Bummer
I had no idea Joe Slick passed away. How?
RIP to Joe and Brian.
Darrick : What was the journey that led you to competing in professional mixed martial arts?
Brian : I always have been competitive and was involved in sports growing up. So, this was a natural extension to my competitiveness.
Darrick : Who are a few of the people in the sport that you highly respect?
Brian : I guess if someone was to stand out, it would be Randy Couture. Although you know I do have respect for a lot of people for many different reasons. It could be because of their drive, skill, tenacity, power, or the way they carry themselves outside of the cage. There are a lot of good people involved in this sport.
Darrick : What brings you the most fulfillment out of martial arts?
Brian : I think it would be the ability to test myself physically as well as mentally.
Darrick : Any words of advice for other individuals looking to compete in MMA?
Brian : Practice, ice will be your best friend, practice, youāll go through a few relationships - oh, and practice.
Darrick : What does a ānormalā training session for you consist of?
Brian : I live an hour from my gym, damn it! I train twice a day, sometimes run, and go home. So, Iām driving four hours a day. Still looking for a sponsor to give me a car. It depends on the day or time on whether we do ground or stand-up.
Darrick : Who is someone that greatly influenced you while growing up?
Brian : I would say my father. In terms of fighting, we would go to the city and people would always tell stories about him beating someoneās ass.
Darrick : Outside of mixed martial arts, what are your other interests?
Brian : I like to read. Also, I used to be in a band and I can play guitar, bass, and drums.
Darrick : Tell us something about you that most people donāt know.
Brian : Iām waiting for the day that Iāll be that āfat senseiā telling people to work out while eating a jelly donut.
Darrick : What is your oldest memory?
Brian : Getting in trouble for something I did.
Darrick : If you had 24 hours left to live, how would you spend that time?
Brian : I would spend the time with Mianda, Rashad, and my mom.
