Mellow Mood

 

Q. So Mellow, tell us about your upbringing.

A. Thanks for the interview. I was born Mellow Marley in Kingston, Jamaica. Mellow is Bob Marleys 3rd cousin on my moms side. However, after Bobs death, my parents changed my name to Mellow Mood in order to distance us from royal blood.

 

Q. How did you get into fighting?

A. I was always the most aggressive one in the Marley family. Maybe I just wanted to act out against my Mellow name, but I always had tons of energy as a kid. I could never sit still in drum circle like the rest of my family. I didnt inherit any of the family talent. I did however, inherit the families ugliest face. So I figured I may as well develop some scar tissue as an excuse.

 

Q. Good one. What is the favorite fight of your career?

A. Well, my first title win back from my days in Warzone was special, but id have to say my first 265+ title win at Synchronicity. Second round, about 2 minutes in I knew I rocked him. He tried to charge at me and I caught him with a jab for an instant KO. Winning that belt on such a big stage meant a lot to me.

 

Q. After 2 defenses, you walked away from Sync, and took over a year off. Why was that?

A. Truthfully, I didnt know if I still wanted to fight. It had definitely taken its toll on my body. I tried to take time off,But after about 6 months i felt restless. I knew I had to come back to the game.

 

Q. What are your plans for the future?

A. Im still fighting at a high level. I want to join another org. I want to get one more title shot. Ill go out on my shield if i have to, but i want my last fight to be for a title. In terms of after fighting, i might start a business making those stoner hoodies, or maybe a Yerba Mate tea business. As of right now, Im helping Arlo Flower Power Rochester with his striking. We have very similar striking abilities. All things considered, Im very excited for the future.
