| The camera zooms into a training room backstage, filled with a variety of exercise equipment such as barbells, treadmills, and exercize bikes. Sitting on one of the benches is Chuck Liddell. CHUCK LIDDELLHello. Chuck Liddell here, in UFC's official training room. Every day, the fighters work here so they can be their best. With me here is one of our many new fighters, Phillip Phillips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2t9_RNwOAMThe first part of Phillip's music plays briefly, and the camera pans over to him sitting on another bench next to Chuck. PHILLIP PHILLIPSThanks, Chuck. It's great to be here.CHUCK LIDDELLLIt's great to have you. Anyways, time for our first question. What made you switch from wrestling to MMA?PHILLIP PHILLIPSWell, you know, I just kinda wanted to try something new. Don't get me wrong, I still love wrestling, but it was starting to get a bit stale after so many years of doing it.CHUCK LIDDELLI completely understand. So, what's your first goal here in UFC?PHILLIP PHILLIPSWell, I'd certainly like to kick someone's ass. Which I will, of course. But also, I strive to become the first ever Welterweight Champion. That one's probably at the top of my list.CHUCK LIDDELLWell that's certainly not a surprise.He chuckles, then continues. CHUCK LIDDELLWell, we don't have much time, so last question: how do you feel about competing with the likes of Anderson Silva, James Miller, Dan Hardy, and many other highly experienced fighters?PHILLIP PHILLIPSYou know what? I could really care less who I'm working with. I'm not afraid of anyone no matter how big or strong they are or how much experience they have. Because I something a lot of these guys don't have. Will. CHUCK LIDELLWell, that's all we have for today. Thanks for talking to me, Phillip.PHILLIP PHILLIPSYou too, Chuck. They shook hands, and Chuck smiles at the camera as Phillip leaves and the scene fades to black... |
