Gavin Tucker: From Fighter To Martial Artist

Every interview recording on my phone is laid out as a sound wave, with the bursts along the track growing in size as the speakers’ voices grow louder. Traditionally, the rise and fall of those files is relatively even — short blasts that rise to a peak and fall back down, separated by a brief blip with no discernable movement where the next question is being queued up or the subject is taking a second to consider their answer.

The sound wave that is generated when speaking with Gavin Tucker is decidedly different because the Canadian featherweight speaks in a soft, even tone that is uncharacteristic of someone who plies his trade inside the UFC Octagon.
