10 Questions With Noah Thomas (by Darrick Patrick)

Noah "The Red" Thomas is a professional mixed martial artist who has appeared in organizations such as World Extreme Cagefighting, Ring Of Fire, TKO Major League MMA, Kickdown Classic, Worldwide Fighting Championship, Pride And Fury, SportFight, and American Championship Fighting. He was also featured on the fifth season of the television show The Ultimate Fighter. At the time of this very short interview, his next scheduled match is against Scott Jorgensen in World Extreme Cagefighting at WEC 43: Cerrone vs. Henderson on October 10th, 2009.

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

Noah: I was fresh out of the Marine Corps and I was just plain bored. So, I decided to go ahead and give mixed martial arts a shot. I've been at it ever since.

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

Noah: Ryan Schultz, Randy Couture, and Jason Miller.

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

Noah: High school wrestling is free, so make sure to take advantage of that. Start boxing early and treat training like it's your job because it is.

Darrick: Your next scheduled match is against Scott Jorgensen on October 10th. What are your thoughts about this upcoming fight?

Noah: For this fight with Jorgensen I am calling a three-round war. Neither of us knows how to quit.

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

Noah: Winning is the most fulfilling aspect for me. Oh, and the girls too. (Laughs)

Darrick: Who are some of the people that greatly influenced you while growing up?

Noah: My seventh grade teacher, my father, and my drill instructors in the Marine Corps.

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

Noah: In my free time I mainly like just messing around with my dogs.

Darrick: What is your oldest memory?

Noah: Going fishing with my dad is the earliest memory that I have.

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

Noah: I love the smell of dog feet. I know it's weird, but I don't care.

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?

Noah: Mystique from the X-Men, a cable television, and a gun.
