Former UFC Champion Matt Serra was cornering a couple of his fighters at Ring of Combat 21 on Friday night at the Tropicana in Atlantic City. I snagged this interview in the fighters’ dressing room area and since Matt always attracts a crowd, it was taped before a live audience.
Garv: Here with my main man Matt Serra, what’s up Matt!
Serra: What’s up, Garv!
Garv: How about that Tim Sylvia/Fedor fight. You must have enjoyed that, huh?
Serra: Oh man, dude. I don’t take potshots at a guy losing a fight. It’s MMA and it’s bad karma. I’m not a big Tim Sylvia fan but he does fight whoever they put in front of him so, you know.
Garv: So classy!
Serra: Yeah, did I actually just put that into a compliment? (crowd laughs) Everybody thinks I’m a prick, you see, there ya go. That’ll change some of opinions maybe.
Garv: I think it will.
Serra: I doubt it though. I doubt it.
Garv: You know, that accent of yours, some people just love to hate New Yorkers.
Serra: I don’t know man. The fans have always been great with me. Boo me, cheer me, my interaction with them on the Internet and especially in person has always been positive. I hardly get any dipshits. (crowd laughs) I mostly get good people, you know.
