Faygot's Message: Boston Pride: Hello David, let's start with how you got involved into the martial arts.

David Roy: Well it started when I was six years old. I used to watch those Shaw brothers Kung-Fu movies
every Saturday afternoon and go outside afterwars to my backyard and practice Tiger style and Monkey style and things like that as if I knew them LOL

BP: LOL What were you like as a child?

DR: Well I was a bit short and real skinny. I was always short for my age so I got picked on alot. Not having a dad around and growing up with 3 sisters makes you into a little sissy sometimes. Throw in the fact that you're also short and it makes growing up a living hell sometimes.
But it all changed with kung-fu movies and going to the YMCA for swimming lessons.

BP: The YMCA?

DR: Yeah, when I was 9 my mom enrolled me in the summer swimming classes and there was a Karate class down the hall. I peaked in and the instructor asked if I wanted to come in. He was teaching a class for women over 50. I joned his class after that. I felt real comfortable with these old women because I could learn in an environment where I wasn't picked on.

BP: Wow, did you ever become a black belt?

DR: Yes, I made it to black belt in 4 years. By the time I was 13 I was beating the old women easily and my confidence grew.

BP: How were things in your personal life then?

DR: I started fighting back the bullies when I reached brown belt level around the age of 12. I would still lose but at least I fought back.

BP: That's real cool. How was high school like for you?

DR: High school was alright. Everyone knew I was a Karate black belt so I didn't really get picked on anymore in high school.
I didn't wrestle because I was too busy taking Karate classes and messing around with computers. I did do Track and Field my junior and senior year and I was always involved in the glee club and other such activities.

BP: So when did MMA come into your life?

DR: Well when I was 21 I joined a martial arts club in Amherst. That's where I met Kirik Jenness. He became like the father I never had. We grew very close.
He was a staunch believer in traditional arts but after I saw the first UFC I bought all the Gracie tapes and practiced day and night. I submitted Kirik 10 times in one afternoon much to his surprise LOL After that the rest is history.

BP: Cool story, how did the UG come about and your competitive career?

DR: Well the UG was Kirik's idea. My career started in the dojo. After having learned from countless tapes and books I had become quite formidable and was 5-0 in my dojo under vale tudo rules.

BP: Who were your opponents?

DR: One was Kirik, the other was a kid we were teaching from the local high school, another was a retired mailman, the other was a white belt in Tae Kwon Do, and my last dojo opponent was a high school freshman wrestler whose wrestling record was 2-8.

BP: So after these victories you decided to try your hand in Pancrase?

DR: Yes, my opponent was Jason Walls. I talked alot of smack the first time but it was only to hype up the fight.
I lost that fight due to inexperience. I don't think I paced myself too well.

BP: You fought Jason a second time correct? What happened then?

DR: Well, I lost that one too. I had trained wrong for that fight. I thought I could execute this flying armbar trick I learned from a book by Jimmy "Super Fly" Snooka. I practiced this move every day for 6 months. I lived, breathed and shit Jason Walls. I didn't realize how much stronger Walls had gotten. He's got good technique too but he got lucky and armbarred me in under a minute.
I really don't like to talk about that.

BP: Tell us about your foray into NHB?

DR: Yes, I fought a guy named Hess. I don't even remember his first name anymore.

BP: Yes, that was his first and last appearance in NHB. We looked up his background, he used to be a postal worker who lost the use of his left pinky from a dog attack and was collecting his disability pension. He was a white belt blue stripe in the art of Joe Son Do.

DR: Well whatever it was I don't remember. It was a tough fight but I prevailed. I have semi-retired after that due to other more lucrative opportunities that fight opened for me in the world of being a fight judge.
I am also too busy running many website I have which bring me in alot of money.

BP: You have a porn site right? freesexontheweb.com, right?
We are impressed with the amount of bandwidth you give to homosexual pictures. That is why we are interviewing you for Boston Pride magazine. Thank you for furthering our cause of gay rights.

DR: No problem, everyone should have equal opportunity to show their body as I see it. No problem at all.

BP: Dave, any future fight plans?

DR: Well I'm 30 now and in the fight business that's too old to be real effective. I'm pretty satisfied with having been the Amherst AC 1997 Dojo Champion. I fought in a world title fight for the Hook'N'Shoot Lightweight title against Jason Walls and I won my Super Fight against Hess.
But my Dojo Championship probraly stands as my best and proudest achievement, that was some tough competition.

BP: True but isn't your combined record 1-2?

DR: Technically no. My Hook'N'Shoot record is 0-2, my pro NHB record is 1-0, and my amateur record (dojo matches) is 5-0.
So I have an amateur record of 5-0 and a pro combined record of 1-2. But that probraly is the best and most meaningful 1-2 record anyone has ever had in the history of MMA.
Who gets a world title fight when you're only 0-1 at the time? Only I have done that. Plus my dojo matches and pro record combined make me 6-2. I am pretty damn proud of what I've accomplished.

BP: Well said then, Dave it was a pleasure interviewing you, keep up the good work!

BP: Thanks bro.
