Tom Quin Q&A

Fighter profile of Shogun Iron Tyson by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans, it’s been a while but I’m back for another interview with Tom Quin. The 19 year old prospect from Holland signed a new contract with BEEF in Montreal. Tom, it’s been a while since we’ve last talked, could you give us a short summary of the events that have occurred since our last interview?

Tom: Last time we did an interview I was scheduled to fight Mike Marin, the guy called me out and I responded. We had some words to hype up the fight and then I dominated and even finished him in the first round. By defeating Marin I got into the finals of the consolation bracket of BEEF’s tournament to crown their first 145 champion. The other semi-final match was only scheduled after my fight with Marin happened so the org owner gave another fight to stay busy.

Q: Who was your next opponent?

Tom: Dark Warrior was as his name suggest a warrior. He dominated me on the ground in the first round but I kept my cool and came back with a vengeance. I rocked him, dropped him with a powerful right hand and kept punching until the ref stopped it.

Q: You said you got dominated in the first round, do you think future opponents saw some of your weaknesses in that fight?

Tom: To be honest: yes. I do think my weaknesses were exposed in that fight and I think future opponents might focus on those weaknesses.

Q: Does that scare you? You already had a huge target on your back for being so vocal and now that people have seen your weaknesses, a fight with you might be more interesting for them than before.

Tom: It scares me a little but it also motivates me even more to train my ass of in the gym.

Q: Now that the other semi-final match has happened, when will the finals of the consolation bracket take place?

Tom: To be frank, I don’t really care if that fight happens or not. I’m ready for the next chapter in my MMA career. I’m ready to train hard, continue building up my rep and hopefully get a shot at that belt someday.

Q: Tom thanks for doing this interview, I know you’re always busy training. Good luck for your next fight and I hope to see you again.
