Ogden is well on his way
to mastering the best
techniques and tactics to
win a hand-to-hand fight
because he is currently 2-0
in his profession MMA ca-
reer. In his two victories,
Ogden won both fights
in the very first round by
submission. Ogden talked
about his two quick victo-
ries.
“I had my first professional
fight in January and it was
a quick first round submis-
sion and then my second
fight was in April, which
was another quick first
round submission,” said
Ogden. “It has been go-
ing good. Not too much
to talk about since there
has been about three total
minutes in the cage.”
Every fan loves watching
fights that do not go the
distance. Ogden has now
done that twice in his ca-
reer with his two submis-
sion victories and will be
looking to do that once
again in his next fight. Og-
den talked about his men-
tality for finishing fights.
“I amknown for that mind-
set,” said Ogden. “I do
not like winning on points.
I do not like when people
are up on points and do
not go forward and finish
the person. I believe, that
in a real fight, it is not over
until someone is done. So,
there are no decision victo-
ries for me.”
Ogden will be looking for
yet another finish at Titan
FC 35 on September 19,
2015, against Ryan Walk-
er. Walker, who is 4-1, has
finished his opponent in
three of his four victories.
The fight, on paper, looks
like it should be once for
fans to enjoy. Ogden talk-
ed about his fight at Titan
FC 35.
“Obviously it is a great op-
portunity,” said Ogden. “I
do not say no to fights and
this was the fight I was
presented. I put my career
in the hands of my man-
ager and I trust him.”
You always hear about the
horrible manager stories
where someone is prom-
ised something they never
get, but thankfully, Ogden
has set himself in good
company. He has put his
career in the hands of his
manager and his manager
has been delivering. Og-
den talked about his man-
ager.
“Yeah man, he is awe-
some,” said Ogden. “Joe
Wooster is awesome. We
have good energy togeth-
er. I was running into situ-
ations trying to get my first
fights so I knew I needed
someone. I am an expert
on fighting and he is an
expert on the business of
fighting.”
His manager, Wooster, may
be an expert on the busi-
ness of fighting, but when
Ogden is in the cage; he is
all business. Ogden will be
fighting on UFC Fight Pass,
since Titan FC agreed to a
deal with Fight Pass, and
will be fighting with a lot
of other people watching.
Ogden talked about fight-
ing on UFC Fight Pass and
predicted the outcome of
his fight with Ryan Walker
at Titan FC 35.
“It is business as normal
for me,” said Ogden. “I do
not really think about that
stuff too much. I say a first
round victory.”
