Art ‘One Glove’ Jimmerson Interview
He has only one fight inside the octagon, however, it was probably the most important fight of his life. Art Jimmerson would forever be remembered thereafter as ‘One Glove’ after wearing one boxing glove into the octagon against Royce Gracie at the very first UFC event back in 1993.
In this exclusive interview with MyMMANews.com, Jimmerson talks about how a near molestation by a neighbor led him to boxing as a way of self-defense. He later became a successful boxer, earned in an invite to the UFC, and the rest is history. He also talks about being declared dead physically and being brought back to life as well as the reason why he would like to fight Kimbo Slice.

- After writing for Ultimate MMA magazine and serving as the editor for U.S. Combat Sports, both of which went on hiatus, I decided to venture out on my own and enlist a staff of writers and photographers that could help me achieve my goal of telling stories that would otherwise go untold. We pride ourselves in taking a deeper look into the fighter, and understanding what makes them click.
