Great interviews. I always like how Sarah looks right into the camera and speaks her mind. I really miss training at ZUMA.

Amoussou cracks me up, I don’t know why. Maybe because he says he’s an undercover cop, and in that shirt I picture him as the French version of Starsky and Hutch.

Thanks for posting these Nick!

Sarah rocks… here’s her talking to mmacanada.net:

“For me, I am a big water drinker. I don’t drink coffee, tea, juice, pop, or anything like that. I really only drink water. So coming up to a fight I slowly start increasing the amount of water I drink in a day. Just before I am ready to begin cutting weight, I will be up to 10-12 liters of water each day. Your body becomes used to having lots of water put in, so, when you stop drinking, it’s theoretically supposed to get rid of water-weight faster.”

“Wherever the fight goes, I plan on striking. So whether it’s a finish from standing or a finish on the ground, I’m up for whatever. I am really just eager to see how this fight goes and I hope that I can finish it.”

“Ahhh…the geekiest thing? Well, I really am just a big fan of puzzles. I will sit down and do jigsaw puzzles for hours on end, no problem. I also love crosswords. I will do them when I am walking and pretty much everywhere. I will even do crosswords in the bath with some Epsom salts, you know? Wherever I am, there’s my crossword. Even right before a fight I am usually sitting down doing puzzles of some sort.”

When she says she doesn’t drink anything other than water, she means it. She’s a ridiculously picky eater and drinker. Obviously it helps her stay in shape, but I’d hang myself out of boredom with her diet.

And I do believe that Sarah can finish on the ground, either from ground and pound or from submission.
