INTERVIEW WITH SCOTT LIGHTY
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT BRIAN SMITH

(10.2.04) Having trained with the famous Fairtex camp in San Francisco and Meijiro gym in Holland, has made Scott Lighty an excellent fighter. He made his biggest impression during the K-1's "Bellagio III" in August of 2004 as he gave up 45 pounds, but still won his bout. He also trains with UFC Superstar Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell.

Lighty offered his thoughts about the upcoming Heavyweight Gladiators "King of the Gladiators" Professional 8-Man Heavyweight Kickboxing Tournament in Milwaukee on Saturday, November 13th.

Brian Smith: What is your fighting style?

Scott Lighty: "I started training in Muay Thai Kickboxing when I was 19."

B. Smith: What will be your strategy for the “King of the Gladiators" Tournament? What do you consider your biggest weapon?

Scott Lighty: "My strategy is to go in there and fight. I feel I can knock someone out with every one of my weapons, especially the low kick and the liver punch."

B. Smith: What do you know about your first round opponent?

Scott Lighty: "I saw his picture. That’s about it. I don’t really care."

B. Smith: How do you feel about K-1, Heavyweight Gladiators and other 8-man events?

Scott Lighty: "I think it’s cool. I like to prove my skills. I like to fight. More fights in one night sounds great to me."

B. Smith: What fighter do you look up too?

Scott Lighty: "I look up to the tough fighters like Chuck Liddell and Arturo Gatti. I just want to get in there and knock them all out."
