Andy Anderson: Big Time


Andy Anderson was a badass back in the day. Still is if you ask me. Andy fought at UFC 5 against a monster Jon Hess. Though things didn't work out for him, he continued to smash anyone in his way. He lived with a motto of, "anytime, anyplace, anywhere."

I contacted him just to see how he was doing. Here is what he had to say.


Hello BJ

Great to hear from you, As for me, my case looks like it's going well. I think God only knows about that, visit and read free-andy.com. 

I still talk to some of the older fighters from time to time. Before the UFC, we were fighting in tough-man contests all over the world or at least that what some people called them. I have been in to Tae Kwon Do from the time I was 7 and am very good at it I may add. My teacher, Master Kim from Ok city was/is one of the worlds best in demonstrations. I have been just a good fighter from the club business to cash fights, from Japan to Mexico I like to fight. Tank Abbott - the truth be known, is really a nice guy who had one hell of a punch. I dropped one of his boys in Japan in a club. Long story, but it ended well at least for me.

If you combine all of our talents from the past, you get the new MMA fighter that everyone is training for now. We all had skills but some were just as RAW as a street fighter, and now we have the MMA Game. That used to just be a way of life for most of us back then. My old motto was I'll go any time any place for any reason, and now it's on every TV in the world.


 

As far as prison goes well this is Beaumont (Bloody Beaumont) and fighting is a way of life in here. I had never been in jail let alone prison prior to Beaumont. I run no less than 5 miles every day. There is nothing to lift but you don't need it; you get very creative on how to work out with what is available instead of conventional equipment. Looking around I see about 5 or 6 inmates right now that could give the best MMA fighters a run.

The original UFC is what was and always will be real for me. No time limits, no gloves, no shit. Just get in and go. Win or lose, if you walk into the ring you have my respect. You will always have nay-sayers that talk shit but if you have never walked in the shoes of a fighter then don't judge. In the beginning of the UFC they would hunt you down and see if you could stand with the best. If you couldn't, then you didn't get in and some times people wish they never had LOL. I lost 20% vision in my right eye fighting. Still to this day any time, any place, for any reason, I'll go.

I hope things are going great for you and I wish you the very best. Hit me up any time.
All the best
Andy Anderson.
