DMP Interviews - Theebaan Govindasamy

“What really impresses is how Team Lakay is now going through a cycle where they’re now blitzing everyone.” Filmed in Hong Kong during the height of Super Typhoon Mangkhut, we sat down with The Fight Nation’s editor in chief MATT EATON. In this interview (barefoot and with the 180 mph winds audible and rocking the doors) we talked about the recently concluded, newly resurrected ASIA MMA AWARDS and the process by which the nominees and winners were finalized, the exponential growth of mixed martial arts in the continent, his thoughts on the big wins by Filipinos at the Awards, and how the kind of immersive and stringent combat sports journalism at TAP Media (the owner of online sites The Fight Nation, Rough Magazine, and Asia MMA) is executed to give fans both casual and hardcore the news and analysis that they want and deserve. Aside from great insights into the success of the Awards as a collaborative platform and the various, unique martial arts of Asian countries, we delve into what it takes to deliver well-crafted and insightful MMA journalism that takes you back behind the curtain of covering such a spectacular, and now booming, industry. Take a peek behind the scenes and see a part of what it takes to get your bloody, brutal, and beautiful sausage of MMA stories, features, and analysis made. Or just listen to two guys talking about how they fell in love, and what they still love, about MMA.

Dstry.MNL Podcast # 017 - The Fight Nation’s MATT EATON (The Super Typhoon Interview!)

ANG PODCAST EPISODE NA ITO AY NASA LENGWAHENG FILIPINO LAMANG. (VERSION WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES COMING SOON!) AN EXCLUSIVE PODCAST EPISODE WITH MARK SANGIAO of TEAM LAKAY. KUNG TRUE FAN KA NG PINOY MMA, ITO NA ANG IN-DEPTH NA INTERVIEW NA HINIHINTAY MO, KABAYAN. Team DSTRY.MNL caught up with Team Lakay’s Head Coach Mark Sangiao in Hong Kong’s Aberdeen neighborhood a day before the prestigious Asia MMA Awards gala celebration. Team Lakay was up for nominations in 3 categories: Head Coach of the Year, Gym of the Year, and Best Walkout. They would later go on to win both Best Walkout (for Kevin Belingon) and Gym of the Year—the latter a huge upset, beating better equipped and better funded nominees like Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand, Team MAD in South Korea, China Top Team, Tokyo Tribe MMA, Shanxi Xindu Martial Arts Club, and Evolve MMA in Singapore. Throughout this interview the upbeat former MMA fighter and now icon of Filipino MMA talked about his own coaching methods, his goals and aspirations for the team, the development of Pinoy and Cordillera MMA and Team Lakay’s role in it, his thoughts on technique, mental strength, and developing athletes, and the future of the team as Stephen Loman, the champ in Brave CF, heads into his title defense in November. We humbly suggest you watch this from start to finish: you won’t be disappointed.

Dstry.MNL Podcast # 016 - Coach Mark Sangiao of Team Lakay (Filipino Language)

Will Chope, the six-four tall Florida native dubbed “The World’s Tallest Featherweight” has branched out from his MMA roots into the sweet science. He just finished a boxing match in Dipolog City against WBF World Champion Boxer Dondon Sultan where he won by the 4th round. The argument that “The Kill” casts the longest shadow as a foreigner in Asia’s fight scene is hard to dispute. In MMA alone he has amassed an impressive 34-14 record since his debut in 2010 that has seen him range far afield as Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, China, and the Philippines. What's next for "The Kill"? Find out in our upcoming interview as we talk about his signatrue Lanky Madness style, teaching and fighting in Northern China, travelling across Asia to fight and train, and his upcoming RFC Taiwan MMA match. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rex De Lara is the 38th ranked of 190 active Southeast Asia Pro MMA Bantamweights, a URCC contender, and is one of the few fighters to have beaten current Brave CF champ Stephen Loman of Team Lakay in the cage. We caught up to the ferocious bantamweight and Team MUMMA pioneer at MUMMA Urban FIght Club, Makati to talk about his upcoming cage match at RFC Taiwan, the uses of BJJ for MMA, and his training format for stand-up fights. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to like and share our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/dstrymnl Follow us on: Instagram: @dstrymnlpodcast Twitter: @dstrymnlpodcast
