So a couple of friends of mine are gonna do an interview with Cheick Kongo.

They want to have everyone participate in it and give you the opportunity to ask the HW your own questions.

So if you have any feel free to post them here. The 'best' questions (relevant, interesting, original etc) will be selected for the interview.


Ps: The interview will be for the French MMA news site riddum.com (ftr they broke the Rampage 6 fights deal first) but will also be translated in English so you'll get to read it some time next week.

Deadline is Sunday morning.

 

[alizio]

his toughest fight??

adaptation to the cage??

his biggest desire for a rematch vs??

the adjustment to training in england??

african american vs african european differences he notices?? his one interview where he was saying "france *****" etc looked like a poke at american black culture??

he referened to some racial discrimation with the illegal blows and calling him a dirty fighter cuz he is black and from france?? whats up with that??

 

[Leed]

Where do you see yourself in the HW division in the next year or so?

What is the reason for you not learning the ground game more, as it is one of the biggest weaknesses in your game?

I'll post more if I think of something.

 

[Rastaman]

After his demolition of Buentello, does Kongo think he could take on Big Nog, who is probably the closest ranking-wise to Kongo at this point?

gabriel gonzaga?...



ask him what he is doing to become a complete mix martial artist...we already know he is great standing,, but whatabout the wrestling and BJJ or JJJ

 

[Syxx Paq]

some form of adress to that like "what do you say to those who say you are a dirty fighter who cheats to win" etc. as thats a hard question and i want to know what he would say to it

 

[Danm2501]

What tip/s would you give to anyone looking to begin training in Mixed Martial Arts?

 

[Sekou]

was it an easy transition from kickboxing to MMA??

are you going to incorporate more kickboxing to your fights anytime soon?

 

[Emericanaddict]

All nut shot jokes aside... ask him if he knows of any upcoming Frenchman in the fight scene that may or may not some day make it to the UFC.

 

[Leed]

Why did you made the transition from kickboxing to MMA in the first place?

 

[Life B Ez]

Is it hard to be a French fighter?

 

[Thelegend]

after the mir and cain losses, do you want a rematch with them in future?

after the mir loss, were you surprised at his improved striking?

when facing buentello it looked as though you were more willing to use your wrestling more. will that become a larger part of your gameplan in the future?

who would you like to face next at hw? nelson might be a good matchup for you to get back in title contention. who do you think is a good future opponent to help you make a run at the belt?

 

[looney liam]

how do you feel about the current trend of large heavyweight's in your division?(i.e mir, carwin, lesnar etc), moreover would you prefer it if there was a weight class of lets say 230lbs where your opponents would be of similar size.

looking back to the cain valesquez fight, you hurt him a few times during the fight and each time proceded to try and take valesquez down. yet each time valesquez would take you down instead and overwhelm you with a ferocious work rate that cannot be matched. why didn't you attempt to finish him standing, what was going through your mind at this moment in time?

 

[mmaswe82]

Do you feel that in the fight with Mir he caught you with the punch because you were in fear of him taking the fight to the ground and that made you lose focus on the standup. If not, do you think it was a "lucky punch" or simply that Mirs standup has been underrated?

 

[Xerxes]

Thanks guys, keep em coming.

 

[M_D]

after watching his last few fights its obvious that he has been working on his ground game, so I was wondering what all things he has been training in that area to show his dramatic improvement, and also will he continue to work on it like he has for if he keeps training the ground game I see him as a force to be reckon with.

(there is a question in there somewhere sorry I am tired but wanted to get this question to you before the deadline)

it has been said before that you look up to bruce lee, is there any other martial artist/s that you look up

 

[Indestructibl3]

Why did you made the transition from kickboxing to MMA in the first place?

That's what I was thinking ...

 

[Icculus]

Hows that TDD and ground game coming along?

 

[Rauno]

What do you think about the fact that you keep winning against shady fighters and always losing to the elite?

 

[limba]

What made you decide to get into MMA?
How hard are you working on improving your ground game?
What moment of your fighting career are you most pround of so far?
