Matthew Harris FIGHT TALK WITH YOUR BOY THE WHATS NEXT KID interview

In the Matthew Harris FIGHT TALK WITH YOUR BOY THE WHATS NEXT KID interview, Harris discussed his 250-plus jiu-jitsu match at Scrap Super Fight 7 on November 22. He told the host he is adding weight training and prioritizing cardio for a large opponent with wrestling and submission skills. The event will be Harris’s first Scrap Super Fights appearance, and it will take place at his home gym, Triumph Fight Academy.

What did Matthew Harris say about his Scrap Super Fight 7 opponent?

Matthew Harris expects a demanding 250-plus match against an opponent he describes as big, strong and athletic. Harris sees himself in much the same physical category. After watching highlights, he is particularly aware of the opponent’s ability to take people down, though he has not watched one of his full matches.

A 250-plus matchup

Harris described the pairing as “two big boys going at it.” He joked that he hopes they do not run through the cage. Beyond their size, what stands out to him is the combination of wrestling and jiu-jitsu skills he believes his opponent brings to the match.

The opponent’s Instagram highlights

Rather than studying a complete match, Harris has seen clips on his opponent’s Instagram account. He called the highlights fun to watch and joked that he hopes he will not appear in the next one. His assessment comes from those clips, not from a claim that he has seen everything the opponent can do.

How will Matthew Harris’s next fight differ from his jiu-jitsu tournaments?

Matthew Harris’s next fight at Scrap Super Fight 7 is a single match, unlike the tournaments where he typically has three or four matches in one day. He is looking forward to warming up for one opponent and then competing, a change from managing his effort across several tournament bouts.

That difference is a major reason Harris is excited about November 22. In a tournament, another match may follow the first; this time, he can direct his preparation toward one contest. He described the format as a different experience from what he has competed in before.

Harris also hopes the next conversation about the event will be about its highlights rather than the anticipation beforehand. He did not predict a particular finish or describe a planned sequence for the match. His focus was on arriving ready for the format and the opponent in front of him.

Why does Matthew Harris feel pressure at Triumph Fight Academy?

Matthew Harris wants to perform well at Scrap Super Fight 7 because it will take place at Triumph Fight Academy, his home gym. He expects its members and his supporters to be watching, including on the livestream. For Harris, that audience adds motivation to get into the best shape he can before competing.

He spoke about wanting to represent the people who train at the gym and earn a win in front of them. The setting makes the event personal: it is not simply a first appearance with Scrap Super Fights, but a match held where he trains.

Harris summed up how that responsibility affects his preparation:

The main thing I can do in preparation is just be in the best shape as possible

He connected that goal to knowing that people close to him may eventually watch the match or see it on the livestream. He cannot control how the contest unfolds, but he can control the work he puts in beforehand.

How is Matthew Harris changing his jiu-jitsu training for Scrap Super Fight 7?

Matthew Harris has increased his weight training and is keeping cardio central to his preparation for Scrap Super Fight 7. He expects to face a large opponent whose highlights suggest both wrestling-based takedowns and submission ability. Harris does not have a wrestling background, so he is preparing for more than a match against another large jiu-jitsu competitor.

Wrestling and submission threats

From what he has seen, Harris believes his opponent has a wrestling past. He pointed to the way the opponent takes people down and described him as capable of both forceful takedowns and difficult submissions. That mix matters to Harris because, in jiu-jitsu, he encounters strong wrestlers as well as competitors whose strengths lie chiefly in jiu-jitsu.

His immediate physical priority is not running out of breath. Harris singled out cardio while discussing how he intends to handle an opponent who can threaten him in more than one phase of the match.

More weight training for a heavier matchup

Harris had moved away from weight training to concentrate more closely on jiu-jitsu. For this preparation, he has brought more lifting back into his routine than he would normally do. He said competing among athletes around 250 or 260 pounds means working on his overall physical preparation, rather than doing only jiu-jitsu.

What did Matthew Harris say about his first Scrap Super Fights appearance?

Matthew Harris said Scrap Super Fight 7 will be his first time competing for Scrap Super Fights, but he has attended an event as a spectator. He watched fellow Triumph Fight Academy athlete Joshua James compete there and came away with a positive impression of the atmosphere and the promotion’s presentation.

Watching Joshua James compete

Joshua James, whom Harris identified as another athlete on the card from his gym, has competed for Scrap Super Fights before. Harris watched him live, along with other competitors. He recalled the combination of music and jiu-jitsu as part of what made attending enjoyable.

Scrap Super Fights promotion and viewing details

Harris has also seen the promotion’s clips and said it does a good job posting videos and highlights of competitors. He mentioned a $2,000 bracket among its offerings, without saying that prize applies to his own match. For event information, he pointed fans to Scrap Super Fights on Instagram; the host said Scrap Super Fight 7 would also be available to stream on Millions.

What is Matthew Harris’s business, Harris Groundworks?

Matthew Harris owns Harris Groundworks, an excavation company. He brought up the business while telling fans where they could find him after the match. Outside the company, he said Instagram is the social platform he uses, identifying his account as matthew harris 253.

Harris did not describe specific excavation projects or connect the business to his training. It was another part of his life he wanted people to know about as he prepared for his first Scrap Super Fights appearance.
