Greetings fellow mma fans! 2011 is here and "Fans Interview Fighters" continues, and this time with our first UFC fighter, Nam Phan. If you are not familiar with this series please check out the last two installments which featured Daniel Cormier and Ryan Couture.
I would like to start by announceing that "Fans Interview Fighters" is looking to expand. I have said from the beginning that this series is for all of us, and I have been contacted by another sbnation regular who has some connections to a few fighters and would like in on the action. If you have a way to contact a fighter please don't hesitiate to be a part of this. You can take the reigns or put me in contact with them, either way is fine and should help grow what we have going on here. If you do want to help contribute please leave your e-mail in the comments and I will be in touch to get the ball rolling.
Now onto Nam Phan. Nam is our first UFC fighter so i'm interested to see what type of responses we get and how type lipped he will be when our questions are about the business side of the sport and UFC as opposed to questions specifically centered around his career. Nam recently competed on The Ultimate Fighter Team GSP vs Team Koscheck. We then saw him slug it out with Leonard Garcia in the fight of the night at the TUF Finale, which would go on to become known as the most controvesial decision of 2010. Nam has a career record of 16-8 fighting everywhere from WEC, KOTC, Strikeforce, Sengoku, and now UFC.

Often times fighters will take the TUF route to get into the UFC, like you signing on for a lightweight season despite normally fighting at featherweight. Did you feel like you could compete in the UFC at lightweight, or did you have expectations that they would fold featherweight in to their ranks? Did you feel that shifting from the UFC to the WEC would have been an option, had neither of those scenarios worked out for you?
You know what's really fun? Not being a raving lunatic. Give it a try some time, you might just like it!

Are you satisfied you chose the TUF route into the UFC, or was there even another option of entering?
How influential is the assignment of contestants to teams in your opinion, given your recent experience. Did you feel at a serious disadvantage that you were not given the same exposure as team St. Pierre? Or is the timeline so short that the improvements to be made are negligible.
Would you approach a hypothetical rematch with Leonard Garcia differently or would you just work harder to implement the original gameplan.
Thanks dude.
