I’ve watched Regan fight for years, so this was a really cool opportunity to finally sit down and have a proper conversation with Regan — especially with another massive title fight just around the corner!In this episode, we talk about her upcoming battle against one of Thailand’s best - Saengarm Sakchamni - for the prestigious WMC title, coming just a couple months after Regan captured the WMC North American strap in her home town of Ottawa. We also get into the unfortunate result of Regan's ONE Championship debut — the entire journey leading up to that fight, from when she heard of the opportunity - right to the "walk", what happened during the fight, and what she needed to do to recover mentally - as well as what needed to change moving forward, this conversation goes way beyond wins and losses!We talk about what it means to be a champion and an ambassador — not only for women’s Muay Thai in Canada, but for the young fighters and aspiring champions in her gym and beyond. Regan also talks about her gym, her loyalty to her team and the relationship that develops when a fighter and coach spend years together chasing the same goals. There’s something special about that kind of longevity - their's nothing that can replace that relationship!This is a phenomenal conversation with one of Canada’s greats, and now it’s time to get behind her as she goes hunting for another WMC title belt! >>> If you’re anywhere near Ottawa, get your tickets today through Eventbrite.ca and come celebrate 65 years of Thailand/Canada relations with an unbelievable night of international championship Muay Thai.Follow canadamuaythai on Instagram to stay up to date with the event, the fighters and all the latest announcements around this event - And, of course, keep listening, watching, subscribing and sharing the Shout Out Fight Podcast.Summer is over.The fights are coming.Let’s get AMPED UP, get behind our Canadian athletes and make some noise!SHOUT OUT TO YOU REGAN!!
