00:00Do you still have Nicolo Solli in your gym?
00:02Nicolo Solli, I talked to him, I'm supposed to meet him in Sardinia.
00:05Nicolo is a good training partner of mine, the Monkey King.
00:08Great man, we've got some incredible Italian fighters.
00:11Daniel Schiazzi and Valentina Schiazzi, brother and sisters.
00:15And we've got Nico as well in the gym.
00:17We've got a big Italian diaspora in our gym, SVG Ireland,
00:21and we love them dearly.
00:22They're great people and great fighters and great training partners.
00:26So shout out to our Italian fighters.
00:28What about Marvin?
00:29Marvin, is that the bald guy?
00:31I don't know, he's speaking a bit disrespectfully about me for whatever reason, I don't know.
00:35Is he in the UFC still or no?
00:37I think so.
00:38I don't know to be honest, I have not heard much about him.
00:41But you are in the UFC too.
00:42I'm in the UFC for sure, for sure, yeah.
00:44I'm also a bare knuckle if anyone wants it.
00:48I don't have a minute for any senior speaker in Spain.
00:51Do you think you will fight sometime in Spain, in Santiago Bernabeu, maybe in the UFC, maybe in a bare knuckle?
00:59Well, judging by what we saw today, which was a very high energy crowd,
01:05and a lot of excitement for the event,
01:07judging by what we saw maybe a week or two ago,
01:09in the Influencer Boxing where 80,000 people filled the stadium,
01:12the appetite for fighting and combat sport is big here in Spain.
01:17I'm not here for no reason, my man, you know.
01:20Maybe in Chapurria?
01:21Chapurria, boom, boom, boom, slap the head off him, no problem.
01:25No problemo.
01:27I'll slap him back to Georgia.
01:29Hello, Conor.
01:30We talked before in the press conference,
01:32but we thought you talked about what did you say,
01:36because all you thought started to go next, bare knuckle, I think.
01:43I just engage in things that have a meaning to me,
01:47that I am passionate about, that I enjoy,
01:49and I do a real deep due diligence.
01:53I won't back something or get involved in something that I don't believe in.
01:56I couldn't.
01:59My fans are not even almost like fans, they are like soldiers.
02:04They are like soldiers.
02:06It is like an army.
02:08So as a leader of an army, it would be foolish of me
02:11to ever put my name to something that wasn't of a high quality.
02:16So that's it.
02:17It has been a recipe for success for myself and my fans and my team,
02:21and long may it continue.
02:23I came out here with this bare knuckle crowd.
02:25Now I'm a part of it.
02:26I'm an owner, an investor.
02:28And look what we're doing.
02:29We're doing mega events here in an open air bullfighting arena.
02:32That is gladiatorial.
02:33That is like gladiator.
02:35This is the gladiator show.
02:38These are big things we get involved in,
02:40and it works.
02:41What about you?
02:42You have two fights.
02:43Two fights left on my UFC contract.
02:45And then you're taking off your gloves and enjoying that?
02:47Possibly, possibly, yes.
02:49Possibly.
02:50And any idea of what?
02:54One year, six months, two months?
02:56Well, I had my fight and it had to get postponed,
03:00but that's still going to happen at the end of this year.
03:04The talk is the end of this year,
03:05so I'd like to finish out the year with that.
03:08Then I've got one left.
03:09So we'll see what happens.
03:10After that, I'm going to see what's on the horizon.
03:14A burnt knuckle fighting world title sounds very, very exciting to me.
03:19So we'll see what happens.
03:20Talking about big crowds.
03:21Did you enjoy the Euro?
03:23Love the Euro, love the Euro.
03:25I backed Spain.
03:26Spain, what did you think about Spain?
03:27Amazing.
03:28It was like they were just playing with the opposition.
03:31Like you.
03:32Yes, exactly.
03:33It was like when sometimes a team scored against them,
03:36and they said, hold on, we'll show you what's what.
03:38And then boom, two goals in two minutes.
03:40And then 2-1.
03:41Seven wins out of seven.
03:43Incredible.
03:44Seven out of seven.
03:45It was absolutely incredible.
03:46And I backed them and I won.
03:47You know, I won with Jewel Bits.
03:48I won some nice money.
03:50So thank God.
03:51And you were betting on them from the first day?
03:53First day, I put 80,000 Euro.
03:56I think 83,000 Euro I put on them.
04:00And I got the odds at 11-1 on Jewel Bits,
04:03and I won about over a million dollars.
04:05Over a million Euro.
04:08What do you think about Spain and the national team?
04:13Well, Spain have always been very, very good.
04:16But they've never got, you know, to get to the win.
04:21And I just felt this was a different team.
04:25The young lad, the 16-year-old, I thought it was in God's hands,
04:28and they romped home.
04:30And I was correct back there.
04:34Why did you decide to bring Bare Knuckle to Spain?
04:39You know, Bare Knuckle to Spain,
04:41we have a Spanish fighter fighting for the world title, Franco.
04:45And he's an incredibly tough man and an incredibly skilled man.
04:50And, you know, we had an amazing arena,
04:52picked out an open-air bullfighting arena.
04:55It made sense.
04:56We bring Franco here, bring him home,
04:58bring him to a mega event, an open-air arena,
05:01get the Spanish fans excited.
05:03What played a factor, for sure,
05:05was seeing the success of a recent fighting event here
05:09in which a stadium was filled out, 80,000.
05:11And that's it, you know.
05:13You came out here to Spain, it all fits.
05:17What?
05:19I will be here October 12th, for sure, yeah.
