We managed to grab a chat with the Irish MMA star Cathal Pendred ahead of his UFC Fight Night Stockholm bout against Gasan Umalatov. Take a look…

Cathal Pendred is currently getting himself ready for his fight against the ‘Russian Cobra’ Gasan Umalatov and part of that preparation involves talking to various media outlets for hours at a time, but all that talking can take its toll on a person. Just take a look at what the Dublin man had to say on Twitter at the end of his long media day…

Just finished nearly 8 hours of interviews for the media day promoting #UFCStockholm and I feel like how Gunni looks. pic.twitter.com/OEMrHXddVM — Cathal Pendred (@PendredMMA) September 3, 2014

During our chat, Cathal discussed the rise of MMA in Ireland, along with who he thinks would win in a fight between himself and Conor McGregor. We also got to hear about what happened to THAT dolphin which Cathal rescued from the sea at Doonbeg back in April this year… Gunnar Nelson and Cathal Pendred are both in action on the UFC Fight Night card in Stockholm on October 4^th. The card is live on BT Sport, which is only available in the Republic of Ireland as part of the Setanta sports pack. New subscribers can sign up for the Setanta Sports pack for just  €1.
