 Interviews with Jim What.
What: Joining me now is top ranked Featherweight competitor Fred Aslop. Fred, you recently parted ways with your manager Jackson Kane. May we ask what happened?
Aslop: I wasn't happy with the way I was treated, I feel I was not taken care off well enough. So I decided to join one of the most renown camp in the Highlands Games brand under the supervision of Arcalimon the coach.
What: You currently have the best record in Highland Challengers. Does that give you confidence coming into this fight?
Aslop: Yeah I have a good record for sure, but when you enter an organisation like Highlands Challengers you know it can't be enough. I think what showed everyone what I can do is my last fight against the top prospect Hugh Janus. I could have beaten him in the standup, but I decided to win the fight where he felt like he was stronger, finishing him on the ground.
What: We haven't seen a lot of your stand up game so far, but are told from your camp that you have a strong muay thai base. What ideology do you adopt in stand up striking? Do you like the clinch or to fight at distance?
Aslop: That's a secret man: that's why I never showed my techniques to the media before. Just know this: i can knock anybody out in this division, and if they try to take me down... well, they are going to get submitted.
What: Your opponent, Dang Sai, will undoubtedly want to take this fight into the clinch. Does knowing your opponent's style give you an advantage?
Aslop: Of course. Dang Sai is absolutely brutal and spectacular when he can fight at his distance, I sure love all that violence, but can he do anything else? I don't think so. This is MMA, so he better be prepared to fight everywhere this time.
What: Well hopefully it will be one for the ages on Saturday night. Thanks for speaking with us and good luck in your fight.
Aslop: Thanks to you man. It was a pleasure.
