“Bad” Brad Mcdonald (3-0) a 16yr old phenom out of Oakdale CA, represents Last Stand fight team, made his professional debut on 11.02.2008 for Gladiator Challenge in Porterville CA at Eagle Mountain casino, winning by Triangle Choke over Rob Witlock ( 0-2) in under two minutes. Since than he has gone on to win two more fights in 2009 most recently at Red Hawk Casino with a win over a very tough Alex Gonzales who was undefeated at the time. Brad is set to take on Tommy Taylor on December 12th 2009 at RedHawk casino

Brad has shown the heart and determination to do what is necessary to prepare him for that next level…he is willing to take on all comers and wants to show that he is the best in his weight class, although he and his trainer Tom Theofanopoulos both agree that Brad needs to take his time and not get too ahead of himself, Brad wants to “shock the world”. Tom says he loves his heart but wants Brad to get more experience before he jumps to the elite fighters in his division.

When I set out to interview Brad, I asked him a bunch of boring questions his responses were much more interesting, so I thought what better way to interview Brad than to let him speak his mind. Enjoy…

“My name is Bad Brad Mcdonald im 16 years old with a pro record of 3-0 with 3 submissions.Im currently the youngest fighter to step in the cage(15 years old) .I am a muay thai and jui jitsu fighter.I live in Modesto, California where i have been born and raised. I Train at the last stand fight team in Oakdale CA,

I see myself challenging for the title when I take out everybody in my division and they dont have no one else to give me.

I have found a home with Gladiator Challenge, I love fighting there.

My goals are to perform to my highest abilities, and be on top of my game every fight. If i can do that then i dont see anyone beating right now.

What goes thru my mind before a fight is i have to take this guy out! and i make sure when im training that everyday i work my hardest so when i go in there i know that this guy didn’t work harder than me for this. and i take a lot of sacrifices because this is my life. This is all i have and all i want.

My two brothers Mike “Mayday” McDonald and Justin “Bushido Kid” Smitley, have had alot of success in their careers. They have made it real easy for me to get in there and perform at my best. and they are super strict on me when it comes down to business(fighting). and this is not a game, this is life or death to me. Quitting is not tolerated in my family or at the Last Stand Fight Team. I am a warrior and fighting is my life and i take it very serious. This adds no pressure to me what so ever, cuz most guys that step in there, this isnt there life, they might be doing it for fun or the money. Thats one thing i have on most everybody i fight, This is my life,try and take it from il take you out.

My favorite style to fight is definitely a stand up fighter. I love to stand up and bang and put on a good show to who ever is watching.”
