00:05co-main event at the caseya center coming up this saturday down here in miami just spent some time
00:10with the miami heat yesterday he is patty the batty pimple pad thanks for the time man how are
00:15you i'm good thank you for asking how was the uh how was the game did you i saw you uh courtside
00:21yesterday how did you enjoy the experience at the basketball yeah it was good i enjoyed it
00:26it was a nice little night out did you uh was it your first basketball game
00:30no i went to a basketball game years ago in new york so what's the next when i was there visiting
00:36but um definitely my first time courtside and it's a much better experience what is the uh comparison
00:42so as as far as i know you you're a liverpool fan i feel like you guys have better fans over there
00:48as far as just like your chance your singing atmosphere like i know that you're right next
00:53to the flame throwers and there's a lot of uh stuff going on but what do you make of the
00:57comparison between a monster soccer match where you're from to an nba game yeah the football game
01:03is a completely different level to that nba game like it is just our fans our atmosphere that just
01:10next level compared to a basketball game like what is the thing that stands out most to you like why
01:17do you guys have that like embroiled in you so much because you guys are crazy you're singing songs all
01:21all that like at what age do you remember just becoming a monster soccer fan it's the passion
01:27only me we have passion for our team and our city but um i don't know i can't remember exactly it's
01:32my whole life really was it uh was it passed down uh was it friends like passed down from family
01:40do you remember like uh do you remember the like first memory of it is there is there anything that
01:45comes to mind just going to a match when i was a young kid and you were hooked from there on yeah
01:53man it was uh it was something but um going into the building yesterday do you have any feelings as
02:00far as like going in like you're just getting kind of the lay of the land of it or is it all just when
02:04you're at this point you put all the work in um is it just kind of killing time until you get to
02:09the fight week like what's this experience like for you this week yeah i've been enjoying my time
02:14here to be honest um we went to the basketball game uh the day before we had a little two hour boat ride
02:21um been going to the gym and training so just passing time at the minute you know all the hard
02:27work's done just all about to make a weight on friday and then i can enjoy some food what's the uh what
02:33is the the thing in in the lead up since we've last spoken about you know michael is there anything
02:38that you've felt in the preparation for this that has either changed for you or that you've picked
02:42up on them that you think is just like going to be the key to victory uh no we've always had the
02:47game plan we've got the strategy and we're going to implement it on a saturday night and get the
02:53finish from like your interactions with him what have you felt is it going to be his biggest
02:58miscalculation with you um i think everyone has the same miscalculation with me they underestimate me
03:05everyone still judges me i fight from years ago and don't understand how much i've improved
03:10because i remember like talking to you about the you know you feel like they're all kind of getting
03:15past their prime and and really for a fighter you're at that perfect age and that perfect bracket
03:20of like when you start taking over and feeling at the peak of your powers have you felt that like
03:25all the things that you've been through um can you just give me an example of why you feel like
03:29this is is is the most optimal you've been as a fighter yes i know everyone says it's very cliche
03:36but this really is the the best shape i have ever been and i've never been able to never hit so hard
03:43never been so fast i've never had this good cardio so everything's coming together at the right time
03:48and i should say the old guard of the lightweight division starting to get very old and i'm one of
03:53the new guy coming through that's going to take the place was there ever was there ever a time like
03:58with all the the the critics that you've had to deal with and all that stuff where did you find
04:02any of that stuff constructive at all or has it all kind of just been motivation as far as like
04:06now believe those guys i'm gonna i'm gonna show everybody that they're wrong no yeah obviously some
04:11of it's constructive criticism because some of the stuff i've done in the past hasn't really been
04:16um very ideal but it's it's motivation you know what i mean i love proving the hate is wrong and
04:27i'll continue to do it for the rest of my career got patty pimblett here he's going to be in the
04:30co-main event ufc 314 right here at the heat's house because he says and he just spent some time
04:35with the miami heat so patty uh as uh will happen with you you know you ruffle feathers i guess you're on
04:40a podcast you all you got all monster rookie and all upset with your words and now you know he's
04:46daring you to call him out what do you make of uh of his uh being upset at your words
04:50everyone hates the truth don't they only speak on the truth lad and he's uh got his knickers in
04:59it's first hopefully he doesn't uh put his pants again is this one of those things though like does
05:05that delight you when you actually do get them and you get the reaction of of the truth is is that
05:10is that something that just warms your heart yeah of course because it's funny he said the
05:15other day that he doesn't watch me or channel because we're not good enough and then he's
05:19responding to me if uh if it wasn't that good lad you wouldn't be responding to me would you
05:24how much do you expect everybody be calling you out after beating michael chandler because that's
05:28going to be the one that skyrockets you obviously and do you feel like that's going to
05:32come in even more waves than it usually does um yeah it could do but we'll just have to wait and
05:37see once i've won and uh from just from michael chandler uh one more before we get you out of
05:43here in this matchup do you feel like is this one of those where what his miscalculations of you the
05:49interactions that he's had with you do you feel like is there something about his game that worries
05:54you the most that you've that you had prepared for that you got to be right on to make sure that
05:59you do get the win yeah of course it's big big loop and punches you know what i mean
06:04them hail mary shots he throws you can probably knock anyone out but he's not knocking me out and
06:10i'm gonna i'm gonna style on him are you uh are you expecting a lot of people to come from from
06:16from england to come see you yeah i've got about 40 50 tickets myself for me mates and my family and
06:23that to come so i know there's gonna be a good few scousers there that's that's gonna be awesome i can't
