Today, Brett Johns shared trolled his followers about having Roy Keane in his corner. The Irish star procured a reputation of being a ‘hard man’ in the football pitch for his uncompromising attitude on and off the pitch, including being notorious for demanding the absolute best from his teammates.

Really happy to announce that Roy Keane will be in my corner for my fight,” Brett Johns tweeted.

Brett Johns proud of representing Wales

Earlier this year in an interview with talkSport, he talked about proudly representing Wales. While there have been numerous top fighters in the UFC from the UK, Johns is the first Welshmen to fight in the UFC.


Representing Wales is a big thing and being the first Welsh UFC fighter is great. It’s a huge tick in my cap.

I’ve spoken to my coach about this and it’s almost like destiny being one of the first in the UFC.

We want to represent the country and carry the welsh flag in the cage. Every time I walk in that cage I’ve got the Welsh dragon on my shoulder which you should never take for granted.” Johns concluded. (H/T – TalkSport)
