Jimmy Flick- River Spirit Casino here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Myles Painter- As an Oklahoman, what is your favorite venue to put a show on in the Sooner State and why? I do not eat any condiments besides BBQ Sauce (preferably Head Country made here in Oklahoma) I’m probably the pickiest fighter in the world no joke. Myles Painter-Tell us an interesting fact about yourself. Jimmy Flick – Honestly, I don’t Fighting is my dream, my hobby and what I like to do when I am not working or spending time with my beautiful wife and two beautiful girls.

There’s a choke they call the Von Flue, but I call it the Von Flick because I have 4 pro wins by it and it is my favourite choke. Jimmy Flick – Yes sir, I love the ground and feel I can submit any flyweight in the game. ![]() Myles Painter – The majority of your professional victories have come via submission, what is your go-to submission of choice? When I turned 17 I dropped out of school moved to Corpus Christi, Texas, and started training under BJJ Black Belt Hector Munoz, and from that day on I knew I wanted to be a fighter. Growing up life wasn’t easy, my dad worked hard to keep us in sports but we lived a poor life but that’s what makes me work so hard. Jimmy Flick- I started wrestling when I was a kid, I had two older brothers and two older sisters so I got picked on a lot. Myles Painter- How did you come to be involved with mixed martial arts? Since my first fight with LFA, I have been working on my stand up and becoming the well-rounded fighter I know I am. I feel that helps me a lot going into this fight and my mindset is good, we are getting to do what we love during this crazy time, I couldn’t be happier. Jimmy Flick- Well with my first main event being against a guy like Johnny Bedford with almost 40 pro fights and being a huge underdog. With this being the second LFA event you have headlined, what is your mindset heading into this event and how have you grown as a mixed martial artist? Myles Painter- You are scheduled to fight for the LFA flyweight title at LFA 86 on July 24 against Greg Fischer.
