Interview with a Teen Drama Fan: MMA Fighter David Evans

Watch David Evans dominate in an MMA fight and you might just fall in love with him. Discover he’s a “Beverly Hills, 90210” fan and you’ll fall in love with him even more.

When Evans appeared on the “Beverly Hills 90210 Show” podcast last month as part of its “America’s Zip Code” special, I was immediately taken in by his well-articulated passion for my all-time favorite television show. His appearance, however, was all too brief and I knew I wanted to hear more.

Fortunately, a few days ago, David was kind enough to hop on Zoom for an in-depth chat. We discussed…

• How he started watching “Beverly Hills, 90210”

• What he thinks of the ways the show does and doesn’t incorporate diversity

• Why I consider him a “unicorn” in the fandom

• Which other teen dramas he’s seen

• His MMA career
