Kaitlin Young Interview
Who and what have you been doing to step up your ground game?
Well, I haven't been doing anyone...hehe... seriously though, I've been spending a lot more time rolling and drilling the ground game. I've also tried to hit up grappling tournaments when time permits.
Explain you coming off an arm bar against Sara Schneider. Are you hungry for a win?
A loss is always disappointing, but it has made me more motivated to train. I hate losing.
You and Gina Carano are both are excellent strikers and both extremely aggressive on the offense. How do you see the fight ending?
I'll catch her in a front head lock and give her noogies until she submits.
Have you heard of J. Robinson Wrestling? If so are you a fan of the Golden Gophers and their program?
Surely. We have a couple of former Gopher wrestlers at the gym! Tough dudes they are!
What sort of fighter do you consider yourself; a rock star, a family girl or a humble fighter?
LOL. I'm not sure I fall into any such category. I'm no rock star and am in no hurry to have kids, so by process of elimination I am a humble fighter.
What family members and young girls do you try to inspire and who have you inspired thus far or taken under your wing?
I don't think that is a question I can answer accurately. I don't think a person can know who they have inspired. If I could inspire more women to train as professional fighters I would be thrilled. The more the merrier!
Brock Lesnar, Minnesota Native. Your thoughts about the guy?
He's a great guy and is always improving his game. He's an absolute mountain of a man.
What is your biggest goal in and out of the sport of MMA?
One day I would like to be the number one fighter in the world at my weight class. I have a lot of work to do on that one. Outside of the ring, my most important goal is to always appreciate the great things in life. I want to enjoy every minute of it. Slightly sappy, but true!
Are there any sponsors or people you would like to thank that help you out with support?
I'd like to give a big thanks to Premier fighter and MTX Audio. I'd like to thank Jeff Osborne and gfight.tv, all the guys at Minnesota Martial Arts Academy and Athletic Performance Inc. And last but not least, a big thanks to Andy Grahn and Nat McIntyre who run the best adult day care in the country!
Thanks very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to do an interview!
