the 12th installment of 13 Q’s with an MMA FAN is with Aaron from Virginia…
Enjoy…
1.) Thanks for your time Aaron, What’s new?
Not a whole lot. Just typing numbers into a computer making money for someone else. Thanks for reminding me.
2.) What is it that got you into MMA and when?
I became interested probably around the time UFC 4 came on PPV way back when. But I didn’t really get into it until I saw some PRIDE on tv and then TUF debuted.
3.) Do you train MMA now or would you ever like to?
Nah, but Relson Gracie’s got an academy (Fight Works) about 15 minutes from me. I’ve thought about giving it a try but broken bones aren’t my thing, really.
4.) Have you ever had an MMA fight or do you ever want to?
The closest I’ve had to an MMA fight is wrestling with friends trying to make each other submit. See above for the second part.
5.) What are 3 bands/groups that’d be in your iPOD right now?
Fugazi, Bad Religion, and Me Versus the Monster
6.) Who are some of your favorite fighters and why?
Forrest Griffin for his ability to take and dish it out but still smile afterward. Rashad Evans for the awesome fight against Brad Imes and every fight after. Sakuraba for obvious reasons.
7.) What is the best MMA fight you’ve ever seen?
Ken Shamrock v. Don Frye was good I think.
8.) Besides the UFC, have you watched other MMA events, which ones?
PrideFC and King of the Cage
9.) Have you ever been to a professional or amateur MMA event?
No, but if anyone has an extra ticket to a Northern, VA or D.C. area show, let me know!
10.) What are your thoughts on the current state of MMA?
I think it’s good. The extra exposure can only do better things for the sport and give the fighters more incentive (money and fans) to get better and fight harder.
11.) Is there anywhere in the world you’d like to travel to but haven’t seen yet?
Ireland maybe or New Zealand.
12.) What other sports, if any, do you like? list your favorite teams if any.
Football -Buffalo
13.) If you could see ANY MMA match, who would the fighters be?
Ken Shamrock v. Herb Dean
or Sakuraba fighting in the UFC
Peace, I’m out.
