Q: How would you describe your fighting style to those who haven’t watched you before?
Heiderman: I’m pretty diverse. Started off boxing, grew up wrestling, and then I picked up the other martial arts and been training under a jiu-jitsu coach for the past four years.
Q: What do you think will be the biggest challenge you’ll give your opponent this season?
Heiderman: The diversity. If I can’t beat you on my feet, I’ll take you down. If I can’t take you down, I’ll beat you on my feet.
Q: Do you think there is going to be a challenge living in the same house with people that you’re actively competing against?
Heiderman: I can see it being a challenge, but I can also see it being an advantage. You train with them, you start understanding their tendencies. So, I can see it as an advantage.
Q: Why do you think you’ll be the one to win this season of The Ultimate Fighter?
Heiderman: I’m just hungry for it. It’s my dream, it’s what I want to do. This is where I’m starting.
