WC Interview: Devin Jaqquard

Fighter profile of Devin Jaqquard by Shtaaf Reimish

I got the chance to sit down with WCC bantamweight contender Devin Jaqquard and we had an awesome conversation about his time as a professional MMA fighter and his upcoming headline fight against Derrick Jon. Enjoy!

Reimish - Its good to be sitting down with you, how's life in the World Combat Championships treated you so far?

Jaqquard - It’s been great actually. I couldn’t ask for a better home.
The owner Mr. Tycooner made me feel wanted from the beginning. He liked my potential and expressed his desire to invest in my career.
He’s actually the reason why I opted to fight here in New York, instead of my hometown Montreal.
Coming in, I had a lot of expectations partly due to the success WC had in the island, and so far the org has exceeded all of it.
One thing I hear about WC before I signed here was that the org is very generous towards its fighters, and I must say, the rumors are really true.
Aside from the huge payday there’s more amazing things about the org. Everyone is engaged, the staff is great and very accommodating.
Plus the competition gets better every day which means you can’t drag on your training or you’ll get left behind fast.

Reimish - You moved around a lot on the

Whatsup killers?


Hell of an event once again fellas! We had couple title fights, a barrage of amazing finishes, an upset and a new champion. Not bad, noooooot bad. =)


In the main event our 185 champ Pillow Hands granted a shot to the title for the challenger Chris Lancier. Pillow Hands took the fight immediately to the clinch where he started softening up his opponent with good strikes. Lancier forced the fight to the ground but it was the champ who got on top in a chess game between two BJJ brown belts. Hands was able to secure an arm from the bottom and went for it. Lancier had to tap. Great showing from the champ once again!

Mick Shaw

Fighter profile of Kim Shaw by Alika Webb

After making quick work of veteran Dillon Weber, Mick Shaw got signed by Immortals in New York city. With that, the next chapter of this young man's career finally begins.

 

The London native spent the last three years in Las Vegas, learning the ropes and getting ready to step into the cage. Now the training is finally over, his dominant performance against Dillon Weber proved that he's ready to move up to the next level.

 

Mick Shaw showed some amazing striking in his MMA debut but before he moved to the United States he was already well known as a talented grappler on the London amateur fighting circuit. He may look to mix things up in his promotional debut and keep his competition on their toes or maybe he won't even need to go that far to remain undefeated.

Kane Beckham

Fighter profile of Kane Beckham by Cain Westwood

Cain: Hey im here to talk about Kane's upcoming fight with Arthur Vengrio and what is his gameplan?

Cain: Ok i am here with Kane to talk  about his upcoming fight with Arthur Vengrio, I know this is very hard for him as he take on a veteran 42 year old fighter, He maybe old but he still got the tools to get the job done in a flash so we will see as we talk with Kane.

Kane: Thanks Cain, This guy he has 3 winning streak 1 KO,1 TKO,1 DEC , this is a tough fight for me and im training hard now for this fight i know this man maybe old but he still got power he is a knock out guy and just have 3 decissions in his wins all by knockout so i know what will be my gameplan and i will use that on him to slow him down and beat him in his own game. Mentioning on his last fight i was very impress with that, The fastest knockout ever in the history 10 seconds and he scored a  knockout win over Dan Druff his legs kicks is also deadly not just his punches this is so difficult to have a wrong move on him even just a one wrong move and he can knock you out cold.

Cain: This is your biggest fight because he is a former champion and a knockout artist, Have fight of the night award's which is a definition of an elite fighter.

Kane: Im aware now since i saw his profile and he has some entertaining fights in his career what a long run for him, But i will do my best to get that win.

Cain: What can you say about his ground game? Will he use It on his gameplan?

Kane: I think he is more of a kickboxer than a submission fighter or a wrestler because i saw in his profile also in his fight's that his wins is all about knockout he have no submission w

The life of Jack Kraken

Fighter profile of Paul Newman by Bjorn O'Donnel

Jack isn't just known for being a fighter and model. In fact, he is best known for the amount of money that he throws around. Born as the son of a Duke, he never had to worry about having a roof over his head or looking for food. This British gentleman grew up in the middle of luxury. His first car, at age 16, was a Bentley Continental GT. After complaining about the lack of horsepower, his parent bought him the supersports version. As a young adult, being 24 years old now, he has already built up an amazing collection of cars, watches and women. Because of his looks and wealth, Jack is the ideal partner for any (single) woman. Rumor has it that he even had an affair with Kate - and Pippa Middleton at the same time. He told me that those rumors are wrong, as in fact he also dated Cheryl Cole at that time, so he actually had 3 women at the same time. 

Another part of his attractiveness is that he is a fighter. He hasn't been training that long or that hard, but he has already been able to get himself a great record. He is currently 12-2-0 with 7 finishes. Not bad for a guy who only spends about 5% of his time training....

 

He is looking to concentrate a bit more on MMA from now on and is looking for an organisation to contract him. Because of his fame, his marketvalue has skyrocketed. He is in the newspapers weekly and loves press conferences, so he is sort of the ideal marketing guy as well. He doesn't mind talking some trash, but is humble and has style, so he won't j
