Actually this press tour was the coolest ever because I got to go and sit front row at four different fights. I saw your guy Paul Daly in Atlantic City, I saw Kimbo Slice fight in Miami and then I went to an IFL fight in Vegas. I also got to meet Frank Shamrock who was just fighting recently. I've got it Tivo'd, so don't tell me the result!

I also got to train with Bas Rutten (former UFC Heavyweight champion) and I'm gonna go back and train with him in California later. I know he's training Kimbo Slice now.

TAC - Are you going to continue training after this?

SF - I can't wait! Funny you ask, I was just on the phone to Danny Hernandez who trained me. We only had two and half months to make it look good and that we knew what we were doing. And it was tough for me because I'd never done it before and my counterpart, Cam Gigande had, so Danny really took extra time with and helped me. Danny's in Germany right now working on the new Wachowski brothers film, but as soon as he's done in June, we're going to hook up and start training.

It gets in your blood, once you've trained for a bit. And it was hard, because we had to learn not just one art but lots of others. Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu - to learn both of them and have both of them look like we know what we're doing – that was a lot of pressure.

We trained six hours a day, six days a week, so it was more or less a nine to five job. At first it was really really tough but after you get over that hump and find that you can survive the soreness and the desensitising of your shins which by the way is not fun at all!

We got all my leg kicks shot in one day, and thank God because for the next two weeks, anything that would brush my shin just felt like fire going through my bones! I had to come back a few days later and do a couple of kicks and there's a few times in the movie where you can see my reaction wincing and that was real...but that was great because it really played into the scene.
