KOTB Interview with Murphy MacManus

Fighter profile of Murphy MacManus by

Hey Murphy, thanks for joining us between sessions at The Pit in London, how are things going up there?

Good, my coaches and training staff are working with me to round out my game, make me a better fighter to get to greater heights in my career. They work hard to drill in the idea, ”you’re only as good as your next win” into my mind. 

You’ve been with us since KOTB 2 and you’ve looked better and better each fight. Have you been happy with your development and performances so far?

Yes and no, I’m very happy with the success I’ve had, but I’m a very competitive person, and I always feel I could have won, faster, better. 

Your next challenger, James La Grande, is a recent signeee has been calling you out since he joined KOTB. What are your thoughts on him?

I've heard about him from my training partner Ralf Jones when they both competed in La Grand Promotions. He’s a very talented fighter, but I don’t plan on losing this early in my career, if he wants to bang with me, let him.

The night of your fight is also Halloween, or ‘Dia dos Fiéis Defunto,’ as it’s celebrated here in Brazil. Does that hold any significance to you? Are you superstitious at all?
 
Not superstitious at all, I believe in my technique, strength, and skill and what they can get me as I climb the P4P to number 1.
