Bowks Talking Bouts #63: Deanna Bennett

I had a great talk with Deanna Bennett a few weeks out from her bout with Karina Rodriguez at Invicta FC 28.

 

We discussed her opponent's skill set as well as the feeling of being back in Invicta, her goals on getting another crack at an Invicta FC championship (2:41), having her first amateur bout seven years ago and how she initially got into MMA training just to get fit (4:40), her regular interaction with fans on social media (7:45), how DeAnna's fighting home is Utah (9:42), fighting Colleen Schneider at Bantamweight and how Court McGee helped her confidence heading into the fight (11:03), confiding in her good friend Bacon after tough losses (15:07), stories of being hangry heading into fights (18:31), how her season of The Ultimate Fighter stood out from all the others in as far as the fighters loving being in the house (20:29), referencing Iggy and the Stooges in her instagram bio as well as some other music she likes (26:03), thinking about coming out to a Tim and Eric song for a fight (28:26), and more!
