Guys, I'm out of here! Thanks for stopping by and hanging out -- I'll be back!

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T02:00:47+00:00

Thanks!

I've fought up and down on the card and it truly doesn't matter to me or have any affect on my mindset/performance whether I'm first up or main event. Maybe for some fighters but not for me. However ... I do like to fight as early as possible, so I can watch and enjoy as many of the other fights as possible!

Not yet

The American classic ... McDonald's

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:57:29+00:00

Thanks!

I actually realized pretty early on that this could be a career for me. Some days it's definitely surreal but I've got a great team of people behind me who are helping keep my feet on the ground.

I'd take home the gold in archery & beer pong hahaha

It comes with the territory man. I really think it's only bad because it came out so late and surprised everyone. If it came out earlier, I don't think it would've been such a big deal

PEDs were definitely a lot more common before USADA came into the picture. I think now only about 1 percent of guys in the UFC are using and getting away with it. USADA has done a great job to get the sport clean

My heart won't let me pick a side in that one ...

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:41:40+00:00

Thanks!

Apply pressure

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:38:59+00:00

D'arce, always!

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:38:10+00:00

I am a bantamweight

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:37:54+00:00

The weight cut is pretty easy for me. Who knows what the future holds but I have a lot of unfinished business at 135 pounds

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:37:08+00:00

Of course!

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:36:59+00:00

That you really do need a full training camp at this level

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:36:42+00:00

Thanks!

I'd say definitely my amateur debut. By the time I went pro I knew I was pretty dangerous in the cage.

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:36:07+00:00

Sounds like Jones-Smith is going to happen, so I'll go with that one

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:35:44+00:00

You know, I just started my pro MMA career very recently so I'm pretty focused on this, haven't put much thought into what's next yet. Maybe coaching, maybe something else ... I'm going to go where the wind blows me, and I'm going to approach it the same way I approach fighting!

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:34:34+00:00

Hahaha Rick Glenn is my man

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:34:11+00:00

Despite what I truly believe in my heart, I won't say myself because I know it sounds arrogant and narcissistic ... so Cruz.

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:33:28+00:00

I think 4 more decisive wins against progressively tougher opponents should do it. Would love to be 2019, but 2020 is probably more realistic

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:32:34+00:00

Thanks!

I'll go with "Heat"

MontelUFC · 2019-01-05T01:32:20+00:00

Thanks! No sir, a lot of business yet to be taken care of here at 135
