I spoke with RFA title challenger and Bellator fighter Zach Freeman ahead of Bellator 186. We got into a number of cool topics.
Feeling the love from the promotion this time out, training with a relative of the legendary Cassius Clay (1:13), MMA being a team sport if you're a top level fighter (1:51), thoughts on his Bellator 186 opponent Saad Awad (2:21), how Freeman sees himself as being the A side of this fight and he speaks to the feeling of a role reversal from the Pico fight (2:52), how life was crazy for about two weeks after his big win in Madison Square Garden on pay per view (4:08)........
What new elements Zach has added to his wheelhouse of techniques with this camp (4:52), the comparisons Freeman gets to Patrick Bateman from American Psycho (5:45), having his struggles documented in a book recently and his perceptions on the roller coaster dynamic of life (6:29), his hope to one day be a motivational speaker (7:47), coaching Nick Turnbo who deals with cerebral palsy (8:09), how some people can get brainwashed into thinking that they cannot achieve certain goals (9:13), dealing with Contact Dermatitis which has taken Marian Hossa out for the Chicago Blackhawks' season (11:28), jokingly comparing his struggles to Randy from Trailer Park Boys(12:47), how the rare skin condition almost resulted in his Pico fight being pulled (13:33).....
Mutually appreciating Trailer Park Boys (15:08), his full time job with Working Spaces doing high profile glass installations for office buildings (17:11), future goals in Bellator's shark tank of a lightweight division (18:38), his unique reasoning for why he no longer trains while listening to music (19:55), Reactor Watches not following through on their obligations to Zach as his sponsor (22:32), and more!
