The Drew Fickett situation, direct from Drew Fickett

June 29, 2008 – 1:06 pm by fightlinker

There was some doubt brought up regarding the validity of the Drew Fickett tirade posed on the interwebs yesterday. Well, our bud Ariel from MMA Rated got in touch with Drew to find out what was up. And not only was Drew really responsible for that, he elaborated during a 15 minute audio interview which is sure to have you laughing your ass off.

Listen as Drew tells the story of having to skip getting drunk and watching Iron Man in order to fight for Strikeforce (he thought he was fighting Joe Riggs to boot). Plus, if you wanna know why he keeps calling people ’skaters’, it’s all explained in the interview. Check it out!

**UPDATE** MMA Rated also had the voicemail Mark Pavelich left Drew and his manager. It’s been taken down (if anyone has a copy, please send it to me and I’ll make sure it gets back up), but TKO Extreme has the following transcript:

“It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,

I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed.”

**UPDATE #2** Look what I found in my browser cache. Nothing but professional. -kentyman

**UPDATE #3** Unfortunately we gotta verify our legal situation before we can continue to share this. Down (for now!)
