Xguard86 posted:can we talk podcasts? I still haven't found a podcast that is worth listening to regularly. They are either: I think you just summed up the podcast scene as far as mma journalism goes. Ariels MMA hour is pretty good because he has a lot of pull but thats about it.

BlindSite posted:Either he gave up his neck or Rogan's comments about Jackson's jiu jitsu being a hidden talent are complete bullshit. I don't know and this is the opinion of someone who has trained for maybe 3 months consistently and is just an idiot fan as much as the next poster, but I thought he was giving up the neck.

MassRayPer posted:Merely being in the presence of JT does not make one a good fighter, if it did cans wouldn't be taking dives for Kimbo. I had no illusions whats so ever that it would be anything other than "well, either the fights cancelled and the spectators miss a fight, or we get to see some idiot get knocked out in 60 seconds" But then I would be able to say to other journalists "do you even train?!" and if they do, take it to the next level with "do you even fight!?"

You know when Ariel does the pre/post fight interviews, he never seems to interview the loser, or does so very very rarely. Do you think this is because they don't want to talk and if so, would it be rude to even ask for some comments so close to a loss if one is at an event, microphone in hand?

OK, so I might be getting an all access pass to a fairly large but very C level local show with my and my camera man. If so, I'm going to be interviewing a lot of fighters who I know nothing about and are barely pro, plus any names that happen to be there and the promoter himself. For the people I know nothing about how is? "Hi, im Willie_Dee with SASMMA.com here with "xxxxx" who is about to be fighting "yyyyy", "xxxxx" how has training gone for this upcoming fight? Do you know much about your opponent and do you have a game plan? Anything else you would like to say? Thanks and good luck "xxxxx"!" Would that be OK, brief and simple? willie_dee fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jun 22, 2012 |

NovemberMike posted:Ask them what their game plan is, and then ask them why they just lied to you. This is genius, but I don't want to get punched. I want to be nice to fighters, I don't like gotchya journalism, especially when I am new and trying to establish a reliable name for myself. I like fighters and I don't like people being mean to them. red19fire posted:Can you find out anything about the no-name guys' backgrounds? take notes, and perhaps ask a striker how he's going to handle it on the ground if he's fighting a wrestler, or how his sub defense is against a BJJ-er. Or out-of-the-ordinary training or nutrition techniques. I will be doing as much research as possible, but some of these fighters are amateurs to the point where they are only fighting semi pro still, I would love to give them a chance to get their name out there a bit and feel even more special on their big night by having some internet media idiot (me) interview them with the full film crew schebang (it really does look like I am a legit journalist, my camera crew are the real deal). I have a few weeks and it might not even happen, I just want to get the basics down and out there for people to comment and criticise, a lot of people on here know what they are talking about and all your comments and suggestions are priceless in terms of helping me figure out how to do this as well as I can with what little experience I have.

Steve Glutenberg posted:If you're not prepared to do research on the guys and ask them interesting, unique questions, don't bother I am and have been doing pretty much what Mewse suggested already. Some of these fighters are either unreachable or are simply not responding back and I don't want to bug them. I am also worried that they may think I am their competition trying to spy on them or something so I don't blame them for not replying or wanting to talk to me. Posting here for advice is mainly a 3rd resort to doing a pre interview on the night if I can't get any information before hand.

Oh wow, I really appreciate that! I'll look into it but as of right now, I have got a film crew taking a weekend off to do this up coming event and I'm paying their expenses, I would love to do that event but it is probably very unlikely being international and at such short notice. At present I am putting all my spare time into the one event at a time, I am very new at this and taking things slowly.

Tonight was super successful, it's 6am and I jus got back, some of the fighters took me to a strip club called platinum lace, it was very strange being sober and bought dances, I remained level headed and tried to turn down a lot but they were pretty insisting, my journalistic integrity remains intact and my girlfriend didn't mind, a good night was had by all.

Jack of Hearts posted:You are the coolest. I have a feeling I am the exact opposite of cool and that's why I was so jovially recieved and so much entertainmet was had putting me in the awkward position of having to converse with pretty topless girls who have been told I am the CEO of the group and paid to attack me with various rubbing dance moves without my conscent, but I didn't want to make a scene, so politely accepted, and I don't think politeness is something that the girls get from more regular customers of suh establishments. The fights were really good and I think my interviews went well, although admitadly some we're a bit awkward at first as I got used to it, it was super nice to be accepted into the scenery and allowed to be involved so much and I don't think I got in the way or caused any problems and the fighters seemed to like being interviewed lots.

fatherdog posted:If nothing else, do a google search for the last two or three interviews with the fighter in question, and don't ask anything that was asked in them. Events been and gone now, only 3 out of the 24 fighters had really done any kind of interview before and 1 of them mysteriously didn't show up. It was a very local card for local people, just great for me to practice everything on, same as for them really.

I considered selling my house and moving to Las Vegas to do it, but the state of the USA immigration is such that I would have to leave the country every 3 months for a few hours to stay within my tourist visa allowance, there is no other way to do it. I just got Sony Vegas 11, will that do the job?
