After losing his chance at Olympic gold in a close fight with Rocky Tyson, he finds himself back at EVO welcoming newcomer Thor Skarsgard, a man who is known for his KO power. Leo himself is known for a deadly MT attack and the power he carries in his fists and feet. After switching managers, he has gone 5-1 under Dean Sutherland, a world renowned manager who brings the best out of his fighters. I had the chance to sit down with him and ask him a few questions about his upcoming fight and his future. Reporter - You came so close to winning the Gold medal at the Winter Olympics, eventually losing a back and forth war with Rocky Tyson. Are you a man set on redemption, to prove you are the best heavyweight around? Leo – I wouldn’t mind another shot at Rocky. I am a big believer in you have to beat the man to be the man, Brick was the man and I kicked his ass, Rocky in turn kicked my ass, so now I guess you could say I want another shot at Rocky but chances are my stable mate Hamish is gonna tool him first. Reporter - After leaving Mannetosen’s management, many wondered where you would end up. You ended up in the hands of elite manager Dean Sutherland. How do you feel being in his roster has benefited you? Leo – I was gutted that Tosen decided to up and leave, so I convinced Dean to come back and take in some of his roster. A lot of his roster was scared they could end up at inferior alliances such as BHP, so we took a poll and most of the talented fighters ended up going with Dean. As far as benefits, not much different from Mannetosen’s style, he lets us do our own thing and we go out and rack up the wins. Reporter - You are a fighter known for his relentless attack on the feet combined with KO power you make for a dangerous man for anyone. Where do you feel you can beat Skarsgard? Leo - At scrabble, I happen to know he cannot pronounce or spell words with over six letters, after I am through with him he will be lucky to spell words with over four letters. Reporter - Before leaving for the Winter Olympics, you had a 4 fight winning streak in EVO. Do you feel that with a win over Skargard you will be getting the next shot at Rinky Spider, a man whom has bested you once before for the title? Leo - Meh, I couldn’t care less about Rinky to be honest nor any of Bowsers stable. I am 2-1 up against him personally and Dean is 2-1 up against him also. We have nothing left to prove. Reporter - If a rematch with Rinky was to happen, are you now confident you has what it takes to beat him? After all you beat his stable-mate Brick Tires in convincing fashion. Are you out for Rinky’s blood? Leo – As before I ain’t interested in fighting Rinky, Brick or anyone else in Bowsers stable. I have my eyes set on Rocky Tyson; he was an awesome competitor and have nothing but love for the man after the war we produced in the Olympics. This time I have a feeling he will be out cold. Reporter - You have a burning desire to seek revenge on Rocky Tyson. Do you feel EVO will be able to bring him over for a rematch with yourself, or will you have to hunt him down and go to CEC? Leo – Either or, Gus and Jug are both good friends of mine and I know both of them can come to an agreement if needs be, shit if it comes down to it I only have two fights left on my contract. I can kick ass twice and go to CEC to force the issue. 7 – Thank you for your time, is there anything else you would like to add? Leo - If you clinch me; I’ll submit you. If you stand up and fight; I’ll knock you out. Do us all a favour and just miss your jet flight. It will save you a lot of grief and brain damage, this is the big leagues. There you have it folks, the man wants to fight the man who bested him at the Olympics, Rocky Tyson. Be sure to check out Leo's fight on the 7th of February against Thor Skarsgard, his interview is coming soon!. Who do you feel will win the fight?

http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/13964199518825.jpg "The Raging Cockstorm" Johnny Fantastic – Q + A Johnny Fantastic is 9-1 over his last 10 with 6 of those wins from KO. The man packs a punch and that has led him to EVO, where the mightiest fighters ply their trade. Fighting for the NGF made him one of the best welterweights around, with the fall of NGF he found a home in EVO. After winning his EVO debut via KO he finds himself matched up against the champion and #1 in the weight class, Bowser Stormcrow. Not many men can boast of beating Stormcrow and not many can boast of beating Fantastic. #1 and #2 in the weight class face of in EVO, it’s sure to live up to its potential. I had the chance to speak to the charismatic Johnny Fantastic to ask him a few questions about the fight. Reporter - First of all, before I ask any questions about the fight. I feel I must ask about your unusual nickname. How did you become known as “The Raging Cockstorm”? Alright, hi there. The nickname, um, that is from my movie career. You know I did some adult work before my MMA career, and I think the name came because I might have knocked a few girls out by swingin my... um, "thing", a bit too wildly. And I have a bit of a short fuse, as evident how my film career ended, so that's about it. Reporter - You are fighting #2 p4p and #1 welterweight, Bowser Stormcrow. How do you see the fight playing out? Bowser seems like a one tough motherfucker. He fought a friend and training buddy Brutaali Keijo a few years ago and beat him so I somewhat know what to expect. He's a solid striker and a decent grappler which pretty much sums up what I am, though I think I have a slight edge on wrestling experience.. So it's going to be an exciting fight, I'm sure. Reporter - One thing that separates you from your opponent is you finishing ability. You have recorded most of your wins via (T)KO. Do you think your KO power is your best attribute? I think it is. Separating your opponent from his senses is a great way of ending the fight and when you're good at it you can go far in this game. I know I can knock out most everyone they but infront of me as long as I can touch them. Bowser's a durable dude though, so it might take more than just connecting with his chin to beat him. Reporter - You are fighting for the EVO championship, and a chance at becoming the best welterweight on the planet. If you win this fight what do you see yourself doing afterwards? Just defend the title. I'm sure Bowser would want an instant rematch in the case I beat him, and he's been so good for so long that he probably would deserve it. But there is a lot of tough guy's out there. Just line them up and I'll knock them out. Just make sure they come one at a time so there won't be any pile ups. Reporter - Thank you for taking time out to answer these questions, is there anything else you would like to add? Thanks for having me, and just tune up for the fight. I'm sure it'll be a great one. There we have it. The confident person that Fantastic is, he believes he can do anything in MMA. He certainly has a tough task ahead with Bowser Stormcrow. Be sure to check out their fight on the 28th and to vote who you think will win.
