What’s been said?
Speaking about the rules, Pritchard told The Sun: “Truthfully, because it is quite a new concept, there ain’t much to go off.
“So I’ve got some plans in my head of what the best way for me to do it, which I will not be saying. But it’s a bit of a learning curve.”;;
On fighting in general, he added: “It’s sick. Genuinely it’s wild.
“I’ve always loved watching fights. I’ve always loved fighting as a sport.
“It’s really interested me throughout my life, but I’ve never had time to do it.
“Being at such a high level of dancing, like when I was performing and competing a lot, that took up my life.
“I feel like once you get a mindset to become a high level of something, as long as you have that same mindset into something else, you become very good at it very fast.”;;
