1. First of all are you contracted by Bodogfight right now?
BIG E- Yeah I got a couple more fights with Bodog-

2. Styles make fights and I thought you and Aleksander Emilianenko were a great matchup, where you impressed with his punching power or did you just get caught with a big punch?
BIG E- Well in my mind that was a winnable fight or I wouldn't of taken it, I just got caught up more with the hype then with the punch!! It was a flash knock down but long enough for the Ref to stop it. Thtas what happens when you give to much respect to your opponent and don't pull the trigger, you end up fighting to survive and not to win.

3. Do you look to add new skill sets or do you just try to refine your standup and take down defense?
BIG E- I'd say both, I am always refining what I have but I try to stay open to learning more!

4. Tell me about the guys you work out with, do you have a "good camp"?
BIG E- I have two camps, I work out with John Lewis and with Randy Couture

5. Being a big puncher and a tattoo artist do you ever worry about breaking your hand on somebodys face??
BIG-E You know its funny, I just broke my hand sparring the other day!! PEACE, Big E-

Well thats it for now, I appreciate this very much!!
