Stand and Bang w Will Brooks and Jessica Aguilar

Stand and Bang MMA Podcast

We have a fun one this week folks! Bellator champ Will Brooks is in the house fresh off a twitter beef with the Patricky Pitbull, and we catch it as it happens. Ole Will doesn't shy away from it and says they are both irrelevent and wouldn't mind snuffing out both brothers in the same night. Brooks talks about his last fight with Dave Jansen, and explains how he is able to stay calm and collected during his fights. We discuss the probability of him clearing out his division at Bellator, and Will tells us that he is indeed looking at other organizations to challenge him once that happens. He also tells us that the Reebok deal is great for him as he was able to pick up two new huge sponsors!

In the second segment we have former WSOF strawweight champ and #1 ranked Strawweight Jessica Aguilar right on the heels of her vacating her title to find new and exciting challenges over in the UFC. Jessica goes indepth about why she deserves the title, but also says that if she needs to fight Esparza first, then so be it! She lets us in on the fact that she did some acting and worked a state job before finding her calling as a mixed martial artist, and how she got started is a pretty wild story. We ask Jessica if being openly gay has presented any extra challenges, and get her take on the absence of any openlly gay male MMA fighters. Then we have her rep her gym, American Top Team, and she tells us to keep an eye on Bektic because he will be a champ one day as far as she is concerned.
