***Jared "The Mountain" Vanderaa SHERDOG Q&A***

[Kung Fu bb]

Yes I did and Stipe is a bad mofo but so is JDS . Stipe is someone you shouldn't take lightly but Cain could be a great match up and it can be a close fight . Stipe needs to keep Cain away to win I think

Good point.

A lot of people were talking about Lewis and Ngannou as 2 possible contenders. What do you think about Lewis "retirement" after the Hunt fight? And how do you see Ngannou matching up against top guys like Werdum, Overeem, and Stipe?

 

[Jared Vanderaa]

What got you into mma?

I been fighting since I was a kid

 

[Jared Vanderaa]

Ideally what kind of route would you like to take if and when you begin your UFC career? Slow build or fast track to the top?

Work Hard and win , put in my work , if it is the fast track or slow . Either way I grow and become a better fighter... Tho I think I want to break my name teammates record . I want to go after Smiling Sam 's most fights in a year record . He is always pushing to do better he is great person!

Ngannou is amazing fighter but I believe if Curtis Blades wasn't cut in their fight I believe he would have one . But he if stands up with anyone they are in real danger of his power

Do you think fighters need to start hiring managers who can help promote their brand rather than just get the contracts signed?

For me I was working on brand ideas but I was finding it hard to get a fight but now my manger is helping me both ways

I am no saint but more devilish but if I am going to run my mouth it is because you pissed me off. And I'm for call outs but do it with class

If it goes all five I'm predicting DC

 

[Jared Vanderaa]

Train a lot all at once

 

[Thesnake101]

Are you looking to start fast, and try to finish Odoms quickly, or are you thinking of taking your time and letting him gas himself out?

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

How would you match-up against former UFC HW Champ (pre USADA) Brock Lesnar?

I got my game plan and between that and what he gives me that will be what sets the pace of how I will win

 

[SakuWandyCop]

Hey Jared, when you first started training?

 

[Kung Fu bb]

I hope you´re right.

Do you watch small men fight? What do you think about DJ's situation in the Dillashaw fight? Who would win?

 

[Jared Vanderaa]

How would you match-up against former UFC HW Champ (pre USADA) Brock Lesnar?

I'd beat him like a red headed step child

 

[Jared Vanderaa]
