10 Questions With Liam James (by Darrick Patrick)

Liam "Bad Intentions" James is a professional mixed martial artist who has appeared in organizations such as Supremacy Fight Challenge, Made 4 The Cage, Fight Fest Championships, UFA, Kamikaze MMA, British Association of Mixed Martial Arts, and Caged Aggression. At the time of this interview, his next scheduled match is against Jean N'Doye in Cage Warriors Fighting Championship at CWFC Fight Night 5 on April 12th, 2012.

Darrick: What was the journey that led you to professional mixed martial arts competition?

Liam: I've always been a bit of a battler while I was growing up, getting into trouble doing silly things. Along the same lines, I have always been very hyper and aggressive. Getting into martial arts just seemed the right thing to do at the time. It was a good decision, as I hardly ever lose my temper anymore and I haven't been in trouble once since. (Laughs)

Darrick: Do you have any words of advice for other individuals looking to compete in MMA?

Liam: Find yourself a good team to train with and be patient. You see a lot of promotions just letting anyone in the cage to fill a card up and it's quite dangerous. It makes the sport look bad when two weekend warriors are swinging bolo punches at each other.

Darrick: Who are a few of the people in the sport that you highly respect?

Liam: I respect anyone who will get in the cage, give it one hundred percent, and not give up. It takes some balls to actually get in there and do it.

Darrick: Your next scheduled match is against Jean N'Doye on April 12th. What are your thoughts about this upcoming fight?

Liam: It's going to be an awesome fight and one which I am very excited for. Jean is a very good fighter, but I don't think anyone has really put it on him like I'm going to.

Darrick: What brings you the most fulfillment out of martial arts?

Liam: Seeing my team and I progress like we do, overcoming challenges, and putting everything on the line with someone to see who is the better fighter.

Darrick: Who is someone that greatly influenced you while growing up?

Liam: My grandmother. She is a diamond. No matter what I did or who I had a falling out with, she was always there for me.

Darrick: Outside of MMA, what are your other interests?

Liam: Being a dad to my beautiful daughter, Summer-Rae. Also, looking after my grandma since she is very old now and needs me. I hardly ever drink or anything, I'm always training for a fight or helping a teammate prepare for their fights.

Darrick: If you were stuck in a bomb shelter for the rest of your life, what three items would you take in with you besides food and water?

Liam: My iPhone, a sexy woman, and some Airwaves chewing gum.

Darrick: Tell us something about you that most people don't know.

Liam: I've got a black belt in Tung Fu. Ha! Erm, I love the Harry Potter books. I've read them all about four or five times. (Laughs)

Darrick: What is your oldest memory?

Liam: Getting a backer off my grandad on his pappy pig motorbike.
