CR Exclusive Interview with Stephen Regman


Mr. Regman and his daily apparel.


There is one name flying up the amateur MMA welterweight ranks: Stephen Regman.

Stephen Regman sports a 7-2 record and is the current DSMMA welterweight champion. He trains out of Team Tiger Schulmann with Bellator and UFC vets like Nick Pace, Uriah Hall, Lyman Good, Louis Gaudinot, and Munah Holland. Nothing can really go wrong training with those guys!

In his upcoming fight, which is also his 3rd title defense for DSMMA, against Roland Barringer, Regman looks to utilize his excellent kickboxing for an early KO.

He sat down with us before his upcoming title fight. Check it out:

Championship Rounds: So I heard your next fight is on the 21st and it's going to be your 3rd title defense! Talk about your next title challenger.

Stephen Regman: He has pretty good stand up and Mauy Thai! I’ll be alert because he does have good punching power. I back down from no one, though, and as champ I will have to once again show why I am the champion!

CR: What's the plan for training camp?

SR: No specific gameplan for the fight. I’ll just go out there and fight the way I know how to fight best. My teammates and I have been working our cardio even more just so that we are ready for anything.

CR: When are you planning on making your pro MMA debut?

SR: Hopefully, I can make my Pro MMA debut soon! I’ve been working a lot on improving my skill sets between kickboxing, jui jitsu, and my cardio. By doing all of that, I know that it would be a smooth transition for me when the time comes!

CR: Who are your typical training partners at Team Tiger Schulmann?

SR: Well, there’s the former Bellator Welterweight Champion Lyman Good who is extremely strong, well rounded and an excellent person to train with. He is also getting ready for his Bellator fight September 28th in Atlantic City. Uriah Hall, current ROC Middleweight Champion, who is lighting fast with both his hands and legs. Carlos Brooks, one of the quickest light heavyweights I know! Last but not least, Nissim Levy. When fighting Nissim, always keep your hands up! He has a freight train for a punch; always have to be focused! You know, all of these men are great individuals and are also part of the reasons why I have gotten better and am successful throughout my fight career.

CR: What made you want to become a kickboxer and MMA fighter?

SR: I was a huge power ranger and ninja turtle fan has a kid! After I started training with Tiger Schulmann’s MMA, I decided to pay more attention to mixed martial arts fights on the television. Ever since then, I also begun having interest in trying it out myself and here we are now!

Great interview with a very promising fighter! Make sure you guys follow him on Twitter @Stephen_Regman and support him in his career as it unfolds!
