Q&A with MMA Author Michael Toney from Dominance Fight Gear

D Wizzle is back again with an interview with Michael Toney of Dominance Fight Gear. This time it is to talk about his upcoming MMA book "Tales from the Cage" that he co-authored along with Logan Novatnack from The Fight Card Radio Show. This book looks to be very controversial and innovative at the same time.
Here is the link for a previous interview I had with Dominance Fight Gear.

Can you tell me how this book came about?
Actually,a buddy of mine in Dallas came up with the idea. I was telling him an entertaining fighter story, and he suggested I write a book. Given the contacts that DFG (Dominance Fight Gear) had through sponsoring fighters, it seemed like a pretty simple concept. The challenge was time. We were spending every waking moment getting Dominance off the ground, and we didn’t have the time to line up the interviews for the book, not to mention transcribing them, etc. Months later, we revisited the idea, and tossed around the idea of a co-author. I wasn’t real excited by the idea at first, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. If I could find the right person, with solid MMA contacts, and MMA knowledge, it could be a win-win. That’s when I called Logan Novatnack from The Fight Card Radio Show. We had been friends for a while, and I always liked his show. I pitched the idea to him, and within three months, the content was done, and “Tales from the Cage #1” was headed to the printers!

There are a lot of MMA books out there these days along with MMA biographies such as Chuck Liddell's and Matt Hughes's. What is the difference between all those books and this one?
Great question! There are a lot of books surfacing right now, and we knew this prior to starting the Tales from the Cage. The fan base of MMA is growing by tens of thousand of people each month. We wanted to create a book that was very easy to read. Realizing that there are many people who would read a book of 200+ pages on their favorite fighter, we thought that there would be even a bigger market for an easy reading book of 18 MMA insiders. The interviews vary in length from four to six pages per person, but the real difference is the questions we asked. We really got some good content from the insiders. We asked most of them about their "most interesting groupie experience", and “your last street fight." Both ended up being great questions based on the answers we got. We also asked them who has hit them the hardest, what was it like to be booed for the first time, and who they like least in MMA. Also, we don’t just interview fighters. We talked with trainers (Greg Jackson), managers (Monte Cox), referees (Steve Mazzagotti), and a cut man (Stitch). We also interviewed UFC Ring Girl Arianny Celeste who ended up giving us a great interview.

What kind of stories are in the book and what fighters are in it?
Some of the stories were amazing. They should make a movie about Marcus Davis. This guy’s past will shock people. Shonie Carter and Frank Shamrock are worth the price of the book alone. Phil Baroni, Kendall Grove, Bas Rutten, Kenny Florian, Matt Lindland, Rashad Evans, and Tyson Griffin all gave us some great stuff. Another interesting question we asked the fighters is “Do they listen to, and apply the advice being yelled to them by their corner during a fight?” The answers were all over the board and very entertaining.

Where can MMA fans purchase this book and how much is it?
Currently, you can purchase the book at www.talesfromthecage.com or www.dominancefightgear.com . We are pre-selling the book for $14.95. Even with the shipping charges, when you dissect it, it comes down to about one dollar a story.The price will go up to $16.95 when we get the book in stock. We're hoping to start shipping the books the first week of April.

This book sounds very interesting. It sounds like a must read for all MMA fans. Thanks for your time.
We’ve already started Volume 2, but this first one might become the most discussed book in MMA history. Thanks for having us on.

Exclusive Interview with UFC ring girl Ali Sonoma

Street Fighting Secrets!
D Wizzle's World's Hottie of the Week is UFC ring girl Ali Sonoma. Ali is currently a UFC ring girl and also a model. With her natural blonde hair and gorgeous smile, Ali Sonoma is the quintessential All- American girl. What separates her from other models is her great personality, energy, and charisma. She represents the UFC very well and D Wizzle looks forward to seeing more of her in her upcoming projects. After reading this interview, you can't help but like Ali Sonoma. This girl is definitely going places!


Being a UFC ring girl, you have had the
opportunity to travel to many different cities and countries. What has been your favorite place to visit so far and why?

One of the perks of being a UFC ring girl is traveling to all these cool places. I think one of the coolest places I have been was London. We were promoting UFC 75, which will be Sept 9th, and we stayed in the city. I saw a bunch of sights such as Buckingham Palace, Big Bend, and a haunted castle. London is very fast paced, very busy, great shopping, and was a great time. I am excited to return!

Name one person that you want to get in the Octagon and fight with?!

I would love to get in the Octagon and beat the shit out of Josh Koscheck and it's not because of Diego (Ali's boyfriend and UFC welterweight contender Diego Sanchez). We were in London working together and he said he wanted to fight me! HA!



What are your favorite exercises or workouts to do to stay in such great shape?

My favorite exercises are running, yoga, pilates, rollerblading, biking, and kickboxing. I have to constantly switch the routine up or I'll get bored. There are so many things to do to stay in great shape. You just gotta find what you enjoy.

How funny is Joe Rogan?

Joe Rogan is the man!!! He is a really good buddy of mine, we hang out, and we are always laughing. I go to his comedy shows a lot and my stomach hurts when I leave. He is super intelligent too and freakin' hilarious even when he's not trying to be. He just is. And he keeps it real.

Who are your favorite music artists?

I like all kinds of music but mostly techno and reggae. Bob Marley is my idol. He is the greatest lyricist ever! For techno, I'm really digging Deep Dish, Sharam Dubai, Tiesto, and Paul Oakenfold but I don't go a day without listening to Bob Marley!

You are from St.Louis. Who are your favorite sports teams?

Well, being from St. Louis and all, of course my favorite sports team is the Cardinals. World Series Champions baby!

What do you think of Barry Bonds?
I don't know Barry Bonds that well...don't really follow up on him, don't really care.

You have a Golden Retriever. Michael Vick is in the news due to the dogfighting scandal. What do you think of dogfighting?

Being an animal lover, especially of dogs, I am totally against dogfighting or any form of hurting an animal. I think it's a really cruel form of entertainment and it really disgusts me to think of it. Why watch dogs fight when you can watch the UFC!

Besides being a ring girl and model, you are also branching out into movies? Tell us about that.
Yeah, I was in a local film called Cantina Bar Tales. It was filmed in St. Louis and is supposed to be released this winter. My role was hilarious. I was a European chick, accent and all, who was basically looking for a rich guy but I couldn't speak English well so my character was pretty clueless. I had huge and I am talking HUGE hair with a really ugly outfit. I had the staff rollin'!! Ha ha! I got cast to be in two more movies which I'm not allowed to discuss but that will be in a few months. I plan on moving to L.A. in September and I will get started with my acting coach and taking more acting classes.

One of your dreams is to travel the world. What places and countries do you want to visit in the near future?

There are so many things I want to do, my mind can barely keep up with itself! I want to travel everywhere .For pleasure I would love to go to Paris, Italy, Australia, Brazil, all over Europe, basically everywhere. I really admire Angelina Jolie. She's a great role model. I love what she does for Cambodia. I would like to do something similar but in Africa. There is a lot of disturbance there...many kids are homeless, there are wars going on (www.SaveDarfur.org), many people are sick...I would love to even be a missionary and spread God's word to the children.

Thanks Ali for the interview! I really appreciate it!

Hey, the pleasure is all mine. Thank you! Cheers and God Bless! Oh, also check out www.ufc.com for upcoming fights and www.AliSonoma.us for my personal website and www.myspace.com/alisonoma.
