If you want to know what multitasking is, look at Andrew Fisher’s everyday.
The English MMA veteran started an interview, just put his two little girls after returning from another strenuous training session. Here is the reality of the military trainer for you.
“I am very, very busy,” Fisher told me. “I do all school runs every day: Wysetki, pick-ups. I take my children to the park as much as possible. I try to give all mine [students] So much attention and one -on -one time as possible, and then I still teach all the fighting classes.
“Of course, some of the younger guys who train just get up when they want, go to the gym and then [they play] At their Xbox, their mother makes food and sings them at night, and that’s all. But if I want to do something for myself, I have to get up at five in the morning, if I want to hit the pads or escape. “
Family man
Understanding a warrior is not an basic task. In fact, if you were not in their shoes, it is almost impossible. Andrew was lucky to find a person who understands him better than anyone else.
“We wife also competes,” he shared. “Currently, he is number one amateur in England, so he completely understands how it is, and we just try to lend a hand each other. […] He has children, I have time for training; I have children, he has time to train. Because there are school holidays in England at the moment, my two smallest girls who are six and four years aged, just sitting or running there [at the gym]. Today I paired and my two girls were just running, screaming. “
However, he is confident, despite how hard it is sometimes, will never change life. He thinks that this lifestyle gives him an advantage over the opposition, because no one else does what he does.
Often, for fighters, introducing children to the fight of sport becomes a sensitive object. And understandable that they know what is associated with the journey of martial arts, struggles and disadvantages. Andrew is no exception: he is not able to think that his children will be hit in his head in his career.
“I have a daughter who is 17 years aged, and a son who is also 14 years aged, and they had to train only twice a week,” explained Fisher. “And then they could play on the computer, do what they want, as long as there were these two classes. My son is still trying to force me to fight, but I don’t really want him. […] But I would prefer my children not to do it. “

“I’m not really a coach, I’m more of the team’s captain,” said the Englishman about dynamics in the action team (TFT). “I’ve always trained with everyone every day and I feel that I’m just one of the guys. I’m not really one of those trainers who just stand, watch and scream from the side. […] I won’t miss the session. “
Of course, with the arrival of the fight on September 13, some changes should be made. Fisher understands that he must be a little more selfish when he passes through his own camp. These are the rules of the game and you can’t do anything with them. Fortunately, TFT is able to function in these conditions thanks to the community that has built over the years.

Fisher thinks his way of thinking was not suitable for his last fights. Because he was bigger than most of his opponents, he just relied on a strenuous shot. In his mind this led to his last two failures.
“Perhaps I retired prematurely after my last fight, because I beat myself a bit,” he said. “I was a bit illustrated, what was my set of skills. […] I felt that I only needed one blow and the whole fight would change. So I just relying on it, but of course my last two fights that didn’t really work. I didn’t employ any of my other skill sets. “
Time away from the cage caused the English to thread the retirement. Refreshed and overloaded, he believes that he knows what to change in the future.
“In fact, it was nice not to think about these things and realize what my mistakes were,” said Fisher about his downtime. He spent a lot of time in front of the board, analyzing his performances and inventing a recent strategy.
“I feel better than ever [have]”Fisher announced before returning to Cage Warriors 193.” I feel smarter, I train more reasonably, I feel more competent, I feel stronger, so I just don’t understand why I NO to continue.”
Former
Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters Darren Till
and Yoel
Romero are set to collide in bare-knuckle boxing.
Till (18-5-1) and Romero (17-7) are set to meet in a light
heavyweight matchup at BKFC 94 on Sept. 26 in Manchester,
England.
Darren Till and Yoel Romero will meet in a light heavyweight
bare-knuckle bout on Sept. 26 in Manchester
Till parted ways with the UFC in 2022 on a three-fight slump,
promising to return to the promotion someday. “The Gorilla†then
won three boxing bouts under the Misfits banner, even winning the
title against Luke
Rockhold last year. The Brit then parted ways with Misfits
earlier this year to sign with BKFC, where he knocked out Aaron
Chalmers in his debut this past May.
Meanwhile, Romero has competed in various boxing, bare-knuckle
boxing and wrestling promotions since retiring from MMA in 2024.
“Soldier of God†earned a knockout win in his BKFC debut last year,
but dropped a decision at IBA Bare Knuckle this past March. The
49-year-old has since rebounded with a knockout win at Gamebred
Bareknuckle MMA in May.
Professional Fighters League CEO John Martin saw several
fighters make a statement at
PFL Washington D.C.
The PFL put on a show at CareFirst Arena in the American capital,
where Thad Jean
(12-0) and Ernesto
Rodriguez (11-2) fought for the vacant welterweight title in
the main event. Rodriguez accepted the matchup on 48 hours' notice
after Jean's original opponent, Shamil
Musaev, pulled out due to weight cut issues.
The PFL CEO believes Shamil Musaev deserves the next title
shot
Jean survived a knockdown scare in the second round and pounded out
an exhausted Rodriguez to earn a stoppage win in the third period.
Martin appreciates Rodriguez for stepping up to save the main
event, although the Cuban was originally supposed to fight Aaron
McKenzie on the same card. Martin also praised Jean for
accepting a sudden change of opponent and would like to see him
defend his title against Musaev next.
“Let's start with Ernesto… 48 hours ago, he was preparing for a
different fight,†Martin said in an interview. “We approached him,
we gave him a huge opportunity and right on the spot he recognized
it and he wanted to do it. And he fought a pretty courageous fight.
He wasn't training to fight someone who is 6-foot-2 and he also
wasn't training to fight five rounds. Which is a different level of
preparation. You could also say the same about Thad Jean.
Obviously, he came out on top and fought a great fight. But he was
training for Shamil, who is a completely different fighter… I would
like to see him do that fight with Shamil.â€
Martin notes that the event was a great night for African talent as
Nkosi
Ndebele defeated Brandon
Davis via a dominant decision and Eliezer
Kubanza made Chris Mixan
tap to a Brabo choke. He was also impressed with Rasul
Magomedov’s hard-fought decision win over Sullivan
Cauley and Rafael
Xavier's first-round buzzer-beater knockout of Tyson
Pedro.
“Tonight was a good night for PFL Africa,†Martin added. “We had
two African fighters represent, and both of them came out with
really, really stellar victories… And then Magomedov — that was a
close fight, and Cauley fought very valiantly… And Xavier, that was
impressive — also can fight standing up, fight on the ground.
These weight classes are still evolving, but you see nights like
tonight, the winners are really putting themselves in positions for
title contention.â€
What a night in DC!

Rizvan
Kuniev bagged his second win in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship, getting his hand raised at
UFC Abu Dhabi, but he isn't entirely content with his
performance.
Kuniev secured a finish against Tyrell
Fortune at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The back-and-forth
heavyweight clash was later awarded Fight of the Night, with both
heavyweights having their moments before the third-round
stoppage.
Rizvan Kuniev reflects on mistakes after Tyrell Fortune
stoppage at UFC Abu Dhabi
Fortune (18-4) proved to be a solid test for the Russian, who
eventually landed two back-to-back knees to prompt the referee to
intervene. Despite finding a finish, Kuniev (14-3) later admitted
that he expects more from himself moving forward, especially
considering his championship aspirations.
“Of course I made some mistakes,†Kuniev said in a post-fight
interview. “Because I rushed sometimes too fast into the fight, but
we will work it out and as my coach said, I'm on top now. Top 15,
you know. And you cannot make mistakes at this level if you want to
be a champion.â€
Kuniev is now 2-1 in the UFC after earning a contract on
Dana White's Contender Series. He lost his Octagon debut to
former title challenger Curtis
Blaydes before returning to winning ways against Jailton
Almeida.
“I want to be a champion.”
