The Dylan.Au Ram At The Fights interview covered his October 24 Capital Punishment 7 fight in Ottawa, Canada, including his plan to look for a finish against Louise size. Speaking with Ram At The Fights on MILLIONS, the 613FightFactory fighter said his camp will intensify before fight week. He also described how his brothers became training partners and how he fits Muay Thai around his work as a mechanic.

How is Dylan.Au preparing for his next fight at Capital Punishment 7?

Dylan.Au plans to increase his training over the next couple of weeks, then taper down during fight week ahead of Capital Punishment 7. He said camp has gone well, with early mornings and late nights, and that he approaches every fight with the effort he would give a championship fight.

The harder stretch of camp is still ahead of him. Asked whether the final two weeks would be easier than the preceding weeks, Au said the workload would rise first. The reduction comes only when fight week arrives. He described his approach as leaving nothing unturned rather than treating this bout differently because of its place on the card.

Weight has not been a distraction. Au said he has never had trouble making weight for a fight: he has come in exactly on weight or a little under each time. He said this camp has gone so smoothly in that respect that he has barely thought about it.

Those preparations are for an October 24 appearance at Capital Punishment 7 in Ottawa. Au expects the work he is putting in now to let him show his skills wherever the fight goes, rather than depend on one particular exchange.

What does Dylan.Au know about his next opponent Louise size?

Dylan.Au has never seen Louise size fight, but he has been told his Capital Punishment 7 opponent is good and comes from a strong gym in Montreal. Au expects he may encounter a kickboxing-focused fight, while emphasizing that he is preparing to box and clinch as well.

The Montreal gym and a possible kickboxing fight

His expectation is not based on watching footage of size. Au linked it to what he knows about the opponent’s gym in Montreal, then immediately allowed for the possibility that the fight could take another shape. He said he is ready to work wherever it goes.

Why Au is not overlooking the clinch

Au suggested size’s clinch might not be as strong as other parts of his game, but did not treat that as a certainty. He said he had seen him train at Westside Muay Thai, which Au described as a clinch-heavy gym. That experience is one reason he is not assuming the bout will stay at kickboxing range.

Rather than claim a particular route to victory, Au pointed to the work he has done in camp. He expects a challenge from a fighter associated with a good gym and wants to demonstrate his preparation in the fight itself.

How has Dylan.Au developed at 613FightFactory?

Dylan.Au has trained at 613FightFactory for roughly four and a half years, since he began Muay Thai. He credits its competitive, supportive environment, along with training partners and coaches, for helping him improve. His brother Landon has been particularly helpful during this camp.

Training with Landon and Hamid al-nimi

Au said the fighters at 613FightFactory are friends who also push one another to improve. He identified Landon as a major help in his current preparations and said he has trained with Hamid al-nimi, a professional fighter at the gym who fights around the same weight. Those sessions give him partners working toward their own goals.

The coaches at 613FightFactory

Jeff was the coach Au named when discussing how long he has been at the gym. He also named Mateo Vogel and Dylan tangy among the people involved in his training. For Au, the value of 613FightFactory lies in that combination of coaches, training partners and up-and-coming fighters.

He has not described a move between gyms or a later switch in approach. 613FightFactory has been his training home from the start, making the relationships there part of both his early development and his preparations for Capital Punishment 7.

How does Dylan.Au balance family training with his work as a mechanic?

Dylan.Au trains with his brothers after working during the day as a fourth-generation mechanic in his family’s business. He has three brothers who all train; he and Landon are the two currently fighting. Their shared routine adds what Au calls brotherly competitiveness to his time in the gym.

On a typical day, Au finishes work, goes home to pick up his brothers and heads straight to training. He described that trip as an everyday pattern rather than an occasional extra session. The brothers also stay late at the gym to work on their skills and look for things they can practice together.

Having Landon alongside him in camp means preparation does not end with a scheduled session. Au said the two push each other, drawing on their competitiveness as brothers. He singled Landon out as an important part of his preparation for this fight.

Mechanical work occupies his days, while fighting and training fill the hours afterward. Au did not present the family business as separate from his family’s involvement in Muay Thai: the same daily schedule takes him from working with relatives to picking up his brothers for the gym.

Why did Dylan.Au and his brothers begin training in Muay Thai?

Dylan.Au’s family already followed combat sports, but his younger brothers being bullied at school helped turn that interest into training. Their father attended a live Muay Thai show, met Jeff there and brought the family into the sport. Au said his first classes made him want to continue.

Watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship at home

Au remembers sneaking out of his room when he was younger to watch Ultimate Fighting Championship cards that his parents were watching. Combat sports were already a family interest before anyone began training at 613FightFactory. The bullying his younger brothers experienced gave that interest a more immediate reason to become a family activity.

His father’s meeting with Jeff

After the bullying began, Au’s father went to a live Muay Thai show and met Jeff. Au described that meeting as the point from which his family became involved in training. He recalled finding the gym intimidating at first because of how capable everyone looked, but said his feelings changed after his first couple of classes.

His parents have remained involved as supporters. Au said that when he or Landon has a fight, they ask for tickets and show up. Their support extends to his brothers’ participation in the sport, not just his own bouts.

What did Dylan.Au say about his Capital Punishment 7 walkout and fight plan?

Dylan.Au has not committed to a costume for his October 24 walkout, though he floated the idea of a Grim Reaper mask if the mood is right. Once the fight starts, his expectation is firmer: he wants a fast pace and plans to look for a finish throughout.

A possible Halloween-themed walkout

Asked about the card’s proximity to Halloween, Au left open the possibility of wearing a mask. It was an idea, not a confirmed entrance plan. He offered no other walkout details and turned the focus back to what fans could expect from the fight.

Pressure against a prepared opponent

Au said he likes to bring energy and pursue the finish. He also expects size to have trained hard and wants to face the best version of his opponent. Describing his preference for demanding matchups, Au put his approach plainly:

we don't like to chase easy fights.

That outlook matches his uncertainty about how size will fight. Au is preparing for a fast-paced contest without assuming the Montreal fighter will rely only on kickboxing or avoid the clinch. He wants the challenge to test the work he has done in camp.

Who is Dylan.Au?

Dylan.Au is an amateur Muay Thai fighter from Ottawa, Canada, with a 5W-1L record. He fights out of 613FightFactory. Away from training, he works with his family as a fourth-generation mechanic.
