UFC Lightweight Jacob Volkmann isn’t a man who will keep his opinions to himself. The man who is nicknamed “Christmas” once told Joe Rogan after a victory inside the Octagon that he’d like to fight The President, which caused a visit from the Secret Service.

AddictedMMA: You have been involved in some situations as of late that some people called controversial. Is that just the personality you have, speak you mind at all costs, or do you feel things have been overblown by the media?

Jacob Volkmann: I speak the truth and am not afraid to speak. The government is run by a bunch of morons that vote on which lobbyist pays the most. They make policies on things they do not understand, like Obamacare.

AddictedMMA: After your win against Danny Castillo at the UFC on Versus 5 card, do you have any idea on who is your next opponent, or is there anyone you would like to face?

JV: No idea, but I would like Donald Cerrone, Clay Guida, Ben Henderson, or Melvin Guillard.

AddictedMMA: You made your lone appearance for Bellator back at Bellator 7 in 2009. With the tournament format there used to decide title shots, is there a part of you that would have liked to stay in the promotion and made a run at one of the promotions titles?

JV: No Bellator is crap.

AddictedMMA: And finally, because we are AddictedMMA, what is Jacob Volkmann addicted to?

JV: I collect coins.
