Speaker 1 (00:57):
A skill.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
We back though, Remember last time we said, you know,
we didn't even check in, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
I don't know why it was so annoyed. I know
you've always got my energy. You never wanted you got it, dude.
That's that's the deal, right, you got man?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
He and Gary check in with my boy another.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Fight week, Big fight. So you were supposed to fight
another day next week. Right now, you get shot cut.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Crazy situation right because most people don't want to fight Buckley.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
He's behind you by this guy that can knock you out.
You say yes. Most people don't want to fight Shotcott.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
You say yes because Shotcott has now many have said
they turned him down.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
What makes you always go yeah? Sure?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm a gamer, It's what I love to do.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
And I've said this many, many times, and people don't
understand that I am a kid who had a dream
from Dublin Island who is living that. Now. I'm a
man who's doing everything I've said I'm gonna do. I'm
living the dream. I'm fifteen and our undefeated, one fight
away from cementing myself with an opportunity to win a
world title. Can you believe that that's what dreams are

(02:12):
made of? Now I can sit here and I can
go right. It's risk versus reward. I fight Bookeley. There's
a risk I lose, right, the reward I win. I
move up the ladder.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
But there's no title fight.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
With no title fight right now, I fight Shadcat again. Risk,
massive risk. He's amazing eighteen and eighteen finishes. Wow, scary
still the same risk as find Whacking Bookley or find
anyone else. But the fucking reward is what you're here for.
And I'm not scared of any man that walks this planet.
Opportunities are want make life. God has given me a

(02:45):
golden opportunity. Many don't see a fight against Shavka as
a golden opportunity. I cement myself as a numb one
can hand in the world, next in line for the belt,
and I take out the guy that people think is
the boogeyman.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's perfect.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
You know, it's crazy because I remember the first day
you walk into New York City and we talked to
you a little bit, and you said, wait.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
We're done until you got on the table.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
When you sat on the table, when you cross your
legs and you sat and talked to us another twenty minutes.
Everybody doesn't have to wait for their fighter meeting because
you sat there and you kind of ill cort and
talk to us about not only to fight, but life
and everything that Hi Garrett was and we got to
know you on that day. It's amazing that it's already here,
that you're on the verge of this. Do you ever

(03:28):
think back to yourself and go. I remember that I
felt like yesterday and I was walking into that fighter
meeting for the first time, and now I'm here on
the verge of earning a championship opportunity.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Reflection of life makes you understand how greatful you are
and how far you've come.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
And it's hard to reflect when you're focused. It's hard
to go.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Fuck, it's been so fast, I've done this, but I'm
so tonnel visioned on what I need to do in
life and how I need to succeed and get what
I want that I see it.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
I enjoy it, but I just focus on the governing.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I focus on the goal and I am not gonna
stop focusing until I can put my glothes down, leave
the belts in the octre on and say I'm done.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
One of the greatest of all time.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
In this little bit of time, though, you've seen a lot, right,
you had me ups.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
Everybody loved the and Gary you had to down. Everybody's like, well,
we don't know if we like you and Gary, and
then it's back up right, everybody loves you in here.
How have you dealt with the ups and the downs
of this this life? Like, how have you dealt with
it at such a young age.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, I mean, look, we're in a sport that's ridiculously
volatile in the first place.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
I mean, one second they love you, the next day
hate you. You go out and you knock someone else,
they love you again.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
It's it's just one of those things that if I
give weight to your or anyone else's opinion, it can
affect the way I feel. If I just focus on
myself and my family and the people that I've brought
around the world that need to help elevate me and
be the best meat I can possibly be. If I
give those people the love and compassion they deserve and

(04:57):
understand that their voice matters, then that's all that matters
to me. Is I got the right, the right views,
the right people to kind of go, you're being an ashhole,
you're being great. Keep doing what you're doing, or they'll
pull me up. They're the only people who's opinion I
care about.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Let's get to the fight now. So you and shot
Cutt teammates.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yes, there was this thing that was this thing with
Ian Gary, right, I think it was Leon Edwards.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
For a while, they was like we.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Put him out the gym because He's one of those
guys that comes in, he takes information, he moves on
and he takes it for himself. Kill Cliff and he
were training there for a while. Left then they said
somebody told me, oh, he's not training at a shoot
the Box anymore and all this other stuff. So it
kind of really makes me feel good that you still
have all these guys here. Everybody wants to build a narrative.
Ian Garry is not at shoot the Box anymore.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Like does it feel good? I mean, it feels good for.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Me that you still you're still cool with all the
shoot the box.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
I mean, chiding is still right now for people to
can't see it. Thiango lima the head coach and shoot.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
The box and shout out the bone City Vada.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, that's that.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
That proves that it's.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Do people like the spin ship Leon Edwards like to
spin it right? Do you know what the truth is
with Leon Edwards? He's mentally weak and he didn't like
someone as talented as me on the matter.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
That's the truth.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
And it's a little puppy mass at David Belle who
says it all wouldn't even look me in the eye
of the day. I walked to the gym, but the
fuck lads wouldn't even look at it. I've made my
decision that city and don't speak. That's it right, true,
But it's the truth. Every diy I'll tell you this now.
Anything that's ever come out of my mouth has always
been the truth. I don't like to lie. I don't

(06:32):
like to tell tell lies because if I have to lie,
I have to remember to lie. Life is a lot
easier and my conscience is a lot freer if I
just tell the truth. So with Renegade, it's bullshit. It's
all Bush, it's all lies.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Energy.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
He's not the right energy. I have a great energy
with all those people in that gym. It's ridiculous training.
Let all right, I was late a lot of times.
You know what happens on your You know, I did
my cleaning, I did I went fuck all right, I
was there, I did my cleaner.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
It was nothing to do with energy.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Girl was an hour and a half late to a
training session. You couldn't start until he got there. No,
girl was an hour and a half.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
They have a different time, they have a different time zone.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
That was about colored people time.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
They do they do.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
When I was in Kilcliff. When I was in Kilcliff
m they used to say it. He was like, there's
black people time. Now he's like, there's black people time.
He's like there's brazilion, and then there's fucking you point me,
what can I do? He's like, you're fucking always late,
and it's just like, sorry, dude, I can't help it.
So you and people like to spend night. They like
to come up with a story. They like to find

(07:38):
there with it somewhere. Because the negative is far more
entertaining than positive.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
It becomes their truth.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
So let them do what they want.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
You and teammates, Yes, video surfaces of you guys trained.
Where did that come from?

Speaker 4 (07:50):
That video was posted ages ago. Kill Cliff right. They
let people walk in the door film train and post it.
So that video was posted years ago from someone who
was on. My wife has videos of me from training,
photos of all the videos at that point, because we
always wanted to have them understand them. Like again, I'm
a visual learner. So if you take a video, mean
I see you shoot in and get it out. Why

(08:12):
my foot was, ah, I shouldn't put my foot there, Okay,
I did something wrong. So we always have that in
the my cameraman all they all have a book, a
video surface, someone was there, a media member posted online.
Of course two undfeated fighters at that time, we're like
twenty nine an hour together combined records. I mean, of
course you post that, but the truth is, like, it's training, dude.

(08:32):
You know what happens in training is completely different than
what happens in the fight. So whatever the world wants
to make it at and see it and gets a
little glimpse of Saturday night, let them Saturday Night's very different.

So when you are going with the guy like that, right,
that's eighteen and undefeated. Your mind has to change what
you're undefeated.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Right, exactly everything that.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
You are he is exactly what is the approach to
that fight, to that challenge? Because what can you take
from those sessions? Right as you said, you're a visual learner,
you're a guy that lived it.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
I didn't even know there's a dog. Holy shit, Oh
my god, that dog's beautiful. WHOA Sorry, I.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Didn't even notice until now.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Shavka and I can confidently say the Shavka has never
gone one hundred percent on me in the gym. I
have never gone a hundred percent on Shafca in the gym.
It's always been playful. He's been learning. Literally, you see it.
You can see it in the video.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
You know it is.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
We're not messing and we're not gone, we're not going aggressive,
We're practicing.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
He's reading me, I'm reading him.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
But at the end of the day, there's little bits
you can try and pull away from. Actually one two
like does he have better grapp than me at that
point in his career? Absolutely, one hundred percent. Am I
fire superior speed? Absolutely, But that was two and a
half years ago or two years ago. I believe he's
going to have evolved. I believe I'm going to have evolved.
And we see two different fighters in the octagon on
Saturday night.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
That's the beauty.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Eighteen overs is fifteen and oh you know what I mean,
I'm eight O in the UC.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
He's six and O on the UC.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
I've beaten more ranked opponents and he's more knockouts in
the UC Needles.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
People don't look at it the same way. That's okay
because I'm not the most fighter in the world.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
But Saturday night, when I beat him, you better give
me the fucking respect that deserve. You all better give
me that respect because I'm gonna go and I'm gonna
beat I'm gonna beat Shafka, I'm gonna beat the out
and then what are you gonna say, future champion?

Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's already written, baby, I'm just here to receive.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Well.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I mean, you should have that confidence. Man, you thought
amazing in your career to this point. This guy honestly
seems to be the boogeyman. Like I said, respect that
you always take the fight.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Step up to it. How do you see this on
playing out on Saturday? Like, what are you expecting?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Like because he's kind of big and tall, and he
does some odd things.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Even that bulldog choke with Jeff was.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Odd, But that's that's that's what that's what I find
fascinating about his game is he can He just finds
a way to win.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
And I love that, and that's exactly what I do.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
But just in a I believe a cleaner fashion like
you want to use examples, look at his fight versus
Jeffley and look at mine. Yeah, mine is a fire cleaner.
In his was do you know what I mean? He
got rocked, he got hurt, Jeff was piecing him.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Up with somebody.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Jeff barely touched me. Mima was clean, crisp, calculated. So
when you look at them, we fight differently. So you
get his pressure and his aggression of I'm gonna finish you.
I'm gonna find a way. You're gonna find that versus
this clean, crisp, highly intelligent fight IQ fighter who's gonna

(13:04):
find a way to manipulate you and beat you. That's
the selling point. Let alone the fact that the boat
on the feeder, no one solved their puzzles. So I
believe he's going to do exactly what he's going to
do to everyone else, which is not so much respect
and just go and I'm going to do exactly what
I do against everyone else, which is dominant.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Manipulate man, Guys, Ian Gary, isn't the cold main event
this weekend? To get shot, cod Rock went off at
UFC three ten. Make sure you tapping everything he's doing
to hit that buy button at the ESPN plus pay
per view. Two undefeated fighters fighting for an opportunity to
challenge for world championship. It does not get any better,
Ian Man, thanks again prechectioning it.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Walling Man, I appreciate you. Till next time, guys. Peace,
