New UFC member Alice Reed is ready to meet Sijara Eubanks in her promotional debut. Reed flyubod (125 pounds), who usually competes in the straw weight (115 pounds), climbs into the ring against the Eubanks.
Ahead of his UFC debut, Sportskeed representative John Hyun Ko followed Alice Reed. We talked to him about his military history, his future battle, and more.
Alice Reed’s military background can help her as a rival in martial arts
JHK emphasizes that the key aspect of Alice Reed is her military background and the discipline needed to be in the military. Reed explained how this becomes a fighting mentality:
“The military is one thing,” he said. I went to military college, I say, it was a whole; I mean, it’s like it’s on steroids because you do it 24/7. And you’re doing things you don’t want to do. And you’re confusing academics with athletics. And I think I knew very well how to feel uncomfortable and work in a place that wasn’t happy at all. I mean, I know my college experience was drastically different from everyone else’s. I can’t say I’ve been involved often. But in a sense, it’s like you have to be very dedicated and adapt to what you’re doing. “
“I think the military has had very good and bad days because I’ve been deployed for nine months to do this job. You know, it just keeps it (the mind) strong.”
Also, when asked where he was stationed as a soldier, Alice Reed said:
“So, first of all, Kuwait. We did a little bit of work in Iraq as well, but it was a huge task and logistics. It was a good time. I mean, I learned a lot. It was a no-brainer – I own a martial arts school and I can’t afford these opportunities anymore. But again, I worked with a lot of mental stuff. So that was good. ”
JHK recalled the U.S. military program and asked Alice Reed to be a part of it. Reed replied:
“You know, what’s funny, I’ve never done that … And the thing is, every time I sit in the unit, they say, ‘We have to get you to the wrestlers.’ We need to certify you. “We liked the dating course before we went. And I sit in the back, and I don’t like it. I’m not a showman, so I don’t want to say anything. But he said,” Which position is the top position? ? “He was asking questions like,” Like the back set. “He said,” What’s the other one? “And I just kept raising my hands … You know, I did a little bit of that. But I’m not certified at all. I’m sure. , eventually the army will give me a certificate, but, yes, I just didn’t make it. “
“It’s funny because I taught, but I can’t certify anyone because I’m not certified. So, like, “Yeah, you’re learning from a very good person”. I mean, the army won’t bless me, but I’m fine. ” (* Video compliment: Sportskeeda MMA representative John Hyun Co; H / T Sportskeeda for transcription)
JHK then speculated that being a UFC fighter would help boost Alice Reed’s confidence as a knowledgeable martial artist. Reed agreed with the idea and smiled.
