 Hello all you Mad Lads, I'm the Mad Gaffer and I'm here once again filling in for Douche McBaggins, to talk about some of the most promising young prospects in MMA today- all who are participating in the esteemed 'League of Madness' Tournament. A follow up to the previous interview with Matija Maestro, Maestro’s first opponent is All American, a wrestler fighting out of Denver, CO. Training at The Grind in London under the tutelage of Bjorn O'Donnell, All American is another ground based fighter that has begun to dominate the landscape of MMA orgs all around the world.
Gaffer: The name ‘All American’- is it a stage name? Where did it come from?
American: Excuse me...? My father his last name is 'American'. My grandfather is his last name is 'American'. My.... Ah well, you get the point. Apart from that, my father is also a part-time comedian and supposed that naming me 'All' with double L would be fun. Great fun, shit.
Gaffer: What is your wrestling background?
American: Not much really. I only started a month or so ago and my coach just handed me some fake wrestling credentials. I am toast if anyone wants to wrestle me. That said, I'm all up for mixed wrestling, as long as there is oil envolved.
Gaffer: You’re originally from Denver- what made you move to London?
American: The cars. Honestly, getting up in the morning, drinking my fresh coffee and going for a lazy walk through the city is damn cool. The amount of supercars that I see on a daily basis is off the charts. One day, if I do well enough, I might own one of those badboys as well.
Gaffer: A vast majority of champions in MMA nowadays have a strong wrestling background- where do you see your career going?
American: Wherever God will take it. I strongly believe in God and think that whatever happens, happens because of Him. If He wants me to lose and be a shitty fighter, so be it. If he wants me to be God, I'll be God.
Gaffer: Who are some of your biggest influences?
American: The Pope and Carolina Sweets.
Gaffer: The Grind has had several well decorated fighters train there- what has been the biggest thing you’ve learned since training there?
American: Don't fuck around in sparring. I've been subbed by Paddy, head kicked by Tuft and Marley, outstriked like a toddler by Dub Dub,... Shit is hard man, shit is hard.
Gaffer: What do you think of the other 155ers?
Americans: Not much. None of them had the balls to try anything brave. Just all standard type youngsters again, weak shit.
Gaffer: What do you think of your first opponent, Matija Maestro?
American: I eat M&M's for breakfast.
