Interview with Raoul"The Ghost" De Muerta

Fighter profile of Raoul De Muerta by

Welcome fight fans, Morgan Lightning, now i have to say it’s been a funny old week. I say this because i don’t know whether what occurred was real, or a dream. As manager of NYFN all of my fighters know i will happily interview them to get an insight into their mind. My next interviewee however is no regular fighter. He is known as “The Ghost” Raoul De Muerta and when i heard about his claim of being a witch doctor i thought, yeah cool gimmick this could work.

How i came to interview this guy though is the strangest thing, usually managers will get in touch and ask for their guys to be interviewed, we arrange a date and get together to do the interview and that’s about it. This guy though he phoned me on his own, i answered and was greeted by the words “YOU HAVE EARNED THE TRUST OF THE GHOST, YOU MAY INTERVIEW ME NOW”. He spoke in a soft gentle tone with a voice that seemed to reverberate around the room, even from the other end of the phone. I have to admit i was slightly aghast but agreed to the interview out of sheer curiosity, could this guy really be a witch doctor? He’s here with me now so let’s find out...

Morgan: Its not every day that i meet a voodoo fighter, or even a witch doctor so can i begin by asking what advantage, if any does the voodoo religion provide you with come fight time?


Raoul: MORGAN.. I AM WITHOUT FEAR. THAT MAN OPPOSITE ME IS JUST A MAN. I SPAR WITH
GHOSTS AND SHADOWS. AND BELIEVE ME, I KNOW HOW TO KO A GHOST.

Morgan: How does that work? Well i mean it obviously works as you remain undefeated in your first 4 fights as an MMA fighter. Would you say your finishing power could be acredited to your ghost trainers?

Raoul: IF YOU PRACTICE PUNCHING AND KICKING AT SOMETHING THAT'S BARELY VISIBLE, THAT MOVES AT ENORMOUS SPEED, AND KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE THINKING BEFORE YOU DO, THAT IS TOUGH SPARRING. I HAVE TO BE FASTER, MORE FOCUSSED, MORE ELUSIVE, READY TO APPLY ALL MY POWER AT ANY MOMENT. MY COACHES WERE VOODOO MASTERS BEFORE THEIR DEATHS, SO AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE THEIR KNOWLEDGE IS IMMEASUREABLE SINCE. MORGAN.. THIS IS RARER THAN YOU THINK - A FIGHTER TRAINED BY GHOSTS. I HAVE IN FACT BEEN A WITCH DOCTOR FOR MY PAST SEVEN LIVES. FIGHTING IS JUST WHAT THIS BODY WANTS TO DO, SO THE ANCESTORS AND I WILL PUSH IT TO THE MAXIMUM.

Morgan: You currently fight at 185 but have taken a step up into the 205 division, claiming a TKO Victory over Arvo Lancaster. Do you feel you can beat anyone in any weight class?

Raoul: AVRO SEEMED TO BE MY TOUGHEST OPPONENT. AT THAT STAGE OF OUR LIVES, ON PAPER WE WERE ALMOST IDENTICAL. BUT MY HANDS AND FEET ARE USED TO CONNECTING HARD WITH THE INSUBSTANTIAL AND THE INVISIBLE, AND THAT IS WHAT HE BECAME AFTER OUR FIGHT.

Morgan: Being a witch doctor you must have certain pre fight rituals to help focus your mind for a fight. Would you care to give us an insight into the fight preparation of a voodoo fighter?

Raoul: ONE MONTH BEFORE A FIGHT I DRINK OUR SPECIAL POWER JUICE, A FRESH JUNGLE MIXTURE. I ASTRALLY TRAVEL TO MY TEACHERS AND COMMUNE WITH THEM ON TACTICS AND STRATEGY, ON MY OPPONENT'S FRAILTIES. TECHNICALLY I AM DEAD FOR THE SEVERAL HOURS IT TAKES. THEN MY ASSISTANT BURNS THE APPROPRIATE PLANTS AND I COME BACK INTO THIS WORLD. THEN.. INTENSE TRAINING, MAINLY DURING THE NIGHTS.

Morgan: Finally do you or any of your ghost trainers have a message for your next opponent Jarik Belson or any other potential opponents you may face in the future?

Raoul: I AM SORRY FOR THE INJURIES YOU ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE. I HOPE YOU WILL TRY HARD TO NOT LET YOUR COACHES DOWN AGAIN.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!

Morgan: Ok Raoul.....Oh he’s gone???

And that was that, nothing but an ethereal mist remained in the place he had been sitting no more than 5 seconds previously. I was jotting down his answer and when i looked up he was gone, leaving nothing but the echo of his laughter and the fore mentioned mist. It took me a day or so before i began to feel like myself again after meeting Raoul, he claims to be plugged into the spirit world and an active practitioner of the voodoo religion and after meeting him, i have to say his claims could well be true. As of yet he is unbeaten in 4 trips into the octagon and with the powers of his ancestors ghosts powering him in the octagon i don’t see him losing any time soon? ~I wish Jarik Belson all the best when he faces off against the ghost at NYFN 8: Big Show Live from the Hard Knocks arena, New York on the 28th of August. I will defiantly be watching, all the while keeping a safe distance from The Ghost and his mystical ways. Until next time guys, goodbye.
