Frank Trigg Talks About The Importance Of Elbows In MMA

MMA H.E.A.T.’s Karyn Bryant catches up with Frank Trigg at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, and gets his thoughts on the opportunity to fight Tom “Kong” Watson for the Middleweight title at BAMMA 7, set to take place Sept 10, 2011. (At the time of the interview, the title fight was not yet confirmed.) Frank is coming off a victory over John Phillips at BAMMA 6 on May 21, 2011. He won that fight by TKO when the doctor stopped the fight at 2:41 of Round One after Frank opened up Phillips’ head with brutal elbows. Frank talks about the reason for bringing elbows back into his arsenal, the time he’s put in on improving his footwork and the origin of the nickname “Twinkle Toes.” In addition, we get Frank’s thoughts on a UFC Masters Division, life after fighting and how original American Idol co-host Ryan Dunkleman is responsible for one of TV’s most epic FAILs.
