FCF:   What have you been up to?
Ray "Bradda" Cooper:     I fought in Japan against Jutaro Nakao in January, so it’s kind of a long lay off. I have been training and looking for fights, just getting ready for the next fight.

FCF:   You said that you wanted to stay active this year, but ended up doing just the opposite, even after that big win against Nakao. What happened?
RC:     I guess that some of the promoters had a misunderstanding with whom I was under. I was never under any management until recently. I guess that I have not been communicating with much people outside of SuperBrawl. I was just hanging out, waiting for SuperBrawl and not getting contacts off the island and with Shooto. We have been more active now, trying to get into more circuits.

FCF:   So you are still actively looking for fights?
RC:     Yeah, we are trying to get fights every 6-8 weeks. That’s what we’re looking for.

FCF:   You have a big fight lined up. You are scheduled to fight Frank Trigg in the WEF. How did that fight come about?
RC:     We got in touch with the WEF and another fight fell through [previously at the same event], so they called us back and said that they needed a fighter for Frank Trigg and I was ready to fight, so we took the fight.

FCF:   Give us an update on the Jesus Is Lord team.
RC:     Just about all of our fighters are ready to fight. Ronald [Jhun] is ready to fight and Stephen "Bozo" Palling…just about everyone, but nothing is signed yet. Things are still in negotiations right now.

FCF:   Thank you.
RC:     Thanks Chris.
