Kameron Nancoo FIGHT TALK WITH YOUR BOY THE WHATS NEXT KID interview

In the Kameron Nancoo FIGHT TALK WITH YOUR BOY THE WHATS NEXT KID interview, the 16-year-old amateur MMA fighter said he expected to move from 1-0 to 2-0 at CUFF 24 on November 21 in Trinidad. Nancoo discussed his preparation at Bazooka Kickboxing, why he would not predict a finish and what it means to fight where his family is from.

What did Kameron Nancoo say about his next fight at CUFF 24?

Kameron Nancoo said he knows a little about his CUFF 24 opponent but is preparing for more than the skills the opponent has described. He identified Taekwondo and jiu-jitsu as part of what he had heard, while stressing that an amateur fight calls for readiness rather than a plan built around limited information.

Nancoo described himself as a 16-year-old MMA fighter with a 1-0 record. He expected to reach 2-0 at the November 21 event in Trinidad, but did not offer a detailed account of the opponent or claim to know how the matchup would unfold.

His preparation includes boxing as well as the techniques he trains at Bazooka Kickboxing. Even with an opponent who has described a striking and grappling background, Nancoo said his approach is to be ready for anything. He treated the information available about the matchup as useful, not as a reason to narrow his training.

How is Kameron Nancoo training for CUFF 24 at Bazooka Kickboxing?

Kameron Nancoo said his training can run three to four hours a day outside fight week, before shifting to lighter, hour-long sessions as the bout approaches. That change is part of a week that also includes managing his weight and traveling to Trinidad, rather than a sign that preparation has stopped.

Training before fight week

At Bazooka Kickboxing, Nancoo said the coaches keep the fighters sharp and take the work seriously. He described the gym as a strong MMA environment, despite its kickboxing name, and said his sessions address takedowns, takedown defense, boxing and kickboxing.

Asked about the final stretch before the fight, he pointed to videos he had posted on Instagram showing fight week for his previous bout. His account of that routine was straightforward: train hard beforehand, then ease the daily workload when the fight is close.

Fight week and the flight to Trinidad

The shorter sessions allow Nancoo to keep drilling while he cuts some weight and water-loads. He acknowledged that the flight to Trinidad would affect this fight week, but remained confident in the plan. He did not give a target weight or disclose how much he intended to cut.

What is Kameron Nancoo’s game plan for CUFF 24?

Kameron Nancoo declined to predict a knockout or submission at CUFF 24. He said Bazooka Kickboxing has prepared him for striking and grappling, while his own priorities have been pushing his cardio and choosing tougher sparring partners rather than assuming the fight will stay in one area.

When asked what fans should expect from the matchup, Nancoo gave his clearest warning against making a prediction:

They shouldn't expect anything because that's how you get caught, right?

He said people may see the name Bazooka Kickboxing and assume its fighters only kickbox. Nancoo did not want to reveal a specific tactic, but made clear that his training also covers takedowns and defense against them. His answer was about keeping his options open, not promising a particular finish.

Cardio and harder sparring partners

Nancoo singled out cardio as the area he had pushed hardest because he can control how much effort he puts into it. He also identified a change in his sparring: he said he had sometimes picked easier partners, but now chooses harder opponents in training.

He expects to be the smaller fighter and said he usually works with bigger opponents. For Nancoo, those rounds are another way to prepare for uncertainty. He wants to be able to handle an opponent who is stronger as well as one whose striking or grappling differs from what he expects.

Does Kameron Nancoo feel pressure before CUFF 24?

Kameron Nancoo said he felt no pressure ahead of CUFF 24 and expected to be as calm as he was before his first MMA fight. That surprised him because, in other sports, he had been accustomed to physical nerves before competing.

Nancoo recalled shaking before games and events when he competed in track and field and football. Given that history, he thought nerves would be a significant part of his first fight. Instead, he said he felt completely fine beforehand and expected the same response this time.

His confidence did not come with a prediction about the method of victory. Nancoo repeatedly returned to preparation and to the effort he can control. He wants to win and move to 2-0, but would not say that a knockout, submission or any other specific outcome was assured.

Why does fighting at CUFF 24 in Trinidad matter to Kameron Nancoo?

Kameron Nancoo said fighting in Trinidad matters because his family is from there and he wants to make a statement in front of people connected to that home. He had traveled to Trinidad for the previous CUFF event intending to compete, but did not get a fight on that occasion.

Returning after the previous CUFF event

Nancoo was at the last CUFF in Trinidad and had planned to fight there. When that did not happen, the chance to return for CUFF 24 took on a clear purpose for him: this time, he expected to step into the cage rather than attend without a bout.

He said he was glad to go back and fight in a place tied to his family. The prospect of seeing family friends adds to the trip, though he was careful to separate that from the work he is going there to do.

Family plans after the fight

People in Trinidad had plans for Nancoo after the event, he said, but he did not describe them in detail. His priority was to handle the fight first and decide what to do afterward. For him, enjoying the visit could wait until the reason for the journey was finished.

How is Kameron Nancoo handling his weight cut and Trinidad trip?

Kameron Nancoo said he needed to cut a little weight for CUFF 24, but declined to say how much. He described himself as not a big flyweight and said he was willing to face opponents who were bigger or stronger, while keeping the fight ahead of travel and other plans.

The cut forms part of the lighter fight-week schedule he described. Nancoo said he was water-loading and waiting for the cut; he also expected the flight to Trinidad to affect the week. Those considerations did not change his stated goal of arriving ready for the November 21 bout.

He did not present size as something he needed to avoid. Nancoo said he hoped his opponents would be bigger and stronger and would bring everything they had. That outlook matches his choice to work with harder, often bigger sparring partners at Bazooka Kickboxing.

Once in Trinidad, he expected to see family friends, but said the fight remained the main focus. Only after it was over would he turn to whatever else the visit brought.
