Catching up with the Fatu Brothers

Editorial by Jonah King

So King Arthur sent me a text about a month ago and ask me if I'd check and see what the Fatu brothers have been up to since leaving Fallen Champions. So being the good little reporter that I am, I got started by doing some research on the interweb.

I found that Eddie Fatu, who fought 4 times for Fallen Champions at Super Heavyweight and went 2-2 but his 2 losses were against 2 future Champions in Icarus Ritter and Cyrus the Virus, has recently moved down to 265lbs and joined up with Hilo Fight League where he won hes last fight by cut stoppage in the first round!

Solofa Fatu has recently signed up with the newly reinvented Syracuse FC and has a fight scheduled for the first of November. Solofa who started out his FC career at Heavyweight, but after he lost a pair of fights to Charlie Clock he decided to make the move to Light Heavyweight he fought 10 times total and finished with a record of 6-4 but seemed like he just couldn't get the job done when it counted most. There was talks going around before both fighters left they were going to fight one another in a loser retires match, but the match kinda fell through.

After I got this information, I gave a call to Mr Cropper over at Hellraiser's INC, he gave me the address to where I could find Eddie, but he said that he hadn't seen Solofa for awhile but when he did he would give him my information! So I headed over to the east side of the Island to the address that Cropper had gave me, it lead me outside of a nice little Pizzeria and Bar called the Big Kahuna. I went in and there was Eddie working behind the bar, he looked like he had lost 40lbs and put about 20 on in muscle. I sat down at the bar and he made me up a Bahama Mama, and told me that he had bought this place to give him something to do after fighting. He agreed to answer some questions for me....

Hows life treating you Eddie?

I'm great, feeling good, training harder than ever before.

You look like you've lost quite abit of weight?

Yeah man, I've been cutting abit of weight trimming down for fights, I've always been a big guy but I feel its time to trim down abit to get in the greatest shape that I've ever been in. I just hope it doesnt hurt my punching power.

Has Solofa still been training with you?

Yeah hes been training with me now and again

I've had a hard time getting ahold of him, any idea what hes been up to?

To be honest some times he turns up to train other days hes turns up late and sometimes never turns up I don't know whats up with him these days. Hes got in with some real bad guys, but he still goes hard when he does train.

You just signed a contract with HFL, what are you plans there?

Basically I wanted to try out HFL to see how my ground game is doing I want to try and tap people the F**k out and I feel HFL is a great place to try my hand at doing that.

How you been keeping up with Fallen Champions ever growing SHW division?

Oh yeah! I'm loving the SHW division at the moment, there are some great up and comers in Fallen Champions Like Big Show Jr, hes a great ground fighter with awesome GnP! I'm sure hes going to be champion one day.

When are you planning on returning?

Well my training is going very well so as long as training keeps going well maybe a couple of months and I'll be ready to come back to take out all the top guys (HAHA)

Whats your plans for the future?

Well I'm still wanting to fight my brother, and now that I'm cutting weight the fight can happen in the heavyweight division. I'd also like to fight Hunter Gatherer I think hes another great fighter and I'd like to fight Icarus Ritter to get hold of the SHW title.

Anything else you would like to add before we go?

I'd like to thank Mr King CEO of Fallen champions and I'd like to say F**k you Cyrus The Virus I want a rematch so I can get revenge on the fluke of a win you had over me, HELLRAISER 4 LIFE BABY!!!!!!!

I sat at the bar for the next couple of hours, and had quite a few more drinks before Eddie called me a taxi and I headed back home! Acouple of weeks later I got an email from Solofa it said that he didn't want to meet in person but he gave me his Skype ID and a time that would could do interview! When Solofa popped up on the screen I almost didn't recognize him, it looked like he hadn't showered or shaved in acouple of weeks, and the background behind him looked like he was staying in a trashy Motel somewhere!

I've had a pretty hard time getting ahold of you, hows life been treating you?

I'm Okay!

You are looking kinda rough, hows your training been going?

Training is okay! Sometimes I train, sometimes I'm just way too busy with other things.

You have a fight coming up in Syracuse FC in New York, are you feeling confident?

I'm felling ready, not confident! Dan Koon is a good fighter.

How is yours and Eddie's relationship?

Its not to bad these days mainly because we hardly see each other.

Have you been keeping up with Fallen Champions LHW division, and what are you thoughts on the talent pool now?

I've watched some LHW fights but like I said I'm very busy with other things

Do you plan on making a return to the ranks?

HELL YEAH but as my brother has prolly told you my life is on the rocks lately but Id love to get back to Fallen Champions in the near future!

Have you thought about your rivalries with the Gage Love camp?

Gage Loves Camp? what can I say I just don't like Shelby Toe or the other bitches in Gage Love's camp! Gage Love, hes a okay guy but the people that he surrounds himself with in his camp are ass holes! They are only in it for the money where as I am in it because I'm passionate about the sport.

Anything else you would like to add before we go?

FUCK GAGE LOVE'S CAMP! NOW ARE WE DONE I WANT TO GET BACK TO MY CRACK PIPE.!!!!

And with that it popped up and said that I had lost connection. So apparently Solofa has got in with the wrong crowd, and even drugs. Hopefully he can get his life together because he would be a waste of good talent if not! So there you have it folks, tune in later when I bring you a countdown of FC 40:Hell in a Cell!
