OSP with Mark Maradei and the Barbershop Crew: Il Forno will not be the SAME bring on Raiden Kovacs

The Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei

OSP 1/27 Raiden Amadeus Kovacs

Monologue: We are out here on location at Vanish at Il Forno restaurant in Frederick Maryland today. Gotta love our live shows you never know what to expect and I am sure today is gonna be no different. From all walks of life people make choices in a variety of directions to go. Our guest today decided to make fighting part of his life with the benefit of pay and recognition. I personally would like to fight on a daily basis but you’d find beyond bars because it would not be advisable. Seriously though. Our guest is Raiden Amadeus Kovacs today.

What’s good Brother?

Thanks for joining us today.

First let me say if anyone pisses you off with a question you can body slam Rashene!

Psych, let's get into Raiden as a youngster and roll from there.

• Training and Preparation:

• How did you get started in MMA, and what drew you to the sport?

• Can you describe a typical day in your training camp and what’s most challenging in your training?

• How do you balance different disciplines in your training, such as striking, grappling, and conditioning?

• Fight Experience:

• Can you share a memorable moment from one of your fights, whether it's a victory or a lesson learned?

• What goes through your mind during the different phases of a fight (pre-fight, in-fight, post-fight)?

• Are there specific fighters you look up to or consider as inspirations?

• Mental Toughness and Mindset:

• How do you maintain mental toughness in such a demanding sport?

• How do you handle setbacks or losses?

• Opinions on the Sport:

• What are your thoughts on the evolution of MMA as a sport?

• How do you respond to critics who may view MMA as too violent?

• Where do you see the future of MMA heading?

• Training Partners and Coaches:

• How important are your training partners and coaches in your success?

• Can you share a specific piece of advice or lesson you've learned from your coaches?

• Outside the Cage:

• What do you enjoy doing outside of training and fighting to relax or unwind?

• How do you balance your personal life with the demands of being an MMA fighter?

Thanks and best of luck in your next match! The boys and I will have to come out and do a pre-fight show, drink some shots and then come in and raise hell rooting for you!

Our next show will be February 6 and that will be our Super Bowl preview so make sure you tune in at 7:05 pm!
