Kyle Dietz Interview

After a disappointing loss in his debut bout in the WEC Kyle 'K-Deezy' Dietz looks to rebound against the experienced Brad Pickett. "In my first WEC fight, I felt overwhelmed and I came out too gung ho. My adrenaline was up and down. Now that I've experienced that, I am going to come out more focused for this fight." Pickett is a wily veteran from the UK and a veteran of the Cage Rage promotions. When asked why he took this fight, Dietz said, "I think this is a good fight for me to test myself and see where I am at in my career." After training at Pat Miletich's in Iowa, he followed ex-Miletich and UFC fighter Spencer Fisher to his gym, Evolution MMA. "It's a great team. I have a great camp. I trained a lot with Drew Mcfederies on my standup and he has pushed me a lot to get better." When asked how he fits into the WEC bantamweight division, K-Deezy acknowledged he knows the top people are better than he is but he would hang with them just fine. "I haven't peaked yet and I still have a lot to learn. I'm still a sponge who is has a lot to learn in this sport." Even though he it is early in his career, a win over a well-rounded Pickett Dec 19th will get him one step closer to being a top guy in the WEC bantamweight division.
