Jorge Aquino Interview by K-Rad and Dead Disney

Fighter profile of Jorge Aquino by Dead Disney

A very good morning to all of you mixed martial arts fans, floozies and freak shows. K-Rad here taking a deviation from my usual path of previewing and reviewing events to take a moment to interview a true up and coming talent of the Amsterdam circuit, Jorge "The Damager" Aquino. This kid has come out of nowhere to claim an explosive 6 wins in a row, all via KO, to claim the middleweight title in the fantastic 155k+ ID restricted org OverComing. A champion in just his 3rd pro fight, Mr. Aquino has defended his belt 3 times devastating all that get in his way. He sits before me now, fresh from another successful title defense, so let's see what the man himself has to say.

K-Rad: Good morning, Jorge! I may call you Jorge right? Is that pronounced Whore-Hey (bit like how I sound on one of my numerous holidays through Laos) or Georgie or what? It's hard to know these days when people call their kids Apple and Moon Unit and other retarded stuff, Ronald for example. Bloody clowns name.

"The Damager": Greetings, Mr. K-Rad! **Laughs quietly at Laos reference** Yes, it is pronounced �hor-hay� --none of that effeminate �Georgie� stuff here, my homie.

K-Rad: Now, the most important question on everybody's lips, first and foremost, well, second and penultimate most (I made that word up) given I already asked a question... boxers or briefs? Why?

"The Damager": People really want to know such things? *shrugs* Boxer briefs. Why boxer briefs? Because� that�s why.

K-Rad: I see. So you come out of The Bronx. They say nothing soft comes out of The Bronx but I have seen loads of fat people getting around New York and they look pretty soft to me, more or less like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. How was it growing up in such a hard area, surrounded by such fat people?

"The Damager": **Laughs loudly** You are a funny guy. At first I thought you were a Blue Balls Magazine reporter and that this was some sort of Team Disney prank, but my understanding now is you are just plain loco-motive. Anyways, growing up in the Bronx was great. Knocking the fuck out of sassy mouthed playmates, robbing armored trucks�typical Bronx kid shit.

K-Rad: Oh yeah? So are your family originally from New York and if not, where did they move from, when and why? I am certainly no Nobel Laureate for Physics Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman but it seems to me that Jorge Aquino is not such a classic Big Apple name.

"The Damager": Not classic, no. My father is from the Philippines, me mother�s from Argentina. So it�s kind of a mutt name to keep my parents� in laws happy.

K-Rad: Fair enough! So, next question, how come your entrance music is so awful? I mean really, Pacewon? What was the motivation for that? Does hearing it make you so goddamn angry that you basically turn into The Hulk and take your rage out on your opponent?

"The Damager": First of all, I like my entrance music. Second of all, the Hulk turns into motherfucking Jorge Aquino when HE gets angry. That�s how bad I am. Seriously guy, don�t talk shit about Pacewon, that shit will get you LYING face down in New York.

K-Rad: SO! Anyway... ahem. I am friendly with your boss, Mr Dead Disney of Death By Cage L.A. fame. What is your relationship like with him and do you have any gossip or dirt I can use to blackmail him into some free drinks at our local Los Angeles titty bar?

"The Damager": Hmm. Best I can do is mention that he likes listening to Cat Power when he�s feeling melancholy. Oh, and he cries a little during tender moments in some movies. I wish I was kidding, but I�m not.

K-Rad: OK, so how did you end up in Amsterdam and signed up with the excellent OverComing organisation? Did you have any previous knowledge or experience with Jakub West, the owner of that fine establishment, previous to your signing?

"The Damager": We didn�t have any experience with Mr. West�just thought Overcoming was a good place to set up shop.

K-Rad: I see, I see, so now after a blistering first 2 fights, both won within 2 minutes by straight up punch KO you entered OC with a title shot. How did you feel going into this? Were you under a lot of pressure to perform and what do you remember of the fight?

"The Damager": I really didn�t feel any pressure at all. Team Disney and Golden Harvest Gym had me well prepared. The only thing I remember from my first title fight was thinking, �Damn, that�s it? He�s out already? I barely touched him!�

K-Rad: Well it was certainly a great fight and it has lead to 3 successful title defenses, all of which have resulted in OTN awards. Do you go out of your way to put on a show or is it something that comes natural to you in your fighting style?

"The Damager": Fighting style? I don�t really have one yet. I�m only twenty years old, guy!! Team Disney has repeatedly told me that I am nothing more than a brute with concussive power in both hands, and that I have a lot to learn. I didn�t believe them when I was eighteen years old, but I know now that I have a lot of wrinkles I need to add to my game. I look forward to the opportunity to prove I can outthink these other guys too. Just haven�t had the chances to, I turn granite chins to pixie dust, dude.

K-Rad: Your most recent title defense, just a couple of days ago actually, was against Do Me. How did that fight feel for you and what are your thoughts on your opponent, Mr Me?

"The Damager": Just another victim.

K-Rad: Currently you don't have another fight lined up so who do you think is most likely to be put up against you next? Is there anyone in particular you'd like to fight in the division?

"The Damager": I already have Jasiek Petyta on my scope. Nothing is in stone though.

K-Rad: Being a welterweight you've been out of the drama encompassing the lightweight division, specifically the mountains of trash talk piling up between Magnifico and Schneider. What is your take on all of this drama?

"The Damager": Honestly, haven�t paid much attention to either one of those guys. Trash talking is for hoecakes with self-worth issues. I would like the opportunity to kick the shit out of Tyson Speed though; he�s a Finn Fighter after all. Tyson if you�re reading this: I don�t talk shit, I provide others the means to. Come let Overcoming fans see who is the alpha and omega, and who is just the indignant, barking puppy dog.

K-Rad: You've got a couple of sponsors and I am sure they'd love for you to say a few words for and about them, so go on, sell your arse for sponsorship cash.

"The Damager": Corporate sell outs do that, I don�t. Fuck �em :)

K-Rad: That�s about it for me, thanks for your time and if you get into L.A. between fights makes sure you head into Ophelia Way, the hottest strip joint on the strip and join Dead Disney and I for a beverage and some sin. Any last words before I leave you to whatever it is in your spare time?

"The Damager": Thanks, K-Rad. This is a huge honor for me!!

K-Rad: OK, I lied, one last question. What DO you do in your spare time?

"The Damager": **smiles sheepishly** Skyrim and sleeping, guy.

K-Rad: Bodacious.

Well, there you have it ladies and gentlemen, straight from "The Damager's" mouth. Jorge Aquino: up close, personal, and as candid as you can get with a man who beats the snot out of people for a living. I am K-Rad and until the next event, I am out. Good night, Allahu Akbar
