Ladies and Gentleman thankyou for joining us for our second of many upcoming interviews for Highland Fighters. In this installment we connect with the lightweight champion and absolute beast Kranckx Diesel managed by a strategy master in Chor Thanasukarn as you read through this interview, you will notice certain things are underlined. To help you gain a quick reference on what we are talking about click on the underline link which will take you to the Tycoon page of that being referenced. Since the timing of this interview Rav Kaupur no longer holds a title with the Colossus MMA going under. He still trains at Walter J Abramowitz gym. Additionally, Diesel has a fight booked on April 16th against Johnny Tanner! We hope you enjoy this interview and look forward to providing many more! 

Fighter Background:  Kranckx Diesel is a 25 year old knockout artist who hails from Bitter Pits. A lovely place I am sure. Diesel currently trains out of the Walter J Abramowitz Center for Bigness which currently houses 77 fighters and 4 champions total. He is sponsored by Church of Zoidberg Warehouse. He is currently ranked number 11 on the Islands P4P list and 2nd for the Islands lightweight Division. 

Q: Diesel, you are sitting at the top of the lightweight division with three wins all by technical knockout and with the lightweight belt wrapped around your waist! How are you feeling? 
A: I don't feel anything. My mom actually thinks I'm a sociopath.   

Q: That is exactly what my wife told me last week. Kindred spirits we must be. Now you actually train at Walter J Abramowitz, alongside multiple champions including the former Heavyweight Champion Rav Kapur, how has that experience shaped you for your fights at Highland? 
A: Rav is one of those boys that is into rolling around on the floor with other dudes. Grappling and stuff, it's just not my thing. 

Q: I do not blame you, those smells can be something else. One of your more recent opponents loved to grapple, Lets just do a quick backtrack on one of the fight with Cervantes, he pulled off several tight submission attempts on you. I think leading up to the fight, many would have thought a purple belt would have had no trouble dismantling a White Belt. Just how good is your ground game?  
A: My ground game is great. I punch my opponents in the face and they fall to the ground. But don't be fooled by the white belt folks. If it ever happens, the first one to get me to the ground will find out the hard way.   

Q:  I really cant wait to see how that will unfold. So eventually you caught Cervantes with a beautiful hook putting him out before the referee stepped in. Did you see that hook earlier or was it your coaches who informed you that he had a tendency to drop his hands? 
A: Cervantes had the balls to step into the octagon with me. I respect that. He knew he'd be lucky to survive. I'm basically a machine. I don't plan much. There's no strategy behind the destruction of my opponents. My coaches stopped coaching me because there's no need, and I wouldn't listen anyway.  

Q:  Well, many people do believe MMA is an individual sport. Anyway, It has a few days since your last fight. It appears to the fans you like to fight every two weeks or would you like to wait a little longer until an opponent presents themselves?
A: Some of my great Muay Thai predecessors, Ramon Dekkers and Rob Kamman, sometimes fought as much as twice in a single week against opponents that were as tough as nails. I told McGregor I'll fight anybody that has the balls, and at any time Highland wants me to. 

Q: Looking at top contenders for your title who would you consider the most deserving and why?  
A:I think Tanner or Green, just looking at their record. Tanner is an 18 year old kicking the shit out of 25 year olds. But again, anyone Callum sends me is fine with me. 

Q: I am getting word that Tanner may be the one who accepts the fight with you for the 16th of April. Being that you are a larger lightweight, could you see yourself eventually jumping up to the Welterweight division and taking on the one day champion there? 
A: You're not fat shaming me, are you now? .... But to answer your question, yes. If they allow me I could hold both belts simultaneously. 

Q: I definitely did not mean to fat shame... Or you're joking. Ha! Okay so you seem to be enjoying Highland go ahead and share with us a little about your experience at Highland. 
A: Highland has been great to me. First thing that happened was that McGreror was not pleased with the fighters performance in general and he immediately cut the salaries of all fighters. My manager Dieselnoi had to sort that shit out, which rumour has it, involved some knee techniques. We always get paid. Other than that Highland has been a lot of fun. Callum has great plans for this org so I'd advise anybody that gets an offer to just sign on the dotted line. 

Q: Well I really hope to see you at the top for a long time. We have to let you go but knowing that you are a fighters fighter at Highland and we know that you are a lover of your fans. Lets go ahead and end on a high note. What message do you have for your fans! 
A: Thanks for your support mom and dad! See you back soon at the trailer park.  

If you would like to see your fighter interviewed in the near future please do not hesitate to reach out to Tycoon Hec. As always, thank you so much to Callum Mcgregor and thanks to Chor for helping me get this interview out to the fans. Expect another interview by another champion very soon!
