In the world of MMA fighting, there are the big dogs…and then there’s The Colossus. James Thompson is a man built to embrace his ring name, and his larger than life appearance also packs a heavy punch that his opponents know all too well.

But what if we were to tell you that there’s more to Thompson behind that hulking exterior? What if it were possible to get a glimpse of what he’s really made of? Luckily for you, you’ve come to the right place.

The London Real has conducted an exclusive interview with The Colossus himself revealing that there’s more to this impressive man than the nickname provides. Read this article to learn more about him – and perhaps even gain a better understanding of yourself!

James Thompson: The Man Behind the Colossus

Most of us don’t get to learn much about the powerhouses of the MMA world outside of their sports stats. We know that they’re entertaining and they’re skilful at what they do, but the line is usually drawn there. However, James Thompson not only allows us to learn more about who he is but is willing to engage in the conversation.

Standing at six foot five and weighing in at around 270 pounds, Thompson is an aggressive fighter in the ring that will make any of his opponents regret standing toe to toe with him. However, The Colossus also happens to have a strong mentality to go along with his powerful force.

In his exclusive interview, James Thompson speaks on a number of different matters surrounding the MMA, including his overall record, the essence of the bout, his persona to the people, the shadowy world of betting and gambling, his first fight (and upcoming second bout) with Kimbo Slice, and more.

After watching this interview, you’ll have a much healthier understanding of Thompson’s work and his attitude towards life. Make sure you listen in on this incredible podcast and be inspired by this incredible man’s achievements despite the odds!

It’s pretty clear that there’s more to James Thompson than any of us ever knew, and we can tell that his good nature and strong work ethic will set him up for future success.
