It’s just mad to think that a local boy from Merthyr Tydfil is fighting in the ufc and is on the biggest mma podcast in the world. Good luck Oban boy, Merthyr and wales are behind you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Love Wales and the people. Good luck fella…. From England

[@davidgeorge3944]

Crazy he's fighting and out of my small hometown Merthyr tydfil literally one of the most dead end towns to live in in Wales, and he's made his way to the top and now he's fighting in the UFC on a big stage. It's a dream come true for him I'm sure. Well done to him amazing work! don't know Oban personally but he seems a down to earth and decent guy even Ariel likes him and Chael they must see something in him good luck to Oban go get that W at 298!
