Duncan McAlister Q&A

Fighter profile of Duncan McAlister by Alika Webb

Q: Dear martial arts fans today I will pay a visit to the new Blunt Force Trauma heavyweight champion Duncan McAlister. Duncan, first of all congratulations on winning the belt. You showed that even at 39 years you're still one of the best heavyweights in the world.

Duncan: Thanks man, I doubt anyone else would put me on the same level as the best heavyweights in the world, but still I appreciate you saying that.

Q: Don't sell yourself so short. You're currently riding an impressive four fight winning streak, you're a champion in Australia's longest running fight org, you just beat the former champion in under 2 minutes and you made it look easy. Now that's impressive!

Duncan: Let me tell you, that wasn't easy. Cain is an animal on the ground so it wasn't hard to predict that he was going to try to take me down. Even though I knew what he was going to do, I couldn't stop him from taking me down but luckily for me, I think he underestimated my ground game and he got finished before he was even able to do anything on the ground.   

Q: At 39 years of age, how long do you think you can still keep doing this?

Duncan: Right now I feel like I'm on top of the world, so I see no reason to hang up my gloves just yet. But I have had some low points in my career where I contemplated retirement. When I got released by GAMMA I thought I was done but my manager hadn't given up on me and got me signed with Blunt Force Trauma in Sydney. If it wasn't for Antonius Proximo I'd probably be retired right now, so I'd like to give my thanks to him for everything he's done for me so far.

Q: Thanks for doing this interview with me and good luck in your next fight.
