If you want to call someone out or just talk some shit, do it here.

Just hours after his exciting 205 win on Konflikt New Yorks first show TaporNap.com caught up with BJJ wizard Art Vandelay to get his thoughts.

 

TON: Art, that was a great fight you had but first of all how do you think the first show for KNY went?

 

Art: Uhh...I was getting ready for my fight so i didn't see much of the show but the roster is packed with hungry young talent who will do anything to put on a good show.

 

TON: Well your fight with Matthew Ortiz was one of the highlights with you getting cut in the opening seconds then dominating the second and getting tight triangle on in the last round. Are you happy with the fight?

 

Art: I train very hard for this fight and he was a bad match for me. His boxing is much better so i knew i had to get on the inside and if i got it to the ground i'm like jaws...He wasn't getting away haha. But he hit's hard mang...I would be glad for rematch anytime.

 

TON: You have a highly aggressive style of BJJ but you mentioned the lack of boxing. Is that something you've been working on?

 

Art: Always...I feel i have the best BJJ in KNY at 205 but this is MMA mang. You gotta work standup so I've moved camps to Abobomination Training and i will be more well rounded for my next fight.

 

TON: You seem to already be at the top of the KNY 205 Ladder so who will your next opponent be?

 

Art: Ahh...It was Mateo Gonzalez but he backed out haha and thats a shame because he was very impressive in his fight. Now Fran Kubach most likely.

 

TON: Thanks Art and good luck. Be sure to see Art Vandelay at KNY 3: land of the free on 2010-01-02

*We showed up to Philly Dawgz Gym in New York to speak with LMS fighter, Eaton Cox, and got a surprise as he was accompanied by Christian Slaughter and Lucas LaVey.

Christian Slaughter, a former roadie for Suffocation and current Big Apple Combat fighter was flanked by Lavey, a former bouncer from Baltimore that is currently fighting for Konflikt NY, and Eaton Cox.

Both Cox and LaVey were coming off some quick wins in this weekend's fights and decided to get a quick session in before the weekend.*

Reporter: "Eaton, it's been awhile since you last fought, did you get in some more trouble?"

Cox: "Nope."...*laughs from everyone*..."I tried to get in this $100,000 Tournament out in L.A., got my release from LMS and actually got signed

to the L.A. org, but then I received word that I didn't make the cut so I contacted Dave F and we got the ball rolling once again."

 

Reporter: "Well, again, you had a very impressive fight. How were you feeling getting back into action against the once great CHUCK LADEELER?"

Cox: "The key word there was 'once'...LADEELER came into LMS at 4-0 and was the top dog but dropped all 3 fights in LMS.

One of his wins was against an old training partner of mine, Sal Pacino. I called up Sal and we dicussed some of LADEELER's tactics, made up a good gameplan and I executed it...somewhat."

 

Reporter: "Somewhat?"

 

Cox: "Yeah, he went down quicker than I planned and I finished him off. There's not much better than finishing off an opponent before you actually get to implement your gameplan."

...*Lucas LaVey begins laughing as he gets up and walks over to the vending machine*...

Reporter: "So were you excited to have Sal in your corner for this one?"

Cox: "Oh yeah. Honestly, I ain't seen the guy a whole bunch since he retired. It was cool."

 

Reporter: "So Christian, you're coming off a pretty impressive win yourself, although it has been almost a month. You enjoying the break or are you itching to get back out there?"

Slaughter: "I'm always ready to fight. I mean, it's been nice sparring and hittin' the weights but yeah, I could stand to beat some more ass soon.

Really, I wasn't even in the cage for 30 seconds."

 

...*LaVey returns and sits down*...

 

Slaughter: "I guess it's time to get in touch with Dana Fight and see what we can"...*Blackberry rings and he checks the call*..."speak of the devil."

...*Eaton gets up and walks over to the locker area*...

 

Cox: "Or shut up and train more so you don't have to rely on luck again!"

 

...*they all burst into laughter*...

 

Slaughter:...*covers the phone*..."Fuck off man! HAHAHAHA!"...*returns to call*...

 

Reporter: "Well I'm not so sure how much luck was involved but I'm sure he'll do fine either way. Lucas, you had an excellent debut last night.

Was there something you saw on film that led the way, or were you just doing what you do?"

LaVey: "Jus doin' what I do. I mean, I wanted ta knock the dude into early retirement n' I did jus that."

 

Cox: "Whaaat? No way man. Retirement? Really?"

 

LaVey: "Fa real man. Check this text out..."...*breaks out his Droid phone and pulls up a text message that confirms the retirement of Matthew Ortiz*..."Toldjya man.

I knocked him into retirement. Truss me man, I did him a favah. He ain't wantin' no moe of this fightin' shit. He can't handle it.

I even beat him so quick, Austin Campbell offered me a fight this weekend!"

 

Cox: "You gonna do that shit?"

 

LaVey: "Shit yeah bitch! I'ma fuck someone up! HAHAHA!"

 

Cox: "That's too soon though man...you're fuckin' crazy."

 

Lavey: "Should I be like you and take a few months off between brawls?"

 

...*Christian Slaughter returns*...

 

Slaughter: "Sweet. That was Dana Fight...I got Ernesto Guevara next. I guess it's the opening round of a Lightweight Tournament."...*slaps hands together*..."FUCK YEAH!"

 

LaVey: "Take it easy there 'roid rage'! When the fight at?"

 

...*they all share a short laugh*...

 

Slaughter: "Sorry guys...February 4th it is. I can't fuckin' wait."

 

Reporter: "I'm assuming Big Apple Combat will be announcing this soon?"

Slaughter: "I think so. Don't see why they wouldn't be."

 

Cox: "Damn man...I'd hate to be this Guevara guy...you got issues man."...*chuckles all around*...

 

Reporter: "So who's your next opponent Lucas?"

LaVey: "Moy Tie? I never heard of 'em but if he think he gon' clinch me up...he wrong."

 

Cox: "I've heard of that dude. He's pretty good actually. Decent wrestler and a Blue Belt...not much for punching though."

 

LaVey: That's alright...I ain't scared.

 

...*NumbaOne Stunna walks up*...

 

Stunna: "Yo LaVey! Nice fight kid!"

 

LaVey: "Thanks man."

 

Stunna: "Y'all goin' to da party?"

 

Reporter: "Party?"

 

LaVey: "We flyin' out tonight!"

 

Stunna: "Aight...see ya there. Peace!"

 

Reporter: "What was that all about?"

 

Cox: "JusDawg's birthday party out in L.A., at CROWN. JBomb's throwin' a HUGE party out there."

 

Reporter: "I see. Well, I don't want to take up anymore of your time if you guys got a plane to catch. Thanks fellas."

Cox: "No problem. Let's go boys..."

 

 

[j666]

*We caught up with Eaton Cox and Lucas LaVey at Primal Concrete Gym in Las Vegas.

Both men coming off impressive wins in their respective orgs this weekend, made the flight back a bit late, but still took time out of their day

to meet us here and answer a few questions.*

Reporter: "So Lucas, give us a rundown on your fight against Ducky Gonquer this weekend."

LaVey: "Rundown? Sheeeeit...did you think I'd lose to a dude named Ducky?"

 

*both men share a hearty laugh*...

Reporter: "Okaaaay? Well, Eaton, how about your fight with Captain KaNuckles?"

Cox: "Well, he wasn't a cartoon like I originally thought."...*more laughs*..."I kid, I kid...nah man, when Sal Pacino n' I were goin' over the tape, we

knew we had to come up with a plan to negate the muay thai. So we came up with the gameplan and I executed it."

 

Reporter: "Yeah, he looked rocked with that big right hand but almost clinched you up."

Cox: "Oh fer sure. That's why I threw the short knee.

I don't think I've ever even done that in sparring, let alone during a fight, but it was open and I took it...just didn't expect it to put the guy to sleep."

 

*Christian Slaughter comes over and sits down. He's drinking a bottled water and toweling off his sweaty face. He definitely just put in a good workout*...

Slaughter: "Sup fellas?"

 

Cox: "How's it hangin'?"

 

LaVey: "Wassup dude?"

 

Slaughter: "Abe Pope just kicked my ass all over the mat...dude's good."

 

Cox: "Wait 'til I get over here boy. You'll be spending so much time on your back, I'll have to pay ya afterwords! HAHAHA!"

 

*laughs all around*...

 

Cox: "Don't you be laughin' Lucas!...You're jiu-jitsu ain't shit neither!"

 

*more laughs*...

Reporter: "Christian, any word on your next matchup?"

Slaughter: "Yeah, I got the email a few days ago from Dana Fight...I got Evgeny...Nazgul? Dracula? Ummmm..."

 

LaVey: "Drakul moron! Goddamn man! You a dipshit sometimes!

 

Slaughter: "Oh fuck man! You know I was just messin' around. I know the guys name, damn! Can't I have my fun?"

 

LaVey: "Just don't take him too lightly man..."

 

Slaughter: "Do I ever?"

 

Cox: "Both of ya shut up!"

 

*both men do as told. Eaton seems to be the defacto leader of the NYC crew and commands their attention*...

Reporter: "What about your next matchup Lucas?"

LaVey: "I just got the call this mornin' from Austin. You guys be lookin' at the future Light Heavyweight Champ of Konflikt New York.

 

Reporter: "You'll be taking on Mateo Gonzalez?"

LaVey: "Hells yeah I am...n' I'm gonna win that shit too!"

 

Slaughter: "Congratulations bro. That's a tough fight. He ain't even been hit yet."

 

LaVey: "Ain't been tested you mean. I'm fixin' ta change all that though."

 

Slaughter: "Well, call it what you want, but that's a tough fight. We got your back though bro. I gotta hit the showers...later fellas."

 

Cox and LaVey: "Laters..."

 

Reporter: "So you guys stayed an extra night in New York.

What did you guys do? Stay and party? Find some girls?...anything cool?"

LaVey: "Actually, all three. We hooked up wit Offenhard after Eaton's fight n' we all mobbed up to tha Wu-Mansion and they threw us a killer fuckin' party."

 

Cox: "Yeah, it was kinda weird at first man. Two metalheads rollin' up into the Wu-Mansion n' whatnot. They were real cool though. We fit right in with the party.

Great booze, great women, great music..."

 

Reporter: "Eaton, aren't you married?"

Cox: "Well yeah but I wasn't out whorin' myself around. There was just some nice lookin' women there.

Any man appreciates a beautiful woman, but not all men are dirty dogs."

 

LaVey: "'cept for me! HAHAHA! I nailed like 5 hoes over there!"

 

*everybody laughs*...

Reporter: "Well, that's our cue...thanks for the time gentlemen."

LaVey: "Oh come on! Don't puss out now! HAHAHA! Can't handle the loooove machiiiiine!? HAHAHA!"

 

Cox: "Chill out man."

 

*I get up to leave and Cox follows me to the door. He apologizes for LaVey's crudeness but I really wasn't that offended.

I explained that the interview had ran it's course although, now, LaVey was really on one...yelling at me from across the room, calling me a pansy and such.

Eaton assured me that Lucas is just still pumped up from his win and it's nothing to worry about...but I wasn't worried.*

Hey this is Jack Ramsay and im coming to you today with a live exlcusive interview with newly crowned Konflikt NY Light Heavyweight Champion Mateo Gonzalez.

 

Jack: First and foremost welcome all and thanks for joining me Mateo. Im pretty sure your fans want to hear something from you regarding your win and upcoming defense against Lucas LaVey.

 

Mateo: No problem Jack and thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to do this for me. Well first i want to address a certain person that said something that hit me the wrong way. I was never scared of you nor was i ever ducking you Art, i was on a strict training schedule and i put it aside for my first fight to help the org. Now on the next thing 31 seconds is all it took and i became the new champ sorry Art....big smirk comes across Mateo's face....Jack im estactic it only took me 3 fights to become champion and man i havent been hit yet and i havent made it out of the first minute in a fight life's great right now.

 

Jack: Well nice to hear Mateo im pretty sure there's no hard feelings toward Art. But i really want to get your insight on your upcoming opponent LaVey. What do you think about him and whats your gameplan going to be.

 

Mateo: I dont really know how to judge him Jack, he has only been hit two times and he absolutely dominates people and i heard his head kicks are so devestating that they make fighters want to retire. Its going to be a good fight and im 100% sure that this fight will be the best that Konflikt NY has seen thusfar.

 

Jack: Ok Mateo nicely put well i wish u luck in the upcoming weeks and hope you retain your title and stay atop the 205 class.

 

Mateo: Thanks Jack and i will do my best to retain my spot at the top, im training harder for this fight than i have for my previous ones and come fight time i will leave it all in the cage.

 

Mateo gets up and shakes Jack's hand and walks away heading down the stairs into the training area...

 

Jack: Well he looks determined and i cant wait to see this epic battle in a few weeks. Well guys thanks for tuning in and see you next time this is Jack Ramsay signing off.
