MMA SPORTS: What is your current MMA record and what method did you win/lose by?
Regan: Professional record is 4 wins 1 loss, the loss being an amateur bout. For my last fight I won by Rear naked choke, a submission method.

MMA SPORTS: What gym do you train at and who are your trainers?
Regan: I train out of Lange’s MMA in North Manly under one of Australia’s first shoot fighters, Anthony Lange.

MMA SPORTS: What weight division do you fight in?
Regan: Welterweight 77kg.

MMA SPORTS: Give a description on your martial arts background?
Regan: Initially I started my training with just boxing, eventually I got bored with training under the one discipline and lost focus, so I decided to develop my skills with Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing.

MMA SPORTS: How long have you been training MMA for?
Regan: I started my MMA training in 2008.

MMA SPORTS: What drew you into Mixed Martial Arts and to become a fighter?
Regan: The mental and physical challenge that’s required drew me to the sport. As there are so many different aspects to MMA, you are always challenged to learn a new move and test yourself to become “the ultimate fighter”.

MMA SPORTS: Do you have a nickname?
Regan: No, but being a personal trainer, some of my clients have created their own nickname for me being dolly, “Regan dolly Wilson”, isn’t the best name to intimidate an opponent, or is it? (laughs).

MMA SPORTS: Tell us about your upbringing and what got you here today?
Regan: I grew up in New Zealand with my three brothers. My parents often struggled financially, so we were moved around a lot. Our last move was to the Northern Beaches, Australia in 2000 when I was 14. I Went through a rebellious stage during my early teens and got into a bit of trouble a few times on the street. I didn’t quite know how to handle these situations, so they often wouldn’t end in my favour. From then on I decided to learn some self-defense, so that I could feel a lot safer. In saying that, I have never had to use MMA on the streets since I’ve been training.

MMA SPORTS: If you could fight any celebrity in an MMA fight, who would it be?
Regan: Probably Jessica Alba, because it would be great to get her in the mount position. (laughs).

MMA SPORTS: What is one rule you would like to see implemented in MMA?
Regan: Random drug tests for registered Australian MMA fighters and all competitors that compete on these shores. We need to ensure that this wonderful sport is drug free.

MMA SPORTS: How would you explain your fighting style?
Regan: Only having 5 fights, I am still exploring the different and most effective style in the cage. My last fights have shown me that I’m most comfortable on the ground, but as I develop as an MMA fighter and In preparation to my next bout, my preferences have started to change and I’m focusing on my boxing skills, and feeling much more comfortable standing in the cage.

MMA SPORTS: In the cage getting ready to fight, what goes through your mind knowing that your opponent wants to hurt you?
Regan: I try not to think about that at all, having a calm and cool mindset is something I find essential to staying focused throughout the bout. You’ve always got to have your next move planned and stay one step ahead to get through.

MMA SPORTS: What made you step into Mixed Martial Arts?
Regan: The opportunity to fight and get paid for it. I definately didn’t think about it when I first started, but getting paid to do something that your truly love is a great incentive to achieve.

MMA SPORTS: In the cage getting ready to fight, is it difficult to punch someone in the face that hasn’t done anything to you?
Regan: Not really, because I know if I let my guard down my opponent won’t hesitate to lay into me, premature self-defense, that’s how I justify it anyway.

MMA SPORTS: What's that one MMA fight that stands out in your mind that you’ve had?
Regan: My only MMA loss, even though it was an amateur fight, the feeling I had after losing, definately stuck with me for a while.

MMA SPORTS: In the dressing room, while you are waiting for your fight, what are you thinking of and what are you feeling?
Regan: Excited and anxious, the adrenaline rush is very exciting before, during and after my fight. I’m also thinking about when it’s all over, I can take a break from training and my diet and eat all the chocolate I want (laughs).

MMA SPORTS: What is your goal for your MMA career?
Regan: To make a name for myself as a respected fighter. Also I would like to use my experiences to help expand other fighters to be the best they can be. Maybe one day I would like to open a gym myself.

MMA SPORTS: Thank you for the interview, anything final words?
Regan: Yes, I would like to thank my trainer Anthony Lange and all my training partners from “Lange’s MMA” for all their help with preparation and guidance.

Also I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fantastic sponsor “Mack Boots” in supporting me in my MMA career and like “Mack Boots” I too want to “SHOW THE EARTH WHO’S BOSS!!!!”
