Matt Quin Q&A

Fighter profile of Matt Quin by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans today I will pay a visit to a rising star in the middleweight division in the world-renowned Global Association of MMA, or GAMMA in short. Only 26 years old this young prodigy on the rise may have started his career in GAMMA on low note, getting finished in his promotional debut, but he came back with a vengeance. Like a fenix he has risen from the ashes and is now riding an impressive four fight winning streak.

Matt, first of all congratulations on your latest victory. I saw the fight and it didn't look like an easy win to me.

Matt: Thanks and it definitely wasn't an easy fight, I pulled out all the stops and kept working him till the final bell. My opponent was tough as nails and hung with me all through the fight. The judges thankfully awarded my efforts with a unanimous decision win but it was a hard fought victory.

Q: This win now puts you in an amazing position, you're reaching the upper echelons in the middleweight division and a title shot might even be lurking in the near future.

Matt: I'm very honored to be in this position but no matter what the future may bring, I'm taking it one fight at a time. There may come a time when I'm in that kind of privileged position but I'm not there yet.

Q: You got signed directly to a permanent long term deal with GAMMA and didn't have to fight your way to the top in the GAMMA: Contenders. Do you feel lucky to have skipped that step before going to the big leagues?

Matt: I feel blessed that the people in charge at GAMMA saw so much potential in me that they took a leap of faith and didn't require me to prove myself first. On the other hand, I definitely wouldn't have minded going to GAMMA: Contenders first. It's a great environment for young, up and coming fighters to develop their skills in a stable environment and get some experience before moving up to the main stage.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing your next fight!
