00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: I fight what's in front of me. It might be risk,

12
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: you know. I like to take the risk the opportunity

13
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: presents herself. You've got to take here the scary people

14
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: in this division, but I'm scariest.

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,280

Speaker 3: we jump into the episode, just the quick heads up.

17
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: This conversation was a quarterback in February while Jack was

18
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: in Sydney for USC three twelve and before his championship

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,159

23
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Madeleina Well and straight talk mate.

24
00:00:59,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.

25
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Perth person one of my favorite place

26
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: and one of my favorite cities in the world.

27
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 4: I loved you. I used to live there. One of

28
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 4: the things, and you're a Perth boy.

29
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: One of the things is you might explain to everybody

30
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: the parochialism, the way Perth people, or West Australians for

31
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: that matter, sort of consider themselves as different to the

32
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: rest of the country. They love Australia, of course, but

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: East versus West Coast it's a big deal. And when

34
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: someone like you representing them, they are so much behind you.

35
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Can you just explain that thought process of West Australians

36
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: and how did you grow up in that environment?

37
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, Perth is it's a small sort of place

38
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: and it's very isolated. You know, it takes it's a

39
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: five hour journey just to come to the East Side.

40
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: It's a quiet place, laid back and yeah, it's a

41
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: small population, but it's a nice place. It's a beautiful

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: We've got beautiful coastline, beautiful beaches and the people are

43
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: very children. I think Western Australians are very proud of Perth.

44
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: You know what, just a long what Dana said to

45
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: me this week, he said to me, fuck man, he said,

46
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: you've got sharks and fucking snakes and everything else that

47
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: can kill you, and crocodiles and all that sort of stuff.

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: But one of the things people don't realize is the

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: Perth beachs. While they're beautiful, there's a lot of deaths

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: over there from shark attacks per people. Generally speaking to me,

51
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: they're the real crocodile unders of Australia. And Sydney's like

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: a big metropolis, you know, We're like many other big

53
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: city in the world.

54
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: Per's not.

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: West Australia is definitely not as a state, but in

56
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: West Australia.

57
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 4: Are laid back, but they're also.

58
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: More representative of what, like I think what old school

59
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Australians were, tough bastards, farmers, do the thing, do your job.

60
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Perth compared to Sydney is like a little country town,

61
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: I would say, in comparison. But yeah, it's a nice place,

62
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: you know. I think, yeah, some people might look at

63
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: per from the outseats and not necessarily to go there

64
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: because it's it's like a country town, but it's when

65
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: you go there and you get into the lifestyle and

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: you get into the pace of Perth. I think people

67
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: enjoy it.

68
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: I thought we said it's a great place to bring

69
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: kids up, you know, like it's it's and it's.

70
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: A nice joint.

71
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm sort of asking you this stuff, Jack,

72
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: is because I've heard you interviewed it on a number

73
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: of times and people talk about the you know, the

74
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: broken arm and all that sort of stuff, and you

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: just basically say, yeah, like I didn't really feel it,

76
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: I didn't notice it. Adrenaline kicked in, blah blah blah,

77
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: and you sort of dismissed in a very modest way.

78
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: And they say, you know, I've heard people say this

79
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: guy is the toughest basketard in the UFC, you know,

80
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: and that's a big call. And I just wonder if

81
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: it's sort of more to do with You've been to

82
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: West Australia and it's just stuff happens, you know, Like

83
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's blokes out there on big farms which

84
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: are probably million acres, you know, round up cattle, and

85
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: they fall off their horse or they get stuck in

86
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: the wire and the fence or something, and they cut

87
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: them the shit out of themselves and they just go

88
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: back home and have steak and vegie and they just

89
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: forget about it and get back on horse tomorrow.

90
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that is. Yeah, mentality just sort of

91
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: get on with the I wish I could say, yeah,

92
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: my arm was was excruciating pain and I had to

93
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: fight through, but really I couldn't. I couldn't feel a thing.

94
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: You know.

95
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: It really only set in after the fight. But yeah, Perth,

96
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: that's sort of pretty laid back. But everyone works hard,

97
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: you know, everyone has Yeah, everyone's on task and they

98
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: do what they need to do and then at the

99
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: end of the day they sit back and relax and

100
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: have a beer.

101
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: Yeah.

102
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: That was my experience when I live there back in

103
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: the eighties, and I loved it.

104
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: Can I just ask you about your family development.

105
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: Lena is an Italian sounding surname, probably goes back a

106
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: few generations.

107
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeap for you, yeap. Mum's yeah, Australia, scott I think

108
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: mum's grandparents all born bred Australia, Scottish background. I'm strong

109
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: is them, mum's last name, all.

110
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: The things Scottish name, and your brothers and sisters, what

111
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: to deal with family just.

112
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: Their older brother two years older, so it's just the

113
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: two of us. And yeah, Dad, my dad's dad. Granddad

114
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: came from Northern Italy when I think he was seventeen eighteen,

115
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: just for a better life, you know. I think he

116
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: was born in thirty three, so it wasn't the best

117
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: time in Italy, so he just sort of, yeah, look

118
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: for a better life. And I think there was a

119
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: boat heading to Australia and he thought, I think, but

120
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: I think there was heaps of banana. They had a

121
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: lot of bananas. He never had a banana before, so

122
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: I think that sold him to come over.

123
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: It's amazing how we get family stories about, you know,

124
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: and we don't know whether it's true all bullshit, but

125
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: there's a good story anyway to have and your brother, your.

126
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: Older brother growing up together.

127
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've read stuff where that you and he used

128
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: to rip into each other in the backyard and sort

129
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: of like it to a couple of brothers playing around

130
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: with each other, boxing each other and stuff like that,

131
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: going total top yeah.

132
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: Always. You know, dad was a mad rugby fan. So

133
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: we've got sent to rugby pretty young. Really a rabby

134
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: fan in Perth, yeah pretty yeah. Not very usual rugby

135
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: union as well. Not a massive following in Perth, but

136
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: there's a decent, decent amount of rugby teams, but Yeah,

137
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: he just sort of pushed us in that direction from

138
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: a young age, and we just we loved it. Like

139
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: the physicality of it. We were quite physical too when

140
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: we could just train with each other. So he's, yeah,

141
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: I love rugby. But yeah, we would always get into it.

142
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: We loved sort of watching wrestling, bit of we like

143
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: watching boxing. We just sort of, yeah, ripped into each.

144
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: All the combat sports.

145
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, just having fun. You know, to boys Perth, it's

146
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: a quiet place, so we just spent time with each other,

147
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: just pushed each other.

148
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: So did you could you tell me when you first

149
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: started to learn, either to box or do you know?

150
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what was the deal?

151
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: It was, yeah, rugby from a young age. And then

152
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: probably I think I was eleven years old, like we were,

153
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: Me and my brother really started training together. We had

154
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: a tackle bag, but we dad gave us boxing gloves

155
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: and we were pretty young and we just started rather

156
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: and tackling it plane road. We just started punching and

157
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: kicking it, having that sort of thing. And then I

158
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: think I was twelve or thirteen that sort of age,

159
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: we just got into a boxing gym, just loved watching

160
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: martial arts, found a boxing gym and then just really

161
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: got into it, fell in love with the sort of

162
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: like the combat sports at.

163
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: That age, Like did you go and have amateur fights?

164
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: Never nap, just was in I liked watching MMA and

165
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: there was wasn't many MMA gyms around, but just got

166
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: in there, just training with each other. I was still

167
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: playing rugby pretty consistently, so it was more just a

168
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: supplement the rugby, bit of extra fitness, but never got

169
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: into amateur fights. Joined an MMA gym at probably fourteen

170
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: or fifteen, and then sort of just focused more on MMA.

171
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: So when was your first exposure to MMA as a competitor.

172
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: Then as a competitor in Perth they were a bit fat.

173
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: I had like an amateur interclub thing maybe when I

174
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: was about sixteen or seventeen, But in Perth they at

175
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: the time there was a ban on the cage. They

176
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: didn't allow the cage and it was hard to get

177
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: fights below the age of eighteen. So I just pretty

178
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: much waited till I was eighteen and then started competing.

179
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: And when did you realize this is my thing? Like

180
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: were you doing something else, by the way, were you

181
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: doing like an apprenticeship or no?

182
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: Not really just at school train just a school at

183
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: the time just training and then yeah, it took me,

184
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: but I didn't really ever think this was what I

185
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: was going to this was my career path. It was

186
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: just more enjoyment of the sport and the training.

187
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: Was it because your brother's doing it too?

188
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah that was a big pass. Saw Josh into

189
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: it and yeah, Josh, my brother was right into it,

190
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: and I just sort of went along with him, just training.

191
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: And when I saw him have a fight, then I

192
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: was pretty hooked at that point. So he had to

193
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: fight for he had to fight before me. I think

194
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: when he got to eighteen, he sort of had a

195
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: fight and I was just watching. You know, my dad

196
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: would always be yeah, Josh, he fights, and I was

197
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: sort of like, well, I want to fight too. How

198
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: did you picked up whether you have se then? Just

199
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: watching MMA? I think when I was young, I loved

200
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: watching w w A. My granddad was right into w

201
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: w A, so I just was. I was a pretty

202
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: obsessed fan with w w A. And then yeah, it

203
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: must have been that like early teens, twelve thirteen, I

204
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 2: saw an MMA video realized that w W is fuck

205
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: sort of put it together. Then they're like, this is

206
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: actually real wrestling, and it actually looks more fun. So

207
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: at that point I was pretty.

208
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Hooked you But did you did you on a contender

209
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: series or some yeah?

210
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: Ye to get sorry when I was yeah, I had

211
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: ten when I won nine fights. Basically I got into

212
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: a contender series at the start of twenty twenty or

213
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 2: the end of twenty twenty one, go on to Contender series,

214
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,359
Speaker 2: which is a great opportunity.

215
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: What's what's the deal?

216
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: So that you know, I don't know, there's Dane for himself,

217
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: but someone comes along and says this, and Jack, you know,

218
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: we're going to pull you up.

219
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: You're going to You're going to get in.

220
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: You're in the UFC now, you know as a result

221
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,239
Speaker 1: of been really impressing us.

222
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: What what what did? What went through your head?

223
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: Like?

224
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: And where was this series?

225
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: By the way, it was in Las Vegas, So yeah,

226
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: basically just one to fire a local fight and then

227
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: got into talks to the matchmakers and they said, we

228
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: don't want to put you straight into the UFC, but

229
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: here's we've got this route. It's the Contender Series in Vegas.

230
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: You basically go, you fight in front of Dana and

231
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: if he thinks it's like what they promoted is like

232
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: the toughest job interview in the world. You know, you

233
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: go there, you just give it your all, and then

234
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: if Dana thinks you got potential, then he would give

235
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: you the contract.

236
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 4: Do you'd have to do an interview?

237
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: No? No, oh. I got interviewed after the fight by him. Nah,

238
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: it was just the media media interview. Yeah, but it

239
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: was more he just sat there watched the fights. I

240
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: think he just bases it purely on a performance standpoint.

241
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: If you, if he thinks you've got what it takes.

242
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: So what do will you reckon? From your point of view?

243
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: From Jack's point of view, would have impressed him. Stand up,

244
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: like you on the ground, where were you stronger?

245
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: Well? The fight so it was a three round five

246
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: it was. It was mainly striking, but then there was

247
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: a few times where it hit the ground. I was

248
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: able to get back to my feet and then yeah,

249
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: I just sort of kept pushing. I just kept pushing

250
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: right up until the final bow. You know, even the

251
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: last ten seconds. I was just giving it all, like

252
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: throwing everything but the kitchen scene Caden basically, and I

253
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: think that's what he appreciated. I got stuck in some

254
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: bad positions and I was able to get out of them.

255
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: And I think, yeah, I think Dana liked.

256
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, because I mean when you're being pretty modesty.

257
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: So but I mean when i've I've watched some of

258
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: your I watched them in Perth, not last year before,

259
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: obviously not last year, missed out last year were having

260
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: an operation, but we had an oration, but the year

261
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: before and and your style is that you're sort of

262
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: all over them, you know, like you're not letting anyone

263
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: get a break. Yea, you know your yours, throwing punches,

264
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: whatever you're on, you're on the whole time. That seems

265
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: to be a style to me is that you and

266
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: as a personality, I mean you that type of do like, fuck,

267
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to stop you you have to kill.

268
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 4: Me to stop.

269
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Basically I'm a pretty calm person. But yeah, in

270
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: the fight, I feel like getting in there, you've just

271
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: got to I always look at it as and my

272
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: coach has already said, like you've got to damage the

273
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: opponent and get on them and push the pace, like

274
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: you don't have a long time in there, so you've

275
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 2: just got to make things happen. So yeah, that's what

276
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: I try, And just push a strong pace and try

277
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: and damage my opponent.

278
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Do you are you one of those people, those top

279
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: of fighters who you see an opportunity in the moment

280
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: as supposed to planning it. Yeah, and you're ready to

281
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: quickly mentally to take the opportunity really quickly, are you?

282
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 4: So you've got quick reflexes relative.

283
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 2: To what you see. I think what's in front of you?

284
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: I think, So I find what's in front of me,

285
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 2: it take the and yeah, I take the even if

286
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: it might be risk. You know, I like to take

287
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 2: the risk, to risk it for the biscuit, you know,

288
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: for the opportunity presents itself. I feel like you've got

289
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: to take it otherwise that opportunity is gone, you know.

290
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think there's going to be opportunities so

291
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: I can push it and try and take him out.

292
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: Can you explain to all the non professional fighters and

293
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: about when someone tries to take you down like in

294
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: the shoot for you?

295
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, there is.

296
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: It's pretty pretty dangerous if you're the person going to

297
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: cop it, like you know, if they're good at it

298
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: and they put you on the ground, you're in trouble.

299
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: But there's also danger for them too.

300
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

301
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, then you might uppercut them, or you could put

302
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 4: an need in which you.

303
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: Did the perfect Yeah, the perfose someone shooting in their

304
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: heads pretty low, so that upper cut up the middle

305
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 2: or then the knees. The good shot can be risky

306
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: though if you miss, if the knee didn't land, then

307
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: it would pretty much for sure he would get me down.

308
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: So that's what I want to know, Jack, Do you

309
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: would you go through like a like a quick analysis

310
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: or you or you were so experienced I know that

311
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the shot no matter what.

312
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think. Yeah, it was more just yeah,

313
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: as I said, just risk it. You know, you've got

314
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: to pull. You've got times like that, you've got to

315
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: pull the true And the worst thing that would have happened,

316
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: the knee wouldn't have landed. He would have got a

317
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 2: hold of me and I would have ended up on

318
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: my back again, which obviously is an ideal. But the

319
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: best thing that could have happened is the kneelands flush

320
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: and he goes down and he can't recover.

321
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: So so during the period when you're when you're physically

322
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: recovering after because obviously there was a long process of

323
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: recovery and number of operations or a number of.

324
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: Surgeries, et c.

325
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: You didn't have.

326
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: Do you sort of sit around thinking, Okay, my next

327
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: opponent might be looking at me saying, well, Jack likes

328
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: to stand up and go for go hard, for it,

329
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: total tonially and will be all over me like a

330
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: bad suit. So I got to somehow slow slow the game, takedowns,

331
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: time on the floor. I got hold here. You can't

332
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: move picking up points basically, do you? And then you

333
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: think you, oh, should I better? Maybe a better ring?

334
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: Someone up and get some I know you're resting coaches anyway.

335
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, Jay, you've got your black belt.

336
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: Thank you?

337
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: Straight after that?

338
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, how's your brother Phil? Yeah? Yeah he's good.

339
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: He's sweet.

340
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah he's sweet.

341
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: He's did he say does he say to you? Because

342
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: he's brown? Be Yeah, let's let's look can I.

343
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 4: Now, let's let's try out and see if I can

344
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: get a black belt?

345
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, he will get there very soon, I think.

346
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, timing, you really have im pressure you're training. You know,

347
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 4: after that, he gave you the.

348
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: Black belt, So that's pretty cool, especially if you didn't

349
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: do it with the in the ring.

350
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: That's unreal.

351
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: But so do you think to yourself. Do I need

352
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: to do more more floor training or is it just

353
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: a part of the program. You do it anyway every

354
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: other day or whatever it is.

355
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: I do it anyway. It's part of the program, but

356
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: it is. Yeah, A big focus of mine is working

357
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: on the ground game. You know, you've got to work

358
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: on I guess your weaknesses. You know, got to work

359
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: on your weaknesses. You've got to work on your strengths

360
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: as well. But yeah, there's nothing worse than going into

361
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: fun then just getting held down, and yeah, getting held

362
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: down not being able to get up, it's a pretty

363
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: terrible feeling. So I just work every day, really a

364
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: lot of grappling training, how to get up, submissions, the

365
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: whole lot.

366
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 4: And how do you feel like?

367
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: Obviously a black belt, but that's that's sort of slightly

368
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: different went on the floor in the in the mm

369
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: A game. How do you feel about your your your

370
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: your game, your ground game is getting better and better?

371
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely feel like it is getting better. I

372
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: feel like I can hang with the best in the

373
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: world on the feet on the ground, and that's what

374
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to build on, trying to but also

375
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to compete with them on the floor.

376
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: I just want to be in a perfect world. Just

377
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: stop them, get them strong hips, buck them off whenever

378
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: they should, and then keep the fire standing.

379
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, because that's that's a good place for you to be.

380
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 4: You're really confident.

381
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel comfortable, feel calm, and I feel in

382
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: control on the feet.

383
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: Because that brings me to sort of chef cat like.

384
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you call him out

385
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: or something. Did you if you've got an X and

386
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: have a come on dude?

387
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Straight after the fight with Burns called them in

388
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: after and I thought this is the time.

389
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 4: And he responded by saying, your bravery or something like that.

390
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: But I'm going to do to you what I've done

391
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: everything something like that.

392
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how do you how do you I mean,

393
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: obviously you've got to get through this event in March,

394
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: but how do you plan for someone like Shove cut

395
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: Lake like and or Blao. I mean, how do you

396
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: plan for that?

397
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: Do you?

398
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 4: Are you doing that?

399
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: Or you just take one fight at a time.

400
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: I focused on one fight at a time, get through

401
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: this fight and then keep you going. But I think, yeah,

402
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: just keep just trying to get one percent better every

403
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 2: day and every aspect of the game. You know, that's

404
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: it just getting better on the floor, getting better with

405
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 2: the striking, the whole lot. Keep get yeah, one percent

406
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: better every day.

407
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: So because that's funny, you should say that, because I

408
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: was when I was interviewing Drink as he was, he

409
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: had already in his mind plans about you know, after

410
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: he defends his title on a number of times successfully

411
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: of course going up a division even and and you know,

412
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: digging up against Alex Prero, which is it's a big call.

413
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: But planning like why ahead? Why ahead? Do you ever

414
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: get people put pressure on you to start to think

415
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: that way?

416
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 4: Or is it or is it better for you?

417
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: Do you think your style just to go one transaction

418
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: at a time? Please, thanks very much.

419
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously having long term goals is important,

420
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: but there's no one really, yeah, who puts too much

421
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: pressure on me long term. But I like to focus fight,

422
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: fight at a time, the big challenges fight. So you

423
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: go in there finding someone that they've put so much

424
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: time and effort into this. So and it all comes

425
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: down to what happens on the moment, and anything can happen,

426
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: Anything can happen, anyone can win, crazy things happened. So yeah,

427
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: I just focused one fight at a time. So how

428
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: we get Let's get this one out of the way

429
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: and then move on.

430
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: So if if somehow I've got announcer, chef Gutt and Bala,

431
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: We're going to do it up. Yeah, how would Who

432
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: are you going to win out of that one?

433
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's an interesting fight. Really, it's hard

434
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 2: to gauge. I think Shavka is shown that he's more

435
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: of a vicious sort of finisher that finish. He's got

436
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: that strong finishing instinct. But Lah was someone that's more

437
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: going to push a pace, can hold you down. I

438
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 2: sort of just grind out a fight. So it's an

439
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: interesting one. It's a real interesting fight. I would. I

440
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 2: would have to think Shafka. I think he's been on

441
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: a pretty good tear. But his last fight was a

442
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: bit quite more of a quiet fight. But you do

443
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: get those. He's finished everyone, so I think Shavka would

444
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: get that. I think he will beat him.

445
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: How important was it for you when you fought in

446
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: Perth to be in front of your home crowd?

447
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: It was Yeah, it was a dream.

448
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 4: It was really mental. I was there, they went mental.

449
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: It was mental. Yeah, it was a dream come true

450
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: as well. Even just to fight in Australia would have

451
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 2: been incredible. The first fight in Australia in Perth and

452
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: the crowd that day were absolutely booming. You know, we

453
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: had such a big fight having Vulcan Islam. That's a

454
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: massive like pound for pound, like that's the greatest fight

455
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: you could have had at the time, and so the

456
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 2: crowd just got right behind it. And then yeah, going

457
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: out there was the local guys just and then putting

458
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: on a good performance and getting a clean victory. It

459
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 2: just was, yeah, dream come true.

460
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: And when you when you watched vulgu fight, do you

461
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: do you stand back and then obviously he was a

462
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: champion at the time, and do you stand back and

463
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: watch someone like him and watch how he how he

464
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: took that fight like you know, click, he got in

465
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: some precarious positions, but he was just you know, getting

466
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: the choke off him. He was smiling up against the

467
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: why like you know, like it was unfrecking believably cool,

468
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: like like it was ridiculously so ausy.

469
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 2: It was.

470
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still playing with him really like talking to him,

471
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: laughing at him. Yeah, I mean, how do you how

472
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: do you feel as an Aussie like and he probably

473
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: mates it. He is like, how do you feel about that?

474
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: How do you feel when you watch that ship?

475
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 2: That was inspiring, you know for sure, like the Dagistani

476
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 2: wrestler that like nobody could nobody could really mess with him.

477
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 2: If he gets you down, it's over. And Volk's just

478
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: he was just having a grade all time. And then

479
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: totally yeah, and then the last round finishing with Islam

480
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: on his back, just absolutely wailing.

481
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: An another twenty seconds, Yeah, I was just yeah, I

482
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: was wishing for another twenty seconds. I just reckoned he

483
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: would he would have done the job he was.

484
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: I think Islam had done, he had done his work

485
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: for the day and he clocked out and Volk was

486
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: still he was still on you know, so yeah, we

487
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: just need another twenty seconds, I thought, Volk one. I

488
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: don't know if it was the crowd, but yeah, it

489
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: was inspiring just seeing like a I was a legend

490
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: like Volk stepping up weight class above pound for pound

491
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: bess and just putting on an absolute killer of performance.

492
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: It was inspiring back.

493
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: There, bloody masterclass of entertainment too. By the way, how

494
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: important is it for you? I was Putting another way,

495
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: how do you dial into the entertainment factor of the

496
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: whole thing? Because you know, at the end of the day,

497
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: you're getting paid everyone, everyone who's in the knockdo gets

498
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: paid to win or fight the best put on it.

499
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: But it's about not an athletic performance, but it's also

500
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: the general performance. So there's you are part of an

501
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: entertainment factor. Yeah, I mean it just happens to be

502
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: one of the great in my view, one of the

503
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: greatest entertainment for sports in the world. But not just

504
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: because strainers just generally I love it, But that's a

505
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: personal view. How do you respond to that, Like, how

506
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: do you sort of play that? Like, you know, Volk

507
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: has your songs and you know that I think is

508
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: men at Work or one of those songs he has

509
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: coming out?

510
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 4: How do you play into that?

511
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: What do you do? I just try and leave it

512
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: to the I try and leave it to the fighting,

513
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: you know. I try and just be pretty low key.

514
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: But then I want to have like a if all

515
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: said and done, I would just love to have a

516
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: style that the fans love to watch, in a nice,

517
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: clean style that people like to watch. I don't really

518
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: need to be the person that wants to go. Yeah,

519
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 2: talk a whole lot of talk bad about anyone. I

520
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: just want to have a nice, clean style that the

521
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: fire fans enjoy. My eye.

522
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: I was to describer, and I'm just one person advise.

523
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: Describe your your style, I would say willin. Yeah, just

524
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: a willing style like no backward steps.

525
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, all over you, all over you, bother?

526
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 4: What do you think about Duplessy and the Strickland? What

527
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 4: do you what do you thinking about that?

528
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 2: What do you reckon? That's going to go? It's an

529
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: interesting fight. I think it will be pretty similar to

530
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: the first one. I think Drickis will win just through

531
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: more activity, more power strength. I think it will be

532
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: a similar fight. I think Strickland's very good. He's very

533
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: defensively sound, he doesn't really use his feet too much.

534
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 2: And Drickis is a sort ofgether that will use his

535
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 2: fee and he will lun Jau is pretty unpredictable. But

536
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: it's an interesting fight. True to those guys have very

537
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: interesting styles, both of them. So it's a yeah, it's

538
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: an exciting fight.

539
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Made good luck in London. That's going to be a ripper.

540
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch it. And and as you

541
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: say it's going to be a very exciting Sunday this weekend.

542
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, cheers Mouth, thank you,
