20 Questions with Nick Ring

Photo Source: Sherdog

Anyone who reads our site regularly remembers our Nick Ring love-fest during TUF 11.  One delightful man managed to turn the MMA world upside down with such classic moments as "Oh no you didn't!" and post-workout massages for his teammates.  Well, let me tell you something guys.  While they were busy being uncomfortable and trying to figure out if he was gay,  the ladies were busy falling in love.

Nick is super busy getting ready for his UFC 127 debut against Riki Fukuda, but he managed to take some time out of his busy day to answer our silly questions.

1. When you were 10 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?

 

When I was 10 years old I did not want to grow up at all.  I was pretty content just wishing for school to be over so I could go home and eat ice cream

 

2.  If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

 

If I could have any superpower it would be telepathy and knowing exactly what everybody is thinking as they are thinking it, it would be funny to hear their thoughts.

 

3.  What is the worst way you can think of to have to spend an evening?

 

The worst way I can be spending an evening is fixing something broken in my house or fixing my car.  I hate any chore that takes me away from "me time".

 

4.  I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that. What is that?

 

Beg...  Beat it honey.

 

5.  What song is currently playing on your iPod?

 

Gaga...  Love her

 

6.  What is your favorite curse word?

 

Barbara Striesand

 

7.  As a Canadian, how do you survive without the 500 cable channels us Americans are blessed with?

 

I make snowmen and I use extra large carrots

 

8.  What is your favorite movie?

 

Mulholland Drive, and Donnie Darko

 

9.  Do these jeans make my butt look big?

 

I love your big butt, come here.

 

10.  If you could take two weeks off, where would you go?

 

I would go to the center of the earth in the molten core and hang out with the mole-people who worship me like a god.  Then I would invite you over for tea and strumpets.

 

11.  Will you be my boyfriend?

 

I don't know...  Will you both cook for me and initiate sex?

 

12.  Which actor would you want to play you in a movie about your life?

 

Forrest Griffin, I fucking love that guy.

 

13.  What would the name of that movie be?

 

"Be ready when shit goes down"

 

14.  When you're cutting weight, what's the first thing you want to eat after weigh-in?

 

I want to eat ice cream

 

15.  Would you rather be President of the United States or the lead singer of a rock band?

 

I would rather be president, believe it or not but partying and banging whores all day everyday would get old fast.  I need to have projects in my life.

 

16.  You just won $50 million in the lottery. What’s the first thing you buy?

 

I would buy myself an entourage of rapper wannabes to hoot and holler behind me as I talk.

 

17.  What is your worst habit?

 

I have bad time management and I procrastinate too much.  Didn't you send me these questions like a month ago??

 

18.  The Ultimate Fighter house: Monotonous sausage fest or awesome male bonding time? 

 

It was both, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world but I also wouldn't do it again.

 

19.  What was your first job?

 

I worked in a trailer repair place as a helper...  I would spend as much time as possible trying to look busy and my boss would always flip out on me.  It has been years and I still haven't convinced him to hire me back.

 

20.  Before you take us to bed or lose us forever, what would you like to say to the gals who are fans of MMA?

 
Quit struggling!!!  This will be painful but quick.

This was so awesome

I really liked Ring on that season of TUF. Probably my favorite guy that season, or close to it. This made me like his even more. I hope he can parlay himself into a good career with ZUFFA.

He’s inviting you gals for some tea and hookers?

I hope Ring wins his fight, I’d love to see more of him in the UFC, but he’s got some SERIOUS ring rust and Fukuda is no easy fight.

Funny guy.

What do ya’ll think of him against Fukuda?
I think Riki F. is gonna beat him, sorry to say.

Learn JiuJitsu, it's fun.

sig bet rollo?

nobody should love forrest griffin that much.

The University of Utah is off to the Pac-12 Conference and will be in the South Division. Hopefully we will get to the first ever Pac-12 Championship Game. Jon " Bones " Jones gets his chance for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title when he faces off against Shogun Rua. Jon Jones will win.

Riki Fukudo is no joke

I figured Zuffa would give hima can coming in…I was wrong.

Fuck that was funny. I love the outside the box interviews. Good work ladies.

great interview.

I’d like to see Nick win being Canadian and all but he really has his work cut out for him, Fukuda looked like a beast in his last few fights and seems to be very ready for his UFC debut. I suspect he’ll grind out a win against Ring but I’d love to be wrong.

Ohhh I do love him.

I think Ring has got the ground game to neutralize Fukuda’s wrasslin. Nick FTW

Dear Nick,

If you ever see this, it would be awesome if you could take me to prom.
Love, Rachel.

Going to be a tough fight for him, I think RF’s wrestling and td’s will be too much for Ring….but will end up being a good fight I think cause Nick is tough to finish.
