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.
