BEEF: Cocky Rocky @ The Tree OF Life

Fighter profile of Rocky McColgan by King Scooby

 Twelf Thermandin back again with the Beef Tree Of Life and we will have a familiar face back in the studios here in Montreal. A young man by the name of Rocky McColgan and firstly I would like to apologize for mispronouncing your name on the show a short while ago. I was wondering why you were looking as if you wanted to punch me in the face, but anyway... How are you doing?

 Rocky McColgan -Nah, that's not a biggie, I just look mean that's all. I'm doing fine, just training in the gym constantly, getting better in all areas of the game.

So negotiations finally broke down between your manager and Scooby Jr, the org owner at BEEF at 3AM, does he drive a hard bargain or is he more of an even keel type of guy in the negotiation room?

-Oh, boy I think the guy is just slow. Mean he takes his sweet time in getting anything done. I think this interview was supposed to be done weeks ago but I just got the email yesterday or something. 

Im sure he doesnt like hearing that, ha... So how does it feel to be argueably the best fighter at BEEF? Is it a big deal or is holding that belt just like being a champ in any ole Restricted organization?

-That's a nice thing to hear. I really thrive on being the best fighter I can and win any way necessary. Being recognized as the best fighter in the org is just a nice byproduct of my success.

Youve pretty much dominated every fight you have been in, who was your toughest opponent?

-As I said, I really try to be the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be. So, mostly I really come in so well prepared that the other guy can't get comfortable before I get my game going. And, when I do, I usually win. But on the toughest opponent I really have to say Barry Robertson, as he's been the only one to last full rounds with me since my MMA debut. And was more or less just a target practice sparring session as I was just tryining to get comfortable fighting MMA and went easy.

They call you “Cocky” and I dont suppose it is a porn name, but I never hear you talk much of any trash, especially in the BEEF newsboards, is there any reason why?

-Cocky... I guess that's just from my confidence level, and it happens to rhyme with my name. But I really know how good I am and I'll say that if someone ask but usually I just focus on showing it in the cage. I don't bother to do trash talk, that's just a waste of time really.

You seriously mean business, you dont even have any music playing when you walk out for fights, what are some songs on your ipod currently?

-I really have't come up with a good song to walk out yet so I've just said them to play some random shit. It have't been a problem yet at least. But on my ipod? Well, there's this crazy finnish guy on Mr. Finland's team called Brutaali Keijo. The guy seems to be always drunk when he's not fighting or training, really don't know how's that possible. But he's always playing this finnish rock/alternative/progressive shit called CMX in the gym. I've listened it for a while and though I can't understand shit about it, it does sound good.

Almost back from your injury suspension and with the entire Heavyweight division wishing they had your name, is there anything you would like to say about your fans?

-Yeah, fans keep tuning in to watch the fights and man don't blink when I'm out there. And thanks on having me on the interview.

Thank you for your time Rocky, glad to have you here with the Tree Of Life once more... Thank you all for tuning in.
