 Hello ladies and gentlemen I’m Dale McCann. On tonight’s episode of MEET THE MAN we have an interview with GAMMA star "Black Water" Cole River.
DM- How are you doing Cole?
CR-Been doing very well thank you for asking. Having a great training camp, feel like I am at the top of my game.
DM- Sounds like your ready lets start the questions ha.
Q. So you’re coming up against st juste again for the title after losing last time how will you change your game plan?
A. I don't want to say to much and give away anything. Let’s just say, I am expecting a war. St Juste is tough. If we don't get fight of the night I will be shocked.
Q. Yeah im excited for this one I’m sure it will be a contender for it. You’re seen as one of the top fighters at GAMMA how have you found the organization?
A. GAMMA is great, Mentor is one of the best ORG owners I have worked with. I just wish I would have come over here sooner. As for me being one of the top fighters, with all the great guys here I think that may be a stretch.
Q. I think your one of the top fighters there and yeah MENTOR’s attention to detail is fantastic that’s what I think mates GAMMA one of the top org’s to fight in. Back to the fight What do you think st juste weak points are?
A. He is 33-9 I don't think he has many weak points! I would say the most obvious is his BJJ, but let’s be honest I am no ground guy either. We have very similar styles. I don't think the fans will be disappointed.
Q. Yeah you’re both similar that’s why it’s such an intriguing fight. If you win this fight is there anyone else you’re dieing to get in the cage with?
A. I don't call people out, I will fight anyone anytime. Whoever Mentor wants me to fight, that is who I want to fight. I am under contract, I don't turn down fights, I don't hand pick fights. I accept and I give it my all.
Q. True fighter mate. Tell us a bit about yourself outside of MMA?
A. Well I am named after a child that Joe River knows who has Down Syndrome. I am active in Special Olympics and help coach different sports and I really enjoy that. If you ever get the chance to go to a Special Olympics event you should, it is an experience you will never forget. Joe has a son named Alexander that has Down Syndrome also, we call him Zander because he is so WILD. Kids with Downs face so many battles and struggle every day with things that most people just take for granted. They are true fighters, they are my HEROES!
DM- That is absolutely amazing, some people do take life for granted it really has been a pleasure meeting you today such grounded individual who has outstanding morals. Good luck in your fight Cole.
CR- Thank you iv had fun, hope to do this again.
DM- That concludes today’s episode of MEET THE MAN. Remember to tune in fight fans for weekly interviews with the sport’s top fighters and mangers.
