MMA veteran Drew Fickett recently did an exclusive interview with MMA Fiend and had some pretty interesting, and somewhat hilarious things to say about some people in the sport….check it out below:
Pau Sava, TheMMAFiend- Tell us about where you train and your training partners. Anyone we should be keeping an eye out for?
Drew Fickett- I train at SWMMA with a bunch of rejects. If they made action figures out of the fighters from my gym I would collect them all. First there’s Santino who I like to call the “General.” He’s always bitching about something, but he keeps us on our toes, runs a lot of snooty people out of the gym, and makes sure the mat is ringworm free. Then there is the Polish Assasin, Seth Bazinski who is a degenerate white hill-billy piece of trash from AJ who loves the Arizona Cardinals and might be the most ruthlessly funny guy on the planet. Bean Dip, aka Danny Martinez who brings the essence of Mick Jager MMA to southwest. Rhino Kelly, our sister, who is the gym manager. Tough guy until he drinks one beer. The Mesa brothers who rep the raza and always have a couple car stereos you can buy out of the back of their cars. God dang.
and some sort-of funny-somewhat-disrespectful-but-definitely-entertaining things to say about WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner and ESPN’s Stuart Scott:
PS-If you could fight three guys that you haven’t fought yet, who would they be and why?
DF-Stuart Scott from ESPN, because I’m tired of his one-liners that haven’t been cool since Hammer couldn’t touch this. Every bouncer that ever took an ID from me, because that’s fucking weak. Jamie Varner because he’s a fake, unwitty, oiling up for photo shoots, living a fake ass dream that’s soon to be a nightmare when Cerrone plays tic-tac-toe with his face. Can’t call a time out for this one, missed the straight bus cause his ticket is for ***’s only, punk ass bitch.
About the Jamie Varner thing….If you don’t recall, Jamie called a “timeout” during his title fight with then-champion Rob McCullough when his mouthpiece got knocked out of his mouth. There was some controversy over that move considering fighters aren’t supposed to do that, a lot of people called it “cheap” and that “Razor would’ve finished him right there had he not done that”, but whatever….Varner was dominating the fight before hand and I don’t think doing what he did gave Rob anymore chance in winning that contest. Still, I guess I can understand where Fickett is coming from.
Now onto Stuart Scott….I can agree 100% on his one-liners being out of date and pretty ridiculous, and in case you don’t know what I’m taking about, you can see a nice long list of them after the jump…

I can’t help but laugh reading these, makes me want to go watch ESPN right now in hopes of Scott being on the television spouting this shit out. There are some other interesting sections in the Fickett interview, to include that he confirms he will be fighting at 155lbs from now on (anyone see a Fickett/Varner fight in the works?), as well as his relationship with MFO and the UFC.
