Interview with Jason done by Mick Kane (@MickKaneMMA) of MMA UK –
MMAUK: You are scheduled to meet Oskar Piechota for the vacant middleweight championship at Cage Warriors 85. What do you know of your opponent?
JR: I know he’s pretty much as dangerous as Chang. He favours his juijitsu game ,but like I said I’m fully prepared to do all 5 rounds in style.. I’m coming to finish that’s it.
MMAUK: How do you feel the fight will play out?
JR: This is gonna be a very entertaining fight until I end it.. This one is not to be missed. I’m prepared to do it all and go the distance if need be..
MMAUK: You won the middleweight belt at Contenders 17 Norwich back in December, do you feel this will give you an edge as you know how to win titles?
JR: I won another title before that in MMA and Boxing, plus cleaned out the Carlson Gracie tournament in Phuket so I always got a champion’s mindset and willing to take challenges. I’m a Savage.
MMAUK: You are on a 6 fight win streak (11-2) do you feel you are in the best form of your career so far?
JR: I feel I’m at a very good training facility, Tigermuaythai in Phuket. I got a good squad of training partners ,always got high level visitors, great coaches and I feel I’m in my prime. My sponsors help me so much.
MMAUK: You have trained at several gyms and recently trained at Holsken Gym in Holland where Glory fighters train. Did this improve your stand up training with these guys?
JR: Shit, Neiky Holskens camp is straight up Gangster, the k1 was flowing like butter and I learnt a lot there.
MMAUK: Can you tell us about your MMA journey?
JR: My journey has been tough. I ain’t been on an easy road, but I’ve embraced the grind and happy with the opportunities that presented themselves. The Grind is Real!
MMAUK: What got you into MMA?
JR: A friend of mine got me started. I took one class and that was it. I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth.
MMAUK: Who has influenced you?
JR: Most champions and their journey.
MMAUK: Do you come from a certain martial arts discipline?
JR: I started off at doing Jujitsu, then made the transition and focused on my whole game. You can’t be 1 sided these days. It’s easy to figure out,so I keep an open mind.
MMAUK: What are you hoping to achieve in MMA?
JR: I want to represent my country in the UFC and make a run at the title, but I really want to get in there and entertain people. I’m value for money. Trust me I’m worth watching !!
