Jamie Varner
Born Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Fighting out of Tempe, Arizona
Age 23
Height 5' 8" (173 cm)
Weight 155 lbs. (70 kg)
MMA Record (W-L-D) 13-2-1
TRAINING: Wake up at 9, eat breakfast, go to the gym, and do all my wrestling and jui-jitsu from 10-12. Then go for a run or a lift from 12-1pm. Next I go home, eat a hearty lunch, and take a nap. When I wake up I go back to the gym from 6-8 or 9 and do all my boxing and kickboxing. Then go home eat, sleep and do it all over again.
Thoughts on opponent, Marcus Hicks? He’s very dangerous. He can knock you out on his feet. He’s heavy handed and he’s got really good jiu-jitsu. He’s a tough dude. He poses many challenges and a lot of people think he will beat me. But I really see me having to pick him apart. I don’t see this fight taking more than two rounds. I just feel like I’m better and I’m going to go out and prove that. He is tough, but I will beat him.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I love to compete, and the high you get after a win is indescribable. I wrestled in college and boxed growing up so it was just the next step.
What ranks and titles have you held? I was an NJCAA All-American national
runner-up, and wrestled D1 in Pennsylvania. I was also a NCBA national champ in boxing.
Do you have any heroes? My family, training partners and my coaches
What is your favorite technique? Sleeping people, whether by submission or by KO.
What does it mean for you to fight in the WEC? It doesn’t mean anything until I make my mark and win the title.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to Lock Haven University of PA. I studied Accounting.
What was your job before you started fighting? Project manager for a construction company.
