PDG: The last time we talked was at the StrikeForce event. What have you been up to since?

Frank: I have just been ruling the universe and kicking asses on my way. Financing, business, training, movies, site design!!

PDG: The next StrikeForce event is in March. Are you going to be on that fight card?

Frank: I hope so I would like to fight Renzo Gracie but I don't know what his problem is. I think he is spending too much time at acting school and is still looking for his sack. When we put an offer out there and he has not yet taken it.

PDG: At the last StrikeForce event, Cung Le challenged you to a fight and you accepted. Why don't you fight him in March?

Frank: If I can't kick Gracie's butt then I guess it will be Cung. I would love to fight Cung and I am sure he would have no problem accepting the fight. He is just not smart enough to realize that I am going to smash him.

PDG: Were you impressed by his victory over Sam Morgan?

Frank: I was surprised he didn't have a heart attack. He looked terrible and I think it is because he was filming a movie and neglecting his training. I don't think it was a good display of his skills.

PDG: Would you say that Morgan exposed some of his weaknesses?

Frank: I could see that he was still scared to get hit in the face. He showed that he has good martial skills and kicking but he looked very tired at the end of the fight.

PDG: Is StrikeForce going to be involved in any cross promotional events in 2008?

Frank: I think there is going to be a least one per year. I am thinking of starting my own promotion so that all my friends can beat each other up.

PDG: What would you call it?

Frank: MMA entertainment; it would be in a sunken box, no cage, no ring. I think the ring and the cage get in the way. If you want to see people really beat each other up you need to get rid of all that other stuff. You know stadium style seating and a sunken chute box in the center.

PDG: How serious are you about this idea?

Frank: I think it is something we will probably do in 2009. I haven't yet had a lot of time to work on it. I've been spending most of my time trying to set up the Shamrock versus Shamrock fight.

PDG: I read that Gary Shaw is working on the promotional side to get that fight signed.

Frank: My company and Ken's Co. are setting up the fight. Gary is also working on the financial side of the deal. This fight is definitely going to happen and right now we are just looking at different media outlets to decide which one we will air the fight. This fight is going to be bigger than the sport and it should be a mainstream event. It is a once in a lifetime event so we are going to probably have multiple promotions involved. I think it is a story that speaks to the mass public and media.
