When fighters walk away from the sport, rarely do we see them gravitate towards the other side of the interview microphone, but the decision to do just that was a good one for “Chainsaw” Charles McCarthy. After stepping away from the sport in 2008, the former TUF 4 contestant announced that, in spite of his retirement he would be turning his focus to his American Top Team affiliated gym in Boyton Beach, Florida and would still be involved in MMA.

We haven’t heard from the 10-5 UFC veteran, who was at the wrong of a highlight-reel spinning back kick KO by David Loiseau much since then, but he recently joined up with a relatively new MMA website called “CageJunkies” (original, huh?) and has proven that he’s an adept reporter.

Case in point, in the interview he did recently with his former fellow ATT teammate Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson, McCarthy was smooth and comfortable and used his knowledge of the sport to put together an enjoyable Q&A in which the former backyard brawler opened up about his personal life and future professional aspirations like we’ve never seen him do before.
