How did you get into the world of MMA?
-It all started when I met my manager Brandt Stebbins who manages fighters. I started to go to MMA events with him and started to meet all the fighters. I watched some MMA fights before I met my manager but never understood it like I do now. So I admit at first I was not a diehard fan. It was not till I started spending a lot of time with Kimo Leopoldo that I became a diehard fan. The more he taught me about the sport the more I grew as fan that I am today. Other people who really helped my along the way are Mike "Joker" Guymon, RJ Clifford, Bobby Pittman, Chris Staab, and of course Sky Skrape from TapouT who has supported me thru this whole adventure.
What is your role as Ms. Tapout?
-Well I am a model and featured writer for TapouT Magazine. I also handle their social networking sites such as the MMA World Wide & TapouT Magazine fan page on Facebook.
What type of articles do you write for TapouT Magazine?
-I interview mainstream celebrities about their love for MMA. My first ever interview was with Cypress Hill's front man B-Real.
Who has been your favorite celebrity that you interviewed so far?
-I would say B-Real because he was so easy going and easy to talk to. I actually was contacted by B-Real a week after the interview and he asked me to be a co-host on his online show B-Real TV. Another fun celebrity was Steve-O from Jack Ass. He was so hilarious the whole time and such a sweetheart.
Are there any upcoming interviews you are particularly excited about?
-I have a lot that I am excited about! My next interview is with rapper/actor Ice T, and then I have Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed, David Draiman from Disturbed, Fred Durst, and Bizzy Bone from Bone Thugs on deck.
Who are your favorite MMA fighters?
-GSP (because he is a hottie and a bad ass fighter) and of course the man who got me into it all, the legend, KIMO!
What is something most people don't know about you?
-I am scared of clowns.
What are your hobbies and how do you spend your free time?
-Love going to fights, hitting the gym, training, relaxing at the beach, and whooping ass on some Black Ops!
What do you look for in a guy?
-Someone who can be yourself with me and they have to be real. There are too many fake people out there these days.
What are your turn-ons?
-I love guys with style and a sense of humor.
What are your turnoffs?
-Liars and bad hygiene
What would you say is your best feature?
-My stomach or my eyes.
What are your future plans or dreams in life?
-I am working on doing some more TV this year and also doing some music videos. I am actually working on a song with reggae legend Eek A Mouse right now. I am also still waiting on Dana to call me to be a UFC octagon girl. Dana, if you're reading this give me call ;)
