Interview with Atlantic MMA, Inc.

Interview with Atlantic MMA, Inc.

I recently did an interview with a couple  great guys, Matt Scott & Johnathan Stamey and from Atlantic MMA, Inc.

I thought I would share part of the interview with you.

Atlantic MMA: Of your last 6 fights, all 6 have gone to a decision. Although you have been very dominant in some of these fights, you haven’t been able to finish your opponents. Do you see this as a negative towards those performances? Do you fight to finish the fight, or fight to win?

Gray: Looking at the opponents I’ve fought, it’s a positive.  Frankie as never been finished and his only loss is to me.  Rich Clementi has had over 50 professional fights and was on a 6 fight win streak with one of those wins over Anthony Johnson when I fought him.  Jim Miller has never been finished and only has losses to Edgar and myself.  Huerta has never been finished and his only real losses were to Florian and myself. Nate Diaz is a tough opponent that has been submitted once early in his career to Hermes Franca. So in reality, I don’t know of to many guys that can beat that list of opponents much less finish any of them.

Atlantic MMA: Prior to your bout with Nate Diaz, most fans expected you to be dominant in the fight, controlling him with a dominant top control game and superior wrestling. Although you were awarded the victory, it was in somewhat indecisive fashion. Why were you not as dominant as predicted?

Gray: I knew going into the fight it was going to be a very tough fight.  I personally have never seen either of the Diaz brothers get dominated in a fight and if they do lose it’s usually pretty close.  They are southpaws with good reach, black belt level ju jitsu, boxing, and a good chin.  Thats a tough match up for anyone.  Maybe I could have added a couple takedowns, but I just need to learn from my mistakes.
