JRE MMA Show #30 with Sean O'Malley & Tim Welch

sugar
three two one and we're live
sugar sean and uh tim welch your friend that you brought with you here today
friend teammate coach
brother from montana montana people it's good it's good place yeah it is but
for what we do
it's not the best place yeah how much training can you get in montana it's not
not the best spot like
when i was there uh two years ago pheasant hunting with anthony bourdain and
that guy is such a maniac
he trains everywhere he goes every day and he found some club some local jujitsu
club in montana
in bozeman he was rolling with people brian deets yeah bozeman's probably one
of the better places
to train but the one thing good about being from montana is when we're in phoenix
it's like a big
process getting a fight sugar how many amateur fights you have yeah i had 14 mma
fights amateur
mma fights four kickboxing couple boxing it was every weekend in montana yeah
so montana people
just angry just want to fight you can just like to fight you can sign up that
week and fight so you
can get a ton of fights no commission no commission oh that's good so it's a
manly place that montana
yeah it is it's quite manly i mean you guys have grizzly bears and shit lots of
elk grizzly bears
wolves you know i was there uh two summers ago i went and just was like man i
need to figure out a
way i'd spend more time here i was in bozeman oh yeah fuck man it's beautiful
hell yeah it's fucking
stunning yeah i definitely want to i enjoy being away from there right now just
because i grew up there
right um being in phoenix is like i wouldn't i don't want to be anywhere else i
love being in phoenix
the training there's insane yeah where we're at phoenix is like the fucking mecca
man like we get
to train with augusto mendez to quino every day like he beat hoffa mendez he
beat cabrino he beat
ryan hall he's yeah beat all these people and almost every mile there's a
really good gym like boxing
gym jiu-jitsu gym wrestling gym henry sudo has a club there the mma lab with
john kraut's like
where we train yeah there's killers everywhere yeah that's one of the best
spots in the world for
sure phoenix is uh there's a few hotbeds for mma obviously la is a big one miami
is a big one
phoenix is a fucking huge one too though yeah the lab like it's it's a
different type of gym than a
lot of other gyms i haven't seen many gyms like stay together and i think a big
reason is because of
john crouch he's like one of the best facilitators out there he keeps everyone
together if you don't show
up to practice he'll text you and say hey where are you at we got to get our
priorities straight and
like he really holds everyone accountable and i think that's why it makes it a
really good strong
place yeah he's one of my favorite coaches he's uh he's just a super no-nonsense
guy never blows
his own horn not looking for any attention and absolutely knows his shit like
when you hear him
in the corner he knows his shit yeah he's good to have there in the corner man
he just uh be the leader
kind of of everything and look over everything and like he brought up benson
from when he was a small
like just starting so it's like we're lucky to be able to learn after that and
then be around benson
in the room like he's got a work ethic like no other like is no other still
joining the military
i heard he was thinking about joining the military i think he's too old now is
he yeah i don't know
i've heard about that too how old what is the limit i thought you could join
the military like
up to like 36 or something once you get across a certain age they have to make
an exception for you
i'm sure he'd make that exception yeah he's an animal he's a fucking beast yeah
so we're lucky to be
around him like the work ethic he brings in the room is like no other like two
and two wrestling
drilling i feel like he'd break any man on this planet like he'll put the pace
on you and it's it's pretty
cool to learn from we're lucky to see it every day yeah i mean that is one of
the most important
quali like there's a bunch of important qualities in a fighter right um being
able to perform under
pressure uh creativity creativity is but i think that's one of the ways places
that you excel you really
excel in creativity like when i watch you fight i'm like this kid's fucking
around out there like
you're having fun you're flowing you know when you were telling me today we
were uh doing a little
practicing you were saying that you were doing some stuff in fights where you
just thought of it
like why you're doing it just felt like doing it like there's people that can
do that and there's
people that never do that right you know when they're in the fight they're
tightened up and
they're fucking sticking to the script and maybe even sticking to like the real
basics you know
like barely even speaking in sentences right i think i think a lot of people
think too much when
they're in there and it's easier to say um i feel like when i'm in there i'm
reacting i'm letting my
letting all my training take over i'm not really thinking i'm just reacting to
what they're doing
and i think that it helps me do what i've been doing is just reacting to
certain situations and
i just feel like i'm on a step ahead of them whoever i'm fighting i feel like i'm
a step ahead of them
he's really good at like the greater the chaos the calmer he becomes and that's
the that's the truth
the bigger the brighter the lights are the more he's shining and completely
calm and before that last fight
against uh andre we watched probably four of connor's fights right before we
walked to the arena
and sugar's sitting there zoning in on those fights watching the way he walks
out watching the way he's
good with his energy smart with his energy and uh you can really see it in the
fight the way he mimics
them and sugar can watch someone someone do something and he can do it right
away it's a really cool talent
yeah before the last couple fights um before we go to the arena we just throw a
fight pass watch connor
watch him walk out watch just watch him his body language and connor's he's the
man i love connor i've
always loved connor since since i remember watching his first fight against
what was his first like
max holloway was that his first one in the ufc in the ufc yeah i remember
watching him i'm like that
dude's gonna be good i think that was his first fight he blew his acl out in
that fight maybe that
wasn't his first i don't think it was image no might have been marcus bremmage
yeah was it yeah
he stopped he stopped bremmage and then he blew his acl out i want to say in
the first round against
holloway and he started controlling him on the ground and taking him down but
that was a very young
max holloway too you know you're dealing with holloway when i think he was like
20 or something
yeah he was young yeah super super young he's a beast fuck he's a beast max is
all he's cool i remember
he came down to the lab once i didn't we just kind of played around spar but he's
i'm excited for
that he's fighting ortega next july 7th yeah yes very i'm very excited about
that i'm hoping i can
get get in there hope we can get some tickets that's gonna be sweet yeah dude i'll
hook you up he's
he's fascinating to me uh max because he's just this guy that like i knew he
was really good and then
he's kept getting better and kept getting better i'm like where's the ceiling
on this guy and then you
saw in the aldo fight when he beat aldo the first time and then the second time
the second time
you're like jesus christ like you you you really don't know how good a guy is
like you see them
in a fight and you go wow he's really good but then you don't see him for a
while and you're like
is he better has he slipped is he is he training hard like where is he at like
you don't know until
you see him again and then when i saw him in that second aldo fight i'm like jesus
he's so much better
than he was before he he yelled at the end of the first round he looked over at
us and he goes the man's
tired like at the end of the first round i was like jesus he was awesome and
aldo was throwing
bricks at him he was really throwing hard in that first round to try to like
establish some distance
at all i mean hit him with some shots but he i mean he hits hard but he didn't
rock him you know
how many times has max lost he's only a lot well in the ufc um he lost to dennis
bermudez
connor somewhere early in his career he lost to connor i think he only has two
or three losses in
his career three three losses who are they two does it say and dustin poirier
dustin poirier
when did he lose to dustin his first one 2012 oh yeah it's good i love watching
him fight that fight
against gachi i was i watched it live that was whoa that was crazy he's a good
i thought that was
kind of gonna how how that was gonna go he's gonna outbox him he was throwing
some good combos
justin's leg kicks are a motherfucker but he takes too many shots he's just he's
so intent on breaking
people and just keeping that pressure on you that i mean he's a fucking really
good wrestler oh yeah and
you never see any of it in his fights i think he posted something that he's
gonna kind of switch up
game plan a little did he say that yeah i think he did but then he also said he
might only have five
more fights left well if he fights that way yeah i mean he's just he's just
fucking chaos it's just
he's a berserker but it's so fun to watch him it's like you don't want to say
anything to him pure
entertainment you know i mean fuck yeah he's the eddie alvarez fight and the
dustin poirier fight
but they're so similar in a way that he like almost gets the guy with his leg
kicks almost breaks him
with those leg kicks and then he got caught but it worked in the michael johnson
fight so it's like
when you see it in the michael johnson fight when you see like johnson's leg
just starting to give
out we watched luis watch him fight luis palomino in uh lfa was it lfa it was
uh world series that's
right we watched that he's gnarly to watch live and he kicks low from real
close man drainer it's a lot
of power yeah he's like he's literally tying up with you and he's chopping down
with low kicks he's got
real loose hips with that you know he's able to really bend his body and chop
down nice tight
high guard waiting for him to come in he fucks people's legs up man he does he's
tougher and shit
it's crazy when you see guys like that like when they start to get beat you
wonder if they're going
to start use those losses as informative or demoralizing start to define
themselves and then
start questioning themselves that's why with sugar in training and in a fight
even in training like
he'll find the toughest guys to go with and he won't go with those guys and be
like oh they're better than
me and start to find himself we'll just use it as informative and learn from it
so it's like
it's another good mentality he's has super positive good mentality and i think
a lot of that comes
from eating good and having the right rest and hydrating and eating good year
round not just eating
good during fight camps and blowing up and i think that's a lot to do with it
for sure living the
lifestyle just eating healthy like you said all year round not just getting
healthy for six weeks
and then eating like shit after and getting injured once i really started
learning about
eating healthy a ton of small little injuries went away my back would hurt
every morning what were
you doing wrong before like what were you eating pop tarts like sugar fucking
just anything shitty i
didn't know hot pockets top ramen any all that stuff that i was just raised
eating you know and once i
started realizing what that stuff's doing to my body and how i could feel it it
changed changed my whole
mindset and like eating healthy was one of the biggest things that improved my
skills as a fighter
i feel like just as far as my mental thoughts um my training sessions were so
much better were you
just saying that you eat a l
