First off can you tell us who you are, your style, team , record ,next opponent etc?
Shaun “the disgrace” Taylor , Lycan fight team. 4-0 and I’m fighting Aldric Cassata from France.
You are nick named “The Disgrace” , how did this come about ?
My coach/manager/royal pain in my ass Rob McCrum doesn’t like conventional nicknames. And I have a tendency to say/do apparently outrageous things.
There are rumours afoot with regards to your new fight shorts , are you a fan of the Budge Smuggler?
I’m not actually a fan. I’m not well endowed enough to sport the smugglers. However my game plan is always to be a horrible human being, this just seemed like the next obvious step. However, I am having problems getting them to fit. But to be fair the shorts I’ve been wearing are already pretty horrific.
Your know to accept a fight on short notice, for this fight at SFC have you had a full camp and if so how has it went ?
I've had plenty of notice for this fight. Hence my weight is not as horrific as it normally is. The camps went swimmingly. Ive changed my cardio routines, im training more often an efficiently. My weight is actually under control and ive made some cool developments in my fight game.
Your a BJJ purple belt and active competitor in BJJ under Marcos Nardini , What is your thoughts on the Scottish BJJ scene?
The Scottish BJJ scene is pretty good. With two new black belts being recognised this year, loads of new promotions to purple belt as well as brown. Lots of skills being developed across the board.
Quick fire
Favourite MMA Team
Lycans fo sure. They my niggas.
Mma Brand-
the cheapest I can get my mits on. But I do like my tatami and ompu gear. (except the ompu gloves, they’re pish)
Fighter
Uncle Chale.
Coach
My own. ( im very hard work and come out with some amount of pish, so credit where its due)
Nutritional product
Herbalife….NAT!! erm, ive actually cut out a lot of supplements. Probably my ON gold protein if I had to pick from what’s left.
Martial arts action hero-
Darth maul. He’s fucking beastly.
Martial arts film Game of thrones?
That’s kindy martial arty once you get by the incest….?
Advice- if its cheap, don’t eat it.
For the novice MMA fan getting into training?
Look at the gyms you can get to and try them all out. Look at their fighters success’s To many people are falling into the trap of shit gyms with shit coaches who talk a good game and stroke their ego. E.g a certain well known gym in Glasgow who’s coach moves young boys into the gym to live with him. terrible coaches that have trapped some good potential fighters behind a web of pish.
For the amateur fighter making the step up ?
Go for it. It’s a fight grow some balls and throw down. To many amateurs are content with being “champions” of semi-pro etc. worthless belts from cack organisations. I wouldn’t pish on these amateur Scottish belts if they were on fire. The Scottish Pro scene is missing out on young hungry pro’s. for me 5ish amateur fights is plenty.
Sponsors, websites, twitter , thanks
No one will sponsor me. Apparently I’m too likely to “polarize” opinions. However probably thank Chris Crowe for all the stuff I'm going to steal out his shop. Same for Rich Carlin on weigh in day.
Cheers lads.
Should probably thank my team and everyone I train with, even though they’re assholes to me most of the time. (apparently its good for me)
