Xtreme K1 with BEEF

Editorial by King Scooby

 BEEF: Tree Of Life here reporting live in London at Xtreme K1 Combat 2 where  Aaron ThaiGuy has put together an awesome card. Im Scooby Jr with one of my excellent staff hosts, Hot Tamale, along with a host of talents from my very own fight club “Mystery Machine Fight Team,” The Frost brothers and Jacob Israel.

 

 

Scooby: Ricardo, I think me and you need to take a few more trips out here to London, this kickboxing thing is really starting to pop off here, this is my first time ive seen you since you have become a kickboxer right across the provinces here in Amsterdam, are you excited?

 

The Hot Tamale: Im extremely excited, ive always looked at KT fighters and thought why only stand-up when you can get credit for having the whole package, but now that I think about it, the knockouts are better and the tactics are harder, which is what I like. Plus having guys on our team who really urged me to get into it, like the guys we have here on the set today, I was motivated. Especially watching Tobin, how does it feel to be the first to hold a title for Scooby Mr. Frost?

 

Tobin Frost: You know it’s a great feeling, I was glad to show these kickboxing guys that a wrestler can win in anything he desires, not just grapple. I was glad to show Scooby the hardware that he helped me achieve with the help of a great gym run by Furious Styles. I know I talked a lot of trash with these guys in the tournament, but I believe if I stay focused I can do anything because of my training and my manager.

 

Scooby: Thanks Tobin but you did it yourself. So Ricardo, what do you think will be the best fight tonight?

The Hot Tamale: I always love title fights, the feel is always great, but I think Ossilus Chiarmanda will decimate Thomasz Ziemowit, but I want to hear what fight these guys are watching since they are in the organization.

 

Tubarick: I don’t care who fights who, I’ll whip all of them!

 

Tobin: Shut-up Tubarick you haven’t even won any fights yet, don’t make me tell them about how you tripped and fell into the ring in training last week and was knocked out for 6 hours…. Glass jaw… anyway, im also looking forward to the title fight, I love knockouts and I think Ossilus has one to add to his record today.

 

Jacob Israel: Well im actually more into watching the main event, Jay Merel and Jake Gustaffsson are in my weight class and the winner will most likely be my future opponent for a title shot so it will be interesting to see who wins, I thought Jake had it in the bag but Jay Merel marked my words that he would win… But yeah Tubarick, you suck bruh.

 

Scooby: Hahaha you fighters are a funny bunch, but out of all seriousness, It’d be nice to speak to both Styles and Aaron for a moment just to thank them for their hard work, especially ThaiGuy for putting together this train for us all to jump aboard on.

The Hot Tamale: There’s Aaron right there! The man who put this whole locomotive together with the best writer in Steel Penn, Styles... we must get a hold of them to join us for a second... Glad to have you guys stop by.

Aaron: I’m glad to be stopping by too! Always got time to stop to chat to you even with a busy event happening today!

Styles: As always it's my pleasure to be amongst hard working and very well respected men, especially since you're also both Steel Penn Alliance mates.

The Hot Tamale: Aaron, i know the answer for this because it’s been asked so many times, but i will ask it anyway, how does the success of Xtreme K1 feel right now?

Aaron: Pretty good I must admit although I am going to say that success isn’t anywhere near where we are going to be at the end of this year!

Scooby: Styles, i hear Xtreme K1 was somewhat of a joint venture that assisted you in many ways while you assisted Aaron, can you elaborate on that? You certainly assisted me and the team greatly.

Styles: Absolutely. When I was a fledgling member of Steel Penn, I was strictly doing my best to understand how to surivive the management side of MMATycoon. Beginning with four fighters and eventually expanding to thirteen obviously expands the array of duties and necessary attention to detail that is incorporated with such an expansion. Steel Penn is an excellent manager who works diligently to assist all members of the Alliance, and he contacted me about becoming a writer for the Alliance. Once I established myself in that regard, Mr. ThaiGuy contacted me and asked me to assist him in this capacity as well. In addition, he allowed me to have a few of the fighters I manage join Xtreme K1 Combat and that has helped me tremendously in understanding how to better manage my fighters and deal with their individual differences, especially their personalities.

Scooby: Aaron, Are there any fighters you believe have a serious edge so far in your organization? Anyone stick out and looks to be a future Rob Kaman?

Aaron: Future stars, hmmm I’ll give you 2 fighters too look out for,

1: Tobin Frost – Of course he is your fighter and the winner of our Super Heavyweight Showdown tournament and the current Super Heavyweight champion. He is currently 3-0 and has had some very impressive fights and we are glad that we’ve been luckily enough to host them all!
2: Tim Yankee – This guy is one of my fighters, his current record is 1-1 in the heavyweight division. He’s last fight impressed me a lot in which he dominated and got a KO. He is training hard and improving lots and is one for the future!
 

Tobin: Im Honored to hear that and I want to thank you for the opportunity to compete in that tournament, it really helped me with my cerebral violence disorder.

The Hot Tamale: Styles, from what im hearing on the set, your gym is the place to be, i know from firsthand experience myself, as I stopped by just for a runaround workout with the guys and everything was fully competitive inside. What are your goals for the New Year with the gym and your great writing work?


Styles: I appreciate the kind words. I'm very proud of how Steel Penn's Furious Styles gym has grown! I am extremely grateful to the excellent quality of fighters there and also truly appreciate how hard they work, particularly in sparring sessions. Having great trainers is very helpful, no doubt, but trainers don't necessarily have the ability to teach what transpires during a fight. Having a great mix of young talent with veteran leadership and skill is working out very well for everyone involved.

My goals for the gym this year are to expand the BJJ aspect of the gym and continue to provide great nutritional options. Recently I met with the trainers who teach ground-based fighting skills and upon conferring with them, we agreed to have them alter their training schedules and focus to present more options for ground-based learning. I'm also very actively looking to recruit Black and Red belt BJJ practitioners who are willing to educate members of the gym through intense sparring sessions.
 

Our current nutrition partner is working very diligently to provide even better quality products this year because the fighters at my gym definitely make a lot of nutritional product purchases. I'm always looking for opportunities to improve the gym and if I can improve the nutrition options at the gym, then you better believe I'll jump on that opportunity, be it through investments, partnerships, etc.

Scooby: Last question for both you guys before the action starts, what is it like to be an integral part of Steel Penn? Would you recommend the alliance to others? 
 
Aaron: I would 100% recommend being part of The Steel Penn Alliance to all Tycooners! The community is great and everyone really helps each other!

 

Styles: One aspect I truly appreciate about the Steel Penn Alliance is how willing the well-established veterans and leaders are to lend a helping hand. The men who have traveled the managerial and business roads are always imparting knowledge upon us and they impart that knowledge without question or apprehension. They truly want us to improve as managers and businessmen, and they take pride in our accomplishments, but more importantly, they guide us as best as possible through our struggles and failures.

I know there are rumors amongst various MMATycooners that the Steel Penn Alliance is a group of ostentatious - there's my college word of the day - and loud-mouthed individuals, but that is simply not true. I know what transpires within the Alliance and that is enough for me. I do highly recommend joining the Steel Penn Alliance because it is a brotherhood and people really do give a damn about you.

 

Scooby: As always, well said by my brother with exceptional Penmanship skills. I agree, Steel Penn does get a bad rap in the forums and around the tycoon world, but EVERYONE inside and outside of the alliance always gets well taken care of by the biggest to the smallest of our members.

As the preliminaries draw closer we are going to go ahead and allow these great men of Steel Penn, enjoy this great event set to take place shortly. Thank you all for joining us with BEEF Tree Of Life, be safe and TO ALL ENJOY!
