Simon Marcus will end his year in Argentina taking on Damian Bujan at Ultra Elite Fighters: Marcus vs. Bujan. The world’s number one light heavyweight will try to avoid tasting defeat for the first time as a pro and end another impressive year. Simon was kind enough to take time to answer a few questions about his upcoming fight with Damian, the aftermath of his fight in Vegas earlier and what he has coming up in 2014.
MTA: Simon you will end the year fighting in Argentina against Damian Bujan. Is it typical business in the gym for you this time around or is something being done differently?
Simon: I’m training for this fight as I do typically. My body is in great condition and I been working on some areas I felt I could improve on.
MTA: How familiar are you with Damian and what are your thoughts on him as an opponent?
Simon: I didn't know much about him until I was offered to fight him. Damian is a fighter with Muay Thai style strong body and hard kicks. But this makes this match up more exciting for me because we will see who has a stronger and better Muay Thai skill.
MTA: You will be in his backyard, which is something you do a lot. Do you ever worry about you having to be more dominant in your performance because of the judges and any type of bias?
Simon: Yes, I know when you fight in someone’s hometown the judges ect. will be in their favor so I always to try to completely dominate the fight and go for the KO.
MTA: Your nickname is Bad Bwoy and recently it seems you have been living up to the moniker, the post fight interview at Push Kick and the backstage scuffle and most recently the altercation at the weigh ins in China. Any reason for this?
Simon: I think often my presence may intimidate my opponents and this can lead to them doing thing out of their character which I don’t stand for. We are all fighters and sometimes fighters may clash in or outside the ring. Point blank if you get in my face I’m gonna put you in check.
MTA: It has been a few months now since the infamous Chidi fight, looking back on it now have your feelings about anything changed?
Simon: Yes, The only that has changed is the increased disgust I feel for Chidi every time I watch this fight. The only word to describe his ringmanship is pathetic and that is why I called him that after the fight. Some people have been asking if there will be a rematch but I personally do not recognize him as a fighter in anyway. Unless he is will to bring his big brother to help him I have no interest in fighting someone who bends over and has no interest to fight.
MTA: Outside the ring how have things been going, your family is growing and you are gaining more popularity with each fight?
Simon: My life is blessed I get to travel the world doing what I love to do. I have been given the greatest gift of all, two beautiful children Zion and Zaniah. Honestly I wouldn’t change a thing and I will continue working to reach higher levels in all that I desire.
MTA: Is your 2014 already being planned and if so how is that looking?
Simon: Yes, so far I have 3 or 4 fights lined up in the new year. 2014 will be a even bigger year for me than this one and I will continue to show the world and the Muay Thai community that I am the undisputed best fighter in my class.
MTA: Any predictions for the fight with Damian?
Simon: I predict I will win via KO.
MTA: Best of luck to you Simon, any words for your supporters?
Simon: I want to thank all the Bad Bwoy fans that have supported me and sent me so much positive energy over the last year. I want to thank all my family in Florida and across America that big me up to the fullest. And I want everybody who watches me fight to be inspired to go for their dream head on and never back down from and challenges in the way. Love, Respect, Believe.
