Efrain Escudero: ”I will be fighting on November 22nd for Taura MMA”
I got to talk to Ultimate Fighter winner Efrain Escudero on how life is outside of the UFC and where he looks to go next. I started off the interview asking him if he has a fight lined up.
“I will be fighting on November 22nd for Taura Mixed Martial Arts. They have been g some of the biggest names in MMA such as Renan Barao, Antonio ‘Big Foot’ Silva and more. I am also the new Fox Deportes commentator as well too!”
What motivates you more coming off of a win or coming off of a loss?
”When I first started fighting it was always about winning and I didn’t care about losing, then all the sudden I became complacent. Then I started thinking that it was ok to lose, that I will come back next time. And with that mindset I would make excuses as to why I lost. I’m back to my old roots and I have a great team around and I’m hungry to fight.”
What is your biggest attribute as a fighter?
”My biggest attribute is that I’m a go getter, I was taught that if I want something in life that I grind to get it.”
Where do you see yourself in the next five years of your career?
”I’ll probably be fat and happy and I don’t have to worry about cutting anymore weight. I’ll probably be involved with coaching and definitely giving back to the community. I’m gonna open up a non profit organization to help troubled kids in their youth. So this is my dream in the next five years I think this will happen.”
You have fought in some of the biggest organizations in the world, if you don’t win a major title in a major organization would you call your career incomplete?
”No man, I don’t. I’m gonna win a title.”
