How many times was any version of the word "nigga" used? Do people yell that shit to you when you walk out to a fight?

u/DK_Schrute Nov 04 '14

Is he really a smug asshole or is it just an act?

84

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

He's cool with me

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '14

If you were a good looking, charming, internationally known and successful professional fighter you might be a little smug.

When I met the guy he was all class.

32

u/Caesersfan Nov 04 '14

Hey man so cool you are doing this! I bet on you in your next fight! Do you think you can kill this guy in the first round or do you think your opponent is good enough to last 2 and a half rounds against you?

127

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

Just for you... 1 round

u/Creamygoodness0 Nov 04 '14

Vegeta is the best. When you get back to town I'm gonna choke the shit out of you until you admit it.

u/ld9821 Nov 04 '14

Vegeta is like the Joe Pesci of the DBZ world. Napolean complex and always fucking up a good thing.

Favorite DBZ saga? Also, you're my boy so go ssj3 this weekend

u/Samstarr Nov 04 '14

Glad someone is asking the questions we all want answers to

23

u/Dr0me Nov 04 '14

How does it feel to fight at 135 instead of 145 body wise? Do you feel you have more cardio, less power etc.

50

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

Honestly, at 135 I feel a lot faster with some power loss

22

u/ronin5 Nov 04 '14

Marcus, can you give an example of a mistake you've done in a fight, that you'll never do again?

69

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

getting too emotional

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '14

Which fight was this in?

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '14

I think he means Conor.

u/unknown_poo Nov 04 '14

How does being too emotional affect your ability to fight?

2

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '14

You might throw strategy out the window, you may get sucked into their strengths based on ego, you will get a dump of adrenaline followed by exhaustion, the list really goes on.

u/Shecallsmeceezy Nov 04 '14

As an Alabamian, I'm glad to see someone from home getting into the spotlight!

Goodluck on your upcoming match against Tuerxun!

23

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

Thanks!

u/cgull34 Nov 04 '14

Fellow Alabamian here. I feel the same way. He's the only guy I know of from the state to make it to the UFC. You know of anymore?

5

u/potifar Nov 04 '14

Kind of obscure, but you've got John Salter who had three fights in the UFC back in 2010.

u/autowikibot Nov 04 '14

u/mxmarcus13 Nov 04 '14

Considering it is in your division, who do you feel will win Dillashaw vs Cruz?

106

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

I don't know... but Cruz looked pretty gangsta in his last fight

u/gorthiv Nov 04 '14

Motherfucker looked like he wasn't out the fight game for a thousand days!

Don't have a question just want to say you got robbed in your last fight, you won rounds 2 and 3 hands down.

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

Thank you... I feel the same ;)

Do you think Mcgregor lives up to the hype? Also you looked amazing at 135, can't wait to see more.

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

So far so good with McGregor... and thanks!

u/cuxinguele139 Nov 04 '14

If you could potara-style fuse with one other fighter in any divison to make one super fighter, who would you choose?

47

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

Anderson Silva... cause he's the best

Would you rather fight a Nappa-sized Demetrious Johnson or a Vegeta-sized Cain Velasquez?

89

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

Vegeta/Cain....too slow

35

u/no_no_NO_okay Nov 04 '14

Nobody would want to fight a Nappa-sized DJ. That's a silly question man.

u/bigwilliestylez Nov 04 '14

At that point we might as well stop looking for the champ, we would have found them. /heavyweight

u/immaculate_deception Nov 04 '14

Can someone please explain what nappa and vegeta is?

We got a Naruto fan over here.

u/pine_straw Nov 04 '14

Hey Marcus-Here's a few questions:

  1. Is there a ref that is your favorite? Or at least one you've heard that other fighters like most? Why?

  2. How often do you interact with the UFC outside of events? Do they just contact you to schedule fights or do they check in with you during training or between fights?

42

u/BamaBeast Nov 04 '14

I like herb dean b/c he gives you every chance to win.

Nope only to get fights....no that popular yet
