Sean Carter ahead of Cage Warriors 60 "I'm always going for the finish, if you're not you shouldn't be in there"

Kingdom MMA speak to Cage Warriors Sean Carter ahead of CW60 on Saturday night

by Ben Heather @benheather

Kingdom MMA caught up with Sean Carter today ahead of his fight this weekend at Cage Warriors 60 and discussed his fight with Richard Griffin, signing with Cage Warriors and how he changed his life by losing 50kgs. Sean could potentially fight twice on Saturday as his fight is a lightweight title tournament reserve bout and the winner will then step in if needed later on in the night to fight for the title in the unfortunate event that one of the lightweights in the tournament gets injured and can not fight.

Ben: Hi Sean, thank you for agreeing to speak to us ahead of what could be a very big night for your career. Firstly, for those who do not know much about Sean Carter or haven't seen you fight what can they expect to see on Saturday night in London?
Carter: They can expect to see a man with a beard throwing his arms and legs about.

Ben: You have had quite a transformation in your life over the past few years dropping 50kgs in the past 6 years. What inspired you to initially make the drastic change in your life?
Carter: I was 24 and could barely walk the stairs without being out of breath so I thought it was time for a change. Just to get fitter and look better and be more powerful with the chicks. I had always done martial arts as a kid and just got back into it to lose some weight.

Ben: You could be seen as an inspiration to a lot of people out there who would like to change their lifestyle, how did you go about starting to lose the weight?
Carter: I can only say what worked for me but in my experience you have got to change the way you are and be honest with yourself. Some people can eat shit food and get away with it, some people can't there is no point saying its unfair its just the way it is. I was one of them people if I eat bad i get fat. So to start with I would eat clean 6 days a week and eat whatever I wanted 1 day a week.

Exercise wise find something that you can bring yourself to do a few times a week. If you hate everything find the thing you hate the least.

DON'T GIVE UP IT WILL COME OFF

Ben: On Saturday night you have the possibility of fighting twice in one night, as a possible injury replacement for the lightweight title fight have you done anything to prepare for this?
Carter: The Same as always just had to increase the rounds of sparing and did a few extra bicep curls.  

Ben: Have you ever had two fights on the same night before?
Carter: I once had had a TLC match and a hell in the cell match in the same night with my brothers.

Ben: What would it mean to you if you won your fight, then had to fight again and won the cage warriors lightweight title?
Carter: It would be truly wicked and totally radical man

Ben: You are now 6-0 in your professional career and 2-0 fighting for cage warriors. Do you think a win on Saturday night, even if you are not required to take part in the title fight puts you as a front runner for the next lightweight contender?
Carter: I don't know maybe

Ben: How has the camp gone for this fight?
Carter: Really well thanks for asking

Ben: How do you expect the fight to go on Saturday night against Richard Griffin?
Carter: Hes a tough dude but I'm always going for the win and the finish if your not you shouldn't be in there.

Ben: On paper Griffin does not have the best record losing nearly two thirds of his fights. Do you think he is more of a threat than his record suggests?
Carter: yes 100%

Ben: Only a couple of months ago you signed a five fight exclusive contract to fight for cage warriors. How pleased were you to be offered that contract? 
Carter: Really pleased, it felt great to be on board with such a great promotion. 

Ben: Does the hype behind Conor McGregor make you dream about what could happen in your career?
Carter: I just concentrate on one fight at a time at the moment it is all on Cage Worries 60. 

Ben: Would you like to say thanks to anyone or any sponsors?
Carter: Thanks to all my coaches, sponsors and team mates. I would be nowhere without you guys. Thanks to Cage Warriors for having me back and thanks to you for just being you #GetSome

Everyone at Kingdom MMA would like to thank Sean for his time and wish him all the best ahead of his fight this weekend at Cage Warriors 60.
