In this disruptive episode I grill and interrogate
0:44
one of the best and most disruptive
0:46
UFC fighters in the world today, Paddy
0:49
Pimlott. Paddy reveals his dream fight whether
0:51
he would fight Jake or Logan Paul,
0:53
if he'd take a fight just for
0:56
the money who he's got beef with
0:58
right now and he also opened up
1:00
about a lot of fat shaming he
1:03
gets and men's mental health, depression and
1:05
suicide. There's some shocking moments, there are
1:07
some weird moments and there is one
1:10
towards the end of the most moving
1:12
moments I think you've ever seen from
1:14
Paddy Pimlott. Paddy,
1:17
Jake Paul or Logan Paul, who would you prefer to
1:19
fight? I
1:21
don't really. You're not bothered? No, I'm asked,
1:23
not one. Would you fight them both? Yeah,
1:26
of course. Would you fight one then the
1:28
other? Yeah. You would? Yeah. Yeah.
1:30
But you don't worry about it like
1:32
not being that credible, you're a proper
1:34
fighter but not... If the money's
1:36
right, that's it. I'll beat
1:38
the pair the whole point after another. And how
1:41
much is the money? How much would it
1:43
take? I always have to speak to my
1:45
manager to do all that. That's not my
1:47
fault, you never get involved in that. No,
1:49
that's not. You just do what you're told.
1:51
Yeah, that's not my job. Which
1:54
one do you think is best out of them two? I
1:56
fight them. Yeah, obviously Jake.
1:59
Right. Yeah, Jake's definitely a better fighter.
2:01
I said, rest
2:03
let it ease more, WWE. And
2:06
would you fight Jake just boxing, not
2:08
MMA? Yeah, I was right of course.
2:10
Of course I'd say that. Yeah.
2:14
I'd fight all these old MMA fighters who go on and
2:16
I'm doing it because the money is right.
2:18
Yeah. And what do you
2:20
think about how that influencer boxing has
2:22
changed the sport? Do you think it's
2:24
changed the sport? Yeah, it's a bit
2:27
stupid like it, isn't it? But it's just one of them.
2:30
It's after people are playing the season, it's after people are
2:32
playing the season. There's
2:34
professional boxers who are like unbeaten.
2:37
They're the English and British champions in the
2:39
UK and they don't get no recognition and
2:41
they actually find out how to get fights
2:43
and stuff like that. But these
2:45
influencers are getting fights and getting paid
2:47
big money on big shows, big stages
2:49
to the mad.
2:52
Do you think that's wrong? Yeah.
2:55
In the actual boxers
2:58
who've gone full amateur
3:00
career and now go pro and
3:02
have put the whole life into it, they should be
3:04
getting more of the spotlight and the landlights than these
3:06
influencer boxers. But as I say, if a lot of
3:08
people tune into what's other than if people are tuning
3:11
into watching that. And I'm almost on a couple of
3:13
months ago and there was a tag team boxing match.
3:15
I was like, what is going
3:17
on here? Is this like, are
3:19
these messing? I was just sitting
3:21
there like that. Oh my God. Team
3:24
boxing. Are they all in at the same
3:26
time? Or one year now? No, one year
3:28
like getting dropped and then he taggers me.
3:30
That was the maddest one we've ever seen.
3:32
I've never seen it on like this. I'm
3:36
very proud to say this episode is sponsored
3:38
by AG1. As you know, we're more than
3:40
1,000 episodes into
3:42
disruptors and I very rarely have sponsors.
3:44
I'm really choosy on sponsors and I
3:46
only pick people that I love myself
3:49
and I use myself. I have turned
3:51
down loads of sponsors, but personally I've
3:53
been using AG1 for nearly 14 years
3:56
myself before we ever did a sponsorship deal
3:58
with them. AG1 really
4:00
helps with my mental focus, clarity and overall
4:02
wellbeing. As someone who's really fricking busy and
4:05
can't always sit there and eat a million
4:07
vegetables in a day, knocking back a big
4:09
pint full of AG1 in the morning is
4:11
perfect for me. Of course
4:13

thanks for sponsoring the show, you are
4:46
legends. Have
4:48
you seen those MMA ones where there's like six
4:50
against six and they all just go in? I
4:53
play Ken Brush, it was a sock right there. Yeah. Did you
4:55
do that? No, no, because you can just
4:58
get the stolen, you have to get it from the back
5:00
of the head. Yeah. Do
5:02
you think though, that being said about legitimate
5:05
boxing versus influencer boxing, do you think
5:07
entertainment is important in your sport? Yeah,
5:09
of course entertainment is important in any
5:11
sport. Of course,
5:14
without saying, I mean, it's boring,
5:16
you're not really going to want to watch it are
5:18
you? Yeah. And do you
5:21
think about that when you fight, like you want to entertain the
5:23
crowd or you more thinking about I need to win this fight
5:25
and not act like a dick? Because
5:27
it must be a fine line. You could
5:29
say that, yeah, it is a fine line, but obviously,
5:32
winning the fight comes first. You
5:36
want to entertain everyone, yeah, goes out to train. But
5:38
winning the fight comes first, gives me life as an
5:40
example, to be honest. The first round,
5:42
I stuck with them, I wanted to knock them out.
5:45
I caught them with some big punches for us when I
5:47
finished them. I was like, I'm going to have to do
5:49
something. I took advantage of it
5:52
and got on top of it. And
5:54
we Realized how easy it was
5:56
to just sit on top of them and land
5:58
ground on top of it. They want to
6:00
come out of on the same the second right
6:02
even though old face wrong with more entertaining. I.
6:05
Knew it was an easy route of if greece to take
6:07

6:09

10:33
I can I enjoy my food more than 99.8% of
10:35
those people Absolutely
10:38
enjoy me food, but I don't let anything
10:40
go to waste So I
10:43
could be going for a meal for all of
10:45
us and like I nailed my hand and the
10:47
three you finished didn't finish yours I'd finish yours
10:50
Nothing goes the way no, I can't
10:52
help myself Oh That's
10:55
just the way I am. Yeah, I get me
10:57
away from me weight goes off after a fight
10:59
because I am good I indulge I can't help
11:02
it. Hmm. Like I say before I won't go
11:04
above this way I won't do that and
11:06
then I just can't stop eating when I start
11:09
Yeah, and do those comments like
11:12
get to you and hurt you? Can't
11:15
let anything get to you anymore. No point
11:17
now where People
11:19
say it on every day so you just
11:22
Just get on with and how have you managed to harden
11:24
yourself to that because a lot of people They
11:27
probably could be be more and do
11:29
more with their life But they're just worried
11:32
about all the haters and there's everyone's a hater
11:34
online now. Yeah. Yeah, everyone's at all. I've gone
11:36
to eat it. Oh Yeah,
11:39
how'd you harden yourself? I've been to go. No, please
11:41
feel that Only being by
11:43
going through an all by you feel and we
11:45
had ourselves up that way I
11:48
mean we give each other hell. Yeah stuff
11:50
happened and stuff got said what couldn't if
11:52
there was Girls there so
11:54
loud. We just told them each other up that
11:57
way in our school some
11:59
of the stuff we said to each other and did to each other. I
12:03
was conditioned for it. So
12:05
when I got into MMA, and I started saying, obviously,
12:09
there's the fighting side of MMA. And
12:12
there's the other side. As you said
12:14
before, the entertainment side, the outside
12:16
of the cage side. I
12:18
just talked a lot later on. When
12:21
I was 16, I made a
12:23
post on the cage, what he was for, saying, I
12:25
am the best armature man's awake in the country. Does
12:27
anyone dispute this? It
12:30
got me just once. Do
12:32
you really believe it? Yes. Really? Yeah. And I was only
12:34
like, oh, four and all the time. Something stupid like that.
12:37
I was like, four and all. I ended up going nine
12:39
and all, armature. Beating a list of
12:41
people who would be pulling. Like,
12:44
the most hits ever on the armature forum.
12:46
So when I went pro, people were already
12:48
talking about me. I
12:51
just talked a bit naturally. That
12:55
side of things. People
12:57
take me out. I just got them. What
13:01
is it? A bit like all of it. It's just a
13:03
third of people. One of them.
13:05
I don't know. I don't see it. Would
13:09
you say you were born a fighter,
13:12
or did you make yourself a fighter? Probably
13:17
a bit of both, to be honest. I was born to
13:19
do something, definitely. But
13:21
then when I had me first fighting, got me on race, and
13:24
I got that feeling, I was like, yeah. I
13:27
know I was born to do this. This is what I
13:29
was meant to do. Get me on race like this. So
13:31
16, you knew you were that fit? Yeah, 16,
13:34
I knew that was it. Professional fire. And how long had
13:36
you been training? One year? Yeah,
13:38
when I had my first fighter, being like 15
13:40
months. Wow. I'm
13:43
tough back now. I've got good confidence. Yeah.
13:47
And you just knew? Yeah. Soon as I got
13:49
on race, I just knew. Like, yeah, this is
13:51
what I'm doing. That'll be like... That
13:53
must feel good. Because there's a lot of people in the
13:55
world. They're lost. Yeah. You're
13:58
not lost. No. I
14:00
just say as soon as I got the ambulance, I fear
14:02
that I'm going to always save people. I
14:04
can't really just get out of the feeling. The
14:08
only thing I may be able to compare to it
14:10
is when my wife gives birth. That
14:12
might be the only feeling when I compare to getting the ambulance
14:14
and the kids. And we have just
14:17
beaten them up. If that's one of the best
14:19
feelings in the world getting your hand raised, can
14:24
it hit you feeling low
14:27
and shit in between those
14:29
moments? When you've got to get up at five in
14:31
the morning and it's freezing cold. Of
14:35
course. You've got to take the
14:37
bad with the good. But obviously the eight
14:39
weeks building into the fight
14:41
is a form of
14:43
torture. It is.
14:46
The eight weeks you put yourself through leaving into a
14:48
fight is a form of torture. But you
14:51
get on with it. That's how good
14:53
that feeling is getting your hand raised. You
14:56
do it all for that little... Do
14:59
that eight weeks of torture for that one
15:02
little feeling. As I say,
15:04
there's no feeling like it. You
15:08
said earlier about you like food and you can
15:10
put on a bit of weight. So obviously you're
15:12
known for having to do quite big cuts. What's
15:15
your biggest cut? My biggest
15:17
cut was years ago. I don't really do
15:19
big cuts anymore. Like nowadays I'll do like
15:21
10 pounds overnight. Which
15:24
is not much for an MMA fighter
15:26
to be honest. When
15:29
I fought a sted away I've done something stupid
15:31
like 18 pounds overnight.
15:34
When I was like 21, 22. Did
15:37
you have anything in the tank when you fought in the 50s?
15:40
I felt terrible. 4th and 5th round I just survived
15:42
and then I got into the cage. I
15:45
was just shaking my pulse out of the engine. Does
15:49
that not make you not want to blow
15:52
up in between? Blow up? I just love
15:54
food too much. I just love food too
15:56
much. I'm like Homer
15:58
Simpson. you could
16:00
become the best in the
16:03
world and still love
16:06
food that much because surely
16:08
foods that like the diet's a big part of... Yeah there
16:10
is, you'll see in the next few years when I get
16:12
to like teddy-tay when I asked to, you know what I
16:14
mean? But now I've still got a little bit of a
16:16
child's metabolism at the same time, so I can get a
16:18
wee bit of it. She's had my normal
16:20
in a few years, I might be in cable and stuff.
16:23
Yeah. Oh he's has to go vegan and that. Yeah I
16:28
think that's a no. A lot
16:30
of people are now getting back to meat
16:32
off being vegan. Yeah I've missed bacon too
16:34
much. Yeah. I've couldn't go vegan with meat.
16:37
It's not a main meal, don't you? No.
16:40
No. Can we have a little
16:42
bit of a... I mean my show isn't
16:44
really just about fighting. Yeah. About a lot
16:47
more than that. But can we have like
16:49
a fighting round? Yeah I thought I've prepared
16:52
it earlier for you. Right.
16:56
Just a little. Would
16:58
you take a fight purely for the money if it was a
17:01
shit fight for you? It
17:04
depends how much money. Ten
17:06
million. Yeah. You would. Even
17:09
if it was bad style, you were going
17:11
down not up. It
17:14
wasn't likely. Yeah. For ten mil. Yeah.
17:16
For five? No. No. Maybe
17:19
even more than ten actually. It depends if it's against as
17:21
well. If it's somewhere out of respect, then
17:24
yeah that wouldn't man like going up and doing
17:26
a different discipline and all that. Yeah. But if
17:29
it's a helmet like Jake Paul, then nah. You
17:31
won. I want my fifteen mil. Fifty. Something like
17:33
that. Yeah. But as I say,
17:35
you're the autonomy manager. Yeah. I'm just
17:37
sitting here talking and there's not what comes from you
17:40
ever. But does he not consult
17:42
with you? Yeah he would obviously but
17:44
actually that's true. Yeah. Alright
17:46
fine. So
17:50
which fighter do you respect the most? Either
17:52
past or present? One
17:55
of my favorite. I love fighters.
17:57
Big nog. My girl. But
18:00
then there's a lot that I've spoke to.
18:03
He's one of the nicest fellas ever. So good.
18:05
George King, he had a few times. He's
18:07
one of the nicest men I've ever met in my life. Never managed
18:10
to fight her. I
18:12
used to love watching UFC in the early days. Do
18:15
you remember Andre Alosky? Yeah. Did
18:18
you write him? Yeah, he's still fighting now. He's
18:20
had about nine hours. He's had
18:22
about nine hours. He did. Sure,
18:24
I had a lot of people actually can't say
18:27
it. Yeah, he got films and
18:29
everything, didn't he? Yeah, he's a
18:31
legend, I lost. Yeah, guy
18:33
must be in what, 40s now? Yeah,
18:36
I think he is. As a heavyweight though, it's
18:38
not as bad. You can fight up to that age. How
18:41
come? Because the last thing
18:43
you lose is your power. Right. And the
18:48
worst thing that happens is speed anyway. I mean, that's
18:50
the first thing you lose. Then at the least. You
18:52
lose your speed, yeah, and after the slower. So heavyweight,
18:55
you should have noticed some of
18:57
them stay fighting for like four years. And then I...
19:01
That does not sound good for your brain. No, it's
19:03
probably not like... Yeah. ...for... ...you
19:05
do it. Yeah. Do you ever think
19:07
about when you should quit,
19:10
bearing in mind, look
19:13
at like, I know quite a lot of boxers,
19:16
and by the time they're 50, they can't
19:18
even talk. Yeah. Even like amateurs
19:20
who've had 12 fights, they just can't talk.
19:22
They just... You need to
19:24
take a lot more head damage and boxers and
19:26
all. Right. You take a lot more head damage.
19:29
Yeah. And it isn't focused
19:31
on the air than the body, you know what I
19:33
mean? We have a lot more targets, and it's not
19:35
just straight and there's everything to grapple as well. And...
19:38
But do you think about, right, age
19:40
35, 40, whatever, get out? Nah.
19:43
I was saying this the other week, when people would say I'm
19:45
Tony Pearson to the tyre, no
19:48
one can tell you when to retire. It's
19:50
up to the person. Yeah. It's up to you when
19:52
you want to retire. So... And maybe you
19:54
don't even know until you wake up and like... No, you have
19:56
to. You wake up one day and you're like, oh yeah, I
19:58
can't do this anymore. Yeah. So... I've never put
20:00
a date on him, I've never... I
20:03
just once. Yeah. Do you plan
20:06
your life after fighting? No,
20:11
not just yet. Still got a good few years fighting
20:14
with me. Yeah. Not think
20:16
about... Because, you
20:18
know, okay, a few fights might get a commentary
20:21
job or whatever, but I
20:23
mean, a lot of sportsmen who
20:25
are almost near the top after their career is
20:27
gone, find it really hard. Yeah, I'll finally wait
20:29
for someone, don't worry about that. I've already said
20:32
this, I've had nothing to film or something. Just
20:35
like that? Yeah. Careful. Yeah.
20:39
Where did this self-belief come from? I
20:41
would not be that confident. I really don't
20:43
know, you know. I actually don't know
20:45
myself. Don't know where they come from, I'm just... So
20:49
you literally feel like, do whatever, I'll be fine,
20:51
it's all good. Yeah. When it comes to certain
20:53
things, I'm not all good at it, nothing to
20:55
do with... Other
20:58
things, no. Even films, you know you're... Yeah,
21:01
I can ask me. Right. Yeah. Does
21:04
anything scare you? Does
21:07
she? The ocean.
21:09
Yeah. The ocean's very scary. I
21:12
don't know what's down there. Well,
21:14
we're safe around here. Anything
21:17
else? Never
21:20
been scared in a fight? No.
21:23
Never. Some points of
21:25
being scared, it's just you and him. Yeah,
21:28
but I think fear isn't a logic thing, is it?
21:30
Like, oh, don't be scared, mate. Yeah,
21:33
if there was a shark chasing
21:35
you, or a tiger chasing you and a certain...
21:37
Yeah, not another human being, another man. Who
21:41
was born just like you were. Yeah. But
21:46
he had no special power. I don't know, you can say something
21:48
about him. Say what you want, about him, I don't care. No
21:50
trash talk's ever got under your skin. No.
21:52
No, lad. I've been called everything.
21:56
By my mates. I've
21:59
been called... well-wasting by my mate's time
22:01
will ever get called by anyone other person
22:03
so I don't have to
22:05
worry about her. Have
22:09
you got any beef with Mark Zuckerberg? He's
22:11
a lizard, innit? Where'd
22:14
you come up with these phrases? Sausage. Just as
22:16
a lizard. I'm a
22:19
actual big man. What's a disabled
22:21
two different accountants? I
22:25
mean, some of them are pictures I'll never get
22:27
back with. Pictures from years ago. Tavi
22:30
Gotham, sitting there somewhere. Would
22:35
you fight him for 10 mil? Yeah. Did
22:39
you see when him and Elon Musk were talking about
22:41
that? They can't do that, are they? No. I
22:45
need to go to a GJ2 tournament, what? Suck
22:48
a big does. So I can just have one. The
22:51
lizard. Stand at the side,
22:53
call him a lizard. Gosh,
22:55
I'd fall off and I'd get a sub. We
22:58
can't really go all that way. What's
23:01
your dream fight? Someone
23:07
in Anfield. What's
23:10
my dream fight like? Probably, you'd
23:12
have to say Connellog, because you
23:14
get paid more than
23:17
fighting anyone else by fighting him. You'd
23:19
probably have to say him. Do you think you could make
23:21
Connell fight at Anfield? Anything
23:25
can happen, not me. How
23:29
would you see you fighting Connellog? You
23:33
wouldn't want to give too much away. No,
23:36
obviously, you'd just put him on his back at home, put him
23:38
in. I
23:41
reckon a lot of people would want that fight. Do
23:43
they make it? You'll see in the future, you never know. Do
23:46
fights happen because a lot of people
23:49
want the fight? It can
23:51
work like that. But everyone
23:53
wants Tyson Fury, Anthony
23:55
Jock. Oh, OK. How's it different?
24:00
because Dana and Sean
24:02
Shelby and Miss
24:04
Maynard make the fights in UFC where they haven't got
24:06
to go through different
24:08
like managers in doctrine
24:11
and sort of between different managers with the they're
24:14
all just under the same banner. So
24:17
you get sent to contact with an email and you're
24:19
sent in and send it back. Would
24:22
you fight anyone? Yeah I don't see the
24:24
point in saying oh one fighter, one fighter,
24:26
that's a fun fighter in your teammates. Yeah.
24:31
Who's the greatest fighter of all time? MMA.
24:35
Sean Jones. I
24:39
can't see anyone else there. And
24:42
greatest fighter of all time, any
24:45
fighter, any discipline. Probably
24:48
have to say Sean Jones again. Lock
24:50
him in the room with anyone of any discipline. He's
24:52
gonna kill him.
24:55
Do you think, because I saw Joe Rogan talking about
24:59
yeah of course, Tyson Fury's never grappled
25:01
before. Do you think Tyson Fury
25:03
would beat him in a boxing match? Yeah, yeah
25:06
you do. Of course
25:08
he would. Yeah.
25:10
He barely beat Francis. Not a
25:13
mistake. No. So
25:15
like in a kickboxing match you're like, I
25:18
fight. Yeah. I mean he'd get his legs
25:20
up with him immediately. Yeah. And we didn't
25:22
even beat Francis, which is proper to say.
25:25
I thought that was just going to be a stupid fight.
25:27
And then I thought Francis won. Thought
25:30
it was six rounds. Well, for 10 rounds
25:32
I fight five rounds each and he
25:35
had enough down with me so I thought
25:37
Francis won. So
25:39
was that good for Tyson? I mean he would
25:41
have cleared a packet of money for that fight wouldn't
25:44
he? Yeah. But was it good for him? No,
25:46
I personally don't think it was. It made him look
25:48
a bit silly didn't it? And that is therefore the
25:50
risk of? Yeah, that's the risk of doing them
25:52
fights, yeah exactly. That's the risk of doing them fights
25:54
somewhat from a different spot. It's even not
25:56
like he beat him down. He hasn't gotten any credit for beating him down
25:59
because it was a good fight. was in
26:01
Gany's debut, Interventional Boxing.
26:04
Why do you think that happened? Do
26:07
you think he just didn't take it seriously?
26:09
I don't know, I've got a clue. That's
26:11
the only explanation. Like Tyson
26:13
didn't say him properly. Yeah. Well, you don't
26:15
know. We're not in his team, so.
26:21
No. Can you share who
26:23
you're fighting next? I don't know. 400-year-old.
26:25
I have no idea.
26:28
Do you know when is? No. No. He
26:31
bears pregnant, that's all. Yeah. I'll let it
26:33
after he's kids. And
26:35
then we'll see what
26:37
happens after that. We've got a few months of night feed
26:40
and that to do first. And
26:42
we'll see when I can fight. It'll
26:44
be the second half of your life.
26:46
And how do you feel if you take longer distance
26:48
between fights? Do you like that or not like that?
26:50
It'll be easier to make way to. Yeah.
26:55
And what would normally be your ideal time
26:57
between fights? Well,
26:59
I haven't seen fights a year. Yeah.
27:01
So, a little four months or
27:03
something would be perfect. But as I
27:05
said, it's one of them, 4th of December. I
27:08
got on the last card of the year, so I
27:10
got quite lucky. Yeah. And then now
27:12
it's all
27:14
about me wife and then once
27:17
she has the kids and we're
27:20
settled a little bit, then I'll
27:22
take the one I get on the
27:24
side. Yeah. Francis and Ghanu, Anthony
27:27
Joshua, what's your prediction for that? Well,
27:31
after Bach Francis, we
27:34
know that much of a close fight with Tyson
27:37
Fury. If they
27:39
just him guess close, he goes
27:42
down, doesn't he? Bach
27:45
BMA guy, Bach Francis and Tyson
27:48
Fury, you think, what's your prediction on that
27:50
one? Yeah. Yeah. And do you think
27:57
Fury and Anthony Joshua, they're going to be in the next
27:59
round? Do you think the Joshua will happen? If
28:03
Joshua wins and Fiore wins then definitely
28:05
going to happen, isn't it? We'll see.
28:12
Do UFC fighters get paid fairly, in
28:14
your opinion? Yeah, they get paid what
28:16
you wear. Why
28:19
do a lot of people moan about UFC
28:22
fighters don't get paid? Just your face contact when you
28:24
go in. When you face contact it's like 10 and
28:26
10, so people say you should get more of that.
28:30
I fought on that contact, lad. Two
28:32
fights on it, 10 and 10, 12 and 12. And
28:35
then got me in contact, got me paywars,
28:38
and started getting paywars' worth. That's
28:40
what you've got to do. Stand
28:43
up. I
28:45
think that's just the realism of most jobs. Yeah, work
28:47
your way up. What's
28:50
the weirdest interaction with a fan you've ever
28:52
had? Probably had a good few
28:54
weird ones. I've got the worst memory in the
28:56
world. Maybe that's because
28:59
you've been hit a lot at times. It could be.
29:01
Could be because you've been punched in the head plenty
29:03
of times. I
29:06
remember years ago outside the O2 arena,
29:08
before I was in UFC, when Molly
29:10
four years ago went to Fishel, I
29:12
swear. Some fell outside, I
29:14
asked me to slap him across the face. Did
29:20
you lean into it a bit? No,
29:23
I pulled out a bit. I didn't want to knock him out with
29:25
a slap. I
29:27
didn't do it as hard as I could, but he was still
29:29
made of. I was mad at
29:31
the video and saying, you want
29:33
me to slap you, don't you? So
29:36
we were getting no lawsuit coming through the post. He was
29:38
like, you want me to slap you, don't you? He was
29:40
like, yeah, I want you to slap me. I
29:43
was like, sound, just step back. It
29:45
was a bit of a mad one to me. I'm
29:48
not a slapping like maybe
29:51
I'm being a bit of a dad here,
29:53
but fuck it. I'll just say it. But
29:55
you know that slapping fighting
29:57
me. Yeah, that looks to
29:59
me. Fucking dangerous. Yes, mad. Like
30:01
the most dangerous. I wouldn't do it.
30:03
Nah. I wouldn't do it like,
30:06
no, I mean, I'm good for that. How has that
30:08
got sanctioned? I don't know. Because
30:10
these guys are going to have brain damage in like
30:12
three fights. It
30:15
is every life. They just stood there getting
30:17
slapped across the face. Some of them closed their
30:19
eyes and that as well, which is waste. The
30:21
ones you don't see coming, whatever. You should always
30:24
be looking like some of them have their eyes
30:26
closed. And mad. Yeah, I'd
30:28
never do that sports, obviously. Right,
30:30
yeah. I'd... Well, you
30:33
can't intelligently defend
30:35
yourself. I mean,
30:37
I'm good for that. Yeah, surely that's
30:39
going to get banned in the future. Doesn't look like
30:41
that, lad. It looks like it's making money and there's...
30:44
That's probably why it's not being banned. Yeah, it's getting
30:46
used, so it's one of them, innit? Fuck,
30:48
yeah. What's the craziest thing that's
30:50
ever happened to you in your whole life? Say
30:52
that one. You thought of something. I
30:56
was like... I
30:59
went missing in Croatia for like 48 hours. Do
31:02
you know why you went missing? Can you remember?
31:05
Yeah. What happened? I was just
31:07
went missing. What happened? I turned up. That's
31:10
probably the maddest thing
31:12
that's ever happened to
31:14
me. Can
31:17
we get a timeline of the 48 hours? I
31:20
fell in a cactus in there. I
31:22
fell in a cactus. My bear was picking cactus out
31:24
of me for like nine
31:27
months. I'm not messing. I was just
31:29
embedded into my skin. I swear.
31:32
I was like shutting off a cartoon. I
31:34
was running down the hill, myself, and
31:36
I went like that. I landed on a cactus.
31:38
I swear. Thought it
31:40
had been bit by a sneeze out of the noise. I went
31:43
like... I was like, what? What the...
31:45
They have cactus in Croatia? Yeah. This little
31:48
island full of... I don't know. I don't
31:50
know. This little island full of... I
31:53
don't know. Cactus man. That's
31:57
one of the most painful things, haven't it?
32:00
It might be like getting punched in the head, doesn't
32:02
air that much anymore. Because you've
32:04
experienced worse. Yeah, because I've experienced worse. A lad
32:06
falling out of cactus. Not
32:09
messing up for a bandit, I'm on slower overs. Like
32:12
I said, I'd lie down on the bed, he'd be picking bits
32:14
of cactus out of me. That
32:16
was just like embedded in me skin, underneath a
32:18
layer. So for 40
32:20
hours you were pulling cactus out of
32:22
yourself. Were there other things involved? There
32:24
was other things involved, yeah. That
32:27
was a mad one, that, you know. Great
32:29
though, funny looking back. Kind memories.
32:32
We had a few decent, all these when we were younger.
32:34
Yeah. Do
32:37
you drink less
32:39
now, your professional sports much? I don't really
32:41
drink that much, to be honest. I'm not
32:43
a big drinker. But if
32:45
I'm going out,
32:47
on a night out with my mates, I'll have a
32:49
few drinks, I'll have a few drinks. But,
32:53
nah, I'm not one of them, so just go
32:55
to pub. And I'll have a couple of pints.
32:57
No, yeah. So you've always had it
32:59
under control, something you've had to battle with? Eh,
33:02
nah, when I was younger,
33:04
I used to like going out. I'd go
33:06
into festivals and that, and all of me. I'm just going
33:08
and having a drink. I used to
33:10
like going to festivals and stuff like that. Yeah. So,
33:16
four in ten children in
33:18
Liverpool live in poverty. How
33:21
do you feel about this and what can be
33:23
done about it? I've done an updated thing as
33:25
well, that's funny. Yeah. Because
33:27
I understand... Four in
33:29
ten? Yeah. How
33:33
is that even possible live in a city this
33:35
big? Yeah. Do
33:38
you think... That's fairly odd. Yeah. Like,
33:40
how do you think this country
33:42
is being run, like, specially post-COVID?
33:46
Because I will get cancelled off YouTube for saying that word.
33:48
Eh, I
33:51
don't even like talking about politics, love. I'm
33:53
going to just do all the gang of cunts.
33:56
I'd be one of them. But
33:59
I think... I sometimes think like that. I
34:01
sometimes think focus on yourself in your own world.
34:03
Yeah. Make a change that way. And
34:06
I sometimes think, well, I'm not a fucking
34:08
politician, but it is our country.
34:10
Yeah. And there's no democracy because we don't
34:12
get to vote. No, there isn't like. And
34:14
it's been fucking ruined. And if people don't
34:17
start talking about it, nothing's going to change.
34:19
That's how I feel as well.
34:21
Yeah. I
34:23
just don't think you're ever going to change anything. But I'm told
34:25
he's like, I should be hate somebody. I hate, as you know.
34:27
Well, I mean, they're probably going to be out. Even
34:30
a lot. Like it's mad when you think about
34:32
the lady, the leader, the city. Doesn't
34:35
make any sense. No. Say
34:37
it to your spammer. You just say, how
34:39
can you be in charge of the lady party? You've
34:43
got a nice hood. Yeah. Just
34:46
doesn't make sense. But, you know, we'll
34:48
see what happens. You need
34:50
another election. Don't we have another one for years? And
34:54
so, am I
34:56
right in reading into this? It pisses you off.
34:59
But you don't really get into it. You just crack on with your
35:01
own life. Yeah. Yeah. Even though you're
35:04
a powerful guy and you could maybe make a difference. I
35:06
try to. You know what I mean? That's one of the reasons. The
35:09

35:14
mean? Santa goes back in that way. This
35:17
show is called Disruptors. And we always do a
35:19
Disruptors round. Just a few questions on that theme.
35:22
So, what's the biggest disruption that's ever happened in
35:24
your life? Probably
35:27
losing fights. When
35:31
you lose a fight, I think you can go with
35:33
bananas. I'll say that, nah. Probably want
35:36
to split up with the Mrs. for
35:38
the bit. Probably
35:40
go off the rails a little bit and she
35:43
keeps me on top. Was
35:46
the fighting and the intensity of
35:48
the lifestyle part of what made you split
35:50
up? Yeah, probably. I
35:53
was just a bit of a comfort. I was younger as well. About
36:00
five or six lose. I'm alive
36:03
that people can do that again,
36:05
Leaving him. And I mean. Three.
36:08
Two minute rounds on front of a
36:10

37:58
equals get him box on Have
38:01
you ever had a fight camp? You felt
38:03
gone not that well and maybe dented your
38:05
confidence for the fight? Yeah,
38:07
I've had several fight camps.
38:11
Not every fight camp goes great.
38:13
A lot of fight camps. Normally
38:16
when I have a bad fight camp I have a better fight.
38:19
Why is that? I don't know. It doesn't make sense.
38:23
Is it maybe because you... Do you ever over train?
38:27
In the past, yeah. But now we look at
38:29
everything from the scientific point of view and like
38:32
Paul really do's me, SNC, coach, I'm a new
38:34
technician. I
38:38
have like a fitness band.
38:40
I mean he can check
38:42
me sleep, check all me time. He's always over there
38:44
with me. He
38:46
just lets me know, you need the rest of that. You don't
38:48
be doing anything else tonight. So... We
38:51
look at it from that point of view and I will
38:53
obviously tell you as you always just keep training until you
38:55
know I'm solid. What's
38:59
the biggest risk you've ever taken in your whole life? Not
39:02
trying to do UFC. Oh
39:05
you had a chance to? Yeah. And
39:07
you turned it down? How come? Just
39:09
did the offer me when I was 21 and
39:11
then again when I was 23, I was
39:14
23 and I said no both times. Because
39:20
I just didn't feel like I was ready. I was still
39:22
a kid. I mean I hadn't matured yet. I've
39:25
only just become a man about two years ago
39:27
now. So I'm made
39:29
of. Thinking about it
39:31
now is one of the best
39:33
decisions ever made but it's probably the
39:35
hardest decision at the time. Yeah. What's
39:39
the most brutal life lesson you've ever had? Probably
39:42
never go into a fight injured. Because
39:45
I thought
39:47
someone and I had a choke on in the first round
39:49
and I couldn't finish it because my arm was still injured.
39:53
And then he took me down for
39:55
four rounds and punched me in the face. So that
39:57
was probably the... Ah,
40:00
this last night I had to learn. Never
40:02
going to a fight in it. Because
40:05
I didn't. I literally
40:07
got a talk away from me. I
40:09
was there. Yeah. What's
40:12
the most disruptive thing anyone's ever said or
40:15
done to you? Been called all
40:17
sorts of. Anything ever really
40:19
got under your skin? When
40:21
people sing Hills, we'll just go for the match. When
40:24
they do what, sorry? Sing Hills, but song is the
40:26
match. I mean that one really does
40:28
get under my skin. You
40:31
go a lot to the game? Yeah, I had lots of punch on my
40:33
face at the time. Yeah. We
40:38
are those. Yeah.
40:42
Right, we also have a quick fire round. Let's
40:44
do this. Would you take 1
40:46
million cash or 1 million
40:48
engaged social media followers, which one and why? Hm?
40:53
Obviously. You're looking at
40:55
me like that's a shit question. Obviously
40:57
I'm taking a million cash. Why
40:59
obviously? Because anyone
41:02
who takes a million and engaging on social
41:04
media is a fucking helmet. That's
41:06
why. He's a fucking idiot. I'm at about 12. What's
41:09
at about 12? At about 12. Oh,
41:12
about 12. Yeah. Right. But
41:15
you could monetize a million followers.
41:17
What, you got more than a million followers? Yeah.
41:21
You could do a brand deal. I haven't got a million-pound cash. Someone
41:24
wants to give me a million-pound cash. No, I
41:26
mean, I'm here. Anytime.
41:30
Come round to ask. Alright.
41:36
Does money make you happy? No. Why
41:39
not? To be
41:41
the richest man in the world. I'd be
41:43
the loneliest person ever. I
41:45
don't think money makes you happy at all.
41:47
But couldn't? Obviously you couldn't buy short
41:50
spare for happiness with money. But
41:52
not long-term happiness, no. But
41:55
if you're always broken, struggling for money, is
41:57
that not the opposite of happiness?
42:00
No, it
42:02
depends if you've got around you. Definitely.
42:06
Money comes and goes. Family
42:08
and that don't. What's
42:10
your biggest pay day? What
42:12
is my biggest pay day? Yeah, most of you have
42:14
been paid in one deal or one site. Don't
42:17
know, we have to ask my manager. What's
42:19
his biggest pay day? Yeah,
42:24
family of the bar still deals when they
42:26
got there. How
42:29
much? Seven
42:32
figures. A million pounds it was
42:34
over two years. Did you
42:36
enjoy doing that? Yeah, I did. Oh,
42:39
that's good. Yeah,
42:41
because a lot of people talk down sponsors.
42:43
I remember I interviewed Jackie Stewart, the
42:46
famous... Joffee of
42:48
the Formula One. Yeah, and he said, I've had
42:51
Rolex as a sponsor for 35 years and I loved
42:53
them. I just
42:55
thought it was nice that instead of just taking
42:57
sponsors' money and... I
43:00
can't talk and shit, you actually have a good relationship
43:02
with the sponsor. That's how it should be. It is.
43:04
It always should be like that with the sponsors. I'm
43:06
still not sponsored by them but we still have a
43:08
good relationship now. It's the way
43:11
it should be. What's
43:15
the best advice you ever received or
43:17
that you can remember? I
43:20
definitely had something for this. Someone said something to
43:22
me. I
43:24
can't think. I have to come back to that. That's
43:27
what's happening here, don't sign the drink. Something. Yeah,
43:30
we'll come back to that. Okay. What's
43:32
the worst advice you ever received?
43:35
I get it every day on the internet. Couldn't
43:38
we call that a drive? Oh, and
43:40
they all try and give you life. Yeah, people,
43:42
I'm sure supporters try and give you advice. Yeah.
43:46
I shouldn't have done this when you were fighting Tony Ferguson. What?
43:52
Someone takes all the lactation
43:54
from Milton Keynes, saying it
43:56
then. But, you
43:58
know, you get on with it. used to,
44:00
that's just an everyday thing, people can give
44:02
you advice and say stuff to you. What's
44:07
your biggest regret? Doing that fight
44:09
when I was injured. Yeah. Got a loss on
44:11
me record, I got paid like, I got money for
44:14
it which is good in the long
44:16
run but yeah, probably
44:18
wouldn't have done that fight when I was going to the 5th injured.
44:21
I lost because of that, I'm good at one.
44:24
Do you think it's good though? I mean I know I'm sure every
44:27
fighter doesn't want a loss on their record. Yeah,
44:29
obviously everything happened to the reason, it made me the
44:31
man I am today. I wouldn't, because
44:34
that was the fight where I lost and then I went into
44:36
a deep depression and I did
44:38
contemplate all sorts of different things so
44:41
without that fight I would never have had them hardships.
44:44
And was it because of the loss? Yeah,
44:47
they all started from that. Yeah.
44:49
And why do you think you spiralled down? Because
44:55
I had an injury before that, I got surgery
44:57
on the 10th of May on
45:00
my aunt on the 4th on the 1st
45:02
of September so
45:04
my aunt wasn't really recovered so I just felt
45:07
I didn't want to pull out of the show, the show
45:09
was relying on me, it was in the arena, felt like
45:11
all the lads wouldn't be able to fight if I pulled
45:14
out he'd just cancel the show so I
45:16
was just done the fight anyway even though my aunt was still
45:18
tough. I
45:20
thought less
45:22
than four months before
45:25
after I'd had this done and
45:27
obviously I was still wearing the splint
45:29
when I was training on that so
45:33
I went into the fight, I had them in
45:35
the arena to choke on the first round for
45:37
about three minutes and if
45:40
the other aunt was underneath he would have went to sleep because
45:42
it was that arm and it had no strength in it, I
45:44
couldn't finish it and then I gasped,
45:46
I broke my hand again in the second round
45:48
and then it dominated 3, 4 and 5 and
45:50
he beat me on the 2nd and
45:54
just because the wire happened I
45:58
was that close and winning. I don't
46:00
know what I mean. That's close.
46:03
And then that's what happens in this
46:05
sport. I'd get stuff away from you. And
46:08
obviously I broke my hand again. I
46:11
couldn't fight. I had to show
46:13
the one that was there, that was September. Obviously
46:16
getting called all hands on the Internet and everything. And
46:19
then I had to wait until like
46:21
the next October. I had to get
46:23
surgery again in
46:25
like the March or something. Or
46:27
in January, I can't even remember. I got surgery again
46:29
though. I had two surgeries on this
46:31
one. I
46:34
come back the next October or
46:36
November, like 14 months later. And
46:39
the opponent missed weight by 10 pounds. Which
46:42
you could lose in a day. Which I didn't that so I didn't
46:45
end the fighting. Yeah. I
46:47
didn't end the fighting until March
46:49
with no crowd. Before
46:51
the weekend the Covid restrictions were
46:53
frozen. What was your
46:55
last point, your last moment? Every morning.
46:59
Every morning I'd wake up after that. Even
47:01
like the week after the fight
47:03
obviously you're still thinking about the
47:06
fight. But then even after that
47:08
weeks later when me missus was getting up and going
47:10
to work. And I'd just roll over like 8 in
47:12
the morning. I'd just start crying. Start
47:14
crying my eyes out. Just be like, what? You're
47:17
finished? Like saying
47:20
stuff like that. I'm like, don't do that.
47:24
And can you remember a moment where you
47:26
turned it round? Was there... I
47:30
had to
47:33
speak to someone. Obviously I spoke to...
47:37
I never spoke to anyone about it. Just clued
47:40
up with it. I didn't want to mention
47:42
to anyone. I finally mentioned to one of
47:44
my mates. And he said, get it off
47:46
your chest. I promised I had a
47:48
little... Told him
47:50
about it. Told someone else about it. I
47:53
had to stretch more and bulk up and I did. I
47:55
felt better. I had to say that so that
47:57
more people... people
48:00
would go out and be able to have the chest. I don't know if I'm
48:03
here. I have to get told to do it. Yeah. Well,
48:06
I've got something here that you said, and
48:09
it really went viral. And there's
48:12
a stigma in this world that men can't talk.
48:14
Listen, if you're a man and you've got a
48:16
weight on your shoulders, and you think the only
48:18
way you can solve it is by killing yourself,
48:20
please speak to someone, speak to anyone, people
48:23
would rather you cry on their shoulder than
48:25
go to your funeral. Yeah.
48:28
That's pretty fucking beautiful, those words are.
48:30
Stand by it though. It goes outside.
48:32
There's still people killing themselves now. But
48:36
I think I hope what
48:38
I said helped people, speak
48:41
to people. I mean, I've been to charity
48:43
dues and other nights and stuff like that since. And
48:45
I've had several people come up to me and say,
48:47
oh, what you said saved my life. And then just
48:49
one person coming up to me saying that makes it
48:52
worthwhile. Never
48:54
mind, several. Yeah. And
48:56
do you think it's particularly
49:00
with mental health issues as sort
49:02
of particular in men, do you think we're pretty shit
49:04
at talking about it? Yeah, it's just because we're like,
49:06
I don't want to bother him with that. I don't
49:08
know if we've got his own stuff going on. But
49:11
then at the same time, like if I start speaking to you guys,
49:14
then you start getting it off your chest and talking to me about
49:16
it. That's the good thing about
49:18
it. I don't know. Women do it
49:20
anyway. Sit and have a cup of tea and jangle and talk
49:22
shit that I was doing all night. No
49:26
comment. Sit there and have
49:29
a cup of tea and talk shit for hours. Just
49:32
talk shit about it. It was been for hours and hours. We
49:36
wouldn't really go to my meeting. Start talking about
49:38
it. Anyway, hopefully
49:41
men now will speak a little bit more
49:43
and mention this dummy at
49:45
the middle of the day. People will start talking
49:47
about it. That's just what I hope. And
49:51
people always say to me, oh, you're doing
49:53
amazing things, that's just
49:55
what anyone in my position should be talking about.
49:58
Anyone should be saying that. Yeah, it's
50:00
still the biggest killer of men Over
50:04
the age of what 22 is not one or
50:06
something like that. So aside between the age of
50:08
21 or 45 still the biggest killer Fuck
50:13
is that like forever or is that a more
50:15
recent thing that's happened? No, that's more recent
50:17
But I hold a pass quickly. I'm a someone
50:19
telling me that right? Why
50:21
do you think that? Obviously
50:24
as you mentioned before poverty plays a big part
50:26
in it for them ten children live
50:29
a pool of Going
50:31
up in poverty Obviously they're
50:33
gonna have mental obstacles going on. That's just
50:36
gonna keep spiraling I mean and then there's
50:38
obviously there's other ways of having I
50:40
know people who are like, it's obviously the
50:42
sports people The kid
50:44
here doesn't it's after you think it will and then
50:46
the end up spiraling that way And people who end
50:48
up losing the job losing weight they live only and
50:51
send up on the street There's
50:53
all sorts of things like that And
50:56
if you had like a tip or
50:58
a mental health Thing
51:00
to say that would just help people. What would
51:03
you say? Okay,
51:05
just just talk to someone anyone anyone
51:07
doesn't have to be a therapist. No
51:13
If you really don't feel like it don't
51:16
speak to me Speak
51:18
to someone's better than Chilling
51:21
me on the other side, you know, I
51:23
mean yourself or taking all the pills Yeah,
51:26
so you did you have a friend? Did you reach out
51:28
to a friend or did they notice something was up with
51:30
you and they said are you alright? I did And
51:33
then I can't even remember to honest of a sitting
51:36
like this just chill and watching something We
51:38
just started talking about it. I don't know if he mentioned it
51:40
to me. I'm Yeah But
51:43
like obviously you feel we've mentioned it to you
51:45
that your wife or the other that I don't
51:48
want to mention That's obviously you mentioned to him
51:50
first. That's why I felt And
51:53
do you find yourself now just checking in with
51:55
your mates that they're okay? Yeah. Yeah, cuz sometimes
51:57
that's all it takes. Yeah, it is I
52:00
thought of this. We
52:02
have a group chat, so most of the time, until
52:05
someone gets lettered in and they leave. And
52:08
then you've got to start getting on people on the side of the
52:10
chat. Yeah. What
52:15
would you like your legacy to be? How would you like
52:17
to be remembered? I'd
52:19
like to just be remembered as a nice person. First
52:23
and foremost, he was sounding. He
52:26
was sad and not a major. Just that. He
52:28
was sad and as long as people
52:30
don't think of
52:37
us as cunts, I'm
52:39
happy. And
52:42
then what about your fighting
52:44
legacy? As
52:46
I say earlier, I want to bring my UFC to
52:48
my field. That's my goal. I'd probably rather bring my
52:50
UFC to my field than bring a UFC title. Have
52:53
you ever talked to Dana about that? No.
52:57
But we'll see. We'll see what happens in the future. I
53:00
wouldn't want to be the fourth English person to
53:02
win a UFC title. I want to be an
53:05
advisory to face persons winning a UFC round field.
53:07
Yeah. UFC, where do you
53:09
think it's at right now? In its journey,
53:11
obviously, it was underground. It blew the fuck
53:13
up. Where do you think it is now?
53:17
It's a bit of a mean scene now. Can't
53:20
get much more mean scene. Do
53:23
you think it's not getting affected by
53:25
lots of breakaway competitive? No,
53:28
not really. UFC is still
53:30
the number one promotion. There always will
53:32
be. You're not really
53:35
seeing faces leaving UFC to go see these
53:37
other promotions unless they're old.
53:40
This has been Epic. Thank you very much. Where
53:50
do you think it's at right now? In its
53:52
journey, obviously, it was underground. It blew the fuck
53:54
up. Where do you think it is now? Mean
53:57
scene now, isn't it? Can
54:00
I get much more mainstream? Do
54:03
you think he's not getting affected
54:05
by lots of breakaway competitive? No,
54:08
not really. UFC is
54:10
still the number one promotion there always will
54:12
be. You're not
54:15
really seeing faces leaving UFC to go with
54:17
these other promotions unless they're old.
54:21
This has been Epic, thank you very much. Appreciate
54:24
it, Slice. Thank you very much. Thanks a
54:26
lot. Thank
54:30
you.
