WHO ARE YOU FACING?
Jamie Reynolds. (FURY Lightweight champ)
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR OPPONENT??
Not too much. But I know he’s from a BJJ background. I saw him fighting last time at FURY for the title against Ben McGonigle. I know he’s a decent fighter, it should be a good fight.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT MARIUS BOGDAN THAT PUTS ARSES ON SEATS??
Well I have a very good stand up, good striking, KO punch power and have knocked out all of my opponents so far and am unbeaten also. All of my fights I have had are 1st round Knockouts. Ground and pound or straight KO’s.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT FURY MMA?? WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER UK PROMOTIONS??
Very good fighters and really good fights. The matchmaking appears to be fair and not one sided. Also they pay better money (Laughs) I’m alright with them, so far they have treated me good. I am very grateful to them for giving me this opportunity and especially to fight for their belt and be on their show.
WHATS YOUR GAME PLAN?
To finish him in the 1st round like all of my opponents.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT ON FIGHT NIGHT??
A nice KO.
If ALL GOES WELL AFTER FURY 10 WHAT NEXT??
I will be taking a holiday after FURY and then Ill start back training (laughs)
I also want to thank my coach and all the boys at the Ministry of Martial Arts.
ANY WORDS FOR YOUR OPPONENT??
Be ready for my punches.
