In an impromptu interview, a reporter catches "The Filipino Fighter" Mandy Rigma just as he is about to leave after his fight in Island FC: Challengers. She quickly tries to get a few words from the newcomer.
Cute Reporter: "Excuse me! I'm Rebecca Styles from KYTV Sports, I was wondering if I can have a moment of your time to ask you a few questions Mr. Rigma?"
The Filipino Fighter nods as he puts down his gym bag.
Rebecca Styles: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you in your impressive victory in your debut at Island FC Mr. Rigma, a TKO in 54 seconds in the first round. How does that feel?"
Mandy Rigma: "Thank you Ms. Styles and it feels great! I trained my butt off for this fight and it's good to see it paid off. Mike Stacey is a competent fighter but I was just better and hungrier for the win tonight. I went in and just stuck to the game plan, and BAM! I got him down and proceeded to pound him until the referee stopped the fight."
The cute reporter nods and proceeds to the next question.
Rebecca Styles: "Now, I heard that you are a descendant from a bloodline of fighters? Is this true?"
Mandy Rigma: "Yes, that's true. You see I actually came from a bloodline of fierce warriors, my ancestors have defended the Philippines against Ferdinand Magellan and defeated him when he tried to forcibly convert them to Christianity. Not only that, my grandfather fought against the Japanese in the second world war and my father, well he's a police officer. So fighting is in my blood, though I decided to pursue a different route, in MMA. So tonight, I am here not only to represent the colors of my country but also to represent my bloodline, the bloodline of warriors."
Rebecca Styles seems impressed by Mandy's firm conviction and his background.
Rebecca Styles: "One last question before I let you go. Fresh out of this victory, you are already booked for a second fight in the upcoming Island FC 17 against Tobious "Chronos" Khan. What are your thoughts about that?"
Mandy Rigma: "Wow, word does get around fast. Yes I am, and my thoughts? Well... I'm going to do to Tobius Khan what I did to Mike Stacey, I'm going to get him to the ground and beat the hell out of him and take the win. Why? Because I'm The Filipino Fighter! I carry not only the pride of my last name but also the pride of my country! Oh yeah, I would also like to thank Hellraiser Fightgear for sponsoring me, thanks a bunch!"
Rebecca Styles: "Well thank you Mr. Rigma for your time and I wish you luck in you upcoming fight."
Mandy Rigma: "The pleasure is mine!"
Rebecca Styles: "For KYTV Sports, this is Rebecca Styles signing off!"
