Jay Cee: ”Tell me a bit about how you got into being a ring girl? I know you currently do shows for Shock’n'Awe, are there any other promotions you work for or have worked for in the past?”

Poppy Thompson: ”My Best friend Lexi asked if I wanted to be a ring girl with her, I had never watched a fight in my life so I was pretty nervous at first but I’m totally hooked now. I have worked for a few other promotions but I mainly work for Shock n Awe.”

Jay Cee: ”What is your favourite thing about being a ring-girl?”

Poppy Thompson: ”The best bit is meeting new people, I have made so many friends through the sport. I also train at Gym01 mixed martial arts so I get to see the guys and girls train for big fights, it’s amazing how much time and training goes into it all.”

Jay Cee: ”Are you an actual MMA fan? If so, who is your favorite MMA fighter? and why?”

Poppy Thompson: ”I’m a Big fan, I love watching MMA! And lucky for me I get the best seat so I can watch all the action up close. It’s so hard to pick a favorite fighter as they all have different strengths and weaknesses but at the moment it’s Callum ‘Little Country’ Jones. I watched his last fight and he completely destroyed the other guy.”

Jay Cee: ”Tell me a bit about what else you do outside of being a ring girl Poppy? I have seen some nice modelling pictures of you, is modelling something you do full time or just something on the side?”

Poppy Thompson: ”I do a bit of modeling part time for fashion and glamour but for my full time job I’m actually a mechanical engineer, I work on Auto Cad drawing up building services…I bet you didn’t expect that! Haha!”

Jay Cee: ”You’re right, I wasn’t expecting that…lol…Last question now…What can we expect from Poppy Thompson in the future? what are your plans for 2012?”

Poppy Thompson: ”Well at the moment I’m filming for a new documentary on MMA Wives that will be coming out towards the end of this year and with Shock N Awe getting bigger and bigger I think I’m going to be a very busy girl.”

Jay Cee: “Good stuff, well that about wraps it up Poppy. Thanks again for taking some time out to be our May “Babe Of The Month” and good luck for the future!”
