Bowks Talking Bouts #36: Saad Awad

I had KOTC, Strikeforce, and Bellator veteran Saad Awad on the show and we talked about a few intriguing topics. 

 

 

Thoughts on his Bellator 186 opponent Zach Freeman [intro and at 3:49], why he took so many catchweight fights in recent years (1:38), the desire to add new weight classes going forward [ie/ 165lbs] (2:37), where he sees his career going after Bellator 186 (4:50), being super close to getting a title shot all throughout his Bellator tenure (5:56), comments on Bellator's growth having been with the organization since Bellator 10 (6:46), Bellator's ability to differentiate their product and how well Scott Coker treats the martial artists (7:51), debuting at a fugazi tournament in Costa Rica that had Bloodsport vibes (8:54), hitting up a Tim and Faith concert (11:48), the music Saad likes to train to (12:47), and more!
