1995.[1] He is from the village of Chanko in Dagestan, Russia. As a result, he was nicknamed “Wild Chanco”.[15] In 2024, Zaynukov’s teammate Islam Makhachev referred to him as “Chanco” but this was misinterpreted as “John Pork”, which is an internet meme about a cartoon pig. Zaynukov said in October 2025 that he disliked the name “John Pork” and requested that fans do not call him that.[12][16]

Ladies and gentlemen, the end comes officially. 1 minute 40 seconds of round number one. Referee Nick Barren with a halt to the fight. Your winner by TKO

0:09

9 seconds

and still undefeated, RJ the Hammer Harris. [screaming]

[cheering]

0:20

20 seconds

Let’s go.

0:22

22 seconds

I’m with RJ Harris. RJ, how good does this feel? We saw you earlier in the week and you seemed a little nervous, but now you seem happy. You had that big

0:31

31 seconds

old smile. How good does it feel to get a victory like that?

0:33

33 seconds

I mean, the nerves are there, but when the cage door closes, it’s all business.

0:37

37 seconds

So, I feel amazing. I couldn’t have brought it up any better for my debut.

0:42

42 seconds

Let’s take a look at your work up here, R.J., you guys were training the striking. You hit him with an uppercut

0:49

49 seconds

and you lifted a 260lb man off of his feet. Did you know that that punch would be available to you?

0:56

56 seconds

Uh, I mean, I saw it on some tape and stuff when he’s coming in getting caught. He likes to duck. So, I knew the uppercut was going to be there

1:04

1 minute, 4 seconds

eventually. So, I mean, when it was there, I saw it. I went for it. Felt great.

1:09

1 minute, 9 seconds

R.J., one week ago, you weren’t even in the UFC. Now, you just secured the biggest knockout of your career. How do you move this forward? What do you want to do next?

1:17

1 minute, 17 seconds

Man, I know my wife’s 35 weeks pregnant.

1:20

1 minute, 20 seconds

We can have a baby anytime. So, Enjoy that. And it.

1:27

1 minute, 27 seconds

Hey, it’s okay to be emotional. You’re about to be a father.

1:31

1 minute, 31 seconds

Take all this in, man. You just did something great. I felt great.

1:37

1 minute, 37 seconds

[cheering]

1:40

1 minute, 40 seconds

[applause]

1:42

1 minute, 42 seconds

Good job, man. First UFC victory. New father. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for RJ Harris.

, Congrats on the win and staying undefeated.

0:03

3 seconds

Um, is this how you envisioned your UFC debut going? Um, not exactly. You know, I was tired. Three days notice to make 145 lbs.

0:12

12 seconds

Wasn’t the easiest. Um, a super game opponent. You know, if he wasn’t so good at grappling, probably get him out of there. I think he’s ranked in the world in grappling, one of the best grapplers

0:20

20 seconds

in the world. And I went and put a wrestling clinic on him. Of course, uh, I’d like to show some more things in my skill set, but with three days notice, I’d go in and try to break them as good

0:28

28 seconds

as I could. Did you notice him grabbing the fence in the first round?

0:31

31 seconds

Uh, I didn’t notice. Um, Damen Super Game, I followed him for years. I respect him a ton. Once I got the match up against him, I knew it was going be a

0:39

39 seconds

tough fight. I didn’t know exactly what the game plan was going to be. I mean, some of my coaches, we talked about striking with him the whole time, just out kickboxing him. Sometimes we talked

0:46

46 seconds

about wrestling him up. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, but once I got a hold of him the first time, I felt how tired it made me, and I thought, man, I

0:53

53 seconds

know he feels this. I know he feels this pressure. and I could feel him wilting in the third and I was like, man, I just got to keep this wrestling grind going on him.

1:00

1 minute

And then uh you you mentioned the short notice that you took the fight on. Did that have a big factor in the weight miss this week?

1:06

1 minute, 6 seconds

Yeah, 45 is not hard for me to make. You can tell I’m not a very big 45, but with three days to make 145 pounds. I had to lose 18 pounds. I lost 17. Missed by a

1:14

1 minute, 14 seconds

pound. I had to give up some of my perch for it. It is what it is. Come out. Still got to win. It’s what it is.

1:20

1 minute, 20 seconds

And then you have a lot of fans back in the Midwest and central Illinois. Do you have a message for them? Yeah, I love you guys, man. Uh, shout out to everyone in Phoenix. Um, I got a pretty big fan

1:29

1 minute, 29 seconds

base for being my UFC debut. I I thank all you guys. I appreciate all the support. I even appreciate the haters.

1:35

1 minute, 35 seconds

Seen a lot of hate with me online. I a lot of love online. I was so pumped to see how uh hyped everyone was for this fight. And uh I would have liked it to

1:42

1 minute, 42 seconds

be a little more exciting, but two world class grapplers going at it. You know, I come out, I did my thing, and at least I got the hand race.

1:49

1 minute, 49 seconds

And then is there anyone specifically you’d like next in the weight class?

1:53

1 minute, 53 seconds

Um, no one off the top of my head right now. I wish I had a name for you guys right now, but uh, uh, UFC, just give me another name and I’ll keep taking them

2:00

2 minutes

out and we’ll keep going. This is my first performance with UFC. I heard I got the takedown record in a three- round fight if that’s cool. Um,

2:08

2 minutes, 8 seconds

hopefully get to show a little more notches of my game and get a finish this next fight, but uh, just thanks to my team, thanks to the Lord above the

2:15

2 minutes, 15 seconds

opportunity, and uh, just thanks for all the support.

2:20

2 minutes, 20 seconds

Ezra, congratulations on your win, remaining undefeated. Uh, speaking of the hate that you mentioned that you had throughout um the last couple days, how

2:28

2 minutes, 28 seconds

do you deal with, you know, during your fight here today? You had several takedowns with a very dominant performance, but the crowd was booing during your whole fight.

2:36

2 minutes, 36 seconds

Yeah, I heard the crowd booing. Um, it didn’t get in my head, but of course, I wanted to show more, you know. I know I got more uh uh notches in the cap. I

2:46

2 minutes, 46 seconds

know my team’s full of entertaining fighters. say you love having MMA Lab, Redhawk guys, you know, uh Tommy has a big fan base here. Everyone loves Sugar and you know, they put on great

2:53

2 minutes, 53 seconds

performances and shows and of course I wanted to do that, but the [snorts] situation I had in front of me, I had to do what I had to do to get

3:00

3 minutes

the win. And um Damen’s world class. No one could probably do what I did to him in the entire featherweight division today. Anyone that fights Damen, I highly doubt any of them could take him

3:09

3 minutes, 9 seconds

down that many times holding the way I did. So regardless, still an impressive performance.,,Congrats on the win and staying undefeated.

3:09

3 minutes, 9 seconds

down that many times holding the way I did. So regardless, still an impressive performance.,so in the next five to ten years I would say my biggest goals to be the UFC champion

0:07

7 seconds

my name is Ezra Elliott 23 years old uh MMA fighter fighting at Phoenix Arizona at the MMA lab I won the 2023 Arizona

0:16

16 seconds

abcc open I was a 2019 ihsa Illinois high school wrestling state champion right now I have no ceilings or limits

0:25

25 seconds

for myself I’m taking it one day at a time just staying present training hard every day two days every day just grinding and getting better of course I

0:33

33 seconds

want to be UFC champion and I have the aspirations to be the best in the world like any other fighter you know I think I I can definitely accomplish that I

0:41

41 seconds

keep working the way I’m working but we’ll see what God has planned for me and we’ll see where this thing takes me some of my Inspirations you know a lot

0:49

49 seconds

of people I train with you know I’ve been some of my biggest Inspirations trigger of course guys like Kyler Phillip Mario Batista Marcus Maniac

0:57

57 seconds

Magee the list goes on Benson Henderson the guys I’m training with every day they seem to be my biggest inspiration I see how hard they work day in day out

1:05

1 minute, 5 seconds

you know they’ve been doing this for over a decade and I see where where it’s taken them so I’m following the same path and trying to do the same thing uh the thing I think is the most difficult

1:14

1 minute, 14 seconds

it’s just really it’s a balance of like your mental energy in a day not burning the torch too early the week’s a marathon and uh if you burn the torch

1:23

1 minute, 23 seconds

too early you’re no good by the end of the week or that last boring day you know so I think a lot of it is you know you gotta know your body train hard but

1:32

1 minute, 32 seconds

don’t overdo it where you can’t train hard the next day um I think my favorite part is just the people I’m doing with everyone

1:39

1 minute, 39 seconds

surrounding me like they’re some of my best friends now I’ve only been at the lab for two years but all the friendships and relationships I’ve made

1:47

1 minute, 47 seconds

with everyone the prices whenever I went into the tournament I had only competed at blue belt before so I’m Purple belt but I haven’t competed at purple and

1:56

1 minute, 56 seconds

this uh tournament either that black belt so it’s my first time going from Blue to Black it’s a pretty big jump but I’m always confident going into

2:04

2 minutes, 4 seconds

competition and just people I train with are so high level and I know I stack with some of the best guys so it didn’t

2:10

2 minutes, 10 seconds

surprise me or anything but in some way it did cement that like I do belong I’m definitely more of a Grappler than I am

2:18

2 minutes, 18 seconds

a striker in my style of course but I’m an all-around martial artist now and I’m what I’m growing into so I think that just kind of proves where my grappling’s

2:26

2 minutes, 26 seconds

at and and within the next few years where it’s gonna go so I’m gonna be a problem for a lot of these guys in MMA whenever we hit the mats they’re going

2:34

2 minutes, 34 seconds

to be in trouble yes I don’t think I don’t know like I don’t I don’t think I very much like him on all my feet

2:41

2 minutes, 41 seconds

but so I would say yeah if I know they I think the past Generations uh they were figuring it out you know there was even

2:50

2 minutes, 50 seconds

even just a few years ago the internet wasn’t as much of a thing where like now you can when I get done training I go home and I’m studying I’m like sitting

2:59

2 minutes, 59 seconds

there on my phone I’m studying I get my notepad out and I’m I’m writing stuff and I’m bringing it in the next day and I’m asking my coaches what do you think about this and I’m always picking my

3:07

3 minutes, 7 seconds

training Partners brains and that’s kind of what we do we just like are a collective Consciousness and we really

3:15

3 minutes, 15 seconds

work hard together and problem solve so I think the difference now is the answers are out there you just got to look for them where before you had to

3:23

3 minutes, 23 seconds

know someone that knew it to really get to get to learn something where now there’s just the internet just trying to change the whole game so in the next

3:30

3 minutes, 30 seconds

five to ten years I’ll say my biggest goal is to be the UFC champion it’s kind of the end game for me that’s well you know best in the world is the Pinnacle

3:39

3 minutes, 39 seconds

of the sport so that’s where I’d want to be it’s a mother aspirations I have some grappling aspirations I I really enjoy

3:45

3 minutes, 45 seconds

competing and just grappling and uh I like to be an 80cc world champion that’s the biggest thing in grappling of aacc

3:54

3 minutes, 54 seconds

rule set is a full rule set I feel like where there’s the there’s the wrestlings involved too and I love the sport of

4:01

4 minutes, 1 second

wrestling and ACC has the most wrestling involved compared to the ibjf or other rule sets those are my two main goals

4:08

4 minutes, 8 seconds

UFC champion ADCC champion

22 seconds

after uh you know some people up in MMA you were able to get a lot of good movement out of him able to use your wrestling to put him on his back that

0:30

30 seconds

was the game plan coming in I think we’re going to walk you through the replay here look at this and tell us what you see yes so went for arm drag to uh it’s called the kosoto double but uh

0:39

39 seconds

actually no it’s not it’s a kuchi double but anyways took him down and now I just wanted to cook him Nikki Rod was doing a great job just reminding me about my

0:46

46 seconds

Pace reminding me about my hand fight and then uh you know in overtime I felt that he was starting to break so that’s when I really started to get my offense

0:53

53 seconds

going what can we expect to see next from you look at that great finish what can we expect to see next from you here on the this fight Past St you trying to

1:01

1 minute, 1 second

get back in here and if you got somebody in mind man I’m trying to fight some MMA fighters in this in this AIU Jitsu stuff so I don’t know if like the 25 and 35ers

1:09

1 minute, 9 seconds

maybe Cody garbrandt or something somebody crazy like that I’d love to go grapple those guys all right calling out the UFC guys ladies and gentlemen from

1:17

1 minute, 17 seconds

the B team it’s your winner Damen Andersonell Damen in your Fight Pass Invitational debut a submission and overtime right in front of Charles Olivera how you feeling after that uh honestly feeling really great it’s been

0:07

7 seconds

a while since I’ve been on uh the Jiu-Jitsu Jiu-Jitsu mats you know I’ve been doing some MMA but great to be back here it’s a great feeling and uh UFC is doing such a great job with the uh sport

0:16

16 seconds

you’re following a path that some um Jiu-Jitsu practitioners then Fighters have taken this pathway maybe to the UFC Cody steel did it himself I spoke to him

0:25

25 seconds

about you he said you’re a Savage misses training with you um to have the Jiu-Jitsu community and also the

0:32

32 seconds

fighting community be so behind you as you are on this journey what does it mean to you honestly it’s it’s a great feeling you know the support from friends family um you know the sport as

0:41

41 seconds

a whole it’s just an awesome feeling that I get to carry the Jiu-Jitsu flag into MMA and then hopefully the top of the UFC we love it now game plan for

0:48

48 seconds

this one was it to go to overtime to Tire him out during regulation and then to go for that submission so it wasn’t to go to overtime but the goal was to

0:55

55 seconds

Tire him out you know uh I’m a I’m a bantamweight in in the UFC this fight was at 155 he’s a little bit bigger than me so the idea first is just to Tire him

1:04

1 minute, 4 seconds

out a little bit once I feel that he gets tired then we start incorporating our submission attacks so uh it just happened that it took us to overtime to

1:11

1 minute, 11 seconds

until he got really tired and then you saw me increase my Pace you train out of the B team we saw Nikki rod in the corner F pass Invitational veteran

2:53

2 minutes, 53 seconds

BUT IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE OUT THERE. IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE BE HERE.

2:57

2 minutes, 57 seconds

AND IT’S NOT THE LAST TIME IT’S GOING TO GET BIGGER THAN THIS AND BETTER THAN THIS, AND I’LL BE SO EXCITED WHEN IT DOES. I HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

3:02

3 minutes, 2 seconds

YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF OF BEING BACKSTAGE IN THE WALK TO THE OCTAGON AND THE ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND ONCE THE FIGHT STARTS GOING, HOW, IF AT ALL DIFFERENT DID IT

3:11

3 minutes, 11 seconds

FEEL FOR YOU THAN SOME OF THOSE OTHER MASSIVE SPOTLIGHTS YOU’VE BEEN UNDER?

3:14

3 minutes, 14 seconds

OH MAN, THIS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF THRILL.

I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO EXPECT A SHOT.

3:43

3 minutes, 43 seconds

I WANTED TO SEE HOW HE WOULD DEFEND. HE DEFENDED WITH A GUILLOTINE.

3:45

3 minutes, 45 seconds

AND AFTER THAT, YOU KNOW, THE FEINTS AND THE JABS WERE EATING HIM UP. WE HAVE A CODE WORD TO SHOOT.

3:51

3 minutes, 51 seconds

THE SHOT WAS COMING, BUT THE PUNCH HIT. SO.

3:53

3 minutes, 53 seconds

BUT I WAS JUST EATING HIS BODY UP WITH KICKS. I SAW HIM WINCING.

3:56

3 minutes, 56 seconds

I SAW HIM, I SAW HIM SLOWLY GIVING UP.

3:59

3 minutes, 59 seconds

SO IT WAS A COOL TO SEE THAT DIMINISHING OF OPPONENT. YEAH.

Nas ruas da favela, os sonhos parecem distantes.

0:08

8 seconds

Ninguém acreditava que o moleque do Murra ia chegar aqui, mas eu nunca parei de lutar.

0:23

23 seconds

Meu nome é Jeferson Nascimento, mas conhecido como Todinho no mundo da luta. Tudo começou aqui no Santa Marta.

0:31

31 seconds

foi apresentado ao judô quando era bem novo. As competições eu mais perdia do que ganhava, mas desistir

0:40

40 seconds

nunca foi uma opção. Aprendi que na vida só a persistência forge a vitória.

0:47

47 seconds

Alguns anos depois, no centro esportivo Santa Marta, descobri o box, o moitai e o Jits foi ali que comecei a me interessar mais sobre o mundo da luta.

0:57

57 seconds

Depois de um tempo, meu pai conseguiu uma oportunidade para mim na RFT, uma equipe de luta que fica perto do murro onde nós moramos.

1:05

1 minute, 5 seconds

Ali tive contato com lutadores profissionais e comecei a entender o que era um lutador de verdade. Me motivei com aquele ambiente e decidi começar a

1:13

1 minute, 13 seconds

competir também. Logo na minha primeira luta amadora, venci e me apaixonei pela adrenalina.

1:20

1 minute, 20 seconds

Foi quando comecei a enxergar a luta com outra perspectiva na minha vida. Não era mais um sonho. Se tornou meu propósito de vida.

1:33

1 minute, 33 seconds

Tudo ia bem. Até que numa competição de luta livre, senti meu joelho torcer como nunca antes. Mas eu continuei. Ganhei a

1:41

1 minute, 41 seconds

primeira luta, a segunda sem conseguir esticar a perna, mas na terceira a dor venceu.

1:48

1 minute, 48 seconds

Era cirúrgico. A gente acha, pô. problema.

1:54

1 minute, 54 seconds

A recuperação da cirurgia não foi a parte mais difícil do processo. Ver todos os meus companheiros de treino evoluindo, competindo. Enquanto eu tava parado, isso sim me incomodava.

2:06

2 minutes, 6 seconds

Minha cabeça me dizia para nunca desistir, mas naquele momento voltar a lutar parecia impossível.

2:16

2 minutes, 16 seconds

Depois de meses fora dos tatames, chegou o dia. Me estreia mim profissional.

2:23

2 minutes, 23 seconds

Naquele momento eu me sentia numa final de Copa do Mundo. Todo mundo tava lá.

2:29

2 minutes, 29 seconds

Minha família, meus amigos, companheiros de treino, estavam todos ali. O peso das expectativas era grande sobre mim, mas maior ainda era minha vontade de vencer.

2:39

2 minutes, 39 seconds

E foi uma vitória linda, o primeiro passo concreto para tudo que eu sonhava.

2:46

2 minutes, 46 seconds

Antes da luta mais importante da minha carreira, enfrentei desafios cada vez maiores e adversários experientes. Cada

2:53

2 minutes, 53 seconds

vitória foi construída com suor, sacrifício e foco absoluto.

3:00

3 minutes

Então, foi o grande dia.

3:04

3 minutes, 4 seconds

Foi o momento de colocar tudo que vivi dentro do octógono e lutar pelo cinturão.

3:14

3 minutes, 14 seconds

No primeiro round, a luta foi dura.

3:17

3 minutes, 17 seconds

Enfrentei golpes pesados, mas mantive o foco. No segundo round vi a brecha e conectei o golpe perfeito e nocoutei meu adversário.

3:27

3 minutes, 27 seconds

[Música]

3:29

3 minutes, 29 seconds

Quando o árbitro ergueu minha mão, eu sabia. Aquele cinturão não era só meu, era de quem acreditou em mim desde o início.

3:42

3 minutes, 42 seconds

Eu conquistei o cinturão do LFA. Mas meu sonho, meu sonho não acaba aqui. Eu vou levar essa história ainda mais longe,

3:49

3 minutes, 49 seconds

porque eu não luto só por mim, eu luto por todos, por todos que acreditam que podem vencer.

3 minutes, 54 seconds

4:02

4 minutes, 2 seconds

todo el campamento. Este, y nada, me veo ganando, me veo ganándolo bien, me veo cansándolo, me veo este finalizando la

4:18

4 minutes, 18 seconds

pelea, así que está para que no parpadeen.

4:21

4 minutes, 21 seconds

Bueno, y te y como decía, tienes mucha experiencia en peleas de campeonato acá en Latinoamérica. Pocos peleadores llegan con tanto recorrido, ¿no? Este, a su debut, ¿no? ¿Cómo ves la división?

4:30

4 minutes, 30 seconds

¿Cuántas peleas sientes como para empezar a a pensar en pues los clasificados? es una dimensión con mucha con mucha profundidad, ¿no?

4:38

4 minutes, 38 seconds

Sí, yo pienso que pues depende de mi primer contrato, quiero terminar todas mis todas mis peleas del primer

4:45

4 minutes, 45 seconds

contrato, acabarlas y después ya renegociar y ver que a ver si me tiran otro nombre ya cerca del top, que está

4:53

4 minutes, 53 seconds

cerca del top o que está hace mucho y yo creo que unas tres, cuatro finalizaciones ya empezar a ir por el por el top.

5:02

5 minutes, 2 seconds

¿Hay algún hombre, alguna pelea soñada que que pienses hoy? alguna algún rival de los ya sea veterano, ¿no? Con el que ten visualizado.

5:09

5 minutes, 9 seconds

Sí, claro. A mí me gustaría pelear con el Coding of Love. La verdad que lo veo hace mucho también con cualquiera del

5:17

5 minutes, 17 seconds

top que del top 10 para arriba, no sé o Malgui, este, el ¿cómo se llama? El Peter yan. Esos son, o sea, cualquiera

5:26

5 minutes, 26 seconds

el top, esos son mis mi mis peleas favoritas con las que voy a querer pelear porque son con los que crecí también viéndolos pelear y ahora estar

5:35

5 minutes, 35 seconds

ahí casi cerca de pelear con ellos me motiva mucho.

5:38

5 minutes, 38 seconds

Bueno, pues paso a pasito, hay primero que, como dices, cumplir con ese primer contrato, empezar a pensar esos nombres y bueno, pues ahí vamos a estar pendientes.

5:44

5 minutes, 44 seconds

Claro que sí. Y nada, pero muy buena pelea. Voy a dejarlo todo y nos vemos este 16 de mayo en Vegas. Yeah.,

2 seconds

Tranquilo, listo.

0:05

5 seconds

A la cámara todo el tiempo, siempre a él. Mírala a él.

0:08

8 seconds

Es muy común que se mire a la persona que está entrevistando. A veces no te quieren mirando directamente la cámara y siempre te decimos, o sea, en este caso, míralo a Zac.

0:15

15 seconds

Okay.

0:19

19 seconds

Deb falta un par de días. ¿Cómo te sientes?

0:23

23 seconds

Me siento genial. Este, me siento super bien, super bien entrenado, super bien de la cabeza, todo listo para ganar el sábado.

0:44

44 seconds

Si te cambió la vida. ¿Cómo ha cambiado tu vida desde que obtuviste el contrato? F.

0:51

51 seconds

Eh, yo creo que me cambió en una parte que venía hasta un eh ciertas cosas, o sea, he empezado una nueva una nueva

1:00

1 minute

etapa, una nueva etapa en mi vida. Así que nada, es ese seguir escalando ahora, seguir ganando las peleas y estar más

1:09

1 minute, 9 seconds

enfocado que nunca para para hacer una gran carrera.

1:16

1 minute, 16 seconds

in sense it’s a new stage of my life. Um I’ve started a new part of this journey

1:23

1 minute, 23 seconds

and this career and now is time to continue to train, continue to dedicate myself, continue to improve and continue

1:31

1 minute, 31 seconds

to um get higher and higher in this new um this new time of my career. And then what’s it mean to you to represent Peru in the UFC?

1:50

1 minute, 50 seconds

Y lo cu importante es representar a Perú en UFC. Obviamente ya tuvimos peleadores, pero en este momento estás acá, eh, que tiene la bandera es tú. Y,

2:00

2 minutes

o sea, ¿cómo es eso? Y y ¿cómo está el escenario de las artes máxemistas en Imperio en ese momento?

2:06

2 minutes, 6 seconds

Es genial poder, la verdad representar a Perú. Eh, los escenarios allá en Perú y las MMA cada vez están creciendo.

2:16

2 minutes, 16 seconds

Como siempre lo digo, o sea, si hac ya también empecé las MMA en Argentina que me me ha abierto muchas puertas y también

2:24

2 minutes, 24 seconds

obviamente entreno hace muchos años en México, así que nada, se siente bien poder eh representar Perú y llevar

2:33

2 minutes, 33 seconds

conmigo un poquito de Argentina, un poquito de México, entonces un poquito en general de Latinoamérica.

2:43

2 minutes, 43 seconds

And as I said, well, that’s that’s you know that’s where I’m from. And I think the scene there for the MA has gotten better and better and I think it’s

2:50

2 minutes, 50 seconds

pretty solid. And um I started my m in Argentina so able to see that as well and then um gone and trained a lot in

2:59

2 minutes, 59 seconds

Mexico. So I’m very happy to to carry um flag of Peru and represent and also take with me a little bit of Argentina and a

3:07

3 minutes, 7 seconds

little bit of Mexico and represent American culture.

3:17

3 minutes, 17 seconds

Y la fisión y aquellos que no te conocen. O sea, ¿qué te gustaría que conocieran de tu de tu camino, de tu trayectoria hasta ese momento? ¿Le

3:26

3 minutes, 26 seconds

gustaría que la gente que ahora te va a conocer en tu debut? Eh, sería interesante que la gente conociera y me gustaría que eh que conocieran y se

3:35

3 minutes, 35 seconds

supiera que con trabajo duro, disciplina se puede llegar. Eh, no importa el tiempo, puede pasar antes, puede pasar

3:41

3 minutes, 41 seconds

después, pero va a llegar. y también que nada, toda la gente que me va a ver, que también me conociera por mi estilo,

3:50

3 minutes, 50 seconds

por mi estilo de MMA completo y y nada, que con trabajo duro, respeto, disciplina se puede llegar muy lejos.

4:05

4 minutes, 5 seconds

get things done, you’re going to accomplish things. It may happen sooner, it may happen later with hard work and discipline

4:13

4 minutes, 13 seconds

can achieve things and go far if you do that.

4:22

4 minutes, 22 seconds

Y, ¿cómo fue la reacción? Se algunos pensamientos generales cuando recibiste el nombre de Malwaker como tu rival en

4:29

4 minutes, 29 seconds

tu primera pelea lo eh me emocioné mucho, la verdad. Me emocioné mucho porque es un peleador muy bueno, es un peleador con hype, eh, es

4:38

4 minutes, 38 seconds

un peleador con poder. Entonces, nada, dije, es un buen reto. Me están poniendo también en el makear de debut. Entonces,

4:45

4 minutes, 45 seconds

si UFC me pone estas pruebas es porque piensa que los puedo hacer, así que lo voy a ir a pasar, voy a ir a ganar y voy

4:52

4 minutes, 52 seconds

a dejar mi nombre ahí en la UFC. Qué pegajoso vino para quedarse.

5:11

5 minutes, 11 seconds

And then the opportunity to be in my debut in the main card as well. So coming out

5:19

5 minutes, 19 seconds

for very happy with the opportunity, very happy to get a win. That’s what we came here just to tell people that you

5:25

5 minutes, 25 seconds

know sticky is here to stay. I know you’re not

5:32

5 minutes, 32 seconds

going, o sea, sabemos que la estrategia no va a

5:40

5 minutes, 40 seconds

revelar en este momento, no es la intención, pero o sea, ¿qué crees que va a ser la parte tu juego? O sea, ¿cuál eh

5:50

5 minutes, 50 seconds

cuál disciplina? ¿Cuál? O sea, ¿qué qué de tu juego va a ser lo más importante y

5:57

5 minutes, 57 seconds

te va a llevar a una victoria este sábado?

6:00

6 minutes

Eh, sí, es algo que puedo decirlo, resumirlo en una palabra, es eh presión, ponerle presión, no darle espacios y más

6:09

6 minutes, 9 seconds

que lo que pueda hacer él enfocarme y me he enfocado mucho en lo que voy a hacer yo, así que y usar las artes marciales

6:16

6 minutes, 16 seconds

mixtas. Estos son MMA, así que vamos a ir abajo, vamos a ir arriba, vamos a ir en la lucha. Lo voy a tener todo el tiempo presionando porque estoy

6:24

6 minutes, 24 seconds

preparado para los tres rounds o en este caso no creo que llegue a a los jueces.

6:38

6 minutes, 38 seconds

worrying about when he brings to the table, but what I can take to him is just going to sit to to get my style of fighting and just uh get that done and

6:47

6 minutes, 47 seconds

and to basically do MMA, we’re here to be complete. Um if we need to go down to the ground, we’re going to find down the

6:55

6 minutes, 55 seconds

ground. If he need to if this needs to say standing stay standing. We’ll put in some wrestling in there as well. Um I think to be a complete fighter and go out for the win.

7:14

7 minutes, 14 seconds

Sé que estás enfocado en el sábado cuando pero cuando miras hacia un poquito más adelante tu trayectoria en FC, ¿dónde va tu

7:23

7 minutes, 23 seconds

carrera, dónde ves eh dónde va a estar eso?

7:28

7 minutes, 28 seconds

Claramente quiero ser campeón y claramente yo pienso, creo y lo estoy diciendo constantemente que como a los

7:36

7 minutes, 36 seconds

30 años eh 30 en un o 2 años ya voy a estar compitiendo por el título, así que

7:43

7 minutes, 43 seconds

eh sí, paso a paso, ganar mis primeras peleas, ganarla de una forma buena para

7:50

7 minutes, 50 seconds

empezar a pedir al número uno, al top 15, top 10, top 5, top 1 hasta ser campeón y mucho más adelante ya, ¿por

7:59

7 minutes, 59 seconds

qué no? Salón de la fama, eso me gustaría.

8:03

8 minutes, 3 seconds

I clearly champion to be a champion and and that’s what I want to do. Um, and I

8:10

8 minutes, 10 seconds

think that for me it’s about getting exciting wins. You get that win. So,

8:17

8 minutes, 17 seconds

about two years about 30 years old, I could be fighting for a title. It’s it’s you get good fights to be in the top 15,

8:26

8 minutes, 26 seconds

be able to call out on top 15 people, beat people on top 15 to start getting top 10 and top 10 top and then you start doing that and to be a champion and go

8:35

8 minutes, 35 seconds

into the hall of that’s what you wanted to have and that’s how Y la última cosa, ¿qué va a estar

8:44

8 minutes, 44 seconds

pasando por tu cabeza en el momento que estás hagas tu walkout ahí? O sea, esta esta caminada hacia tu debut en el octavo.

8:52

8 minutes, 52 seconds

Primero que nada, sí, disfrutar, disfrutar cada momento, así como estoy disfrutando ahora la FWek, disfrutar cada momento y en mi cabeza va a pensar

9:00

9 minutes

hacer tu mejor intento, hacer tu mejor actuación y dejar una buena carta de presentación.

9:13

9 minutes, 13 seconds

D’oyght,

9:27

9 minutes, 27 seconds

y la última pregunta, ¿qué dice el tatuaje y qué significa para ti?

9:31

9 minutes, 31 seconds

Es un tatuaje, bueno, está en español, me lo hice cuando tenía como 16, 17 años. dice, “Seguir cuando crees que no

9:39

9 minutes, 39 seconds

puedes más es lo que te hace diferente a los demás.” Eh, muchos piensan que me lo hizo en Rocky, pero después de hacerme el

9:47

9 minutes, 47 seconds

tatuaje me enteré que en Rocky estaba pasando esa frase, así que esa frase una vez un coach me lo dijo y me quedó bien grabado y nada y por eso me lo hice.

9:59

9 minutes, 59 seconds

This is a tattoo that I got when I was 16 years old. Um, is very important to me that says uh to keep going when you

10:09

10 minutes, 9 seconds

when you think you can’t. It’s what make you different. It makes you different and that other people from other people

10:16

10 minutes, 16 seconds

are. And in um it’s obviously all in Spanish is something that I heard that was related to Rocky but I did it before

10:25

10 minutes, 25 seconds

Rocky. I did no idea. I had no idea. And then afterwards I saw that it was in the movie. So, I did it way before that.

First Round Finishes,, YT – well Ben your last few victories have been Vice sub misser but tonight it was a knockout run us through from your perspective how it all

0:07

7 seconds

unfolded well I guess the biggest thing was I was I wouldn’t say surprised but

0:14

14 seconds

um yeah I I surprises the word I I didn’t think he was going to be that Keen to scrap you know I don’t know I

0:21

21 seconds

just thought he might be trying to get a tactical thing going but in hindsight want to think about is like I’m just so much taller his probably only hope is to really suck me in you know but I thought

0:29

29 seconds

he’d be trying shoot more and that sort of thing he was just he seemed to be happy to just throw down in the pocket you know so um yeah no I’m look I’m I’m

0:37

37 seconds

happy I got away clean no no you know I think I wore one shot kind of and then he missed a few other big ones I really saw him just like whoosh pie and I

0:46

46 seconds

thought oh you know I can’t I can’t wear one of them so yeah I’m pretty happy I got him out of there in the first round before he got me with something stupid you know yeah and at the start when he

0:53

53 seconds

was trying to egg you on and provoke you what was you thinking look the The Fighter in you

1:00

1 minute

just it wants to it wants to go all right you want to do it but then you know I Dan in the corner just going n don’t let him suck in and he’s right

1:09

1 minute, 9 seconds

because that was his biggest chance you know if I just be patient and wait for the right shot it’s you know I’m going to put him away if I stand there and you

1:16

1 minute, 16 seconds

know have a pissing contest for lack of a better term um yeah he’s got a chance so no I’m uh I’m I’m I’m glad I’m out of

1:23

1 minute, 23 seconds

year on scath yeah um and because your opponent is Korean it was harder to find information about him prior to the fight so almost went in you know blank I guess

1:32

1 minute, 32 seconds

how much does that change things um it in a way it doesn’t give you something to think about at night before you go to

1:39

1 minute, 39 seconds

bed do you know what I mean like when you when it’s the unknown it’s like all right well it’s just it is going to be what it’ll be I’ll think about my strategy and what I want to do and how I

1:47

1 minute, 47 seconds

want to perform um when you got somethingone to think about sometimes you can it’s almost like you’re thinking about what you don’t want to happen rather than what you do want to happen

1:56

1 minute, 56 seconds

so in a way it’s like it’s a lot easier you know and I guess that’s that’s when you really think about like the amateur boxing is such a good good way because that’s all that they just come in like

2:04

2 minutes, 4 seconds

rock up waiting on the day who’s there and you know there’s no pressure and then when you got 8 weeks to think about someone you know that’s when the that’s when the pressure builds up soon away it

2:12

2 minutes, 12 seconds

was it was quite freeing you know the mystery is good yeah yeah yeah that’s right I wouldn’t call it mystery I guess

2:19

2 minutes, 19 seconds

it is but um yeah I definitely uh I almost prefer it this way yeah I really do so what’s next for you after tonight

2:29

2 minutes, 29 seconds

I mean I just have to see what happens like I know um Brogan my teammate at ckb is fighting for the title uh and you

2:36

2 minutes, 36 seconds

know I hope he wins so whatever happens off the back of that we’ll just see see what happens there and you know obviously the the dream is UFC um so if

2:44

2 minutes, 44 seconds

the body can handle it and I’m you know and I’m winning fights and it’s all going well I’ll just keep Hing for that and see if we can get there and just finally you were easily one of the most

2:52

2 minutes, 52 seconds

popular with the crowd tonight easily you know one of the loudest cheers as you walked out how much does that play into things yeah I mean it yeah it couldn’t

3:01

3 minutes, 1 second

help it smile you know it’s like just as it come out I wasn’t planning I never have a plan of how I’m going to stand or what I’m going to do with my you know

3:09

3 minutes, 9 seconds

how I’m going to be I don’t think about that and you know just just couldn’t help it smile when I I seen everyone and you know heard a song is yeah it was

3:17

3 minutes, 17 seconds

cool I I honestly was sitting there thinking like this is what I live for you know this moment right here with the the

3:25

3 minutes, 25 seconds

crowd and I’m just doing what I love it’s so that’s that’s what it’s all about, Ben Johnston joins Australian MMA to talk through one of the most remarkable stories in Australian MMA this year. After retiring, vacating his Eternal MMA title and shifting fully into coaching, Ben now finds himself heading to UFC Perth with the opportunity he always chased. In this interview, Ben opens up on how the call came together, the bittersweet circumstances around Darcy Vendy, the challenge of going from coach back to fighter, and why this moment hits differently now that life outside the cage has changed so much. From marriage and a baby on the way to a shock UFC call-up, this is a must-watch conversation with one of the most respected figures in Australian MMA. ,,,,

Ryan the Third Street Savage. Man, what an excellent bout you had here at KC62.

0:09

9 seconds

What can you tell me about your showing tonight?

0:11

11 seconds

Not much. I went in there, whooped some ass, left with a little bag of cash.

0:15

15 seconds

That’s about it. Face still crispy. I haven’t seen myself yet, but still clean. Threw down two rounds, left with

0:23

23 seconds

a TKO. I try to get the clean KO, but you know, sometimes a killer instinct kick. You guys are going back and forth.

0:30

30 seconds

It looked very close there for a moment, but you were able to uh continue steaming forward and dominate. Uh when you had your opponent up against the uh

0:38

38 seconds

the pits wall. Uh was that something that you were looking to take advantage of? It looked like you were ready to punt him, but it didn’t look like you you pulled the trigger on that.

0:45

45 seconds

Yeah. I don’t know. Sometimes like when they’re on the pit wall and I try to, you know, get my clean shot, he kept wrestling wrestling back up and it gets too tight to, you know, land a clean

0:54

54 seconds

shot. I [ __ ] up my elbow. They said I elbowed him one time in the back of the head. I don’t know. I ain’t checked the film yet, but you know, sometimes the

1:02

1 minute, 2 seconds

technique goes out the window. You’re just trying to hit some [ __ ] Well, uh, it definitely showed your performance. Did you get influenced by any chance by all the star power coming

1:11

1 minute, 11 seconds

in tonight? You have, uh, you know, Uriah Hall on the main card along with Sam Alvie. You have uh, you Alex Para

1:18

1 minute, 18 seconds

right there, ringside. Were was any of this stimulating you to perform better for this fight?

1:24

1 minute, 24 seconds

Uh, not really. Really. The only people I’m worried about watching my fights is really Mick

1:33

1 minute, 33 seconds

Maynard, Sean Shelby, you know, Hunter Campbell.

1:37

1 minute, 37 seconds

Really, I’m trying to get to the UFC and I know they want knockouts. I know they want highlights. Yo, I’m trying to do what I got to do to to make myself

1:44

1 minute, 44 seconds

undeniable. I’m in MMA 9 and two, Karate Combat 2 and 0, two knockouts, Gamebre 1 and0, and Bare Knock.

1:53

1 minute, 53 seconds

Game bread was also ringside watching.

1:55

1 minute, 55 seconds

So, like I’m I’m trying to I’m trying to do my best. I’m doing what I could do to to get there and and I’m I just got to keep putting these [ __ ] down.

2:03

2 minutes, 3 seconds

Well, you made it out, you know, unscathed. And I think that you’re having a great uh career ahead of you. Your performance was dominant tonight.

2:09

2 minutes, 9 seconds

What are what is it that you’re looking to see on the next uh fight up up ahead for yourself?

2:15

Either short notice contender or any anything karate combat, anything MMA, I’m about whatever. eating dirty boxing.

2:24

2 minutes, 24 seconds

I’m down for whatever. Let’s do it. I I just want to fight. I just love fighting.

2:29

2 minutes, 29 seconds

Uh one of your uh peers here in Karate Combat, Robalis, he was able to go ahead and get accepted into the UFC. Does that influence your uh your faith with the company over here with Karate Combat?

2:40

2 minutes, 40 seconds

Does that give you a place that you feel like you’re able to grow from?

2:43

2 minutes, 43 seconds

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know there’s there’s a few fighters that got signed straight from KC to the UFC. You know, Casey’s a great platform.

2:52

2 minutes, 52 seconds

Um, and you know, I got a big grappling base and I love I love striking, but I love I love MMA. Also,

2:59

2 minutes, 59 seconds

the performance for tonight was mostly uh striking because of the uh rule set here in Karate Combat. Do you feel that you’d be able to do a BJJ bout that they do here in the preliminary rounds?

3:11

3 minutes, 11 seconds

Nah, I’m going be real. If I’m competing, bro, I got to punch somebody.

3:14

Yes, sir. I mean, I’ll be honest with you. I tried to take him down and I didn’t have it. I ain’t going to make no excuse, but heck of a fight, man. I

0:13

could have got him out of there early, but I think the first fight of the night, Prince, he said it best, man. You got to look for people to test your sword. And I don’t never pull mines out.

0:43

43 seconds

Uh, I got to listen to Deer cuz Deer was calling it the whole fight. I just got to listen, man. I’m stubborn. My My mom would tell me I’m I’m hard-headed. I got to get past that.

Now, you told me before the fight you might be going to light heavyweight. Is that still the plan? What are you thinking?

2:092 minutes, 9 secondsMMA and uh you know now very few people are fortunate to be in the UFC. Now you’re in the UFC, but what got your journey started?

2:172 minutes, 17 secondsYeah, man. It’s a weird one. Like I I I didn’t I wasn’t planning on going to the UFC. I was I was really originally planning on going to college to play

2:242 minutes, 24 secondsball. I was going to do that whole thing, get a degree and, you know, just go uh work a regular job. But um man, college didn’t end up working out.

2:332 minutes, 33 secondsmy scholarships ended up falling through last minute right as I was signing. So um uh I ended up going to uh the Jo down

2:412 minutes, 41 secondsthere in Sidelia and um I went for a semester, bro. And it just wasn’t my thing. I got started, dude. I was I was

2:502 minutes, 50 secondsalready wrestling, bro. I’ve been wrestling my whole life and I had been kind of kickboxing on the side. So I would do like I’d play a football game on Friday night and then I’d have a

2:572 minutes, 57 secondskickboxing match Saturday and I was just kind of, you know, I was just doing the kickboxing stuff for fun. But um I always loved like striking and competing

3:063 minutes, 6 secondsand and you always been a combat sport.

3:093 minutes, 9 secondsYeah, bro. Yeah, it was just it was always something I was into. Um but whenever college didn’t work out, I was just kind of I was just kind of lost,

3:173 minutes, 17 secondsbro. I was just working a regular job, you know, doing doing what everybody does after uh high school gets over.

3:243 minutes, 24 secondsIt’s like you’re just kind of soulsearching, right? Right.

3:273 minutes, 27 secondsSo whenever I turn 18, um I’m like, dude, I’m going to get in the cage and see what it’s about, you know? And uh I

3:343 minutes, 34 secondstook my first fight up here in Kansas City and I had a really good showing and then um you know, these I I I just kept

3:423 minutes, 42 secondsracking off wins against these guys up here in the city.

3:453 minutes, 45 secondsI ended up going like 4 and0 on these guys. And um I got a phone call one day from James Krauss and um that’s he’s a

3:533 minutes, 53 secondsbig wig up here in the city and he’s like, “Hey bro, like you got some real potential. Like you should come up here to the city and check it out. See how you like it.”

4:014 minutes, 1 secondAnd I was just training in a garage in Sidelia, bro. Like I was just you straight thugging it, bro. Training in a garage with with with dude who’s like I’m I’m training with

4:104 minutes, 10 secondslike um Darien Weeks, Jacob Weeks, Zer Goas and stuff. Those are like the names in Sidelia. And these guys just been beating me up since I’m a kid.

4:194 minutes, 19 secondsY but um I’m I came up here and started training and I’m like all right this a different world up here. Like they got real structure, they got systems behind

4:274 minutes, 27 secondsit and uh that to get adapted to that was kind of changed. People just willy-nilly going like whatever to now.

4:344 minutes, 34 secondsI was trying to I was trying to do it the right way, bro. I I had once I started I was like, you know, I got I got a real potential. I think I can do this. Yeah,

4:424 minutes, 42 secondswhere I was at, there wasn’t really enough structure for um you know what I was like, yeah, there I just didn’t have the structure to back like what I

4:504 minutes, 50 secondswanted. So, it was like I I need to make a move, right? So, I remember telling my old lady, I’m like, “Hey, I think I’m going to move up to Kansas City full-time and do the

4:594 minutes, 59 secondsfight thing.” And she was like, um, she was not feeling it, bro. Like, she was not really trying. She was not trying to come up to the city cuz, you know,

5:065 minutes, 6 secondsSidelia is all we’ve known. It’s all we’ve known, bro.

5:105 minutes, 10 secondsmoving to the moving to the city is kind of a big step. So, but I it was one of them situations. It was like, “Okay, well, look, this is what I’m going to do.”

5:185 minutes, 18 secondsAnd um you know, I’m going to take a chance on myself and so I I moved up and um my lady stayed in Sadel. She was working a job at the time

5:265 minutes, 26 secondsand bro, God bless her heart, she was taking care of me, bro. She’s she uh she was paying all the bills and stuff. I was and I’m I’m like a 19-year-old kid

5:365 minutes, 36 secondslike I’m I’m going to go be a UFC fighter. Yeah, I’m not paying no bills, bro. She taking care of me. She holding me down and stuff. So, shout out to Shout out to the lady. She

5:445 minutes, 44 secondsmy wife now. So, yeah, man. Yeah. So, um without her, I wouldn’t be here, bro.

5:485 minutes, 48 secondsBut, um dude, I did that for a year, two years, and uh I started to really like get some traction. I start I’m picking up win

5:555 minutes, 55 secondsafter win. Um I’m starting to kind of build a name for myself. I’m getting a grasp on the game, right?

6:006 minutesSo, she moved up and you know, we’ve been full steam ahead since I went pro at 20 years old. I went 11-11 as an amateur. I was number one in the nation

6:096 minutes, 9 secondsat one point in time as an amateur at 155.

6:126 minutes, 12 secondsAnd uh yeah, man, I just been hitting it hard ever since. And you know, once I went pro, it was like, “All right, we’re going to do the UFC thing.” And it was

6:206 minutes, 20 secondsnever no doubt in my mind that I was going to make it to the UFC. So, you know, here we are now. And you just you just said mind. So, what’s the mindset of that? Like, talk about a

6:286 minutes, 28 secondslittle tell the guys who, you know, aspiring to be, you know, fighters or who are really into the fight game your mindset. tough,

6:366 minutes, 36 secondsyou know, it’s tough. I’m, you know, still struggle with it now. Like, it’s it’s it’s a tough game to like you got to have a lot of self-belief,

6:446 minutes, 44 secondsbro. And it’s like, um, I was never the most self-confident guy. Like, I I was always I’m I’m the nobody’s going to say anything to me

6:526 minutes, 52 secondsthat I haven’t already said to myself 10,000 times, bro. So, it’s like, you know, just working through the mental hurdles of um being in a solo

7:017 minutes, 1 secondsport like this. Like, all you got is you. If you don’t believe in you, then who else is going to believe in you? You know what I’m saying? So,

7:097 minutes, 9 secondsI’m to the point now where I got a real authentic confidence, bro. Like, I’m I used to fake it a lot. Like, I’m like I like I’m faking like I’m the boy, but

7:167 minutes, 16 secondsnow it’s like I I know and believe. I wake up every day. I And like my work speaks for itself. Like, I’m not just like thinking this out of

7:257 minutes, 25 secondsbeing a delusional individual. Like, it comes from the work that I’ve put in here in the gym. Um, you know, a lot of

7:337 minutes, 33 secondsit goes unseen and it’s like it’s a gift that you have to give yourself. So, you know, and I’m I’m completely bought into the game, bro. I’ve put all my eggs

7:417 minutes, 41 secondsin this one basket and um, you know, it’s going to work out for me.

7:457 minutes, 45 secondsYeah. When you had that kind of mentality, there is no backup plan. This is what it is. That’s right, bro.

7:487 minutes, 48 secondsWhat is tell tell the viewers a typical day? What does a typical day of UFC fighter look like training wise? Man, I’m right now I’m in I’m pretty deep

7:567 minutes, 56 secondsinto camp right now, but um um inside of camp it’s like every day, twice a day, no matter what, you know, like um

8:358 minutes, 35 secondsLike, dude, it’s it’s non-stop. I’m constantly at this. So, it’s the grind.

8:398 minutes, 39 secondsYeah. But I mean Yeah. But I mean, you got to be smart, too, you know, cuz uh overtraining is a real thing.

8:458 minutes, 45 secondsEspecially whenever you’re like on a in a calorie deficit the way I am. You’re water loading like um even me taking to carrier weights. Got to scale it back.

8:548 minutes, 54 secondsYeah. Right. Phases.

8:558 minutes, 55 secondsAnd honestly, working with you is something new that we’ve added since I got got to the higher level. I’m like, I really need to start taking my strength

9:029 minutes, 2 secondsand conditioning more serious. And um you know, shout out to Jay H. My man my man. Yeah. he’s the one who linked us up

9:419 minutes, 41 secondsyou know um just evolve you know I mean you can’t stay stagnant. Yeah man.

9:459 minutes, 45 secondsWhat is what is I ask a lot of people when they come on the on the podcast but what uh what is your why? Everyone has a why. So what is your why?

9:539 minutes, 53 secondsUm that’s a tough question man. What’s my why? I think for a while it was um

10:0110 minutes, 1 secondjust trying to find selfworth almost like people respect uh somebody who does uh hard things like making it to the league playing playing at a high level.

10:1210 minutes, 12 secondsUm so for me it was like and I’m [clears throat] not saying that it’s a that that’s the right way to approach it but for a while there

10:2010 minutes, 20 secondsmy why was like just trying to like have a sense of selfworth. You know what I’m saying? And that’s kind of it’s kind

10:2710 minutes, 27 secondsof a weird place to be in. But no, it’s just it’s real.

10:3110 minutes, 31 secondsThat’s the truth, bro. That’s really what the truth is. Like just trying to find a sense of purpose, bro. And trying to feel good about myself in this life.

10:3710 minutes, 37 secondsAnd um but recently things are changing, man. Like I got a wife and uh we got one on the way, man. I got a baby coming now. So So it’s not even it’s not even

10:4510 minutes, 45 secondsjust me no more, bro. I’m not doing this for me no more. Like like I said earlier, I’m walking with a real uh sense of self-confidence. You know what I’m saying? I’m I’m confident in the man

10:5410 minutes, 54 secondsI am and I’m confident in the man I’m becoming. And uh bro, I got a kid on the way now. I got a wife I got to take care of. So it’s not about me no more. It’s about my family.

11:0411 minutes, 4 secondsYou know what I mean? And um when you got a purpose like that. Yeah. Now the fight game is totally different.

11:0811 minutes, 8 secondsYou know what I’m saying? It’s not even totally different. It’s all the same, bro. It’s it’s it’s illusionary. You know, it doesn’t change anything. But cuz I’m I’m working hard regardless if I

11:1711 minutes, 17 secondshave one on the way anyway or not. But there’s no shortage of um uh I’m not struggling to get to the gym anymore.

11:2611 minutes, 26 secondsYou know what I’m saying? I’m waking up in the morning like, “Yo, this isn’t just me no more. I got I got one on the way. I got a wife I got to take care of.” So, there’s no shortage of uh motivation to

11:3511 minutes, 35 secondsget to the gym nowadays. So, that that’s my my why is my future baby coming, bro. Yes, sir. Brother, congrats on that. Yeah, I appreciate you, bro.

11:4211 minutes, 42 secondsWhat’s uh some goals you have right now, man? Right now, I’m just trying to earn another contract. I’m on a This is my

11:5011 minutes, 50 secondslast fight on my deal. Um, they keep put they put me in arenas. They love my style, bro. Like, they they keep throwing me in these arenas. They’re

11:5711 minutes, 57 secondsgiving me banger matchups. They I’ve talked to the UFC brass behind the scenes and they love what I got going on right now. So, my next goal is to get a new contract,

12:0612 minutes, 6 secondsman. Um, get some more money in my pocket. You know what I’m saying? I want to end up getting a house up here and, you know, just like putting putting down real roots, you know what I mean? So,

12:1512 minutes, 15 secondsuh, I don’t think too far into the future, bro. I’m taking it I’m taking it one fight at a time. One fight camp at a

12:2212 minutes, 22 secondstime, one session at a time, and and I’m leaving everything I have of myself inside those sessions. And so, I’m live,

12:2912 minutes, 29 secondsbro. I’m living 3 hours at a time at this point. I I wake up, I train, when’s the next meal,

12:4912 minutes, 49 secondsUm, I ask everybody before they leave to leave some um encouraging words and positive um words of encouragement to

12:5912 minutes, 59 secondsthe viewers or people who are aspiring to one day hope to have the dream to uh fight, compete in the UFC, which is the

13:0613 minutes, 6 secondstop of the top. um any any advice or any, you know, recommendations, you know, uh that you can leave our viewers with?

13:1713 minutes, 17 secondsLook, bro, um where I come from, [ __ ] like this doesn’t happen to people. I’m

13:2413 minutes, 24 secondsI’m I’m one of one coming from a small town.

13:2813 minutes, 28 secondsI made it to this level. I’m winning at this level.

13:3213 minutes, 32 secondsI was never I was not born with innate talent. Like I was not born with no crazy athletic ability.

13:3913 minutes, 39 secondsYeah.

13:4013 minutes, 40 secondsBut my strong suit is my heart, bro. And like it’s like and it’s like bro, you have to believe in yourself. And

13:4813 minutes, 48 secondsif you believe in yourself, that’s all you need. Like and like show up every day. Leave like leave all of yourself.

13:5513 minutes, 55 secondsIf you’re going to do something, do it 100%. Leave every bit of yourself into it. And it’s like for guys, I really honestly believe like it’s just going to

14:0414 minutes, 4 secondshappen. Like if you listen to the highest level athletes, they all say the same thing. It’s hard work, dedication, non-stop, blah blah blah. It’s the same.

14:1314 minutes, 13 secondsIt’s the same thing. The the formula is laid out. Yeah.

14:1614 minutes, 16 secondsHow bad do you want it? Are you willing to work for it? Are you willing to suffer for it? Are you how long can you suffer? H like are you can you can you

14:2414 minutes, 24 secondstake the lumps and keep moving? And it’s like that’s a testament to like who I am and how I’ve got to this level. It’s

14:3114 minutes, 31 secondslike I’ve been losing my whole life, bro. Like I I’m seen as this winner. I’m seen as this UFC guy. I made it to this level,

14:3814 minutes, 38 secondsbut bro, I’ve been I’ve been losing my whole life. I I was always like the smallest guy on the team. Like I don’t

14:4714 minutes, 47 secondsknow, bro. It a lot of losses are are turning into wins now at this level. So, you know what I’m saying? just keep

14:5514 minutes, 55 secondspushing like keep your head on straight and you know keep the task at hand like keep keep what’s what what and prioritize that you know what I mean so

15:0415 minutes, 4 secondsif I had to give any advice to anybody chasing any kind of goal or any kind of dream is to believe in yourself and to

15:1115 minutes, 11 secondsjust you know like keep keep your head down and grind you know what I mean just stay in it stay in it no matter

15:1915 minutes, 19 secondshow how much suffering you have to go through like just stay in it cuz a lot of people fold underneath the pressure

0:1515 secondsuh you you actually in your last performance you defeated a very very good fighter overall who is a bilateral

0:2222 secondsveteran so if you can tell me what do you think about this performance and what do you think should be next for you

0:3030 secondsuh yeah man I think I think uh we game plan really well for that fight uh Manny Morrow’s a tough bet of the game

0:3838 secondsbellatory vet fought a lot of tough guys um so I felt like it was a good next step we went in there we executed the game

0:4545 secondsplan perfect uh Wrestled a little more and then uh found the finishing shot with the right hand so overall I said I

0:5353 secondssaid it uh went really well as far as what’s for next um who knows we could be fighting in the Big Show um

1:011 minute, 1 secondkind of waiting to hear from my management on everything right now so it’s kind of a toss-up if we do fight uh

1:081 minute, 8 secondsoutside of the uh UFC it’ll probably be like one more and then we’ll sign the contract I’m not in a big rush you know I’m still

1:161 minute, 16 secondsyoung so by the time we get there we’ll be ready yes and actually your two last opponents

1:231 minute, 23 secondsuh were like lateral fighter because also a Bobby Lee uh fought for the Bellator and Manny Moro who was like

1:311 minute, 31 secondsforeign one in in organization and you beat him so it’s like it’s like the probably your place should be in one of the these bigger organizations

1:401 minute, 40 secondsabsolutely bro yeah Bobby Lee was a big uh eye-opener for me a big test um

1:461 minute, 46 secondsyeah we’ll get that one back and before your last fight did you feel

1:531 minute, 53 secondssome additional stress because you coming from the your first loss or or was it like uh like another fight for

2:022 minutes, 2 secondsyou no it was it was really no stress at all um it was kind of weird in the back how just that piece I was with everything I

2:102 minutes, 10 secondsdidn’t really care about winning or losing it was just like like I’m just gonna go in here and fight make it like the gym don’t make it something it’s not you know what I’m

2:182 minutes, 18 secondssaying I went in there super calm took all the energy in and I was super present that whole fight you know I was Implement my game plan I was thinking I

2:272 minutes, 27 secondswas reacting so yeah I think the preparation for the fight really helps with the emotions that you have in the back you know what I’m saying

2:352 minutes, 35 secondsand if you have a one more fight in the promotion is there a chance that it will be for the lightweight title

2:432 minutes, 43 secondsmaybe maybe not I don’t know we’ll see what’s up I’m just kind of taking it one day at a time I’m in the middle of transitioning right now kind of

2:512 minutes, 51 secondswe’re about to move States so we’re moving out of Missouri we’re going to go to Colorado the factory X and uh try to settle down there just be at a bigger

3:003 minutesgym with better bodies and a system you know what I mean Kansas City MMA is kind of it’s not what it used to be after the whole situation happened and I feel like

3:083 minutes, 8 secondsI’m starting to kind of outgrow the gym I’m at right now and I’m ready to I’m ready to see some new bodies and a

3:173 minutes, 17 secondsbigger environment you know what I mean so be changes it will happen in next few months big changes man yeah my lease is

3:253 minutes, 25 secondsup on October 3rd so we’re creeping up on it we’re less than a month away from having to make the move and we’re just looking for

3:333 minutes, 33 secondsapartments and stuff now so it’s kind of a stressful time I’m not really thinking too much about fighting I’m thinking more like along the lines of like life

3:413 minutes, 41 secondsand life problems and just trying to get my life situated to where I can like start putting together another

3:483 minutes, 48 secondsgood camp for another fright you know what I’m saying and if you if you can talk a little bit about your Beginnings in the sport uh

3:573 minutes, 57 secondswas it the MMA that the first combat sport that you ever trained or you started with with another discipline so I started wrestling whenever I was

4:054 minutes, 5 secondsreally young um I was wrestling like whenever I was 13 14 13 ish somewhere in there but I’ve

4:144 minutes, 14 secondsbeen wrestling for a long time um I was originally a football player like I really liked football and I thought

4:224 minutes, 22 secondsfootball was going to be what I did with my you know with my life and uh that didn’t really work out so I’d been wrestling since I was young I started

4:304 minutes, 30 secondskickboxing when I was 16 years old when College didn’t work out the way I wanted it to work I kind of

4:374 minutes, 37 secondsgotten a limbo where I was kind of stuck not really growing or doing anything and so I figured I’d take the wrestling skills that I had and then the

4:454 minutes, 45 secondskickboxing skills that I had and messed the two together and start doing MMA so where I’m at you

4:524 minutes, 52 secondscan’t fight MMA until you’re 18. and so the week after I turned 18 I had my first MMA fight I was just doing

4:594 minutes, 59 secondskickboxing matches and Jiu Jitsu tournaments up until then and then right as soon as I was able to do MMA I just

5:075 minutes, 7 secondsjumped into it you know and according to topology you have a like one kickboxing fight and where it

5:155 minutes, 15 secondslike more of this kind of fights in kickboxing or is it one of I think I have maybe one professional

5:235 minutes, 23 secondskickboxing that happened and that might be on my record but I had a I had a few amateur fights that I did in the in the

5:305 minutes, 30 secondscage just to you know get used to what it feels like walking into the cage I didn’t know I had kind of always planned like MMA was going to be something that

5:385 minutes, 38 secondsI tried to do you know what I’m saying but I didn’t know if it was gonna stick but as soon as I won my first MMA fight it was just it took me over that was

5:475 minutes, 47 secondswhat I was doing 100 you know and you are actually much more experienced than than at first look because you are not just a six and one

5:565 minutes, 56 secondsguy but you also like have like eight amateur bouts in MMA according to yeah so it’s not that you just started the

6:046 minutes, 4 secondsthe the the this like learning with the sport yeah I’m a young I’m a young I’m a young guy but

6:126 minutes, 12 secondsum I feel like a veteran of the game you know what I mean I feel like I’ve experienced what it is the fight I know what a what a fight Camp is supposed to

6:206 minutes, 20 secondsfeel like I know I’m starting to navigate my brain a little better and deal with the emotions and yeah I’m just getting more pieces of the puzzle on the

6:286 minutes, 28 secondsboard and I’m just starting to everything’s starting to click you know I’m feeling like I’m I’m real close to being ready to take

6:356 minutes, 35 secondsthat next step whether it’s the next fight or the fight after that it’s it’s one or two away you know so I’m I’m just getting everything where I get my body

6:446 minutes, 44 secondsright get my mind ready so I’m ready for whatever’s coming my way and then and do you have a like a favorite part

6:526 minutes, 52 secondsof the training right now because you came from wrestling and is it that wrestling that the favorite part of of the training right now or you prefer to

7:007 minutesto do like Jiu-Jitsu or like strike I really I really love the game of mixed martial arts there’s not a part of MMA

7:087 minutes, 8 secondsthat I don’t love um my favorite the most fun to me the thing that comes most natural is probably kickboxing just because

7:187 minutes, 18 secondsum I feel like I have you know um like a talent for that I feel like it kind of comes naturally to me wrestling

7:257 minutes, 25 secondsalways sucks I hate wrestling but it’s a big part of the game and you know it’s it’s hard on the body it’s hard on the gas tank

7:337 minutes, 33 secondsum after this last fight with Manny Morrow I’ve really been locking in on my submission offense I feel like my submission defense has really grown a

7:427 minutes, 42 secondslot my wrestling’s already there um but being able to threaten submissions offensively I feel like is something that I I’m lacking in and so

7:517 minutes, 51 secondsafter this fight that’s kind of where I’ve been uh putting most of my brain work in and you know most of the gym work has been on just like trying to

7:597 minutes, 59 secondsorganize a system for my uh submission game and I’m trying to so recently it’s been a lot of Jiu Jitsu to be honest

8:068 minutes, 6 secondsso in next fights it will be like career naked then Guillotine and maybe maybe omo Plata hey maybe if they if they if

8:148 minutes, 14 secondsthey want it that way they can get it that way the plan is always to put these guys to sleep you know I feel like Knockouts really sell

8:218 minutes, 21 secondsum if I can keep knocking these guys out the UFC is going to be more attracted to me my highlight reel is going to come together better

8:298 minutes, 29 secondsthe more eyes are going to come to me people love to see people get knocked out and um I have legit one punch power so

8:378 minutes, 37 secondsum whenever I whenever I got the confidence behind my right hand and my my skills on my feet like that’s when everybody started to fall So

8:458 minutes, 45 secondsthe plan is always to knock these guys out I’m not I’m not looking to submit these guys I’m looking to put put this right hand on their chin you know

8:538 minutes, 53 secondsand you already have like a few few good Knockouts in in this uh six fights so

8:598 minutes, 59 secondsit’s like good to good uh it was good to see or striking like with David Evans especially it was a beautiful knockout

9:089 minutes, 8 secondsand uh and you already in the six fights have like two very good names in in David Evans and manemuro so it’s like

9:169 minutes, 16 secondsit’s like yeah it’s also not the the six fights with with like no names or journeyments but but also with the good

9:249 minutes, 24 secondsFighters yeah that was always a big uh a big thing for me A lot of times I look at these guys as records and then um you

9:329 minutes, 32 secondssee they haven’t found anybody they haven’t fought anybody with Good Records or so the fight uh like taking the right fight was always pretty important to me

9:419 minutes, 41 secondsand my team and uh after I lost that fight to Bobby Lee they offered me an easier fight they offered me like like

9:489 minutes, 48 secondsan easy guy not an easy guy but like an easier guy a guy that I was pretty confident I would be and I was like man I don’t want that like I don’t want to

9:569 minutes, 56 secondslose a fight and then come back and beat up some tomato can like I’m looking to fight good guys and uh because for me

10:0410 minutes, 4 secondsthat’s what helps my brain it’s what gives me confidence if I beat up a guy up that I know I’m supposed to beat I don’t feel good about that but if I beat

10:1210 minutes, 12 secondsa guy up that I’m a little bit scared of and I know he has a good record and he’s fought good guys then that that win means a little bit more to me and it

10:2010 minutes, 20 secondsdoes a little bit more for my confidence up top you know and for now who do you think would be like the the

10:2810 minutes, 28 secondstoughest stylistically metal for you some good Grappler who who can submit you from from his back or or some other

10:3510 minutes, 35 secondstype of the of the opponent um as far as Styles go man uh I’m pretty

10:4310 minutes, 43 secondswell-rounded uh I can strike with anybody I can wrestle with anybody and uh I’m I’m getting the confidence in my

10:5010 minutes, 50 secondsJiu Jitsu game I feel like uh stylistically a tough fight for me right now would probably be uh

10:5810 minutes, 58 secondslike a big pressure fighter like a guy that wants to put me on my back foot and try to get in my face and make it ugly um somebody who’s really good at putting

11:0611 minutes, 6 secondsthe pressure on and and uh is also well-rounded and can threaten the takedown I feel like the best the toughest matchup for me is

11:1511 minutes, 15 secondsgoing to be a guy that can kind of makes everything together really well so if he can mix the Striking and the takedowns together really well that might give me

11:2211 minutes, 22 secondsa bit of a problem but um I’m conscious of that you know what I’m saying I know my style I know what kind of style I I do well against I know what kind of

11:3111 minutes, 31 secondsstyle will have the upper hand on me and I know how to negate these things I can make changes on the fly I can uh I can make changes in the fight you know what

11:3911 minutes, 39 secondsI’m saying training preparation I can prepare for any one style so I really feel like I got all the all the boxes checked man if I’m fighting a jiu jitsu

11:4611 minutes, 46 secondsguy I know how to train for him if I’m fighting a striker I know how to train for him if I’m fighting a guy that’s really well-rounded like

11:5411 minutes, 54 secondsit’s just like I’m I’m confident everywhere on the in the game so whatever whatever these guys want to do man I’ll be ready for it

12:0212 minutes, 2 secondsand let’s say in next 12 months from September to September next year how

12:1012 minutes, 10 secondsmany fights would you like to to have in this time I’m usually a four or five a year kind of guy three fight a year kind of guy I

12:1712 minutes, 17 secondslike to stay pretty active um I am young though so I just turned 23 and I feel like uh

12:2512 minutes, 25 secondsI’m about to make that next step to the Big Show and by the time I get to the Big Show matchups are going to be important and so uh just accepting the right fight at

12:3312 minutes, 33 secondsthe right time against the right guy is going to be big you know what I’m saying I wanna I wanna I wanna play the game the right way I want to do it the right

12:4112 minutes, 41 secondsway you know I don’t want to be like a meathead fighter but I also don’t want to be like a scared fighter so I’m trying to find like the middle ground I’m not afraid to take fights that are

12:4912 minutes, 49 secondsbad matchups don’t get me wrong but if we can get a better match up earlier on to just get that uh the

12:5712 minutes, 57 secondsexperience in you know what I mean I think that’s always going to be better but whatever the management tells me man they send me a name I tell them yes I tell them no I talk it over with the

13:0613 minutes, 6 secondscoaches and we come together to an agreement like that you know and like you said you are right now

13:1313 minutes, 13 secondsyoung fighter and there is there was a case in UFC Raul Rosas who was signed when he was 18. and let’s say that you

13:2113 minutes, 21 secondswhen you were 18 and let’s say that you had a five fights would you be interested in going to the UFC being such a young fighter or you would you

13:3013 minutes, 30 secondsprefer to to stay on the original scene um me personally no so they um the UFC actually offered me a

13:3813 minutes, 38 secondscontract whenever I knocked out David Evans whenever I was 21.

13:4213 minutes, 42 secondsum I turned the fight I turned the contract down because I felt like I was too young and I could I feel like there was still room to grow and I still

13:5113 minutes, 51 secondsneeded a little bit more experience at the professional level and um you know I I got another knockout after

13:5913 minutes, 59 secondsI fought David Evans and then I fought a really tough guy and Bobby Lee and I learned a lot from that fight like I

14:0614 minutes, 6 secondslost that fight against a vet a Bellator vet a good fighter well-rounded guy big old strong boy he’s he’s he’s a really

14:1514 minutes, 15 secondsgood fighter and uh yeah just fighting him fighting another guy who had all that experience really

14:2214 minutes, 22 secondslike helped level me up like I feel like even though I lost that fight I learned a lot and like I I kind of seen another

14:3014 minutes, 30 secondslevel of the game you know what I’m saying like I felt like I felt a higher level of the game and then implemented that in the next fight I had against

14:3814 minutes, 38 secondsManny Morrow and and it worked great you know yes and UFC contract can be like tempting when you are a young fighter

14:4614 minutes, 46 secondsbut I believe that sometimes it’s better to get this experience not in the UFC because you can lose some fights like

14:5314 minutes, 53 secondsget a knockout and and being like mentally maybe not beat but have some

15:0015 minutesproblems but better to stay on the original scene and like fought the better better like level of the

15:0715 minutes, 7 secondsopposition there yeah absolutely man like whenever you go to the UFC I’ve seen it happen to a lot of like my friends and former teammates they get to

15:1515 minutes, 15 secondsthe UFC they’re doing the UFC a favor they’ll take a tough fight they’ll take a tough match up on short notice they’ll show up they’ll lose and they sign like

15:2415 minutes, 24 secondsa three fight contract they fight again and then like even if they win or lose I’ve seen teammates get cut after fighting two times and they’re like

15:3115 minutes, 31 secondstaking the fight on short notice doing the UFC a favor and it’s just like uh I don’t want to be the guy that signs to

15:3915 minutes, 39 secondsthe UFC runs a couple five and then gets cut like I’ve seen that story and I don’t want to be that guy I want to be

15:4615 minutes, 46 secondsthe guy that gets there gets a couple big knockouts gets a couple extra checks and then I can renegotiate my contracts and I’m looking to climb the ranks I’m

15:5515 minutes, 55 secondsnot going to be one of the best in the world and I think if I want to be the best in the world I can’t only be smart in my heart and like

16:0316 minutes, 3 secondsI can’t be a warrior I have to also be smart in my brain and like I have to like I have to be a thinking man this is a thinking game this is a business and

16:1016 minutes, 10 secondsyou know I just want to play the game the right way you know what I mean and I feel like that means taking a little bit of time the hard part for me is not getting to the UFC I could get to the

16:1816 minutes, 18 secondsUFC I’ve already I’ve had multiple opportunities to get there the hard part about the UFC is getting there and having staying power so by the

16:2616 minutes, 26 secondstime I get signed I just want to know in my heart and in my my soul that like I’m ready to be there and I’m competing with these guys you know

16:3416 minutes, 34 secondsand what is like the main goal for you as far as the MMA would you like to be in there like of course not not the UFC

16:4316 minutes, 43 secondsbut maybe in the top 15 rankings do you like dream of being a champion defending champion so

16:5116 minutes, 51 secondsthat’s a good question man um I kind of been going back and forth in my head about I have a lot of respect for world champions and and you know a lot of

16:5816 minutes, 58 secondspeople run around in the gyms and they throw that term around you’re gonna be a World Champ he’s going to be a World Champ you’re going to be a World Champ

17:0517 minutes, 5 secondsit’s kind of a disrespect to the world champions man that is a hard thing to accomplish and um another kind of work

17:1217 minutes, 12 secondsthat goes behind that and I know and I know how hard it is to get there especially at lightweight being a 55er um

17:2117 minutes, 21 secondsthe big thing I want from fighting from fighting is Financial Freedom I Want to Be Free financially I want to be able to do what I love as a job and you know not

17:2917 minutes, 29 secondshave to stress about like life and like paying bills and like I just want to have enough money to do what I love to do and know that my bills are going to

17:3817 minutes, 38 secondsbe taken care of so for me man as long as the money’s right I don’t care I don’t care the the rankings the contracts the Champions

17:4717 minutes, 47 secondslike it is what it is like the money’s the most important thing to me so yeah man I feel like uh

17:5517 minutes, 55 secondsI definitely want to see a number next to my name before it’s all said and done if I could see a top 15 top 10 I’d be a

18:0218 minutes, 2 secondshappy man but also at the same time I feel like if I could see 15 I could see 10 and if I can see 10 I can see five

18:0918 minutes, 9 secondsand if I can see five I could be the world champion that’s just the way my head works so I’m just gonna take it one fight at a time I’m gonna get there I’m gonna feel

18:1818 minutes, 18 secondsthe competition out and you know we’ll go from there we’re gonna take it one fight at a time and just keep our head where it’s at you know yes and about that the financially free

18:2718 minutes, 27 secondsFinancial Freedom also the performance of the night money will help and then you have this this few few interesting

18:3418 minutes, 34 secondsKnockouts so I think that when you will be there you will get get also money uh from from the performance of the night

18:4118 minutes, 41 secondsyeah 100 man my first fight in the UFC it’ll be a knockout and I’ll get that 50 000 bonus I’ll get all three checks I’ll

18:4818 minutes, 48 secondsget I’ll get the weight check I’ll get the win check and I’ll get the bonus check because I’ve I’ve that’s just what it is every time I fight I plan on trying to

18:5718 minutes, 57 secondsfight for that fifty thousand dollar check I’ll go in there and you know I’ll sacrifice my body to try and get that and if it doesn’t work out man it doesn’t work out but as far as like

19:0419 minutes, 4 secondswhere my brain is every time I’m fighting I’m gonna get that check I’m gonna get that fifty thousand dollar check because I’m gonna show up to fight so

19:1319 minutes, 13 secondsand in the future do you consider going to welterweight division no not well through it no way I’m I’m uh

19:2219 minutes, 22 secondsso I made 45 uh a little bit uh I made 45 like once or twice as a younger guy and um it was a struggle man it was

19:3119 minutes, 31 secondsreally hard to make 45 and uh I’m kind of growing up just turned 23 I’m starting to get a little bit more meat on my bones 55 starting to feel like a

19:4019 minutes, 40 secondsreal weight cut you know um but I feel like as long as I’m disciplined outside the gym and outside

19:4919 minutes, 49 secondsthe fight camp with my diet and I keep my weight low keep the water in me I uh that I should be able to make 55 for the

19:5719 minutes, 57 secondsrest of my career no problem um but we’ll see man you know I’m still growing up I’m still young so I might

20:0520 minutes, 5 secondsend up putting some more weight on but the jump from 55 to 70 is really big it’s not it’s not a 10 pound jump it’s a 15 pound jump so

20:1420 minutes, 14 secondsum yeah I’ll probably try to avoid the welterweight I’ve seen uh one of my teammates Evan Elder he took a short notice fight against uh

20:2120 minutes, 21 secondsuh in the UFC against a 170 pounder and uh Evan Elder’s a big 55er and there was

20:2820 minutes, 28 secondsa significant size difference in between him and his opponent so yeah welterweight scares me I’ll let the I’ll let those guys handle their business up there I’ll keep cutting 55.

20:4020 minutes, 40 secondsand do you have a fighter in the UFC that you like to to watch and maybe like pick some things from from him oh yeah I

20:4820 minutes, 48 secondsgot a lot of guys man I’m doing I’m doing film study all the time um I’m big on Corey sandhagen right now I really like Corey sandhagen I like the

20:5620 minutes, 56 secondsway he operates I think uh I think his style uh is similar to mine and uh

21:0521 minutes, 5 secondsI really like what he’s been doing recently with like mixing in the takedowns and his stand-up is is some of the best stand up in the game right now

21:1321 minutes, 13 secondsand uh I feel like because he’s adding that threat of the takedown that the

21:2021 minutes, 20 secondshands and the ticks and knees and elbows they’re opening up a lot more because these guys are worried about the fit in so I’ve been watching a lot of uh Corey

21:2821 minutes, 28 secondssandhagen I’ve been watching uh you see that 55 I just bought this last

21:3521 minutes, 35 secondsweekend he just uh he just beat up uh on uh Tiago Moises that guy’s good I’ve been watching a little bit of his stuff

21:4421 minutes, 44 secondsum yeah man I’m just a student of the game Jack Delle Elena I’m watching all these guys I know these guys are 170.

21:5021 minutes, 50 secondshe’s but uh yeah I mean I’m I’m studying the game every day so there’s a lot of guys I’m watching

22:0322 minutes, 3 secondsDivision and he lost but now in lightweight he’s like four wins four finishes for Great Performances so it’s

22:1122 minutes, 11 secondslike wetterweight was not class for him but like yeah at least he’s a big lightweight man he’s a big

22:1822 minutes, 18 secondslightweight and he’s a dirty Southpaw I hate southpaws so but yeah he’s he’s got some skill man he’s good

22:2622 minutes, 26 secondsand uh because we are right now you are an MMA fighter for for uh like a few years do

22:3522 minutes, 35 secondsyou have any regrets regarding uh like uh maybe training maybe when you done

22:4222 minutes, 42 secondssome things is there any like think that you regret nah man I don’t I don’t really regret

22:5022 minutes, 50 secondsanything I feel like um I feel like I’ve done the right things in the right order you know um

22:5822 minutes, 58 secondsthe the whole gym situation in Kansas City I didn’t really have any any part to do with that but it was definitely

23:0623 minutes, 6 secondssomething that affected us and I’ve had to go through and it and you know it has impacted my life so if there’s one thing

23:1423 minutes, 14 secondsI had to say I regret I would I would regret just like how my team and my coaches and how just everybody went

23:2223 minutes, 22 secondsabout that whole situation in Kansas City with uh and stuff

24:2024 minutes, 20 secondsfighting in general like I just feel like I started this game so young you know I’m up to my I’m up to my

24:2824 minutes, 28 secondschest and in the water like I’m in the deep end already in the fight game uh I’m a young kid I know that if I didn’t

25:0925 minutes, 9 secondsI’m just trying to stay the course man I I’m already in the deep end there’s no point in getting out of the pool now you know I might as well just run it until I

25:1825 minutes, 18 secondscan’t run no more you feel me it’s like from the defense perspective it’s definitely not reason to to not

25:2525 minutes, 25 secondsfighting when when we can like watch you so it’s yeah definitely we will be there in in like few months or years in this

25:3325 minutes, 33 secondslike the the highest level of the uh like promotional level yeah we’ll get there there’s no doubt in my mind that

25:5025 minutes, 50 secondsgetting my life situation figured out my training situation isn’t the best but within the next uh within the next month or two man I’ll be

25:5925 minutes, 59 secondsat a world-class gym with world-class coaches with world-class training partners with a world-class system

26:0526 minutes, 5 secondsand then uh yeah it’s gonna turn me to a monster and I’m gonna be ready to take over the game yeah and before your fights how do you

26:1526 minutes, 15 secondsdeal with the with this stress um and fight camp or like in the back

26:2326 minutes, 23 secondsbefore I’m about to walk out like there’s no way both both okay so through fight Camp is a lot of uh

26:3126 minutes, 31 secondsuh like I’m playing the fight in my brain I’ll go meditate if I start to get anxious about the

26:3826 minutes, 38 secondsfight it’s like why am I anxious I gotta sit down and have this conversation with myself why am I anxious why am I nervous about to fight oh because he’s gonna do this he’s gonna try to take me down okay

26:4726 minutes, 47 secondswhat are you gonna do when he tries to take you down I’m gonna get up I’m gonna fight the fence I like I know what I need to do it’s just talking myself

26:5526 minutes, 55 secondsthrough it playing the scenario in my head understanding that it’s okay this is the fight game shit’s gonna happen and uh you know you just gotta roll with

27:0327 minutes, 3 secondsthe punches and and so that helps me a lot through Camp whenever I’m preparing I do a lot of film study um I do a lot of self-talk you know I

27:1127 minutes, 11 secondsgot to try to remind myself who I am how young I am how much experience I have how good I am at this game

27:1827 minutes, 18 secondsum and uh yeah that really helps me through fight camp like just checking all the boxes showing up to training when I’m supposed to train eating what

27:2527 minutes, 25 secondsI’m supposed to eat go to sleep when I’m supposed to go to sleep wake up when I’m supposed to wake up it’s the simple things man and then uh

27:3327 minutes, 33 secondswhenever Fight Night Comes whenever I’m in the back and I’m stressed and about to fight I’m about to fight I’m anxious I’m feeling these feelings I’m scared

27:4127 minutes, 41 secondsyou’re supposed to be scared it’s okay just talking myself through it same situation I’m meditating you’re supposed to be scared it’s okay you’re gonna get

27:4827 minutes, 48 secondsin a fight this this these emotions this feeling of like anxiousness I’m scared I don’t want to lose in front of everybody

27:5627 minutes, 56 secondsI know and love I’m going to be humiliated that’s what makes me dangerous that’s what makes this right hand land that’s what that’s what that’s

28:0328 minutes, 3 secondswhat Ko’s people and uh it’s like having a hot fire you know what I’m saying you can’t hold it for too long but you want to control it

28:1128 minutes, 11 secondswhile you can you know what I’m saying you can cook a meal with fire you can burn your house down and I’ve done both you know what I’m saying as an amateur

28:1928 minutes, 19 secondswhenever I fought Ashton Kirby the emotions just completely beat me I completely lost to myself before I walked in walked in of course I lost the

28:2728 minutes, 27 secondsfight as an amateur and uh it was just a big wake-up experience and uh yeah ever since then I feel like I’ve navigated

28:3428 minutes, 34 secondsthe mental side and um you know just dealing with those emotions a lot better and George Saint Pierre always said that

28:4328 minutes, 43 secondsit’s like fear is like a very important thing uh because when when he’s afraid of of some fighter he’s training like

28:5128 minutes, 51 secondsone one 100 percent and he he actually beat everyone and also he mentioned like

28:5828 minutes, 58 secondslike the visualization about the the tough situation like how to escape Amber

29:0529 minutes, 5 secondsor that this kind of thing so I think that also the visual utilization is like very very important yeah it’s huge some guys are good at it

29:1429 minutes, 14 secondssome guys aren’t good at it and I feel like the guys that are good at it automatically have an edge on the guys that aren’t

29:2129 minutes, 21 secondsand outside of fighting what do you like to do in your in your free time um I’m not really doing a whole lot

29:3029 minutes, 30 secondsright now man I mean I play the game every now and then I’m kind of I’m kind of I’m kind of a gamer I keep it simple you know I just trying to come home I

29:3829 minutes, 38 secondsjump on the game a little bit uh I spend a lot of time with my family I feel like that’s important it’s really important to me right now at this stage in my life

0:01

1 second

All right, Gage, uh to start off, just congratulations on the win. How was uh how was that? How you feeling now?

0:06

6 seconds

Yeah, feeling good, man. Tough tough fight. You know, I was uh I was close to getting him out of there once or twice.

0:11

11 seconds

So, a little upset I didn’t get to finish, but you know, that’s a that’s a big win over a veteran of the game. So, you know, I can’t be mad at it.

0:18

18 seconds

And I think you hit the key word there with veteran. I mean, he’s a guy who shared the cage with uh Islam, with BSD, with Darush. So, does that kind of make it all the more sweeter when you do get

0:26

26 seconds

a win over a guy who’s been in there so long? Yeah, for sure, man. I’m Yeah, for sure. It’s just a, you know, a nod to

0:33

33 seconds

all the hard work I’ve done and um yeah, it fires me up, man. I’m gonna I got some win behind my sales now. That’s two

0:40

40 seconds

in a row and uh I’ll be going in there looking for a finish next time, man. I’m like I said, I’m pretty bummed out I didn’t get the finish, but it is what it

0:47

47 seconds

is, man. I’m not going to harp on it too much, but yeah, I’m really hunting that finish, man.

0:52

52 seconds

Absolutely. And uh it was a war. It was highly entertaining. Like you said, two wins in a row, three fights overall in the UFC. you know, is this starting to feel like a routine for you?

1:00

1 minute

Yeah, man. I mean, dude, I felt the best I ever did coming in here. I’m I feel at home with the UFC. You know, I don’t have I never really had no nerves coming

1:09

1 minute, 9 seconds

in, you know? I felt like uh since the Contender Series, I’m like, dude, I I know I belong at this level, you know what I mean? So, um just, you know, it’s

1:18

1 minute, 18 seconds

uh more of the same coming here. It feels like home. I don’t get shaken by the the lights, the cameras, the cage, the you know the environment whenever

1:26

1 minute, 26 seconds

you’re walking out. It’s uh yeah, it feels like home.

1:29

1 minute, 29 seconds

You talk about no nerves. Were there any nerves going to the judges tonight?

1:32

1 minute, 32 seconds

Because we had one fight earlier that was a little questionable and I I would say in this one he might have had the first, you definitely had the third. It was a split.

1:38

1 minute, 38 seconds

Yeah, I mean I thought uh split kind of made me a little worried. I figured he got the first round, you know, just with the control time and, you know, it

1:46

1 minute, 46 seconds

looked good at the end whenever he was like squeezing on me a little bit, you know, so I figured he took the first from me, but I felt good in two and three. I thought I took two and three

1:54

1 minute, 54 seconds

pretty clearly, but uh, you know, it is what it is with this game. Judges have been known to make some weird decisions.

2:00

2 minutes

So, uh, definitely scary, but, uh, I’m glad we came out the right side of it.

2:05

2 minutes, 5 seconds

So, I got to ask about the tweet. I said you I know you said no Kobe Coington, but you did call Winnipeg a dumb. What is it about uh the city or is that just

2:13

2 minutes, 13 seconds

you know trying to play a bit of a heel persona maybe?

2:15

2 minutes, 15 seconds

Nah, not even man really. You know what it was is I was walking around Tuesday uh trying to get a pedicure around this

2:22

2 minutes, 22 seconds

mug and uh I’m we must have pulled up to six seven shops and every shop I went into they were just rude and mean and

2:30

2 minutes, 30 seconds

turned us all down and just was acting like you know we wasn’t even worth the salt we was walking on. And then I’m like man this place. So I so I went

2:39

2 minutes, 39 seconds

to Twitter and I tweeted. I’m like, you know, I don’t I’m not I don’t with Kobe, but I’m like, not to be on some Kobe Coington but Winnipeg is a

2:46

2 minutes, 46 seconds

dump. And uh you know, a lot of the Canadians agree with me. I don’t think I’m think I’m saying anything that, you know, these guys don’t already think

2:54

2 minutes, 54 seconds

themselves. But yeah, once it snowed, honestly, we got here when the snow was gone and the last couple days the snow was coming down and once everything was

3:02

3 minutes, 2 seconds

covered up and it was white, you know, it wasn’t so bad. So, uh, I shout out to Canada. You know, I would love to come back and, you know, check out something

3:11

3 minutes, 11 seconds

else, but, uh, as far as I’m concerned, it’s Winnipeg. [laughter] I have no idea what to make of that particular story. Um, you did a little showboating in there, too, though. I

3:20

3 minutes, 20 seconds

mean, was that just playing up the crowd? Were you just in the moment or No, man. At this level, you know, anything that looks good to the judges is going to look good on the scorecard,

3:28

3 minutes, 28 seconds

you know? We call that optics. And it’s like, you know, I think that’s just a testament to my maturity in the game.

3:34

3 minutes, 34 seconds

You know what I’m saying? Like if I if I can win the optics and make it look good and make it look like I’m dominating, then, you know, that’s going to that’s

3:42

3 minutes, 42 seconds

going to sway people’s opinion and, you know, hopefully sway the judges decision as well. So for all the upand cominging fighters out there, you know, optics is

3:50

3 minutes, 50 seconds

a big part of this game and if you get a chance to play into it, man, play into it, you know.

3:55

3 minutes, 55 seconds

Well, congrats again on the win. Last one for me. I mean, what’s coming next for you? Did you have anything in mind?

4:00

4 minutes

Return date, a name in mind, man, not, you know, not off the top of my head. Uh, they just gave me a 30-day suspension, so I’m going to I’m going to

4:07

4 minutes, 7 seconds

go uh enjoy some downtime with the family. Um, there’s a couple guys coming off of uh some wins that fought a couple

4:15

4 minutes, 15 seconds

weeks ago, like uh Abdul Karim Alawadi’s one. Uh Nicholas Moto would be a really good matchup for me. I just took one

4:23

4 minutes, 23 seconds

Brazilian out. Let’s let’s line up another one. Nicholas Moto would be a good matchup for me. Uh, man, whatever.

4:29

4 minutes, 29 seconds

You know, I’m I’m gonna as soon as I’m feeling better, I’m gonna get back in the gym. And uh my boy Trey Ogden’s got a fight coming up and uh you know, I

4:37

4 minutes, 37 seconds

want to get back in there and give him a good body to work against. So, I’m going to I’m going to try to get in there as soon as possible. And, you know, just uh more of the same, man. Keep my nose on the grindstoneone and keep working.

4:46

4 minutes, 46 seconds

Congrats. Thanks. Thank you, sir. Heat. Heat.

4:59

4 minutes, 59 seconds

**[music], , Great catching up with my next guest, Gage Young, going to be back in action taking on Mashhate, UFC Shanghai August 23rd. Gets to travel a bit for this one, which is great. Gage, how you doing, man?
**

0:099 secondsI’m well, brother. How are you doing? Great. I’m not going to be going to Shanghai, though, man. Are you excited about this? I know some fighters, they do like fighting states side, others, you get those frequent

0:1717 secondsflyer miles. Where do you stand on getting to go to Shanghai for this fight?

0:2121 secondsAt first, I was like super against it. I was not really looking forward to it, but um the matchup was so sweet and the timing was cool. like we had six weeks

0:2929 secondsto get ready. So, I’ve kind of switched my mindset on it and I’m I’m looking forward to, you know, just the life experience of traveling, the fight

0:3838 secondsexperience of like adjusting time zones and dealing with all that for the first time. So, yeah, there’s it’s uh it’s exciting. I’m looking forward to it.

0:4646 secondsGood. And I think the big thing there, you get some notice, right? Unlike your last fight on on the debut, I know that’s something you’re always prepared for, though. If that phone, you know, is going to ring, you’re going to answer

0:5454 secondsthe call. And that’s what you did in the last fight against Evan Elder. you know, didn’t go the way you wanted, but what did you take away the most from that entire experience getting the short notice UFC call and fighting a guy that you’re pretty familiar with in Evan?

1:041 minute, 4 secondsYeah, I mean, the the timing wasn’t super awesome and and it sucks that you have to fight a friend, but um as far as

1:111 minute, 11 secondslike the experience of fighting in the UFC and, you know, walking into the cage and experiencing the the crowd and the, you know, the arena and everything, it

1:201 minute, 20 secondswas good, man. I took a lot away from it and uh yeah, the the decision wasn’t what we wanted it to be and and the

1:271 minute, 27 secondsperformance was pretty lackluster if you if you ask me and and it’s kind of a tough fight for me to go back and watch because I feel like that fight was super

1:341 minute, 34 secondswinnable, but uh it is what it is. We’re going to take it take it uh for what it is and we’re going to move forward, you know.

1:401 minute, 40 secondsYeah. And you mentioned liking this match up against Mashate, 14ight veteran, always exciting in his fights.

1:441 minute, 44 secondsI’m sure that’s part of the reason why you like it, but how do you feel like your style matches up against his in this one?

1:491 minute, 49 secondsYeah, I think stylistically, uh, it’s a good matchup for me. Like, he’s a sharp shooter, I’m a sharpshooter, and, uh, we

1:561 minute, 56 secondsboth like to strike, so I think it’s going to come down to, uh, our eyes, reaction time, range control, stuff like

2:042 minutes, 4 secondsthat. And I think I I really shine in that area. So, I think it’s a good matchup.

2:082 minutes, 8 secondsYeah. And you’ve fought in other people’s backyards before, but not in a different country. Are you kind of anticipating that that I think the people are going to probably be on your opponent’s side for this one?

2:162 minutes, 16 secondsYeah, that’s all right, man. I’m I’m looking forward to going over there and playing spoiler, you know.

2:202 minutes, 20 secondsYeah. Yeah, it’ll be fun. Always cool experience getting to do that. Uh take me through camp who’ve been some of the main guys helping you get ready for this fight uh for Mashhate.

2:282 minutes, 28 secondsCamp’s been good, man. More of the same same guys, same gym. Uh Johnny O’s been helping me out. We got Dylan Riceman,

2:352 minutes, 35 secondshe’s been helping me out. Uh Amir, all all the all the usual guys that I’m training with. But uh yeah, man. Camp’s

2:432 minutes, 43 secondsbeen real real smooth. At first whenever they told me that I they gave me about six weeks notice and um you know I’m a guy that lives the lifestyle. I’m

2:512 minutes, 51 secondsconstantly in the gym. So uh at first you know I like to have like eight weeks but you know I

2:582 minutes, 58 secondssix weeks is feeling good man. Like I feel like I’m peing at the right time and I was already staying in pretty good shape training. So uh yeah I think six

3:063 minutes, 6 secondsweeks was good for me you know. So um I’m feeling feeling real good about camp. I’m I’m you know the body’s body’s good. My weight’s on point. So, all is well, brother.

3:163 minutes, 16 secondsThat’s good. Um, who’s going to be making the trip down there with you? And when are you getting to Shanghai? Have you figured all that out yet?

3:223 minutes, 22 secondsYeah. So, uh, same corner I had last time. We’re going to go Zack Cummings, Jason Hai, and Johnny O. And, uh, so

3:293 minutes, 29 secondsthey’re they’re flying us out Friday, and we’ll end up getting to Shanghai. I think we lose a day.

3:363 minutes, 36 secondsSo, we’ll end up getting to Shanghai at like 300 p.m. Saturday. Oh, cool.

3:403 minutes, 40 secondsSo, yeah, we’re pl we’ll have just about a week. So, we’re planning on, you know, taking Saturday, Sunday, uh, to try and adjust to the time zone, get our sleep

3:493 minutes, 49 secondssituated, you know, shake the flight off, and, uh, yeah, it’s my first time going through this process. So, I’m kind

3:563 minutes, 56 secondsof leaving it up to my coaches. You know, these guys are veterans. They’ve they’ve done this before. They’ve traveled across seas, and, you know, I I trust these guys, and, you know, I’m just kind of doing what I’m told to do.

4:064 minutes, 6 secondsSo, I’m I’m playing Soldier this time around and I’m looking forward to uh experiencing a new aspect of the fight game, which is, you know, traveling

4:144 minutes, 14 secondsacross the country and, you know, trying to trying to be grateful for it.

4:184 minutes, 18 secondsYeah. And and that was something I was actually going to bring up. You kind of already took my answer there, but I mean, we’ve talked about this so many times in our interviews, having that experience in the gym with Jason and

4:264 minutes, 26 secondswith with Zack. I think Jason, if I’m not mistaken, actually fought in Brazil against a Brazilian. So, I mean, of all people to know what it’s like to fight in a different country, he would know.

4:344 minutes, 34 secondsZach’s been fighting internationally as well. Um, you know, how much does that help too because I know for some fighters it’s like a whole new experience like how am I going to cut weight? What food do I need to buy? Like

4:424 minutes, 42 secondsthese guys have been through that experience. So that’s got to put you at ease just knowing that these are guys that have done this already and they can help you out, you know, being in a new

4:494 minutes, 49 secondssort of uh situation as far as like all that stuff you’re used to on Fight Week.

4:534 minutes, 53 secondsYeah, exactly, bro. Yeah. So, it’s, you know, I’m just kind of trusting their word and uh I’m going to take it for what it is and I’m looking forward to

5:105 minutes, 10 secondswhat started as a negative in my mind has now turned to a positive and I’m kind of embracing it.

5:155 minutes, 15 secondsGood. Well, that’s great. Um, and then you know, you mentioned the weight’s good. Has the weight cut altered at all just because you have so much traveling or are you kind of just doing it like you normally would and treating it like a normal fight week?

5:255 minutes, 25 secondsI mean, weight weight’s always pretty good. You know, weight’s never a big thing for me. I’m I’m kind of a uh I don’t cut a whole bunch of weight to get

Who Is Gauge Young? Meet ‘Gee Money,’ the Small-Town Wrestler Who Bet Everything on MMA

Focus Keyphrase: Who is Gauge Young
Slug: who-is-gauge-young
Meta Description: Who is Gauge Young? Meet “Gee Money,” the UFC lightweight from Sedalia, Missouri who turned wrestling, kickboxing and relentless self-belief into an MMA career.

Who is Gauge Young? The UFC lightweight known as “Gee Money” is a fighter from Sedalia, Missouri who went from training in a garage and watching his college plans disappear to competing at the highest level of MMA.

Young did not grow up with a carefully mapped-out plan to become a UFC fighter.

Instead, football was supposed to be his future.

When his college opportunity fell apart, however, Young found himself searching for another direction. Wrestling was already part of his life, while kickboxing had become something he enjoyed on the side.

Soon, those two worlds came together.

He entered his first MMA fight shortly after turning 18, eventually moved away from his hometown to chase the sport full-time, and relied heavily on the support of the woman who later became his wife while he had almost no money.

Now, Young holds an 11-3 professional record with six knockout victories.

More importantly, his story is built around something he talks about constantly: learning how to believe in himself.

Who Is Gauge Young?

Gauge Young is an American professional mixed martial artist from Sedalia, Missouri.

He competes in the UFC lightweight division under the nickname “Gee Money.”

Young combines a wrestling background with a striking game that has produced six professional knockout victories.

However, his path toward the UFC was far from straightforward.

Football originally looked like the sport that could shape his future. When that plan collapsed, MMA slowly became the new direction.

Eventually, what started as an experiment turned into the center of his life.

Where Is Gauge Young From?

Young was born and raised in Sedalia, Missouri.

Although his career eventually took him away from the small town for better training, Sedalia remains a major part of his identity.

In fact, Young has repeatedly talked about representing the community and returning home whenever possible.

Before one major fight, he described local businesses and supporters organizing events around him. He then made his connection to the town clear, saying that he was born and raised there and intended to continue representing Sedalia throughout his career.

That small-town background has also shaped how he sees his success.

Young has said that people where he comes from generally do not reach the level he has reached.

Did Gauge Young Play Football?

Yes.

Before MMA became his career, Young saw himself primarily as a football player.

His original plan was to play college football, get a degree and eventually enter a more traditional career.

However, his college scholarships reportedly fell through at the last moment.

That changed everything.

Suddenly, the future Young had expected was gone.

For a period, he attended school for roughly a semester, but college did not feel right.

Meanwhile, combat sports were already waiting in the background.

Did Gauge Young Wrestle Before MMA?

Yes.

Wrestling was one of Young’s earliest combat sports foundations.

He began wrestling while young and continued through high school.

Later, that experience gave him an important base when he started mixing martial arts together.

However, Young has admitted that wrestling is not necessarily the part of training he enjoys most.

He recognizes its value, yet striking comes more naturally to him.

When Did Gauge Young Start Kickboxing?

Young began kickboxing as a teenager.

At one point, he would play a football game on Friday night and then compete in a kickboxing match the following day.

At first, kickboxing was simply something he enjoyed.

Still, he quickly developed an interest in striking.

After football and college plans changed, Young realized he already had two important pieces of an MMA game: wrestling and kickboxing.

So, he combined them.

How Old Was Gauge Young When He Had His First MMA Fight?

Young was 18 years old.

In one interview, he said he took his first MMA fight around 10 days after his 18th birthday.

He admitted that he barely knew what he was getting himself into.

At the time, his experience consisted mainly of high school wrestling, hitting a heavy bag and a few amateur kickboxing matches.

Nevertheless, Young jumped into the cage.

That decision changed his life.

What Happened in Gauge Young’s First MMA Fight?

Young won, but he later laughed at how unprepared he looked.

According to him, he became extremely tired because he did not yet understand the demands of an MMA fight.

Still, the experience hooked him.

Once Young realized how much he enjoyed competing inside the cage, MMA stopped being a casual experiment.

It became the path.

Did Gauge Young Have an Amateur MMA Career?

Yes.

Young built significant experience before turning professional.

In a later interview, he described going 11-1 as an amateur and said that he was ranked No. 1 nationally at lightweight at one point.

Other earlier records mentioned a smaller number of amateur contests, so databases may differ on how all of those bouts were classified.

Still, the important point is clear.

Young did not rush into the professional level without experience.

Instead, he spent years learning through amateur MMA, wrestling, kickboxing and jiu-jitsu competition.

Did Gauge Young Ever Lose as an Amateur?

Yes.

Young has openly discussed an amateur loss that became important to his development.

He said his opponent got inside his head before the fight.

Rather than worrying specifically about being knocked out, Young became intimidated and mentally lost the contest before he even entered the cage.

Afterward, however, he did not stay down for long.

He spent roughly a weekend dealing with the disappointment, then returned to training.

Young later explained that losing was not unfamiliar because wrestling had already taught him how to experience failure and keep going.

That lesson would later become central to his mentality.

How Did Gauge Young Start Training Seriously?

At first, Young was training in a garage in Sedalia.

He had tough local training partners, but he realized that his ambitions were becoming larger than the structure around him.

Eventually, he received a call encouraging him to come train in Kansas City.

When he arrived, the difference was immediate.

There were structured practices, systems, higher-level fighters and experienced coaches.

However, Young also had to earn his place.

During an earlier transition into a major gym, he remembered being tested heavily by established fighters and getting beaten up in training for roughly two months before gaining their respect.

Instead of leaving, he stayed.

Why Did Gauge Young Move Away From Sedalia?

Young realized that becoming an elite fighter required a larger training environment.

That decision created a difficult personal situation.

Sedalia was home.

His partner was there.

Their lives were there.

Still, Young believed he had to take a chance on himself.

So, around 19 years old, he moved toward Kansas City to pursue fighting more seriously.

His longtime partner initially remained behind.

Who Is Gauge Young’s Wife?

Young has publicly spoken about having a wife who supported him long before he became a UFC fighter.

A public profile screenshot supplied for this profile lists Brooklyn Mitchell as being in a relationship with Young since April 15, 2018.

Separately, Young described his longtime partner in an interview as the woman who stayed in Sedalia while he moved to pursue fighting and who later became his wife.

The interview itself did not name her, so the two details should not automatically be treated as confirmation of identity.

What Young did make clear, however, was how important his partner was to his career.

How Did Gauge Young’s Wife Support His MMA Dream?

Financially and emotionally.

When Young moved away to train full-time, he was essentially a teenage fighter with almost no income.

His partner continued working and helped cover the bills.

Young openly admitted that she was taking care of him while he was saying, in effect, that he was going to become a UFC fighter.

At that point, there was no guarantee.

There was only belief.

Eventually, she moved with him, and Young has repeatedly credited her support as one of the reasons he reached the UFC.

Does Gauge Young Have Children?

Young has publicly said that he and his wife are expecting a child.

That development changed his motivation.

Earlier in his career, fighting was heavily connected to his search for identity, self-worth and purpose.

More recently, however, Young said his perspective changed because he now has a wife and a baby on the way.

Instead of fighting only for himself, he described his family as the new reason behind the work.

Why Did Gauge Young Start Fighting?

His answer has changed over time.

Initially, money was part of the attraction.

Young believed professional fighting could become a career that paid well.

Years later, he realized regional MMA was not a fast route to wealth.

Still, by then, the sport had already changed him.

Young said that what kept him fighting was no longer simply money. Instead, he became addicted to the lifestyle and the feeling of constantly improving.

That growth became its own reward.

Did Gauge Young Struggle With Self-Confidence?

Yes.

One of the more interesting parts of Young’s story is that his public confidence did not always match how he felt internally.

He has admitted that he was never naturally the most self-confident person.

At times, he said he essentially faked confidence.

Eventually, though, the hours in the gym changed that.

Young began to see proof that he belonged.

Now, instead of trying to convince himself that he is good enough, he says his confidence comes from the work he has already done.

What Is Gauge Young’s Mindset?

Young’s mentality is built around self-belief, repetition and accepting discomfort.

He has said that nobody can criticize him harder than he has already criticized himself.

Therefore, part of his growth has involved learning how to handle his own thoughts.

Rather than pretending fear does not exist, Young tries to understand it.

When anxiety appears, he asks himself why.

Then he mentally plays through the situation that scares him.

If he is worried about a takedown, for example, he visualizes defending it.

If he imagines being placed in a bad position, he works through the escape.

That process allows him to turn fear into preparation.

Does Gauge Young Meditate?

Yes.

Young has spoken about using meditation and visualization during fight camps.

When anxiety appears, he sits with the feeling instead of ignoring it.

Then he works through specific fight situations mentally.

For Young, fear is not automatically negative.

It can create focus.

However, the fighter has to control it.

He once compared fear to fire.

Handled correctly, fire can cook a meal.

Handled badly, it can burn down a house.

Has Fear Ever Cost Gauge Young a Fight?

According to Young, yes.

During his amateur career, he believes his emotions overwhelmed him before one fight.

He became intimidated by the opponent and mentally lost before the opening bell.

That experience became a wake-up call.

Afterward, Young started working much more seriously on the mental side of competition.

Now, he treats nervousness as normal.

He expects to be scared because he is about to fight another trained athlete.

The goal is not to remove the fear.

Instead, he wants to use it.

What Is Gauge Young’s Fighting Style?

Young is an orthodox lightweight who combines wrestling experience with sharp kickboxing.

His game includes:

Wrestling experience
Fast combinations
Range management
Strong right hand
Knockout power
Kickboxing
Counter striking
Cardio
Fight IQ
Improving submission offense
Ability to adjust during fights

Although he started with wrestling, Young has said striking comes more naturally.

In particular, his right hand has become one of his biggest weapons.

Is Gauge Young a Wrestler or Striker?

He is both, although Young appears to enjoy striking more.

Wrestling gave him his early base.

Still, kickboxing feels more natural to him.

Over time, Young became increasingly confident that he could hurt high-level opponents with his hands.

As a result, he began deliberately hunting knockouts.

That mentality matches his record.

Six of his professional wins have come by KO or TKO.

Does Gauge Young Have Knockout Power?

Yes.

Young has described himself as having legitimate one-punch power.

More importantly, his record supports the idea that striking is a major finishing weapon.

He currently has six professional knockout wins.

Young has also said that once his confidence behind the right hand grew, opponents began falling much more regularly.

Does Gauge Young Prefer Knockouts or Submissions?

Knockouts.

Young has been very clear about that.

During an earlier interview, he was asked whether he would rather knock someone unconscious or force a submission.

His response was essentially KO every time.

He described the feeling of a knockout as an adrenaline rush that submissions do not give him in quite the same way.

Still, Young respects grappling and continues developing it.

Is Gauge Young Good at Jiu-Jitsu?

Young considers himself well-rounded, although submission offense was once an area he specifically wanted to improve.

After one earlier fight, he said his submission defense had improved significantly.

However, he wanted to become more dangerous offensively.

Therefore, he began spending more time creating a structured submission game.

Even so, Young’s first instinct remains finishing opponents with strikes.

What Kind of Opponent Gives Gauge Young Trouble?

Young has identified well-rounded pressure fighters as a potentially difficult style.

A fighter who can constantly move him backward while mixing striking and takedowns creates multiple threats at once.

However, Young also believes understanding that weakness gives him a better chance to fix it.

He studies his own style carefully.

As a result, he wants to know exactly where opponents might find success before fight night.

Does Gauge Young Study Other UFC Fighters?

Yes.

Young describes himself as a student of MMA.

He regularly watches film and has mentioned studying fighters such as:

Cory Sandhagen
Robert Whittaker
Michael Chandler
Jack Della Maddalena
Charles Oliveira
Max Holloway

Sandhagen has been especially interesting to him because of the way he blends takedown threats with high-level striking.

Young likes studying how one threat creates openings for another.

Who Are Gauge Young’s Favorite Fighters?

Young has mentioned several fighters he admires.

Robert Whittaker has been described as one of his heroes.

Meanwhile, Michael Chandler became another source of inspiration.

Young has a similar compact frame and previously wondered whether his body would be too small for lightweight.

Seeing Chandler generate huge power at 155 pounds helped change that thinking.

That became especially relevant as Young grew naturally into the lightweight division.

Did Gauge Young Ever Fight at Featherweight?

Yes.

Young previously competed around featherweight.

As he matured physically, however, the cut became increasingly difficult.

At one point, he discussed having to lose roughly 40 pounds across an eight-week camp because he had allowed his weight to climb too high outside competition.

Eventually, lightweight became a more natural division.

Would Gauge Young Fight at Welterweight?

Young has previously said he would prefer not to.

The 15-pound jump between lightweight and welterweight is significant.

He has also seen lightweight teammates compete against naturally larger welterweights and noticed the physical difference.

Therefore, 155 pounds appears to be his preferred long-term division.

Did Gauge Young Turn Down a UFC Contract?

According to Young, yes.

One of the most unusual parts of his career came before he eventually joined the UFC.

Young said that after knocking out David Evans when he was around 21, he was offered an opportunity to enter the UFC.

He turned it down.

Why?

Because he did not believe he was ready yet.

Rather than rushing toward the biggest promotion, Young wanted more professional experience.

That decision says a lot about how he views MMA as both sport and business.

Why Would Gauge Young Turn Down the UFC?

Young wanted staying power, not simply a UFC logo beside his name.

He had watched teammates and other fighters accept short-notice UFC opportunities, lose difficult fights and then disappear from the promotion quickly.

Young did not want that story.

Instead, he wanted enough experience to arrive in the UFC and actually compete.

His thinking was simple.

Getting signed was not the hardest part.

Staying there was.

Did Gauge Young Move Gyms During His Career?

Yes.

Young’s career has involved several training changes as he searched for better structure.

At different points, he trained around Kansas City and considered moving toward larger environments such as Factory X.

Today, official listings associate him with Ignite Jiu-Jitsu.

The larger pattern, however, has remained consistent.

Whenever Young feels that his development requires something more, he is willing to move.

What Was Training Like for Gauge Young Early in His Career?

Rough.

In one interview, Young described arriving at a new high-level room where established fighters immediately tested him.

For roughly two months, he felt like he was constantly being beaten up in training.

However, he eventually earned respect.

That period taught Young something important.

He could survive in difficult rooms.

Moreover, being uncomfortable did not mean he was in the wrong place.

Sometimes discomfort meant he was finally training somewhere that could force him to improve.

What Does a Gauge Young Training Camp Look Like?

Young trains heavily when competition approaches.

In one camp, he described days that included:

Morning training
Live grappling
Four-mile runs
Ice baths
Jiu-jitsu
Strength and conditioning
Sparring the following morning

Sometimes, that means two sessions every day.

However, Young has also become more aware of overtraining.

When calories drop and the body becomes tired, he knows intensity has to be managed carefully.

Why Is Strength and Conditioning Important to Gauge Young?

As Young reached the UFC level, he decided that simply training MMA was not enough.

He began treating strength and conditioning as its own serious part of his preparation.

That change reflects his overall development.

Instead of approaching himself only as a fighter, Young increasingly approaches camp like a professional athlete.

Recovery, calories, water, sleep, running and strength work all matter.

What Does Gauge Young Do Outside MMA?

Young describes himself as a fairly simple person.

Outside training, he has talked about:

Gaming
Spending time with family
Drinking coffee
Trying different food
Spending time with his dog
Sightseeing
Staying home
Thinking about future businesses

He has called himself a homebody.

Therefore, his life outside camp is not built around partying or constant attention.

Is Gauge Young a Gamer?

Yes.

Young has said he plays video games in his free time.

However, fighting still takes up most of his mental energy.

During serious camps, nearly everything revolves around training, food, sleep and recovery.

Gaming is simply one of the ways he relaxes when there is time.

Does Gauge Young Have a Dog?

Yes.

Young has publicly mentioned a dog named Poncho.

Spending time with Poncho is one of the simple things he enjoys outside MMA.

Does Gauge Young Like Coffee?

Yes.

Young has described himself as a foodie and coffee lover.

In fact, when asked what kind of business he might start if money were no issue, one of his answers was a coffee shop.

That was not his only idea.

What Does Gauge Young Want to Do After Fighting?

Young has surprisingly peaceful plans for someone who makes a living fighting people.

He has talked about:

Owning a coffee shop
Creating a community garden
Growing vegetables
Living on a farm
Raising chickens
Raising goats
Raising cattle
Becoming a “cowboy”
Investing in real estate
Buying and renting houses

He has even described himself as a lover rather than a naturally mean person.

The contrast is interesting.

Inside the cage, Young wants knockouts.

Outside it, he imagines eventually becoming a homesteader.

Does Gauge Young Want to Invest in Real Estate?

Yes.

Young has discussed using money from fighting to buy houses.

His idea is to purchase property, rent it out and create passive income.

That connects directly to one of his biggest long-term goals.

Financial freedom.

Does Gauge Young Want to Become UFC Champion?

Young’s answer has been more thoughtful than the standard prospect response.

He respects how difficult becoming world champion actually is.

Instead of casually declaring that a belt is guaranteed, Young has said that people sometimes throw the phrase “future world champion” around too easily.

His initial target is progress.

First the UFC.

Then perhaps the top 15.

After that, the top 10.

Of course, Young also admits that if he reaches No. 15, his mind will immediately start asking why he cannot reach No. 10.

And if he reaches No. 10, why not No. 5?

Eventually, that logic leads to the championship.

What Is Gauge Young’s Biggest Career Goal?

Financial freedom has been one of his clearest answers.

Young wants fighting to give him enough money that he can live comfortably, support his family and eventually invest in life beyond MMA.

For him, rankings matter.

Winning matters.

However, he also understands that fighting is a short career.

Therefore, turning those wins into long-term security matters just as much.

Why Does Gauge Young Say He Has Been ‘Losing His Whole Life’?

Because his path has included much more failure than fans see.

Today, people see a UFC fighter.

Young sees the small kid who lost wrestling matches, watched football plans fail, struggled with confidence and repeatedly had to rebuild.

He has said that many of those old losses are now becoming wins.

That perspective is important because Young does not present his story as one of effortless talent.

In fact, he has said he was not born with extraordinary athletic ability.

His strongest trait, he believes, is heart.

What Advice Does Gauge Young Give Young Fighters?

Believe in yourself and keep showing up.

Young’s message is not complicated.

He believes the formula at the highest level is already visible:

Hard work.

Discipline.

Consistency.

Suffering.

Then more work.

The difficult question is whether someone can continue when progress becomes painful.

Young believes many people stop when the pressure becomes uncomfortable.

His advice is to stay in it.
