*We're live with Eaton Cox and JBomb at...Home Depot of all places.
Cox, who is close to starting his World Tour, has kindly given us 10 minutes of his time for a quick interview*...

Reporter: "Eaton, what are you doing at Home Depot?"

Cox: "Obviously, you're not a golfer."

Reporter: "What?...*Cox and JBomb begin laughing*..."Anyway, your opponent for your first stop on tour has been set. Any comment on Gracie?"

Cox: "Yeah, he seems pretty damn comfortable on the ground..."

JBomb: "You mean, outstanding..."

Cox: "Is she interviewing you?"

JBomb: "Sorry...carry on."

Cox: "Yeah, he's OUTSTANDING on the ground, but I ain't a chump by any means.
Not to mention, he has to get me on the ground before i knock his ass out and that's no easy task.
I'm looking forward to this matchup. He's a warrior with a great record. This is what I live for...WE live for."

Reporter: "11-1 is no joke. 10 by submission. Chump or no chump, you sure you want to go to the ground?"

Cox: "True and no. I don't necessarily want to go to the canvas with Gracie, but if that's where it goes, then so be it.
I'm comfortable in all areas of the cage."

Reporter: "JBomb, you and Gracie's manager go way back, correct?"

JBomb: "Yes. Carlos was the first person to ever really help me out when I owned Fighter's Formula in St. Petersburg.
I'm forever grateful for that and can't say enough about the guy. Absolute respect would be one way to put it.
Even his alliance, Boondock Fight Team, are all stand up individuals that garner an immense amount of respect worldwide.
That's one reason we got this deal with WCE in Rio...Mickey knuckles and I go way back to the Hellbent Inc. days.
Eaton too...Hellbent was his first sponsor in New York.
In fact, a lot of the companies that are helping us through this tour have been friends of ours for quite some time...which makes this whole tour idea very fun."

Reporter: "Anything to elaborate on Eaton?"

Cox: "Naw man...J summed it all up right there...n' stole my shine."

*Both men laugh*...

Reporter: "How about after Rio? Where to next?"

Cox: "Convicted in Los Angeles.
Again, good friend Chris Karter stepped up to the plate, as he has for us for a long time and has a fighter waiting for me...
but for now, we're just concentrating on Rio and Gracie."

Reporter: "Well said. Thanks for the time guys. Enjoy buying your...golf balls."

*Cox and JBomb laugh hysterically as they walk off*...

Fight #1 is in the books...

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.

Judge Leandro Rodrigues scores the fight 28:29

Judge Seu Braga scores the fight 28:29

Judge Daniel Cesar scores the fight 28:29

 

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Choice Gracie!

 

...*after Gracie's post-fight interview*...

Commentator: "We're here with a disappointed Cox. What happened with the fight Eaton?"

Cox: "If I knew that, I wouldn't have let it happen."

 

Commentator: "Was the trip from Las Vegas a factor?"

Cox: "No. I felt pretty good comin' in. I got some good cardio in over at Grappling Pro Fitness and didn't really feel any

jet lag, although I will say that the weight cut was something a bit different.

 

Commentator: "Yes. You took this fight at 155 but you normally fight at 170. That's a pretty big weight cut.

How much did it bother you in the fight?"

 

Cox: "Honestly, it was different but once the bell rang, it wasn't really on my mind.

I was simply outclassed in all phases of the fight. Great job by Gracie...he's an amazing fighter."

 

Commentator: "This was the first stop on your World Tour. Where do you go from here?"

 

Cox: "I'm gonna head home and get a bit of rest, then it's on to Convicted in Los Angeles.

This fight proved to me that i don't belong at Lightweight, I'm a true Welterweight and that's going the weight class for the remainder of the tour.

Sorry to the fans about my performance here but I assure you all...if I lose every damn fight, so be it, but this train isn't stopping for anything."

 

...*massive crowd applause*...

 

Commentator: "Give it up for Eaton Cox everyone!"

 

...*more applause as Eaton exits the cage*...

The Eaton Cox World Tour has been on a 2 week delay but will finally continue on.

This Sunday, Cox takes on Jerry Cho at Convicted Fight Night 6 in Los Angeles.

We caught up with Cox at Bubba's Barrel Of Beatdowns in Las Vegas to ask him a few questions.

He agreed but told us his time was limited because he is between training sessions with Milan Reynolds.

Reporter: "Eaton, thanks for your time. Your world tour has been delayed for a couple of weeks now.

Do you want to tell us what happened?"

Cox: "No problem. Chris Karter really wanted this to happen at his joint, Convicted.

After searching their Welterweight division, he and Tarmo found an opponent for me, Paul Tylor.

I didn't want to fight at Lightweight again and most of the Welterweights there were

coming off fights or already contracted to fights, so it got more difficult when Tylor declined."

 

Reporter: "How happy were you when they found veteran Jerry Cho?"

Cox: "Very happy. I ain't to sure where they found his ass but I'm very pumped up.

I give major props to Jerry and his manager, Jay Rocko, for takin' this fight. Thanks fellas."

 

Reporter: "Cho isn't exactly a high level opponent like Choice Gracie was. How does that sit with you?"

Cox: "It sits well. I ain't doin' this tour for hype.

I ain't in it for the money or stealin' org's championship belts. Hell, I really ain't even tryin' to ruin anyone's championship dreams

by knockin' them down the ladder. i'm doin' it to fight in every city.

Anyone that can step up and give me a fight, I appreciate...and I never take any opponent lightly.

Cho's been around the block, he knows what to do in the cage."

 

Reporter: "So you're in it for the glory."

Cox: "Of course, and that's hard to achieve when I don't have any opponents."

 

Reporter: "Well, it looks like you have one on Sunday. Good luck in the fight."

Cox: "Thanks, I gotta get goin' now."

 

Reporter: "See you later Eaton."

 

*Cox gets up and heads for the mats as Milan Reynolds walks in with a couple of dufflebags.*...

 

As the saying goes, "The show must go on", and this show is back on track. We'll try and get some

more interview time during the post-fight to determine where his fight in Hilo will take place.

We just got word that Ring Of Fire has been bought out by EFC but didn't have time to discuss that with Cox.

We're sure he'll find a suitable venue in Hilo for his next stop though, let's just hope it goes a bit

quicker than the last one. Speedbumps are bound to happen along the way.

Fight #2 is history...

 

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=199602

 

Cox working for a submission here. He's tucked his head under his opponent's arm, looking for an arm triangle.

He's hopped off into side control, looking to tighten the submission... is it going to work?

He's given up a good position looking for it. Cho looks OK.

Oh, I spoke too soon, he's out! That must have been tighter than I thought!

Excellent work there by Cox! Submission of the night perhaps?

Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Eaton Cox!

 

...*Eaton shares a hand shake with Jerry Cho as Cho exits the cage*...

 

Commentator: "We're here with the winner of the fight, Eaton Cox. Eaton, how does it feel to come out on top after a disappointing loss?"

 

Cox: "Feels fuckin' great! I'm glad I could come out to L.A. and pull out the win for the Convicted fans!"

 

...*massive applause*...

 

Commentator: "You landed an early takedown into full mount and never relinquished the position, ultimately pulling off the submission.

You're not really known as a submission artist. How good does it feel to win by tapout?"

 

Cox: "I mean, I'll take any win, any way I can, but it does feel pretty good."...*laughs*...

 

Commentator: "Did you feel any extra pressure with the world tour starting off with a loss?"

 

Cox: "Oh yeah, for sure. I tell ya what though...I do feel more comfortable fighting at 170 lbs.

Again, thanks to Cho for takin' this fight!...and my man Martin Cristos is gonna slaughter Paul Tylor on Friday!

You didn't want to fight me?...You wanted to fight Cristos?

You unleashed a can of bloodhungry worms when you agreed to that fight...believe that!"

 

Commentator: "So what's next? Where's the next stop?"

 

Cox: "Well, we were gonna go party with Chris n' Tony tonight! Then it's back home for a couple of weeks, then on to Hilo.

 

Commentator: "Where's the fight at in Hilo?"

 

Cox: "Well...it was supposed to be at Ring of Fire but the homie Big Boss sold it to go run Konflikt Rising Sun out in Tokyo.

I believe JBomb is in negotiations right now with Shiv VVhorra, of Blitzkrieg Fighting Championships, to get me a fight out there.

They have a massive roster and I'm excited as fuck to see who they got for me!"

 

Commentator: "Well congratulations Eaton and good luck in Hilo! Give it up for Eaton Cox, ladies and gentlemen!"

 

...*more applause as Eaton exits the cage*...

*Eaton Cox called me Sunday afternoon from the Bali Hai Golf Club, just off the strip in Vegas. He told me he had some good news

and asked if I could join him for a lunch break. Far be it from me to turn down an invitation to one of the finest courses in Las Vegas...I was in.

When I arrived, I was treated like a celebrity. I was escorted to Eaton's private table in the lavish Cili Restaurant. He told me to order whatever I wanted

and he would take care of it. I was impressed with the setup here, and the way Eaton took advantage of it.*

 

Reporter: "Eaton, this is incredible. How do you afford all of this?"

Cox: "I know some people, who know some people, who robbed some people."...*laughs*...

 

Reporter: "Well, you don't need to tell me twice."

Cox: "I like to dabble in the high life from time to time."

 

Reporter: "Apparently so. So what's the scoop?"

Cox: "I got my opponent for Hilo."

 

Reporter: "Oh really? Who is it and where's it going to be held?"

 

Cox: "Leonid Kulminator, at Blitzkrieg."

 

Reporter:...*coughs*..."Kulminator? At BFC? You're not messing around are you?"

Cox: "Chew your food, hahaha...no...I'm not fuckin' around at all. I got word from Matty Blayze and accepted immediately."

 

Reporter: "This is quite the test. Kulminator is..."

 

Cox: "I'm well aware of who and what he is. Buck lost his belt to Leonid remember?"

 

Reporter: "I was getting to that..."

 

Cox: "I'm sure you were. You were probably getting to the fact that JBomb is 0-2 against Zagray...right?"

 

Reporter: "Yes and..."

 

Cox: "It's kind of a revenge fight."

 

Reporter: "Will you let me ask the questions?"

Cox: "Eat your food. I paid a lot of money for it so sit back, listen and enjoy it."

 

Reporter: "Okay then..."

 

Cox: "Look, I wouldn't mind gettin' some revenge for Buck and JBomb, no doubt, but this ain't about them...it's about me and

I don't really dig on gettin' my ass kicked, so I don't really need any extra motivation here. Leonid is very capable

of making my flight to Sydney a shitty one and I don't want that. Me n' Sal Pacino have already been lookin' at tape on this guy and I'm

pretty confident that I have the skills to beat that ass, and that's exactly what i plan on doing. Let's not forget that he lost his last fight

against Moukari and then bailed for Hilo. I been gettin' texts like crazy tellin' me I can't beat him and good luck n' shit...fuck all that. He's

the one who should be lookin' out. He should be the underdog here. The only person givin' me any respect in this thing is Buck..."

 

Reporter: "Are you done?"

 

Cox: "No...Jesus Gonzalez wants to bite my tour idea? Really? That's fine. Go for it old man.

He'll be gettin' the senior discount on his flights halfway through the tour and will probably be in a wheelchair by the time he's finished."

 

Reporter: "Well, to be fair, it's not like you're the first person to come up with the idea for a world tour...bands do it all the time"

Cox:...*long pause*..."Yeah...I guess you're right."

 

Reporter: "Besides...it's Gonzo. How can you not respect that? The guy's a legend."

Cox: "I guess you're right. Sorry man...I've had a few too many brews."

 

...*Middleweight sensation, Johnny Cage comes over to the table and sits down*...

Cox: "The fuck happened to you man?"

 

Cage: "Ahhh...someone recognized me on the way to the can and I got ambushed for autographs."

 

Cox: "I bet it sucks being you."...*laughs*...

 

Cage:...*laughs..."Yeah bro, it's horrible...you ready yet?"

 

Cox: "Sure. We were just finishing up here anyway."

 

Reporter: "Johnny Cage? What are you doing here?"

Cage: "Bowling..."

 

...Cage and Cox erupt with laughter as they stand up from the table*...

 

Cox: "Ay...finish your plate, man. Thanks for comin' out."

 

*Cage and Cox walk away still laughing. It seems I'm the part of something hilarious without even knowing. I finished

the meal and then left for the office. I couldn't help but feel that this was one of the weirdest interviews I've ever been a part of, even if

I did get a killer meal in one of the nicest places I've ever been...and I got a glimpse at the amazing Johnny Cage.*

Fight #3

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=210056

 

Cox working from the bottom, still in full guard. He's managed to get a loose triangle.

Kulminator doesn't seem to be doing much to defend here, obviously he feels comfortable in the position.

Oh but Cox is tightening it up a little... Kulminator has to be careful here...

He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight!

Kulminator reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a

matter of seconds! YES! Kulminator taps out! nice BJJ there by Cox!

 

Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:01 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Eaton Cox!

 

...*Eaton cox shakes hands with Kulminator as he exits the cage*...

 

Commentator: "Eaton that was a HUGE victory! Congratulations!"

Cox: "Thanks. I couldn't have done it without my corner crew tho. Much love to those guys."

 

Commentator: "Yeah, we noticed that you walked to the cage with one of your teammates

Buck Norris, and a special guest...why don't you announce him for us."

Cox: "Well, in case you don't know who this dude is, it's Konflikt Rising Sun's Welterweight Champ, Augustus Moukari..."

 

Commentator: "This is interesting. So Norris, your teammate, comes out from Tokyo for your fight

and brings a rival fighter?"

Cox: "Yeah well, I called Buck and asked him for some help with the gameplan because I was sure he'd want a little

revenge. He tells me he's got someone that can help us out even further, Moukari.

Next thing I know, Moukari and Buck are watchin' film with me here in Hilo

and we were just comin' up with good shit. We came up with a real solid gameplan and I executed it...with their help."

 

Commentator: "Was intimidation part of that gameplan? I mean, Kulminator had to be a be a bit surprised

when he saw Moukari in your corner."

Cox: "Maybe? Maybe not. You'd have to ask him about all that. All i cared about was comin' out here and showin'

these Hilo fans what I can do."

 

...*applause*...

 

Commentator: "So it's on to Sydney right?"

Cox: "Yeah. I'll be fighting at The Fallout. I fly out tonight but not before we get to party BFC style!

Thanks to all those guys for makin' this fight happen, the gyms and Skinny Vince for the phat sponsorship!"

 

Commentator: "Will you be doing 2 fights in Sydney still?"

Cox: "Naw man. I got a legend chasin' my dream. I'm flattered but I wanna win this race, so it's one n' done in Sydney

for sure."

 

Commentator: "Well congratulations on the win and good luck in Sydney...give it up for Eaton Cox folks!"

...*more applause*...

 

Cox: "Ay, I just wanna say thanks to Leonid Kulminator and his manager, for takin' the fight, and all these badass

fans for showin' up and cheerin' me on! Mahalo nui loa!"

 

...*the crowd goes wild as Eaton leaves the cage*...

*When I received the phone call from the acclaimed Observatory Hotel, I did not expect it to be from Eaton Cox. I knew he was

on tour, and currently in Sydney, but most MMA fighters do not travel this well. Eaton is not most MMA fighters and his manager

is not like most managers. These guys have money, they have friends with money and they're not afraid to use it.

 

Eaton asked me to come by for an interview. He just signed the contract to The Fallout - Vault MMA and found out who

his opponent would be. I told him I'd be over as soon as I could get across town. I needed something like this to fall in my lap.

I don't get this lucky very often.

 

I arrived at the hotel and was surprised at how much nicer it was in person. The lobby was breathtaking.

Eaton was waiting for me there.*

 

http://www.fivestaralliance.com/files/fsa/nodes/2009/10415/472_15_observatory_fsa-g.jpg

 

Reporter: "Eaton, nice to meet you. This place is great!"

Cox: "Thanks for comin' by. Yeah, it's real nice here."

 

Reporter: "How did you get enough to stay here?"

Cox: "Don't worry about all that. I didn't ask you here to do a hotel review."

 

Reporter: "Oh, sorry. I guess I just got a bit caught up. So who's next in line on the tour?"

Cox: "Nai Khanom Tom. He's managed by Petro Farantini who runs Konflikt Down Under here in Sydney.

He's a good friend of JBomb's"

 

Reporter: "So why didn't you have the fight at Konflikt Down Under?"

Cox: "Jason couldn't get in touch with Petro? I don't know, your guess is as good as mine. I don't know much about the paperwork

side of the business. I'm just glad Petro had someone who was ready to fight. I've already been delayed twice now."

 

Reporter: "There was another delay?"

Cox: "Walk with me..."

 

...*we began walking. Eaton had jet lag and didn't feel like sitting or standing still*...

Cox: "I get off the plane and Marvin Artist sends a car. On our way through town, he calls and says he left

The Church Of Elijah (alliance) and now there's issues with getting an opponent lined up. I guess the original guy was C.O.E.

but then refused due to the squabble. So, once again, I was left wondering about an opponent and had a later fight date

than planned...October 9th. In the meantime, I decided to go look for a gym. I made a few calls and got in touch

with Adam Knight over at Apotheosis.

 

Reporter: "Apotheosis is private, correct?"

Cox: "Yes it is...and fuckin' immaculate. You should see the place. He's got the damn painting of 'The Apotheosis" on the

goddamn ceiling! It is one of the cleanest, well kept gyms I've ever seen."

 

Reporter: "Sounds amazing."

Cox: "It is but I had to leave."

 

...*we walked through the lounge and Eaton decided to order a drink*...

Cox: "You thirsty?"

 

Reporter: "Not really."

Cox: *grabs the drink from the bartender*..."Your loss. Anyway, where was I?"

 

Reporter: "Leaving Apotheosis?"

Cox: "Oh yeah...so, they were limited on coaches there and I had to find another gym. I'm not too keen on the Sydney scene, so I was

at a loss. Finally, JBomb calls and tells me to get in touch with Arran Newson over at Sydney Shootfighting. Newson tells me I gotta

speak with his partner, Don Logan. Let me tell ya, this guy is a hoot! We immediately hit it off and he has Newson let me in the gym for

a week or so."

 

Reporter: "So it's Sydney Shootfighting then? How do you like it?"

...*we walk into one of the most amazing rooms I've ever seen. It was the pool room*...

http://www.concierge.com/images/destinations/hotels/australia_pacific/australia/sydney/observatory/sydney_hotel_001p.jpg

 

Reporter: "Holy shit!"

Cox: "What?"

 

Reporter: "This room...it's..."

Cox: "Fuckin' awesome huh? I bout shit when I came in here the first time."

 

Reporter: "Wow..."

Cox: "You still with me? Hahaha...let's sit in here for a minute."

 

Reporter: "Okay..."

Cox: "The gym is cool but I haven't done any training yet. We doin' that Monday. Funny thing though...Don Logan calls me and tells me he

has this coach who's kind of a douchebag, Cleo Blankenship. He says he's a washed up fighter and is bitter at all the new talent at the gym.

So I'm getting my locker set up and in walks Cleo! Now, I'm thinkin' this is gonna get ugly real quick right? Lo and behold, he pipes off with

some 'rookie-do-this!' bullshit. I jump up to get in a more ready position and the fucker swings on me!"

 

Reporter: "Then what?"

Cox: *laughs*..."I dodge the punch and the guy falls flat on his face! HAHAHA! Get this...it turns out, this fuckin' guy is the

goddamn punch tech coach! HAHAHA! Really! I restrain him with a full nelson, yeah...a full nelson!

The entire locker room is bustin' up! I tell him that if he doesn't say he's sorry, I'm gonna whip out my cock and slap him in the face with it!

He apologized real quick after that, HAHAHA!"

 

...*we laugh for a good 5 minutes*...

Reporter: "So none of the other fighters there were mad?"

Cox: "Hell no! They're all sick of his shit! In fact, they invited me to a lunch BBQ at the gym!"

 

Reporter: "That is awesome!"

Cox: "I know, right? It doesn't get any better than that!"

 

Reporter: "Oh man...it doesn't. Hey, tell me about this opponent of yours...Tom."

Cox: "Shit, I ain't seen any film yet. Don Logan's gonna send some to the gym tomorrow. All I know is the guy's a muay thai freak.

He's an epic striker that's 5-0. One of the guys in the gym told me about him but until I see his fights, I really can't give an

accurate assessment.

 

Reporter: "I haven't covered any of his fights but my boss says the guy is a total beast."

Cox: "So I heard. I don't know, I may get killed in this one but I ain't scared of no one. Anyone can be beat. It's just a matter

of imposin' your will and makin' it happen. I'll be lookin' to do that come fight night...oh, and the fight is 5 rounds."

 

Reporter: "Is it for the championship?"

Cox: "No, no...I'm assumin' Marvin wants it 5 rounds to secure a finish of some sort. Hell, if I had it my way, all fights would be 5 rounders.

Guys are so technical and skilled these days, it's hard to get a finish. There's a lot of guys out there that fight for a decision, fight for points.

You put those guys in a 5 rounder and the attitude changes up a bit. Now they wanna finish it as soon as they can. 25 minutes is an awful

long time to fight...better kick up the intensity and be done with it."

 

Reporter: "Did you happen to catch the Gonzalez/Millen fight?"

Cox: "Oh! Yes I did! Good fight, if you can call it that. Gonzalez is a legend but damn, man! That Millen sumbitch is a baaad man! Dude's

had 10 fights and he's only seen the 2nd round once...once! How fuckin' incredible is that?! I mean, I don't know if Jesus has the best chin

or not but Millen must have sledgehammers for hands. That guy is just fuckin' sick!"

 

Reporter: "Was it gratifying to see Jesus lose like that on the first stop on his world tour?"

Cox: "Not at all. Like I said, the dude's a legend. Maybe he's on the downside, maybe he's not. You gotta give him props for steppin' up

to the plate like he always has. He has fought some of the best fighters around. Some you win and some you lose...it's just the nature

of the sport. I sure wouldn't mind if he slowed down a bit though, hahaha...he's already famous, I'm just workin' on it."

 

Reporter: "Well Eaton, thanks for your time. This is a great place to stay and a great city to be in. I hope you come back some time.

There's a lot to take in but I know you're going to be busy getting ready for the fight."

Cox: "Well, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

 

Reporter: "What?"

Cox: *laughs*..."Nevermind."

 

Reporter: "Good luck with your fight. We'll be rooting for ya."

Cox: "Thanks..."

Fight#4

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=217394

 

Ladies and gentlemen, after 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.

Judge Damien Edna scores the fight 45:50

Judge Eliza Hachem scores the fight 48:48

Judge Bruno Hogan scores the fight 46:49

 

In favor of your winner, by majority decision... Nai Khanom Tom !

 

 

...*Cox bows to Tom after his post-fight interview*...

 

 

Commentator: "Eaton, that's a tough loss. Give us your thoughts on the fight."

Cox: "Dude's good."

 

Commentator: "That's it? Nothing else?"

Cox: "Well, thanks to Marvin Artist for making this happen after facing a bit of adversity. Thanks to Tom and his manager, Petro

Farantini, for stepping up from out of nowhere. Total class acts all the way around. Also, thanks to Adam Knight at Apotheosis,

Don Logan and Arron Newson from Sydney Shootfighting, Tats McGee over at White Gorilla and my Sydney takedown coach,

Deon Koch."

 

Commentator: "Anyone else?"

Cox: "Yeah...these awesome Sydney fans! You guys are great!"

 

...*huge applause*...

 

Commentator: "Was Tom's muay thai too much or was it game plan? Give us something here."

Cox: "His muay thai is amazing, but I felt like I defended it well with the wrestling. I just didn't get it going on the mat like i had hoped

which ultimately cost me in the judges eyes."

 

Commentator: "What's next on the tour?"

Cox: "Tokyo...an alliance city. Can't wait to get out there and see my boys. FIGHTER'S PIT!"

 

Commentator: "Well, good luck out in Tokyo. Give it up for Eaton Cox everybody!"

...*more crowd applause as Eaton leaves the cage*...

*Tokyo, The "Eastern Capital", home to all that is weird. Home of some of the greatest MMA Fight Orgs,

such as the now defunct PRIDE and Choke and inactive DIFO. Current orgs like PFL, ASTRAL, ONI

and Konflikt Rising Sun.

The latter being the focus of this interview. The Eaton Cox World Tour has landed in

The Land of the Rising Sun and Konflikt is the where the fight takes place. Originally, the fight was to

take place at PFL but due to PFL's recent mergers, Jus Dawg just didn't have a spot open for it to happen.

JBomb, never the worrier, called upon another long time friend, Big Boss, former owner of Ring of Fire

in Hilo and current Rising Sun owner, and the two agreed immediately.

 

We caught up with Eaton Cox at a local sushi bar. He was flanked by teammates Buck Norris, former

Rising Sun Welterweight Champion and and Sean Ripgut, current Rising Sun Heavyweight Champion.

Another teammate of theirs, Mikael Samoth, was not present. We took a seat at their table and asked a

few questions.*

Reporter: "Eaton, this is a hell of a place! How do you like Tokyo so far?"

Cox: "I'm drinking sake with two friends while eating sushi off of a naked woman...what do you think?"

 

...*all three men laugh*...

Reporter: "Very sophisticated to say the least. Your stop in Sydney resulted in your second loss on the tour.

what are your thoughts on Sydney, Farantini and the Tom fight?"

Cox: "Sydney is incredible. Very underrated city. We all know Petro has Konflikt Down Under and is the

godfather of Sydney. Once Adam Knight closed The Syndicate, the city was open and Petro took it. There's

a lot more to it than that though. Marvin Artist over at The Fallout is an excellent owner to work with. Adam Knight

is still in town, even though he's a bit more low key and we went to some fights over at AXF and they were

awesome. Don't sleep on Sydney man, it's a kick ass place!"

 

Reporter: "...and the Tom fight?"

Cox: "That dude is amazing. He's so technical with his striking. I couldn't keep up and when I did get it to

the ground, his defense was very tough. I just couldn't get it done and had to move on. It was a very fun

fight though, a real test."

 

Ripgut: "Yeah, a test to see how you can take a loss! HAHAHA!"

 

Norris: "Sean!"

 

Cox: "It's all good Buck. Rip is a funny bastard...ain't that right Sean?!"

 

Ripgut: "Damn right! HAHAHA! I'm gonna go get some beers!"

 

...*Ripgut leaves the table*...

Reporter: "So who's the opponent here in Tokyo?"

Cox: "You're not gonna believe this but...Moukari."

 

Reporter: "Oh really? Isn't that a bit...weird?"

 

Cox:...*holds out his arms*..."This is Tokyo baby! Everything's weird here!"

 

...*a commotion from the lobby grabs our attention*...

Norris: "That sounds like Sean. I better get him outta here...meet you at the gym in 20?"

 

Cox: "Sounds good...fuckin' Sean man!"

 

Reporter: "What gym?"

Cox:...*wipes his face and throws down his napkin*..."Damage. We're gonna check some tapes."

 

Reporter: "Mind if I tag along?"

Cox: "Wait til we're done. Give us a couple hours?"

 

Reporter: "Will do."

 

...*Cox leaves the table and the commontion seems to have moved outside. As I leave, I see Buck Norris

shoving Ripgut into a brand new Lexus LFA*...

 

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01607/lexus-lfa-3_1607597c.jpg

 

...*I arrived at the legendary Damage Gym and all the lights were out. I called Eaton to tell him I was there.

He told me to head around back. The door opened and there was Mikael Samoth. Apparently, he stayed

behind to get the tapes of Moukari ready. He lead me to Manu Bradcock's film room. He never said a word.

 

When I got to the film room, Norris, Ripgut and Cox were still discussing the tapes. They stopped when they

saw me.*...

 

Reporter: "This is a great room. Kinda home theater like."

Norris: "Yeah, Manu likes to sit in here and watch Japanese gore flicks."

 

Ripgut: "You mean Japanese bukkake flicks! HAHAHA!"

 

Norris: "Fuckin' take it easy Sean."

 

Ripgut: "Shut up ya stick in the mud."

 

Reporter: "Guys, guys! Where were we?"

Cox: "Moukari...and it being weird."

 

Reporter: "Right...didn't Moukari help you with the Kulminator fight?"

Cox: "Yeah, he did. He even flew out to Hilo with Buck and walked out to the cage with us. The guy has

a knack for breakin' down fights. It was awesome to work with him. Now I gotta figure out a way to break

him down and kick his ass."

 

Ripgut: "Somethin' Buck's never done..."

 

Norris: "Man, get the fuck outta here! Go find some weights or somethin'!"

 

Ripgut: "Shut up..."

 

Reporter: "GUYS!"

 

Cox: "Don't mind them, they're just like that constantly. Anyway, it won't be easy to beat Moukari, he's one

top notch son of a bitch. Want a drink?..."

 

Reporter: "Sure...So what's your plan for the fight?"

 

...*Cox pours me a half glass of Hennessy Ellipse*...

http://media.canada.com/reuters/ReutersUSOnlineReportLife_iptc/2007-10-09T112604Z_01_NOOTR_RTRIDSP_2_LIFE-COGNAC-LUXURY-HENNESSY-DC.jpg

 

Cox: "What's my plan?...win...*chuckles*...c'mon, you know I can't tell you that. I'm gonna do what I

have to though. Hopefully it goes my way. Buck hasn't exactly had good luck against the guy."

 

Norris: "Dude..."

 

Cox: "Well, it's true. You're 0-2 against him. You'd love it if I got another taste of vengeance like I did

against Kulminator, right?"

 

Norris: "Of course I would. Really though, I'm kinda friends with the guy. He's a good dude and a

tremendous talent. Maybe, one day, I'll figure it out and beat him once. now THAT would be sweet!"

 

Cox: "Kinda like this cognac!"

 

...*Ripgut cracks open another can of beer*...

Ripgut: "Fuckin' queers with your queer drinks!"

 

...*Cox and Norris laugh as Ripgut announces he is leaving. Norris says he's leaving also and Cox decides

he's gonna stay and watch the Moukari fights again. He wants to win this fight very badly. I'm not sure if

he has what it takes to knock off the #2 Welterweight in Tokyo, but if he loses, it won't be from lack of

preparation.*

*I met up with Eaton Cox at The Royal Park Hotel in Central Tokyo. I was surprised when he called and asked

me to come down to the hotel. I knew his stay in Tokyo would be a bit longer, at least until after the St. Petersburg

fight, because it is an alliance-friendly city. The Fighter's Pit is well represented in Tokyo and I can't blame him for

wanting to keep the travel to a minimum, but I just spoke with him a few days ago, so my curiosity was piqued

 

We met in the lobby and then headed for his suite. While we were in the elevator, he called Mr. Terror, the owner

of Terror-Trition and main sponsor of the tour, only to get his voicemail. He explained that his sponsorship was up

and he wants to see if Mr. Terror wants to renew before he starts seeking other sponsors.

 

We walked into an immaculate suite.*

 

http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/to/tokyo-royal-park-hotel.jpg

 

Reporter: "Eaton, I thought you were staying at Buck's?"

Cox: "I was, but he n' JBomb are in the middle of a...dispute, and he's on the phone til all hours of the night.

I need to relax a bit and enjoy my time before the fight. Naturally, I came here."

 

Reporter: "What's the dispute about?"

 

Cox: "I don't know much, just what Buck has mentioned. I think Buck wants out of the contract and, from the sound

of the conversation, it seems JBomb may want the same."

 

Reporter: "JBomb is going to release Norris? They been working together for a long time."

Cox: "Yeah, it's been like 6 or 7 years now. Buck and I are original 4 and it would be a sad day to not have him

part of the team. He's pretty much our captain, our leader, the glue...Plus, he keeps Sean in line out here which

is no easy task, as you witnessed the other night. You hungry? I'm starvin'..."

 

Reporter: "Sure, I could eat."

...*we exit the suite and head back down the elevator*...

Cox: "In my eyes, the guy is one of the more underrated guys out here in Tokyo. He's fought in PRIDE, DMDFC, Choke,

was part of the only Welterweight fight at D.I.F.O., and was the one of the first 5 signees to Rising Sun...back when

it was still Combat Pro, and eventually became the first Welterweight Champion there. He held that shit for quite

awhile too."

 

...*we sit down at a table and Eaton orders quickly*...

http://www.fnetravel.com/english/tokyo/royalparkhotel/royal-park-hotel-restaurant1.jpg

 

Cox: "Hopefully they'll work it out but I ain't ever heard them argue like this. I seriously thought J was gonna fly out

personally, just to get in his face about it. These things are bound to happen though so let's just hope they work it out."

 

Reporter: "You seem to really like this tour. Anything in particular that you like? the fights? the travel? the people?"

Cox: "All of it really. It's great to get out and see the world. There's a lot out there to be offered, something for everyone.

The fans in all the cities have been awesome. Win or lose, it pumps me up to hear them cheerin' n' hollerin'. It's also

been cool to work with some people I've never worked with, train at non-alliance facilities, go watch fighters I've never

seen before...all of it, just awesome."

 

Reporter: "Do you miss your wife and son?"

Cox: "Of course I do! They know though, they know...Daddy's got a job to do and he's gotta go do it. I miss my friends

too. Another reason why I like being in Tokyo so much, I got alliancemates out here. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the

alone time in Sydney, but it is nice to see some familiar faces. This is the life we lead though, rock stars, sometimes it

appears glamorous but it's a lot of work involved. With that work comes a ton of satisfaction as well...I wouldn't have it

any other way."

 

Reporter: "Your first 10 fights were all in New York, at Last Man Standing, where you eventually became the champion

of the Welterweight division. How did you feel when LMS closed?"

Cox: "I don't know. It was bittersweet for me. I was young then n' constantly tryin' to get away from LMS. It was nothin'

against Dave F really. I just thought I was better than what the organization had to offer. Every time I asked for a release,

Dave granted it but it never panned out so I always ended up back there. Then Dave finally gave me a shot at the title,

I won it, defended it and suddenly...I wanted to stay, but he closed down. I mean, what karma huh? life's a bitch sometimes."

 

Reporter: "You're known as a finisher. Of your ten wins, five are via (t)ko, five are via submission and no decisions.

Looking at your record, the majority of those (t)ko's are in the middle of your career, the last of which coming in your title

defense against Tyke Mison. Any reason for the drop off?"

 

Cox: "Well, I started out as a ground guy, Jiu-Jitsu was my thing. When I lost to Kai Deliz via submission, I decided I had

better learn how to stand and bang. I got thrown in jail after my first fight with Freeman and while I was there, I hit the

weights pretty hard. When I got out, I felt very strong, very hard and I wanted to prove it. I came out swingin' after that

and kind of shirked on the ground trainin', focusin' only on Boxin'.

Next thing I know, I'm knockin' fuckers out. I realized I had some power that I never knew I had prior to that.

Either way, I don't like judges. I've had bad luck with them and to some degree, they caused the meltdown that landed me

in the clink, so yeah...not a fan."

 

...*we finish the meal and Cox wants to go to the hot tub, it was cold out so I couldn't turn that down*...

http://images.travelaffiliatepro.com/hotelimages/WR/TYOST/A1001001A07L19A83139J96233W300.jpg

 

Reporter: "Since the tour started, two of your wins have come by submission and the two losses have come by decision.

Where's the (t)ko? Where and when did the change happen?"

Cox: "I'm not sure where the (t)ko went but after the Mison fight, I wanted to go back to my roots and started to

work on my ground skills again. My fight in Rio was against a ground oriented guy in Choice Gracie, so obviously I had

to beef up the Jiu-Jitsu, just in case it went to the ground. Unfortunately, it didn't work out as well as I hoped but he couldn't

finish me off. Tom was more of a striker and he couldn't finish me off either. Like I said though, I've had bad luck with the

judges and neither went in my favor...so on with the show."

 

Reporter: "This hot tub kicks ass."

Cox: "So does this one. It's a bit hotter than I like but I can deal, hahaha!"

 

Reporter: "Yeah, it's a good problem to have!...So what are you gonna do when this is all over?"

Cox: "Wow! That's a damn good question! I ain't really thought about that. Shit, maybe I'll just do it again! HAHAHA!"

 

Reporter: "If it's like this the whole time, I don't blame ya!"

...*a man, in a black suit, enters the hot tub room with two gorgeous women*...

Suit Man:...*bows*..."Compliments of Ripgut-san!"...*bows and exits the room, the women stay*...

Cox: "That fuckin' Ripgut is gonna be the death of me."

Fight #5

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=228692

 

Cox seems like he's working for an arm triangle here. He's freed his trapped foot and he's rotating nicely.

Moukari is in big trouble! He's tapping out! This one is aaaaaaaaaaaall over!

 

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:04 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Arm Triangle). Eaton Cox!

 

...*Cox and Moukari have a few words, shake hands and Moukari exits the cage*...

Commentator: "Ladies and gentlemen give it up for Eaton Cox!"

...*massive applause*...

 

Commentator: "Eaton, the intensity for this fight was very high considering your relationship with Moukari. Give us your

thoughts on the fight and how you were feeling coming in."

 

Cox:...*with Norris, Ripgut and Pacino behind him*..."Well, we definitely know each other well, our camps know each

other well n' our managers also. There were no secrets comin' into this one. Moukari n' Rattler are masters at breakin' down

fights. We saw how he prepared when he came in n' helped us for the Kulminator fight. We implemented a few of those

ideas into this fight n' luckily, it worked out for me and I pulled off the win."

 

Commentator: "You played it very cool on the ground and at times, the action seemed to die down a bit. This seemed to

upset the crowd at times. Did that bother you at all? Did you even notice?"

 

Cox: "No I didn't, never do. I'm very focused out there. Whenever you have fighters that are that good on the mat, you

have position battles. You can't drain yourself while fighting for that position, otherwise you'll have nothin' left in the tank

to finish. I was just bidin' my time, waitin' on that moment where I knew I could explode into my hold and get the tap. It

ain't always pretty!"

 

...*more applause*...

 

Commentator: "So now you're off to St. Petersburg, correct?"

Cox: "That's right. MKFC to be exact. I'll be trainin' here in Tokyo until the fight though. My wife n' kid'll fly out a few days

before, then we all fly to St. Petersburg for the fight which should be Thanksgiving weekend."

 

Commentator: "Sounds awesome Eaton. Any shout out tonight?"

Cox: "Yeah man."...*grabs the mic*..."Thanks to Big Boss, Matthias Rattler n' Augustus Moukari for the fight. You guys

are awesome. Thanks to Bushido Clothing for sponsorin' the Tokyo leg. Thanks to my corner man, Sal Pacino. Thanks to

all you psychotic Tokyo fans!"...*huge applause*..."And thanks to all The Fighter's Pit guys out in Tokyo. TEE! EFF! PEE!"

 

Commentator: "Good luck out in St. Petersburg! Give another round of applause for Eaton Cox folks!"

...*the crowd roars as Eaton exits the cage*...

*Winter, a hell of a time to be travelling Northern Europe...namely, Russia, Finland and The Netherlands.

It would take a hell of a lot more than snow and ice to slow down The Eaton Cox World Tour though. Eaton

arrived in St. Petersburg late last night and this time, he had is family with him. He fights at MKFC on

Thanksgiving day and JBomb flew his family out to meet him in Tokyo. Together they flew to St. Petersburg

to enjoy the sights and share some quality family time, something they have not had much of during this

tour.

 

I met up with with the Cox family at the Church on Spilled Blood. Eaton introduced me to his wife, Sharon

and son, Reuben. I was going to make a comment about the names but Sharon didn't seem like the type to

take the joke well. They're a nice looking family regardless of names and when it was time to talk to Eaton

about the upcoming fight and holiday plans, Sharon took Reuben inside the cathedral. It was damn cold outside

and Eaton didn't want to disturb the cathedral folk with a lot of talking.*

 

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3252/2383547015_b5830c742d.jpg

 

Reporter: "So Eaton, your next opponent is Miyoshi Kazuhide. I think you have an edge in the standup game

but do you think his wrestling can neutralize your jiu-jitsu?

Cox: "Well, neither one of us got a much higher advantage in any aspect of mma, even experience. This is one

of them deals where we both go out there, let our chips fall n' see where it goes."

 

Reporter: "So what type of game plan are you going for? You do have a slight standup advantage and he has

been knocked out before."

 

Cox: "Honestly, I haven't watched any film or done any study yet. I been spending time with my family here n'

we'll look at some stuff the night before. I've pulled off some good wins that way in the past, let's hope it works

again."

 

Reporter: "So you basically traded in preparation for family time? That's a bit risky."

Cox: "Not as risky as letting my family slip through my fingers."

 

Reporter: "Good point. Do they celebrate Thanksgiving in Russia?"

Cox: "I doubt it."

 

Reporter: "Do they have turkeys in Russia?"

Cox: "I don't know. It might be hard to come by but Thanksgiving ain't about no damn turkey. It's about family,

gratitude and respect. Turkey ain't got nothin' to do with any of that...but it would be nice."

 

Reporter: "So, Thanksgiving dinner before or after the fight?"

Cox: "Tomorrow. I don't want that much food before I go fight. That's just idiotic."

 

Reporter: "Why so early?"

Cox: "Well, after the fight, I fly out to Amsterdam n' get ready for the Helsinki fight and the wife n' kid fly home."

 

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h31eKtAjync/S0ZkBdfw0vI/AAAAAAAABS8/WAw1lXY37j0/s320/IMG_4904.JPG

 

Reporter: "So what happened with JBomb and Norris? Did they get things patched up or what?"

Cox: "For the time bein'. Who knows how long it will last though. I really thought they were partin' ways this time.

Too bad Phil got the axe instead."

 

Reporter: "I saw that. Any clue as to why Phil got dropped?"

 

Cox: "Phil's gangster as they come. He loves to brawl n' would die for any of us but when it comes to MMA, he gives

it his all in every aspect except the gym. He's riding off pure talent n' JBomb knows that it will only go so far. He's

been told a few times to pick it up, not just by J but by Rolen too, n' he just never did. Rolen's pretty upset but mostly

at Phil. Those two ain't even talkin' anymore."

 

Reporter: "Wow. That's a shame."

Cox: "Yeah man, they been friends since high school n' shit."

 

Reporter: "So..."

 

...*Sharon walks up and asks if we want to go to the Kazan Cathedral. Eaton tries to hail a cab but Sharon suggests

we walk. It really wasn't that far and the walk was nice. Eaton's son Reuben is quite the little comedian*...

 

http://xf1.xanga.com/e97f541a21731265414124/z211660992.jpg

 

Sharon Cox: "Wow. That's beautiful!"

 

Reporter: "Yes it is."

Eaton: "This is awesome. Interview over. We'll talk when the fight is done, let's enjoy this for a bit."

Fight #6

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=238403

 

Well Cox has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today.

Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.

Judge Ivan Kurochkin scores the fight 30:27

Judge Konstantin Menshow scores the fight 30:27

Judge Viktor Lagutenko scores the fight 30:27

 

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Eaton Cox!

...*crowd booing, Cox and Kazuhide shake hands and Kazuhide exits the cage*...

 

Commentator: "Hey, hey, no need for that...Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm here with the winner, Eaton Cox. Eaton, this is the first

time you've won by decision. How do you feel about that and this fight here tonight?"

Cox: "Well, I don't really like it. I know I'm supposed to say a win is a win but that didn't feel like a win. I don't feel like I lost

or anythin' like that...I'm just used to finishin' opponents. Hats off to Kazuhide n' his manager. That's a good fighter there with

a tremendous amount of skill on the ground."

 

Commentator: "Was his wrestling ability too much to overcome?"

Cox: "Yeah, he really neutralized everythin' I was tryin' to do. My apologies to all these fans. That's 15 minutes of their lives

they'll never get back. Hopefully, the other great fighters on this card kept them entertained enough."

 

Commentator: "Is it true you didn't look at much film for this fight? What effect did it have on this particular fight?"

Cox: "It's true. I had my family out here for Thanksgiving n' just couldn't find the time to look at any film until last night. I really

don't know how much difference it would have made though. I haven't seen my family in quite some time so I wasn't gonna trade that

in for a fancier win."

 

...*more boos*...

 

Commentator: "Nevermind them Eaton, so what's next for you on the tour?"

Cox: "Well, my wife n' kid fly back to the states in a few hours. I fly out to Amsterdam tonight n' will hole up there for the Helsinki,

Amsterdam n' London stops. I'll be in contact with Claymore Elite Combat in the next few days to sort out the contract stuff n' we'll go from

there.

I just wanna say Happy Thanksgiving to my wife n' son back at the hotel, n' thanks to Paul Dengel. He's an awesome guy to work for. Very

involved n' informative. Thanks everybody."

 

Commentator: "Eaton Cox ladies and gentlemen."

 

...*a few claps but mostly boos as Cox exits the cage*...

http://www.romantic-vacations-destinations.com/images/amsterdam-night.jpg

 

*Amsterdam, home of hash bars, hookers and Hell's Balls. There's a large campus of warehouses to the south of town.

This campus is the Hell's Balls Headquarters...or as other know it, Hell's Playground.

Offices for two fight organizations, multiple clothing and nutrition companies and multiple gyms both private and

organization fighters only, make up the majority of "The Playground" but there's also a dormitory for any fighters not

currently living in Amsterdam but are in town for a fight. There's also a market and a fill up station on campus as well.

 

Hell's Playground has taken over Amsterdam and they got them by the balls.

 

I arrived at Hell's Playground and was greeted by two rather large individuals that i can only assume were security.

They didn't look like normal security, more like shylocks. I didn't know if they were armed but judging by their tone

when they made it very clear that Mr. Gambroni was unavailable, it was not in my best interest to find out.

 

It was quite frightening but I did manage to tell them that i was there to interview Eaton Cox. One of the men put his

finger to his earpiece as he spoke into his lapel. After a few seconds, he authorized my entry and was insistent that i

didn't go any further than the third building on the left...that was the dorms. I had no problem complying.*

 

Reporter: "Eaton, these dorms are quite lavish. I see why you're staying here."

Cox: "Yeah man. Manny knows how to roll right."

 

Reporter: "Isn't your next fight in Helsinki though?"

Cox: "It is. It's over at Claymore Elite Combat. JBomb has friends all over the globe but neither of us are all that

familiar with Helsinki. I felt a bit more comfortable settin' up camp here in Hell's Playground. We all know each other

well around here...kinda like a second family or brother alliance."

 

Reporter: "You mean sister alliance?"

 

Cox: "I prefer brother since it don't sound so...I don't know...sissy."

 

Reporter: "Good point. Anyways..."

 

...*the phone rings and Eaton tells me it's Manny Gambroni. He puts it on speaker*...

 

Gambroni: "Eaton, what's good?"

 

Cox: "Pussy is good, hahaha...sup Manny?"

 

Gambroni: "Funny you mentioned that. Meet me in the Red Light District...I have a surprise, well, a gift rather."

 

Cox:...*looks at me*..."You know how to get there?"

 

Reporter: "This isn't my town. I don't know but I'm sure we could f..."

Gambroni: "Morons...I'll send a car. Be ready in ten minutes."

 

...*click*...

 

Cox: "Well I guess that's that then."

 

Reporter: "I guess so. While we got a minute, who's the next opponent and when's the fight?"

Cox: "It's Sonny Crockett and the fight is..."

 

Reporter: "Like Miami Vice?"

Cox: "Yeah dude...I'm fightin' Don fuckin' Johnson in Helsinki, even though he's 137 years old and NOT an

MMA fighter"

 

Reporter:...*sighs*...

Cox: "Seriously, that's his name but it's not THE Sonny Crockett. Maybe his parents were fans of the show."

 

Reporter: "What a name. So when's the fight?"

Cox: "The day after Christmas."

 

Reporter: "Interesting, will the family be here?"

Cox: "No. We did an early Christmas during Thanksgiving in St. Petersburg. She has to be back home with her family

during the holidays, ya know?"

 

Reporter: "It is pretty expensive to fly these days and the pat downs are horrible."

 

...*we hear a honk from outside and as we exit the dorm, we see the baddest orange stretch Hummer anyone's ever

seen*...

 

http://www.anythingforhire.com/wp-content/themes/directorypress/thumbs/H3-Burnt-Orange.jpg

 

Cox: "See? Gambroni knows how to roll right."

 

Reporter: "Yes he does."

*Manny called while we were en route and said he had some business to take care of before he met up

with us. Eaton told the driver to head over to the Hell's Balls Recovery shop so he could talk to Chuck.

When we arrived, the shop was quite full and Chuck seemed a bit busy. We decided to browse for a bit.*

 

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/company/logo/1271363614HBR_Logo.jpg

 

Reporter: "I heard Jigoro Kane is taking on Manu Okoro on New Year's Day. That fight is gonna be great."

Cox: "Hell yeah it is. I can't wait to see it. Too bad I ain't gonna be in Vegas. I guess i'll just have to wait

'til someone posts it on the internet or 'til it goes to dvd."

 

Reporter: "Who you got?"

Cox: "That's a tough one to call but I'm gonna go with Kane. He just destroys fighters. He ain't got any

opponents, only victims. Okoro is a great fighter n' he has an excellent manager, as does Kane but I

just can't see any situation where Okoro comes out on top."

 

Reporter: "I don't know, Okoro has some sick muay thai..."

Cox: "So does Kane, dude. Silva was a good test of Kane's muay thai n' look what happened there.

Kane has enough muay thai skill and let's face it, he has a big time boxin' advantage on Okoro. Fact is, Kane

is one of the greatest strikers to walk the planet n' until he meets someone that can get it to the mat n' handle

business there, no one's gonna out strike him."

 

Reporter: "OK, good point."

 

...*Chuck comes out from behind the counter and talks with Eaton for a bit before Eaton grabs some

HELLatious Recovery 160q off the shelf. Chuck says it's on the house, Eaton said his thanks and we made our

way back to the limo.*...

*We asked the driver if he knew of any good coffee shops. He said he really doesn't frequent them a lot but he

knows of a place called "De Dampkring", it's won the Cannabis Cup a few times and seems like a popular spot.

We decided to go there and hang out until Manny called. We made a good choice.*

 

http://us.holland.com/media/site_images/25487_o_61490.jpg

 

Reporter: "So what are you gonna get?"

 

Cox: "I want some Rifman. What about you?"

 

Reporter: "Gonna go for the Noor."

Cox: "That was my next choice."

 

*We made our order of Rifman and Noor and it was amazing.*

Reporter: "This place is awesome, man."

Cox: "Fuck yeah, man. Very funky in here. I think I need to come here more often."

Reporter: "Yeah...good idea."

Cox: "Damn, I'm fucked up!"...*laughs hysterically*..."It feels like my eyes are bein' sucked into the back of

my head!"

 

*We both start to laugh and don't stop for quite some time. I'm sure the folks at the shop think we're

light weights but we were too loaded to care or be embarrassed.*

 

Cox: "You like Star Wars, man?"

 

Reporter: "Yeah, why?"

 

Cox: "I love that shit, man but have you ever thought about Luke bein' the new hope?"

Reporter: "What do you mean?"

Cox: "Well, he's supposed to be the new hope, the return of the jedi, the new breed, the next generation."

Reporter: "Right..."

Cox: "Dude, he sucks. The dude has zero fencin' skill. He just swings the lightsaber like a goddamn baseball

bat. It's pathetic. Plus, he wrecks every damn thing he flies. He's the new hope? He's supposed to bring the

force back to prominence?"

 

Reporter: "That's not true, man. The second time he's in Degobah, his X-wing isn't wrecked and when he

goes back to Endor after the Death Star blows up, he doesn't wreck."

Cox: "But they don't show that shit. It's just implied but for all we know, he crash landed n' had to drag his

ass out the wreckage to burn his dad. I mean, what if Jesus was this huge fuck up right? Would you have

much faith in that?"

 

Reporter: "Jesus? Do you believe in Jesus, man?"

Cox: "Naw, man..."

*We both space out in silence for awhile, oblivious to our surroundings and Chuck Jardine walked in*

Cox: "Yo Chuck!"...*waves Jardine over to our booth*...

Jardine: "The fuck you doin' here Eaton?"

Cox: "On tour dude. Got a big fight out in Helsinki on the 26th."

 

Jardine: "Oh man, you shoulda called my ass when you got into town. That's dope you're here. You fightin'

at Fire FC?"

Cox: "Over at Claymore Elite."

Jardine:...*orders some Neville's Haze*..."Man, you shoulda went over to Fire FC."

Cox: "..."

 

Jardine: "Damn...you both are to'e up. HAHAHA! Well, I'm 'bout to join ya."

*Jardine received his order and we all smoked and talked for a few hours before we got the call from Manny

Gambroni. When we left, Jardine was getting mobbed by some MMA fans and told us it's a regular occurence

here in Amsterdam.

We made our way back to the Red Light District to meet up with Manny. We asked where to meet him but he

said the driver knew where and he would find us. There was no doubt in my mind that he would.

The driver instructed us to go ahead and wander. If we saw anything we liked, it was on Manny and he would

be contacting us soon. We got out and began walking up the street.*

Cox: "Damn, man! This is crazy! Is it all just hookers n' brothels n' shit?"

 

Reporter: "Mostly, but there's other stuff too."

Cox: "A dude can get in a lot of trouble in a place like this, hahaha!"

 

Reporter: "He sure could. So you only have five fights left. What are your plans after the tour?"

Cox: "I'm not sure. I just been takin' this tour one day at a time n' not tryin' to overlook any opponents."

 

Reporter: "Well, just for a minute, pretend it's over...what's on your mind?"

Cox: "I honestly don't know. Obviously, if I keep winnin', my rank will be fairly high. That would allow me to

fight in a lot of different places. I could go back home n' fight at Synchronicity or MIFC. I could go out to Hilo n' fight

at BFC or go to Tokyo n' fight at PFL. I could fight at CFC or come back here n' fight for HBCC. Lots of options.

It could go the other way though. I could lose every fight from here on out n' no one would have me. I'd like

to think that it won't go down like that but you really never know until it all unfolds."

 

Reporter: "Well you better win all the fights and put yourself in high demand."

Cox: "That's the plan."

 

*We continued to walk when an absolute beauty walked up to us*

Beauty: "Mr. Gambroni will see you now. Go to this address, enter around the back and follow orders."

 

Cox:...*as she walks away*..."Well where is...?"...*she keeps walking*..."Well where the fuck is this place?"

...*shows address to me*...

 

Reporter: "I think we should ask the limo driver."

Cox: "Good idea."

 

*We turned around and started walking back to the limo when Eaton noticed we were right in front of where

we needed to be. We walked through the alley to our right and saw a crusty looking door. Eaton knocked and

we were greeted by another beautiful woman. She told us to come in and then led us downstairs. We walked

down a dimly lit hall for quite some time, we had to be underneath the street out front by now.

We finally turned left and after a few steps, she showed us the door on the right. We went in and it looked

like some sort of private vip room, fully equipped with a stripper pole, a bar, a DJ booth and a small stage.

The woman told us to have a seat and offered us a drink. I ordered a a Captain n' Coke and Eaton got a

Hennessy with an ice drop.*

 

http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/eternal03dailyicon.jpg

 

 

*As the music kicked on, a dancer came out and began her routine. We've all seen many strippers before but

this girl was exceptional, at dancing and at being sexy. We waited for about ten minutes before Manny Gambroni

entered the room...the girl kept dancing.*

 

Gambroni:...*shakes hands with Cox*..."Eaton, good to see you. I trust you enjoy the accommodations?"

 

Cox: "Manny, I love it here! This is my kind of town!"

 

Gambroni: "I figured as much. That's why I suggested shacking up here instead of Helsinki. It's okay there but

we can make your stay here something special. Speaking of special, I have a gift."

 

Cox: "A gift?"

 

*Gambroni hands Eaton a metal briefcase and a key*

 

Gambroni: "Open it."

 

*Cox opens the briefcase and stared at the contents. I moved over beside Cox to peer in and could not believe

my eyes.*

 

Reporter: "Is that?..."

 

Gambroni: "Yes."

 

Cox: "I didn't even know these were real. Is this real?"

 

Gambroni: "Yes."

 

Cox: "Holy shit. This is..."

 

Reporter: "Amazing."

 

Cox: "Yeah...dude, I don't deserve this. This is just..."

 

Gambroni: "Sure you do. It's a gift."

 

Cox: "But..."

 

Gambroni: "Just say thanks and promise it won't leave your possession."

 

Cox:...*still staring into the case*..."Thanks, n' yeah...it'll be safe with me."

 

Gambroni: "Good, I don't wanna see that shit on EBay...ever."

 

Cox: "It won't."

 

*Gambroni reaches across the table and closes the case. We snap back to reality as if we were in some sort of

trance. Neither of us could look away without outside intervention. I had never seen anything like that before

and probably never will again.*

 

Gambroni:...*snaps his fingers at us*..."Hey, loosen up. It's time to party."

 

*With one motion to the DJ, the music kicked back up, more girls came out to the stage and pole and within

minutes, the door was opened and Matt Fear, Jason Cassavant and Matt Mallon. Manny told us Chuck was on

his way and Big Boss, PSU Mike and Blake McIntosh would be landing soon and on their way. Matt Mac was busy

in Montreal, as was Wally Balls and Shawn Kirk couldn't make it either.

 

So most of the crew was here, the booze was flowing, the music was blaring and the women were hot. This was

already one hell of a night and it was only getting better...then Chuck Jardine walked in with some L.A. Confidential

he had just scored earlier. Just like Eaton said, this is my kind of town.*

Fight #7

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=252239

 

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.

Judge Matti Vanhoillinen scores the fight 30:27

Judge Marco Blurström scores the fight 30:27

Judge Roosa Järviläinen scores the fight 30:27

 

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Eaton Cox!

 

...*Cox and Crockett exchange a handshake then Crockett exits the cage*...

 

Commentator: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the winner Eaton Cox!"

 

...*applause*...

 

Commentator: "Eaton, congratulations on the fight. Early on, Crockett looked very aggressive but you

seemed to have no trouble with it, picked your spot and took him into the clinch, an area you don't utilize

an awful lot. Was that to negate his striking advantage?"

 

Cox: "Yeah, we felt that I'd probably get hit less in the clinch, so while standin', I figured I better get

there and get there quick."

 

Commentator: "You had an advantage on the mat but you couldn't generate much offense there. What

happened?"

Cox: "He was a lot better than we figured he'd be. He did a very good job at gettin' back to his feet and his

defense was awesome. I spent so much time tryin' to keep him on the ground that I just couldn't get much

done. Dude's a squirrely sunbitch for sure."

 

Commentator: "Squirrely?"

 

Cox: "Yeah...look it up."

 

Commentator: "Your tour is now down to four more fights. Where's the next few stops?"

 

Cox: "Well, we're back in Amsterdam tonight where I fight at Hell's Balls Combat Championship. Then we

head to CFL in London and then it's back to the states where I can train in New York before a fight at WFC

in Montreal...then it's back home."

 

Commentator: "Awesome. Anything else you'd like to say?"

 

Cox: "Yeah..."...*grabs the microphone*..."I wanna thank Gus Malcolm here at Claymore Elite, Sonny

Crockett for takin' the fight, all these awesome fans here in Helsinki, Fight Club Clothing Helsinki and of

course, the entire Hell's Playground crew. Thanks everybody! See ya in Amsterdam!"

 

Commentator: "Give it up for Eaton Cox everybody!"

 

...*more applause as Cox exits the cage*...

*I met up with Eaton Cox at Amsterdam's Vondelpark to discuss his upcoming fight at HBCC. This fight

will be the eighth fight in the 11 fight world tour of Cox. Most of the stops have been great but delayed.

This fight however, was right on time.*

 

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/139/327357277_8969977d91.jpg

 

Reporter: "Eaton, how's it going?"

Cox: "Goin' good, man."

 

Reporter: "How about that Okoro? Crazy fight huh?"

 

Cox: "Absolutely. I was very surprised to see Okoro get his hand raised."

 

Reporter: "So you thought Kane won the fight?"

 

Cox: "Not really. I thought it was very close though. I just never thought it would come to that."

 

Reporter: "Yeah, same here. So you're fighting tomorrow right?"

 

Cox: "Yes, on time for once."...*smiles*..."It's gonna be a tough one though."

 

Reporter: "Yeah, Chemical Ali has a great ground game. Your last few fights have all been won

on the ground. Do you think you can take him if it goes to the mat?"

 

Cox: "Well, I think I can take anyone, anywhere, but this may be a different story. He's very skilled on

the ground, probably more than I am. He's also very skilled standing up so it's not goin' to be easy by

any means."

 

Reporter: "He's never been knocked out or even dazed. How do you plan on winning this thing?"

 

Cox: "I haven't been knocked out or rocked either so this may be going to the judges. I hate to say it

but real is real. I don't see either one of us knockin' each other out, so points will be at a premium in

this one. I just hope shit goes my way n' I can come out victorious."

 

Reporter: "That doesn't sound too confident. You don't think you can knock him out?"

 

Cox: "Oh I'm confident, but I just gotta be realistic also. This is a tough opponent, we're damn near the

same fighter, so it really may just come down to gameplan on this one."

 

Reporter: "Well, I have no doubt that you will be ready."

 

Cox: "Thanks. I'll be ready for sure. I'm always ready for a scrap."

 

Reporter: "Speaking of being ready, have you heard the news about LFC and CFL merging?"

 

Cox: "Yeah I have. I think it's cool but I hope this doesn't delay my stop in London. If they're too busy

with the merge to make this fight happen on schedule, I'll make a stop over at Vicious. Spliffs has been

fightin' there and he said it's pretty damn cool."

 

Reporter: "Sounds like you have your bases covered?"

 

Cox: "Of course..."

 

Reporter: "Wanna head to the coffee shop?"

 

Cox: "Sure. Let me call Jardine..."

Fight #8

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=253412

 

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.

Judge Daniel Blasius scores the fight 27:30

Judge Radbod Blank scores the fight 27:30

Judge Patrick Alders scores the fight 27:30

 

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Chemical Ali!

 

...*after Ali's interview, Cox and Ali share a few words and a hug. Ali exits the cage and as the

commentator walks over to Cox, the crowd begins to boo*...

 

Commentator: "People, people...come on. There's no need for that...Eaton, you came out on the losing

end in this one. Give us your thoughts on the fight."

 

Cox: "Man...I uh...well... ... just couldn't get it goin' in this one."

 

Commentator: "It looked like you were very tentative right from the opening bell. Was that due to his

superior ground game?"

 

Cox: "Uhhh...yeah?...I honestly don't know what it was. I just didn't have good stuff today. Sorry to all

these fans too."...*massive crowd boo*..."I know man, I know...I'd be pissed off too. Y'all spend you're

hard earned money to come see this n' we...well, me...just stinks up the joint. I'm very sorry."

 

...*more boos*...

 

Commentator: "No need for the apology Eaton. Thanks for choosing HBCC as the stop on your tour.

What's next up for you? Have you talked to CFL in London yet?"

 

Cox: "Very briefly a few days ago. Nothin' is solid right now but we'll get it worked out quick. I'm gonna fly out

to New York City tonight, train there and fly back to London. Hopefully CFL can get a fight worked out for about

3 weeks from now. It's a bit out of the way but I just did not have the greatest camp here in Amsterdam...too

many distractions n' I think it showed a bit tonight. No excuses, it's my fault I lost a bit of focus. I need to make

sure I get back on track n' I feel I can do that better back home in New York."

Commentator: "Eaton, best of luck to you on the rest of the tour...only 3 cities left ladies and gentlemen! Give it

up for Eaton Cox!"

 

...*Cox exits the cage to a mixture of boos, laughter and slight applause*...

*I arrived in London a few hours after Eaton Cox did. We decided to meet up at The Victoria Tower Gardens.

I saw Eaton sitting alone on a park bench.*

 

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3086/2753279808_27e162ec81.jpg

 

Reporter: "Nice view huh?"

 

Cox: "Oh hey. Didn't even see ya walkin' up. Yeah, the view is awesome."

 

Reporter: "You seem...upset. How ya been?"

 

Cox: "I'm fine. Just clearin' my head. I'm still a bit ticked at my fight in Amsterdam."

 

Reporter: "You've had better, but it is what it is right?"

 

Cox: "Yeah, I just shoulda done more."

 

Reporter: "No use crying over spilled milk."

 

Cox: "Okay, 'Clicheman'...or do you prefer 'Mr. Cliche'? hahaha!"

 

Reporter: "Yuk it up Eaton, yuk it up. I'm just trying to cheer you up."

 

Cox: "I don't need cheerin', man. I need a goddamn win n' I'm hopin' to get it on Saturday."

 

Reporter: "Andrei Emelianenko is a hell of an opponent. He's won a lot of fights in a lot of different ways."

 

Cox: "Yes he has. He's an awesome fighter, n' like a lot of other guys, he's under the radar. I'm not gonna

sit here like I have before n' say it's gonna go down this way or that way. It's gonna be a battle for both of

us n' when it's all said n' done, I hope I come out with another win."

 

Reporter: "In the Ali fight, you weren't very aggressive. In fact, you looked quite tentative. Given the

outcome of that fight, do you plan on being more aggressive in this fight?"

 

Cox: "Well, other than the fact that I get whipped, I'm not sure what went wrong in the Ali fight. We had a

solid gameplan n' it just didn't work out, he caught me off guard n' I never recovered. For this fight, I just

decided to train n' not over analyze. We're gonna let the fight go where it goes n' be prepared for it to go

there."

 

Reporter: "Can you ever really be over prepared though?"

 

Cox: "I believe you can. If you get in that cage n' your head is spinnin' with thoughts of this n' that, that's a

major problem. You end up doin' too much thinkin' n' not enough fightin'."

 

Reporter: "The Alliance War is coming up this weekend at MIFC in Las Vegas, your hometown."

 

Cox: "I know. I wish I could be there but they don't need me to be there to kick some ass. They know what

I'm out here doin'. I hope it goes well though. Those are some delicious matchups that I can't wait to see later.

Sabotage Inc., Hell's Playground, Gesundheit, all good alliances with some major players. I don't know that

there's ever been an event or series of events that have had alliances of this caliber competing against each other

head to head. It's gonna be great. Let's get outta here. I wanna go see Big Ben."

 

Reporter: "Sounds good, let's go."

 

*We were fairly close so we decided to walk there.*

 

http://images.smh.com.au/2009/06/05/557508/London-Eye-3-420x0.jpg

 

Reporter: "So what do you think of the return of Dan Torres?"

 

Cox: "Who?"

 

Reporter: "Nevermind."

 

Cox: "No really, who the fuck is Dan Torres?"

 

Reporter: "Just some dude."

 

Cox: "..."

 

Reporter: "So have you heard about Hogin versus Doe? Hogin may be able to become the first fighter to 30 wins."

 

Cox: "Who?"

 

Reporter: "Hogin...of HWP?"

 

Cox: "Ain't that the joint where all the fighters have the same manager?"

 

Reporter: "Something like that."

Cox: "Never really paid much attention to them."

 

Reporter: "Do you pay attention to anyone?"

Cox: "Only people that matter."

 

Reporter: "..."

 

*We arrive at Big Ben and was it ever a sight to see*

 

http://www.caminandosinrumbo.com/england/london/bigben/bigben1.jpg

 

Cox: "That's awesome."

 

Reporter:...*unimpressed*..."It's a clock."

 

Cox: "I know but that's a big fuckin' clock."

 

Reporter: "That almost sounded...porno-ish."

 

Cox:...*chuckles*..."But it's so huge! I mean, look at the size of that thing!"

 

Reporter:...*laughing*..."Dude! Take it easy!"

 

*We both laugh for a couple of minutes and decide to cross the river and check out The London Eye. When we got

there, it was very crowded so we went to get some food since it was nearing dinner time. After our meal, we made

our way back. Night had fallen and we were both shocked at how much more beautiful it was all lit up.*

 

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/137/398262852_6de45f1590.jpg

 

Reporter:...*staring up*..."Wow..."

 

Cox: "Yeah dude. There ain't many things better than a giant pink hole."

 

Reporter:...*laughing hysterically*..."Dude!"

 

Cox: "What?"

 

Reporter: "It's not a hole it's a..."

 

Cox: "It's a what? What is it?...an eye!? Hahaha!"

 

Reporter:...*still laughing*..."You're killing me!"

 

Cox: "You know what would be fuckin' great!?"

 

Reporter: "What!?"

 

Cox: "If they put the pink light in the middle and brown lights around the outside!"

 

Reporter:...*laughs harder and falls down*..."Oh my god! Hahaha!"

 

Cox: "I mean, Big Erect Ben over there, it's no wonder they put the river between them!"

 

...*reporter keeps laughing while holding his belly*...

 

Cox:...*laughing*..."Okay dude. You're embarassin' me, get up! Hahaha!"

 

Reporter: "I can't!"

 

*We finally stop laughing and decided to call it a night. Eaton only has 3 more fights on his tour and wants to make

sure every last angle has been looked over. I made my way to a bus and rode to my hotel. Eaton walked off into

the London night...probably with porno on his mind.*

Fight #9

http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=264273

 

Ladies and gentlemen, after 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.

Judge Steven Brown scores the fight 45:50

Judge Colin Fotheringham scores the fight 45:50

Judge William Gold scores the fight 45:50

 

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Eaton Cox!

 

...*Cox and Emelianenko share a handshake and small chat before Emelianenko exits the cage*...

 

Commentator: "We're here with the winner ladies and gentlemen, Eaton Cox!"

 

...*massive applause*...

 

Commentator: "Eaton, five grueling rounds with a lot of ground action, how tired are you?"

 

Cox: "Very tired. It takes a lot outta ya to roll with a fighter of his caliber. Much respect to Andrei

and his camp."

 

Commentator: "Coming into this fight, most people thought that his muay thai was much better and

would ultimately be the difference, yet you managed to turn the tables on him and land a good number

of leg kicks. Were you surprised at all by this?"

 

Cox: "Absolutely. The plan was to get it to the ground early to nullify his kicks n' that worked out better

than planned. After that first round, I felt he was a bit gassed so I decided to stick n' move a bit with the

counters...I landed quite a few of 'em and they just took their toll."

 

Commentator: "Yeah, you definitely picked him apart on your feet. You controlled a lot from the top

positions in this fight. Were you using a little bit of a lay n' pray tactic?"

 

Cox: "Well, it wasn't so much tactical as it was practical. He was furious off his back n' I just didn't want to

get caught doin' anythin' stupid. He has excellent jiu-jitsu n' I knew that comin' in so I really had to pick my

spots...n' there weren't many of 'em."

 

Commentator: "Well congratulations on another big time victory on your tour. Give it up for Cox everybody!"

 

...*more applause*...

 

Cox: "Ay, I wanna thank Andrei Emelianenko n' his whole team, all you psycho London fans, Bank Able n' Bradley Burns

for makin' it happen n' my sponsors, Hell's Balls Recovery n' Punishment Nutrition. Thanks a lot everyone...

see ya in Montreal!"

 

...*massive applause as Cox exits the cage*...

Hi I'm GSP

http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/5145/genesmall.jpg

 

Many of you don't know this but before I was a fighter I was a Private Investigator. And one of my cases has been bugging for quite sometime and I can no longer keep it a secret.

 

About 3 years ago I get a call from a hysterical homosexual crying "I think my boyfriend is cheating on me" and stuff like "He never wants to stay home with me anymore".

 

I accept the case and begin my investiGAYtion.

 

Below are the pictures I took for the cheating spouse investigation. It turned out the spouse was cheating but thats not the shocker, the shocker is...well you judge for yourself.

*When I heard the rumors being spread by Gene St. Piper about Eaton Cox's so-called homosexuality. I knew

I had to get the scoop straight from the horses mouth. I immediately called up Eaton and asked him for an

official statement.*

 

Reporter:...*via cell phone*..."Eaton! How do you feel about the rumors being spread by Gene St. Piper?"

 

Cox: "Who?"

 

Reporter: "Gene St. Piper."

 

Cox: "Who the fuck is that?"

 

Reporter: "You don't know what I'm talking about?"

 

Cox: "No."

 

Reporter: "Turn on your laptop and go to this address."...*texts Cox the website address*...

 

Cox:...*long pause*..."Okay, I got it...HAHAHA! That's the worst photoshop ever! HAHAHA!

 

Reporter: "Well what about the..."

 

Cox: "No wonder he's a fighter and not a graphic designer! HAHAHA!

 

Reporter: "Are you going to..."

 

Cox: "HAHAHA! That's some good shit right there, it looke EXACTLY like me! HAHAHA!

 

Reporter: "Eaton!...c'mon man!"

 

Cox: "HAHAHA!"

 

Reporter: "EATON!"

 

Cox:...*finally stops laughing*..."Yeah dude. What you want?"

 

Reporter: "St. Piper wants a fight at PROUD FC in Las Vegas. Are you interested?"

 

Cox: "This guy? Mr. Graphical? Are you sure?"

 

Reporter: "Yes, that's him."

 

Cox: "HAHAHA!"

 

Reporter: "..."

 

Cox: "Hahaha...well, the Vegas fight is going to be held at MIFC no matter what. I ain't gonna go breakin' my plans

for anybody, especially this lame ass. So if he wants to do it there, he can get in touch with Brain Robertson n' make

it happen. If not, it'll have to wait until after the tour is over."

 

Reporter: "So is that a confirmation that you will be fighting him?"

 

Cox: "Absolutely. Why wouldn't I?"

 

Reporter: "Well, he's not a highly ranked fighter. Definitely not your caliber of fighter."

 

Cox: "Whatever, fuck rank. I'm a fighter, I fight. I like Sonny Muchacho n' he n' JBomb go way back. We'll do it over

at his joint just to help him out a bit, but all in due time."

 

Reporter: "That's great! Thanks for the scoop. I do have to ask though, any truth to the rumors?"

 

Cox: "The rumors? Quit bein' a pussy n' just ask."

 

Reporter: "Alright then, are you gay?"

 

Cox: "No."

 

Reporter: "Sorry to pry bu..."

 

Cox: "No biggie. I went through public schools. I been to jail. I've seen and heard it all. This ain't shit."

 

Reporter: "Well, sorry to bother you. Thanks for the scoop again. Have a nice night, man."

 

Cox: "No problemo."...*hangs up phone*...
