Welcome to Episode 68 of “The Auld Triangle” Irish MMA podcast, hosted by Ian O’Neill, Caoilte de Barra, and Andy Stevenson.

Ahead of the biggest fight of Paul Hughes' career, Andy took a trip up to Fight Academy Ireland to get an inside pulse on his training camp. Coaches Liam Shannon and Pat McAlister, long-time training partner Rhys McKee, and main sparring partner Scott Harvey all join The Auld Triangle live from West Belfast.

Additionally, Ian, Caoilte and Andy discuss Hughes' matchup vs AJ McKee Jr at PFL Saudi Arabia, recap Will Fleury's thunderous performance in front of 59,000 fans at Oktagon last week, and look ahead to a busy few weeks in Irish MMA!

Every Dylan Tuke interview is must watch/listen, but this just might be his greatest yet:

🔹His decision to retire, the conflicting feelings, and the struggle to come to terms with it ending.
🔸The impact his Nanny/Ma had on his life, and the grief he’s experiencing since losing her.
🔹Contemplating becoming a trauma counselor to help children.
🔸Starting MMA as a bullied child
🔹The original label of “The next McGregor”
🔸Brain trauma in MMA
🔹The Adam Ventre war
🔸Dealing with loss in front of a sold-out 3Arena
🔹Career mismanagement
🔸The brutal state of pay in MMA

And much much more.

A special episode of The Auld Triangle to say goodbye (at least for now) to “The Nuke”
