Just a note on the Marlon Sims segment. This is both pure Marlon being Marlon, and TV hyping any story and blowing it out of proportion. The whole “Amp Mobil Question” was not only contradictory, but ridiculous TV ratings hype at it’s worst.
It really drives me nuts when so many armchair quarterbacks and haters come out of the woods and talk about something or someone they really don't know.
Marlon and I discussed this many times before going on the show. Of course we wanted a shot at it, and the biggest plus is also the biggest drawback: LOTS of exposure. On the good side, people who know and appreciate will enjoy it. On the negative side are those constant haters and ignorant people.
Now, I know he may have sounded like he was telling a wild story, and I'm sure I know how it came out, but the fact of the matter is that it is absolutely TRUE. I actually remember that incident (and many others). As someone who was one of his coaches and training partners, manager, and longtime friend, I can honestly say, I know him and have been there many times with him. I have seen him in action both in and out of the ring. This is a BAD MF.
He is by no means perfect, and those that know him, love his brashness. He can be that way because he can back it up. He is also a great person, training partner, loving dad, THE MOST loyal friend, honest and cool guys you would ever meet. And as I said, this is someone you want on your side in a scrap. He is an awesome, well rounded, world class champion fighter, and a true warrior in the purest sense of the word.
I hope Spike gives him a chance to show his better sides. Everyone from here in San Francisco and the Bay Area (and all FMS worldwide) know who Marlon really is. We got your back MARS. Do your thang. We'll always be in your corner.
Farang forever!
With brotherhood,
Grand Master De Alba
I considered I won those fights as I was able to walk afterwards and was alive to heal. I also considered luck and or strength, not skill.
