onepunchJD - When part 3?

That's a question for the boss man- but I'd guess tomorrow at some point

any chance of interviewing Oleg in the future?

ons ear - any chance of interviewing Oleg in the future?

Well after the Scott interview- next up is a huge Bart Vale interview. After that is a somewhat long interview with Anthony Macias, and he does talk about Oleg in that one. After that the next two tentative interviews are already planned, one who is a huge resource on the origins of MMA in the US. All this will keep me busy well into next year (I do these on the side, and want to do them right). After that, there are definitely several others (like Oleg) I'd love to interview if allowed the chance.

Did you ask Scott where they got those kick ass track suits?

No- it didn't make it into the interview, but when Scott would fight in Pancrase he used to either borrow Ken's backup pair of shinguards or borrow some from one of the Japanese fighters.

I think in the next interview, Bart talks about how he and Fujiwara (or maybe Soranaka?) used to be in business selling Zumba pants.

Interesting that it was Bessac who brought the inaugural UFC event to Ken's attention. Have to wonder how things would have turned out if Scott hadn't been reading that issue of black belt.
