Cameron interviews MTV True Life’s Ben Garcia
MTV’s wildly popular documentary series True Life premiered in 1998 with “Fatal Dose,” an episode that delved into the lives of heroin addicts. Since the kickoff episode, the series has always maintained a distinctive, yet simple style of production and delivery – it chooses a subject, finds a few people who represent this subject well and follows them around with a camera.
On most trailers and advertisements for True Life, there’s a clip showing Muay Thai. For those long-time fight fans out there, you may remember Ben Garcia, the co-star in the 2004 True Life: I’m a Muay Thai Fighter episode. While Kit Cope, the other fighter that the episode followed, went on to be featured in a second episode, True Life: I’m a Mixed Martial Artist, and then fought in the UFC, Garcia fell off the fight fan’s radar.

Cameron’s video interview with Jade Sirisompan
Jade Sirisompan is 24 hours away from her Muay Thai debut. Fresh off her 19th birthday, she’ll be fighting Ya Ra at the Siam Paragon Night Bazaar. You can watch the event from anywhere in the world by ordering it on Pay-Per-View for only $4.99 on MuayThaiLive.tv.
Jade’s been surrounded by Muay Thai her entire life (her dad is the legendary Master Woody and she says Master Toddy “is like her second father”). There’s a lot of pressure on Jade to perform well given her lineage and associations, but she’s getting in there and doing it – while a college student no less – and that’s a victory in itself. Best of luck to Jade Saturday night. We’ll be cheering for her from the front row!
