20 Questions

20 Questions With MiddleEasy's Zeus

Zeus2_medium

Every morning my day starts with a visit to two sites, Bloody Elbow and MiddleEasy.   Zeus, the main man behind Middle Easy has always been really supportive of our site which earns him two Beth and Donna bosom hugs on the spot.  But he's always been super mysterious as well.  For a long time, I believed he was a self aware computer in a bunker in the Arizona desert.  However, his answers to these questions would have me think differently.  I reserve judgment until we meet at the Fan Expo in Boston.

1.       So, what are you wearing?

I'm wearing a red 'Team Korea' shirt some drunk guy gave me at ESPNZone in downtown LA the night KJ Noons' dad nearly choked me out. Shorts, Hurley sandals and years of childhood resentment.

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

A responsible adult so I can watch a rated R movie without my parents telling me to close my eyes when a sex scene would come on.

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

The power to make any parking attendant immediately explode on contact if they issue a ticket to my vehicle. 

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

Knowing that the following morning, an asteroid will hit earth and make all life on earth extinct and erase all signs of human civilization from the planet. I think that is the absolute worst way to spend an evening.

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

I've been in love once and the chick sat me down at her parents' house to tell me she was turning lesbian and then offered me some Korean BBQ afterward. It's a little hard to eat BBQ knowing that a chick you loved has elected to go with the same sex over you.

6.       What song is currently playing on your iPod?

Bjork - Declare Independence solely because I'm blown away that DREAM used that song in conjunction with footage of the bombing of Pearl Harbor to cut a promo for Dream 14.

7.       What is your favorite curse word?

 [expletive] 

8.       What is your favorite movie?

Airheads, since it's impossible not to watch when it comes on television.

9.       Do these jeans make my butt look big?

Only in a good way. The best way, of course.

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

I would travel back in time exactly one day before I had this hypothetical two weeks off and forever be caught in a time loop of relaxation.

11.   If you could only listen to one band/musician for the rest of your life, who would it be?

Undoubtedly Wu-Tang Clan. They taught me everything I needed to know about everything I needed to know.

12.   Will you be my boyfriend?

I'm a complete nutcase. Have you actually read MiddleEasy? I reference my ex-girlfriends at least once a week.

13.   Do you ever get in touch with your feminine side?  If so, how?

I cross-dress, occasionally. My attempts to get Ben Fowlkes from MMAFighting to hop on the bandwagon have been futile thus far.

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

Any cast member off the movie Gummo would do just fine.

15.   Do you dig chicks with tattoos?

I'm covered with them, so of course. I actually dig chicks without tattoos too. My standards include chicks with or without tattoos. 

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

President of the United States. Apparently it looks better on your resume. 

17.   What was your first job?

Cart cleaner at a golf course. I worked with an older guy named Otis. He would tell me that the world is hollow and inside the planet is an inner-earth filled with giants and large fruit. Otis said the only way you could enter the hollow earth is from the south pole. A few months later, Otis left the golf course to embark on an expedition to the south pole. He left me his old Ford Mustang which I still have parked in my parent's garage to this day. 

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

I would pay Melvin Manhoef the $700 I owe him. Life is not good when you owe a guy with the highest KO ratio in MMA history money. 

19.   What is your worst habit?

Saying the name 'Sexyama' in a Boston accent. Try it, it's ridiculous.

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

Continue to watch as much MMA as possible and in the words of Dan Quinn 'Ladies, whoever does date me will be rewarded when the scientific community finally wakes up and validates that I actually have the ability to turn water into fuel'.

20 Questions with Amir Sadollah

If you've spent more than 5 minutes reading our site, then you know how much we love Amir Sadollah.  Not just a "Hey, yeah, he's a great fighter" love.  No, it's more of a "Sweet Jesus, I love him so much.  Do you think he loves me too?" adoration that the Gals haven't possessed since the New Kids on the Block adorned every available space on our bedroom walls.  In case you're interested, Donna was a Jordan girl and I was Donnie super freak.

Now who can think of a better person to answer our 20 questions?  I surely can't.  Which is why we are super duper excited that he took time out from his busy (pantydropping) schedule to play our game. And by super duper excited I mean squeals, hugs, tears (Donna's, not mine), and general revelry.  What more can I say?  Actually, I can say quite a bit more.  However, I will spare you all my rambling and get down to business.

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

11. I did not aim high.

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

hmmm... the ability to.... come up... with... snappy answers to.... interview questions.

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

Sitting in traffic. Or doing my taxes. Shit what if you were in traffic on the way to do your taxes? Game over, man.

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

I will aim to do both. Vote Amir in 2012. Because he rocks.

5. Normally we ask if you’d be willing to beat up Donna’s archnemesis, CB Dollaway for us. But since you’ve already done that twice (holla!), tell us, were his tears extra salty?

I would first be interested to hear how that rivalry started.

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

Do her taxes.

7. What is the first thing you check out when you meet a woman? Don’t say personality, it doesn’t count and it would be a lie.

I won't and it would be. Probably long arms. Not like freakishly long, but at least kind of long. My kid's gonna be a striker dang it.

8. What song is currently playing on your iPod?

Meh... Something cool.

9. Do you dig chicks with tattoos?

Sure. Also I like girls with eye patches. Weird, but I needed to get that out.

10. What is your favorite curse word?

I just learned a new one in Dutch. Kut. It's exactly what it sounds like.

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

Definitely a dude ranch, but still fun.

12 What is your favorite movie?

Ghostbusters.

13. Do these jeans make my butt look big?

No, but the bedazzled initials on the butt looks like a balloon you wrote on before you blew it up.

14. What is the first thing you want to eat after cutting weight?

Usually, everything. At once. I continue to make the mistake of trying a pizza, steak, ice cream, and pasta smoothie. Maybe I'll get it right next time.

15. If you could only listen to one band/musician for the rest of your life, who would it be?

Man.... I thought I dodged this subject after the ipod question. Um... Tom Jones?

16. Will you be my boyfriend?

I'll have to ask my girlfriend. She'll probably be down. Or punch me in the mouth. Either way, I get a workout.

17. Do you ever get in touch with your feminine side? If so, how?

My lawyers have advised against any public discussion of that incident.

18. Who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?

Probably Joe Don Baker, from the 70's.

19. Does our complete adoration for you make you uncomfortable?

Nope, because I didn't read this until the end of the interview.

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?

I would say I appreciate you so much I'm not even going to make a sexist joke here. I think you know a sport has arrived when girls are fans too. :)

10 Questions with Nate Quarry

Quarry_medium

Photo courtesy of Sherdog.

Nate Quarry is a busy man.  So busy, in fact, that he only had time to answer 10 of our questions.  But as a Pantydropper of the Week alumni, he could really get away with anything in our eyes.  We're easy that way.

Be sure to keep up with the splendor that is Nate Quarry by checking out his website.  You can also follow his Twitterings @NateRockQuarry.  Funny stuff, we promise.

So many to choose from, I love them all.

Uh... this is embarrassing but I got caught watching "He's Just Not that into You". I just wanted to know if they'd find true love. Is that so wrong?

6. If you could only listen to one musician/band for the rest of your life, who would it be?

Wow, that's a tough one. Because my musical tastes are all over the place. The last two cds I bought were Jay Z's Black Album and Cat Steven's Greatest Hits. I'm usually listening to real chill stuff. Quiets the voices in my head...

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

To control time. Make the good times last forever.

8. Will you be my boyfriend?

Can you cook? Requirements to be my girlfriend, be strong, athletic, quick witted, loving, intelligent and be willing to date a closet nerd. 

9. What actor would you like to play you in the movie about your life?

 Hmm... I've actually been thinking about this as, and no one knows this, I just wrote a short story/movie script with aspects of my life as the lead character. But I just can't think of anyone with my dry sense of humor and intensity... suggestions? (I'd say Andre the Giant if he was still with us)

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

You are my favorite demographic :-)

Seth Petruzelli is probably best know for showing Kimbo Slice what MMA is truly about with an 11 second TKO back in 2008.  He also did a spin in 2005 on The Ultimate Fighter Season 2, where he was taken out in the semi-finals by Brad Imes.  Next up for Seth is a fight against MMA legend Ken Shamrock, who he'll fight on March 6th in Cancun.  Seth took a moment away from his training to answer our silly little questions.  Seth Petruzelli is not an asshole, he just plays one in this interview.  Let the madness begin.

18. Donna's archnemesis is CB Dollaway. Would you be willing to beat him up for

 My buddy Tom already did that, plus he is the best at fingering girls in clubs 

(Gals Note - Okay, seriously ladies?  Any woman that would let that jackass stick his fingers in her vagina  has SERIOUS self esteem and daddy issues)


19. Do these jeans make my butt look big?

 Yes, change now.  No fat chick is going to be seen with the likes of me in public

 

 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?

 In all seriousness, don't ever stop being ring rats....it's because of you that fighters can escape our torchered monogamous lives and have the feeling that we can bang sluts that like us just cause we r famous!
