The Article
Maxim Magazine recently conducted a brief interview with the coaches of the third season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show on Spike TV. Here's a transcript of that interview:
MAXIM: Hey, don't kill each other yet - save that for your rematch at the end of Ultimate Fighter 3. Ken, how do you plan to avoid taking another beating?
KEN: I've had a lot of time to look at how he beat me and how to not let that happen again. I've been doing this too long to be surprised. I know he's worked on his stand up striking too, but he can't go with me. He can not go with me.
TITO: Our last fight against each other, I gave him everything I possibly could. At the end of the third round, he felt it - and he knew it.
KEN: And that's my strength. He hit me with everything he could. He didn't hurt me, he cut me. He bruised me. I took everything he had. They stopped the fight because of the cut.
TITO: I'm young. I fought in 1997 with only 6 months training. I'm only 31, but learning everyday. Ken's, what - 42?
MAXIM: Ken, do you think Tito is underestimating you a bit?
KEN: No. He knows there's still some fire left in me. I may have lost a step or two, but I can still take him out - and he knows it.
TITO: That's the one thing about my fighting style, I never rest. I'm a cardio machine. And as he's dropped a couple of steps, I've gained a couple of steps.
KEN: That should make us even then.
TITO: People should get their money's worth from this fight. And there'll be a doctor carrying him out.
MAXIM: That's your prediction?
TITO: It ain't going 3 rounds.
KEN: No, it's not going 3 rounds.
