After a day filled with the wonders of the American Dream, Watching Seth Petruzelli Slice Kimbo. Lets not forget about the really important things in life, like redneck protester fist fights in the Anthony front yard.
After Slicing Kimbo in a 14 second Knockout MMA sensation Seth The Silverback Petruzelli sits down with Orlando’s number one sports man David Baumann of NEWS 13 on the set of brand new BrightHouse Sports Network BHSN. Seth thanks his fans and calls for Tito Ortiz. Here is the full interview transcript:
Baumann: Welcome back, I’m David Baumann joining me is the guy who knocked out Kimbo Slice, the one and only really because he’s never gone down, that guy is a maniac, that means you must be absolutely crazy. Seth Petruzelli.
Petruzelli: I’m a maniac times two.
Baumann: Seth thanks for being with us. We’re less than 24 hours removed from you putting Kimbo down in 14 seconds. Take us through it.
Petruzelli: It’s a rollercoaster for me. I haven’t come down from the high. I’m on two hours sleep. I got the call to do it, a rush of emotions came over me, I talked to my corner and decided to do it and it’s the best decision I ever made.
Baumann: You knocked out Kimbo Slice in 14 seconds. Was it as simple as connecting with that right, that one right stunned him?
Petruzelli: Yes, it was the right type of punch that did it. It was a flashback when I hit Bob Sapp, that one punch on the chin and he goes down like a sack of potatoes. The right place on the chin will shut off the brain and down you go.
Baumann: The announcers were talking about Rocky. At this point, what type of whirlwind is going on in your life? You are essentially an overnight sensation.
Petruzelli: I’m going to take it for what it’s worth. If he wants a rematch, I’ll give it to him, 100%. I’m just one high right now, I can’t believe it. It’s nuts.
Baumann: Now I’m concerned that Kimbo is going to come running into these studios after hearing that, you want the rematch if he’ll take it.
Petruzelli: If he’ll take it.
Baumann: If he’ll take it?
Petruzelli: I don’t think he’ll take it?
Baumann: Why?
Petruzelli: The funny thing is, before the fight, I knew I had him beat. When I saw the interview before the fight about Ken Shamrock not fighting and him having to fight me, he saw the tapes of me and he was worried about fighting me. I could see it in his eyes. I had him beat mentally.
Baumann: How will you capitalize on this?
Petruzelli: I will renegotiate my contract with MMA. (laughter) Honestly, I want a bigger fight the next fight. I’ll say right now I want Tito Ortiz the next time. The 205 belt is open and I want the belt. I think that at least puts me in contention for some sort of a belt, that was a pretty big win.
Baumann: To all the MMA fans here in Central Florida, you might run into this guy at some of the downtown clubs.
Petruzelli: Yes, or you can come into my Smoothie King on Red Bug and Dodd Rd. I’ll be doing a signing this Sunday at 11:30 for a couple hours.
Baumann: and you teach the sport too?
Petruzelli: Yes, we’re opening up a gym this week on sand lake. You can log on to our mypace page at www.myspace.com/ironmonkeysquad.
