A star was born last night in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
In the main event of Score Fighting Series 7, 23-year old Canadian Jordan Mein stopped tough-as-nails Forrest Petz in the first round and made it look easy, knocking out the seven-fight UFC veteran with one of the most vicious barrage of punches, knees and elbows I've ever witnessed in all my years watching mixed martial arts.
It's been a while since we have done any fight music. So we decided to reach out to 23-year-old, top Canadian welterweight prospect Jordan Mein (25-8), to find out what he likes to play to get the ladies and himself in the mood for action.
In a lot of ways, Jordan Mein sounds like your typical 22 year old Canadian. He is brimming with optimism, rarely going more than a few sentences without chuckling. He's got a lot to smile about these days, riding a six fight winning streak that has seen him go from fighting in small Alberta towns to the bright lights of Strikeforce where he is set to fight the undefeated and self-proclaimed number-one welterweight contender Tyron Woodley. That fight will happen on the undercard of Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine on January 7th.
Paul "The Mauler" Lazenby is one of the most well-known and respected personalities in Canadian MMA. He recently has found himself in the thick of controversy in the MMA world after breaking a story on an illegal "charity" fight that recently took place in Surrey, BC. The week before, his interview with Bas Rutten where Rutten gave a then-unheard point of view on the Alistair Overeem/Golden Glory situation grabbed headlines on MMA websites throughout cyberspace. Never one to shy away from an opinion, Lazenby recently gave some of his time to MMASucka's Carlin Bardsley for an in-depth interview discuss these topics, his friend Chael Sonnen's walkout on TSN's Off the Record, UFC's future in Vancouver and more.
