Ev Ting (5-1) kindly took some time out of his final preparations for his upcoming bout to speak to World MMA News Digest.
Legend Fighting Championship 11 at Chin Woo Stadium, Kuala Lumpur. 27th April 2013
Q) What have been your preparations been for this fight?
A) Preparation wise I've been meeting up to spar with other top Kiwi fighters such as Dan Hooker, Kai France once a week as well as that I have been sharpening up my specific techniques at Auckland MMA with coach Hamish Robertson & Kamikaze Power conditioner Makoto Endo.
Q) What do you know about your opponent? (Choi Yeong Gwang (6-6))
A) Choi is a very game & tough opponent, well rounded & physically strong.
Q) You are part Malaysian although you fight out of NZ, Do you still have family here and are they coming to watch you? (Ting was born in Malaysia of Chinese ancestry)
A) I still consider myself a proud Malaysian Chinese here in NZ although I am long lost with my roots/history and own a Kiwi passport. I never really formally invite family to my competitions as I try to keep business and family separate. I will be in KL for a couple weeks afterwards where I will be catching up with them instead & fit in some training. Rest of my other family is spread out by Sarawak and Singapore.
Q) What will be different from you last fight at Legend? (Rolando Gabriel Dy Navarette at Legend 10. Ting got a Unanimous Decision)
A) My last fight at Legend's with Dy, I was playing it safe to get the W to redeem my performance from my first battle at Legend FC. This fight we can expect a more explosive & hungry me.
Q) What is your long term aim in this sport?
A) Long term goals in sport is to be happy & content with my career with no regrets.
Q) Who do you most admire in Malaysian MMA and why?
A) Malaysian MMA. I feel the wave of fighters is still somewhat young. But it will have to be Sam Chan or otherwise Will Chope if he can be considered from Malaysian MMA.
Q) Who is your all time favorite MMA fighter?
A) Fedor
Q) Who are you sponsors?
A) NZMMA, Nutratech. Auckland MMA, BODI Transformation Studio, Faze Authentics, Jackson & Co.
