MaXPreview:
Ultimate Fight Night
August
6 on Spike TV will feature one of the most important events in
UFC history, as the cable network debuts the first "Ultimate
Fight Night" special to UFC fans across the nation. This
will be the first live televised UFC show on cable TV since the
Ultimate Fighter Finals in April, and the ratings this show draws
will set the tone for other upcoming live specials scheduled
to air on Spike in forthcoming months.
The
month of August is packed with UFC specials on both Spike TV
and Fox Sportsnet, along with UFC 54 airing on pay per view and
season two of The Ultimate Fighter debuting toward the end of
the month. Ultimate Fight Night represents one of the most important
nights for the UFC in this jam packed month, as this show should
be seen by more sets of eyeballs than any other UFC event airing
during the month with the possible exception of the debut episode
of season two of The Ultimate Fighter.
In
comparison to UFC 54, millions of people will be watching Ultimate
Fight Night live whereas only a hundred thousand or so (if UFC
is that fortunate) will be watching UFC 54. Ultimate Fight Night
also features a more compelling card for the casual fan who is
interested in seeing the stars of the first season of The Ultimate
Fighter compete for the "first time" in the UFC, whereas
these casual fans have little to no idea who Jeremy Horn is and
don't much care about Mike Van Arsdale.
You
can say the same thing about the headline fight for Ultimate
Fight Night, as fans don't care about Ivan Salaverry and have
no idea who Nathan Marquardt is since he has never fought in
the UFC before. But it will not be that fight that draws the
ratings, should this card draw the ratings at all. And it might
not, considering UFC's key demographic of young men may not even
be home Saturday night to watch this card.
The
fights that draw the audience will be the fights involving season
one Ultimate Fighters. Stephan Bonnar vs Sam Hoger and Kenny
Florian vs. Alex Karalexis would especially seem to hold interest
with casual fans as both fights feature competitors (Bonnar and
Florian respectively) who made it to the finals of The Ultimate
Fighter in April. Fights involving Chris Leben, Nate Quarry and
Josh Koscheck should also standout in the ratings patterns for
the show considering their star status from the Spike TV reality
series.
The
Salaverry vs. Marquardt fight is interesting as a middleweight
contenders match. As noted, Marquardt is debuting in the UFC,
in the first fight of a standard three-fight contract. The winner
will be close to a title shot against Middleweight champion Rich
Franklin in the fall or in the New Year.
It
is possible that Matt Lindland will be the first fighter whom
Franklin defends his newly-won belt against, as Dana White has
promised Lindland a title shot and Lindland previously holds
a win over Salaverry some years ago (although most people watching
UFC now would likely have no recollection of that fight). Lindland
is fighting Joe Riggs at UFC 54, and a win there may put Lindland
over the top for a title match.
Other
fights on the card include Mike Swick vs. Keith Rockel, Koscheck
vs. Pete Spratt, Quarry vs. Pete Sell, Leben vs. Patrick Cote
and
Drew Fickett vs. Josh Neer in the only fight besides the main
event not featuring someone from The Ultimate Fighter series.
The Miletich-trained Neer is making his UFC debut on this card.
Rockel and Spratt are back in the fold after lengthy absences;
Cote and Fickett both lost their latest matches in the UFC octagon
and Pete Sell is coming off his upset win over Phil Baroni.
Ultimate
Fight Night Quick Picks:
Salaverry
vs. Marquardt. The winner of this fight will sit at the number
one or two spot on the Middleweight depth chart. Salaverry could
arguably be positioned in one of those two spots already. He's
won both his fights, against Tony Fryklund and Joe Riggs, since
returning to UFC but Marquardt will be his toughest challenge
yet. Salaverry is a talented submissions artist, and Ricardo
Almeida was recently able to submit Marquardt so it could happen.
It's also within reason that Marquardt could TKO Salaverry. However,
I think I have to go with Salaverry via decision, and outside
chance of a submission victory.
Stephan
Bonnar vs. Sam Hoger. Should be a heated match with a loud crowd,
as both of these guys are stars coming off The Ultimate Fighter.
My pick is Bonnar by submission.
Florian
vs. Karalexis. My pick is Florian by decision. The booking of
Florian and Bonnar against other Ultimate Fighter competitors
is interesting since they will probably be the two biggest draws
on this show since they went the farthest in season one without
winning.
Swick
vs. Rockel. Swick is a talented fighter who can strike, and Rockel
is well-rounded. Rockel's experience edge could flatline Swick's
chances for a victory.
Koscheck
vs. Spratt. Spratt is primarily a striker. I think it is likely
that Koscheck will take him down and control him on the ground
to win a dull decision.
Quarry
vs. Sell. Sell won't pull the upset here because Quarry is not
Phil Baroni. Quarry should win by TKO.
Leben
vs. Cote. This should be an interesting brawl between strikers.
Cote has a lot of power behind his punches, and should he get
one of those punches off in solid fashion, it could be lights
out for Leben.
Fickett vs. Neer. Anyone with the nickname "The Dentist"
is a man to be feared. Fickett has more experience and has submission
skills, and it will be an interesting fight but my pick is Neer
via TKO.

UFC
54 : Liddell vs Horn
Jeremy
Horn is at the top of too many top 10 lists to name and, in most
cases, he is ranked above the champions. He deserves the accolades
when you look back at his career. His record is an impressive
75 wins, 13 losses, and 5 draws and those 75 wins are over a
who’s who list in mixed martial arts. He beat Forrest Griffin
with a knockout via a kick in at the IFC’s Global Domination
stopping the new UFC superstar in round 2 of their fight. Horn
submitted a very talented David Louiseau at TKO 15 by guillotine
choke. One of the most impressive of his bouts was his fight
with Vernon Tiger White at King of the Cage 23 : Sin City. Horn
won that by decision and beat then champion White after three
rounds of fast and furious action. Despite having beaten some
of the best there is, Jeremy has always been a smallish 205 lber,
even losing some key fights to the likes of Babalu, Elvis Sinosic,
as well as Ricardo Arona and Randy Couture both in Rings.There
is no doubt that Horn is the real deal... but is he ready to
be champion? Chuck Liddell would like to have a say in that
I am sure.
“The
Iceman” Chuck Liddell is without a doubt one of the most
successful and dangerous strikers in the MMA game, and he has
a sprawl that is one of the sport’s best. Chuck also has
a very solid chin to boot. Just look at his fight with Vernon
White and you will see him get rocked and then come right back
and stagger White in return. He proves his worth in the cage
time-and-time-again as one of the sport’s best. Chuck’s
record is not as lengthy as Horn’s but it is certainly more
visible. Chuck has fought in Pride and the UFC 16 times out
of his 19 professional fights. Horn has fought in just 12 in
his 93 fights with a long layoff from the UFC and Pride, not
having competed at the highest levels of the sport since 2002
when he decisioned Gilbert Yvel. This doesn’t make Chuck
better necessarily but it for certainly makes him more visible
and more recognizable... not to mention his recent TV appearance
on SpikeTV's "The Ultimate Fighter" and winning the
UFC title from Couture in a very memorable performance. We know
how good he is at 205 because we see it every time he steps in
the ring.
One
thing Horn might have going against him is, as we said, the weight
issue. Many feel that he has been fighting out of his ideal
weight class of 185 lbs for much of his career. Moreover, a
good portion of his recent match-ups have been at 185. He is
stepping back up in weight to fight Chuck at UFC 54 so the questions
nags, with this work against him??? Don’t get me wrong,
he has shown his skills and they will be effective in any class.
He certainly can go at 205 lbs as he had so many times in the
past (namely that KO victory over Griffin, the Vernon White decision,
and the almost forgotten choke victory over Liddell himself in
1999). Chuck will have his hands full if this goes to the ground
like it did with his last title match with Randy. As for striking?
Horn can strike, too. He is not a knockout artist by any means
but he wears his opponents out with solid technique, and can
ground and pound with extreme prejudice... and did I mention
he has NEVER been knocked out?
The
main difference between Jeremy and Chuck, that will factor into
this fight is the "end game"that each fighter is bringing
into the cage. Chuck has KO’d his opponents in 75 percent
of his victories. Horn has finished about 75 percent of his
fights by submission. Horn will likely have the advantage if
he can take it to the mat, after mixing it up with some striking
to find the openning he needs for the takedown. As stated, Chuck's
sprawl is very effective so this will be a test for the Nebraska
native. Bottom-line, Chuck's end game will be at hand (or at
fist) virtually every moment of the fight (the big KO)... while
Jeremy needs to take utter control and get it to the ground so
he can bring his submissions skills to bear. Note: While Horn
has never been KO'ed, Liddell has never tapped, though he was
choked unconscious by Horn.
Also
of importance in this fight is the motivation of the opponents...
Chuck is on mission of revenge. He has already gotten revenge
with one of his three losses, and Horn will make it number 2.
If he beats Horn there is only one left : Quinton Jackson.
For Horn, this is the opportunity to cement his name as a UFC
mainstay. He has always been one of the best, but has never
acheived what so many of his teammates have, winning the UFC
title (as did Miletich, Hughes, Menne, Pulver, Sylvia). He has
alot to gain after a long absence from the UFC. This is why
for the first time in his career, he is training just for himself,
and not working with the whole team to get everyone ready for
their own respective fights.
If
you were to take a really good look at the nuances of this fight,
ignoring any likes and dislikes about either fighter, then we
can see that we are in for a real barn-burner - lots of back
story to build excitment, a good mix of styles, revenge, a renewed
opportunity, and an intriging "name brand (big TV push for
Liddell) v. generic label (absence of presence to the emerging
audience for Horn)" match-up... But what it comes down
to is, the winner of this match is the one that gets past all
the promotionsl hype and can impose his will and strategy the
best.

Vitor
" Shaolin" Ribeiro - Pride, SHOOTO and more
MaXfighting
caught up with the amazing Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro
after his successful Cage Rage 11 match in England, where the
Brazilian standout submitted respected American fighter Gerald
Strebendt with a guillotine choke. Shaolin gave comments on
the match:
"I was very well trained and very motivated for the fight.
It occurred like I planned. I didn't expect to win so quickly,
but I was well prepared and because of that I could capitalize
on the chance he gave to me."
The Brazilian didn't know his opponent, but knew some of his
abilities:
"I had never saw him fighting, but I knew that he liked
Jiu-Jitsu and had the same
game as Eddie Bravo. Because of that I felt well in the fight."
With 13 fights under his belt (12-1), this was the first time
that Shaolin had the opportuntiy to fight in the UK. But he
says it was a great experience:
"The show was good with good fights. Debut in England with
this victory was very good."
Before this fight, the Ribeiro had a fight two months earlier
in Hawaii, where he won against Tetsuji Kato. We wondered if
the proximity of the bouts had an affect the champions' preparation:
"I stopped one week after that fight [in Hawaii] and then
returned to train. There were very tough and good trainings,
because a lot of guys in the academy were also going to fight
in other events, but which makes me happy is that my boxing is
getting better each day."
The former SHOOTO champion, Vitor Shaolin lost his belt to Tatsuya
Kawajiri, a guy that he had already beat in another opportunity.
Now Vitor is anxiously awaiting the chance to finish the rubber
match and resolve things with his Japanese rival:
"I'm
supposed to fight in SHOOTO in August or September, don't know
against whom. Maybe in the end of the year I will have my dreamed
rematch, because now is 1-1 between us, and this is going to
be important to resolve and undisputed status of the belt between
us."
About
the lightweight GP that Pride may realize still this year, Shaolin
is expecting to fight, regardless of the fact that he was not
invited yet. Because of that, he continues to train hard, to
fight in the ring, and to help his teammates who will fight the
Jiu-Jitsu
Mundials in the end of the month:
"I saw my name floating around in the beginning of the year
for this GP, but until now I don't receive any contact from the
Pride representatives. But, I'm well trained and they can give
me an answer right before the event and I will be prepared. But
for a while I will train with the gi to help my friends in the
Jiu-Jitsu Mundials, along with the MMA trainings. After that
only God knows, because in August or September I will fight in
SHOOTO."

Exclusive
with Royler Gracie
By André Araújo / Team TATAME
Three
times ADCC Champion and 4x BJJ World champion, Royler Gracie
is the only Brazilian to move forward in The HEROS Middleweight
GP, which will feature its second phase of the tournament on
September 7, in Japan. On July 6, Gracie defeated Koji Yoshida
by referee's decision and now he has no idea who he will fight
next. According to him, in an exclusive interview provided here
to maXfighting.com, he says it does not matter who the opponent
is.
"I
will train hard and I'll face anyone", challenges the Gracie,
who will not do the expected bout with Alexandre Pequeno after
the SHOOTO lightweight champion was defeated via KO at the hands
of Hideo Tokoro. Read the full interview bellow.
maXfighting.com:
Tell me about your fight at Hero's. It seems it was very balanced:
Royler
Gracie: In fact it was really good, to be honest. But it wasn't
like I planned. However it does not matter doing a beautiful
fight if you lost in the end. The first round was very balanced,
Koji Yoshida and I studied each other a lot. On the second round
I was better. I clinched, put him down, fixed a triangle choke,
swept him, reached the mount and almost submitted him with a
katagatame. To be honest, I believe if the round had more 30
seconds we would tap out, once I applied a very tight rear naked
choke. I am pleased with the result and next week I'll return
to my train.
MF:
So, what are you expecting to this new phase of HEROS Middleweight
GP?
RG:
I often fight and it kills me. But I will fight this second phase
on September 7, and I don't know who I'm going to fight with.
I believe in the next 15 days they will release his name. But
I am not sure how things will work out. Once there were only
four fighters that won last July 6 and we would suppose to do
the finals. But I've heard the HEROS might invite other four
fighters to join us. It seems like they want Kid Yamamoto, Caol
Uno and Genki Sudo to join us.
MF:
What do you think about the other three semifinalists?
RG:
Well, I haven't seen all of the fights. I am sure the most technical
one was Tokoro, who defeated Alexandre Pequeno. I can tell you
that Miata improved his game a lot. He did a great bout, put
his opponent down and submitted with a rear naked choke. But
I
haven't see fighter from Lithuania's bout.
MF:
When you fought Kazuyuki Miyata at Rumble on the Rock, you said
he was a great fighter and if he had learn some Jiu-Jitsu, he
would kick some assess:
RG:
If Miyata took some BJJ lessons I don't know, but I can tell
you he did a great bout and has improved his game. If we meet
again, it will be a different fight from our last time. I will
do my best and I will train hard to defeat anyone.
MF:
What did you think about Pequeno's loss?
RG:
I spoke with Alexandre Pequeno after the fight and he said he
was a little tired after the fight. The spin punch applied by
Tokoro might be a lucky move, but I think referee should not
stop the fight. It was not a knock out. He suffered a knock down
and when he touched the ground, he raised his guard to defend.
In my opinion referee committed a mistake when interrupted the
fight. It's normal he is upset with the result. But in other
hands, he should be glad, because he traveled to Japan and gave
his best on the ring.
MF:
Now the expected fight between you and Pequeno will have to wait
a little longer:
RG:
Yes. Lots of people asked me what I was thinking about facing
Pequeno in HEROS. I told them I would have to win my fights and
he had to win his. I've done my part, and unfortunately he did
win his fight. It's a hard diagnosis to do before the first fight.
But who knows someday somebody matches a super-fight between
him and I? Who knows if Pride does not be interested...?

Big number of events will not allow André Pederneiras
to be at Hawaiian
BJ Penn's
corner, during his fight with Brazilian Renzo Gracie, at K-1
World GP. The show takes place on July 29 at Aloha Stadium, in
Hawaii. Besides his absence, Dedé believes BJ has great
chances to rock Renzo over. 'Today BJ is such an experienced
fighter. Both of them are excellent fighters and there are no
favorites. However, I believe BJ may have a little advantage,
because he has been fighting more," Pederneiras says.

Hawaii to Host K-1 Open-Air
Extravaganza
by Monty DiPietro
K-1 will make history this summer when, for the first time ever
outside Japan, the world's premier fightsport goes open-air with
K-1 World Grand Prix in Hawaii 05, set for July 29 at the Aloha
Stadium in Honolulu.
All
tournament and Superfight bouts will be contested under regular
K-1 rules with the exception of a special match featuring Hawaiian
wunderkind BJ
Penn and
Brazilian veteran Renzo Gracie, which will be conducted under
mixed martial arts rules. This fight has Hawaiian sports fans
hopping with anticipation, and follows on Penn's win in Honolulu
last November over Renzo’s cousin, Rodrigo Gracie, by unanimous
judges' decision.
The
Gracies of Brazil are mixed martial arts most revered family
-- their name is synonymous with Jiu-jitsu in Brazil, and so
Renzo will be looking for revenge. He has the pedigree, but Penn,
regarded as one of the world's finest young grapplers, will have
both youth and the hometown crowd on his side.
Penn
had this to say regarding the fight: "I don't care if we
stay on our feet or if we go to the mat. I am ready to do it
either way. Renzo Gracie is a fine fighter but he represents
the old school of Jiu-Jitsu. On the other hand, I represent the
new style, the next generation, and I want to prove that the
new style is superior!"
Another
Hawaiian will appear in the second Superfight (under K-1 rules).
The much-loved 'moke' Akebono is a big former Japanese Sumo Wrestling Yokozuna
(Grand Champion) and a living legend in his home state. Here
he will step in against another giant of a man, Hong-Man Choi
of South Korea. There will be a total of 380 kilograms or 840
pounds of warrior clashing in the ring during this battle of
the behemoths.
Choi
was the surprise winner at the K-1 Asian Grand Prix earlier this
year, and is currently the only undefeated fighter qualified
for the Osaka Final Elimination, having beaten none other than
Akebono along the way.
For
Akebono, the question is -- has the big guy found a way to harness
his incredible power and can he put a stop to Choi's streak?
Expect to hear the cheers all the way to Diamond Head if he does.
Said
Akebono: "I’m glad I get the chance to face him again.
Last time, his size didn't bother me, but because of his height
[Choi is 218cm or 7'2"] it was the first time I had to defend
against blows coming from above. Now I know how smaller fighters
feel! I'm in top condition this time and because the fight is
in Hawaii, I can't afford to lose, you know? That kind of pressure
makes it easier for me to train even harder!"
Of
course, Choi has a thing or two he wants to prove as well: "As
the Asian K-1 Champion and as a Korean, in Hawaii I want to show
the world that Asians are strong. I hope to use the experience
in Hawaii to prepare for the big match at the World GP Final
Elimination in Osaka."
In
other Superfight action, Rickard Nordstrand of Sweden will try
to build on a strong performance against Defending World GP Champion
Remy Bonjasky in Sweden earlier this year when he takes on Japanese
Seidokaikan fighter Musashi. This is a very interesting bout,
with Musashi now clearly ranked among K-1's elite, and Nordstrand
aware that an upset win here would reflect very favorably on
his future in K-1.
The
event will also incorporate the eight-man K-1 Intercontinental
GP Tournament, the last of the regular qualifying tournaments
for this year's World GP Final Elimination.
The
Final Elimination is set for Osaka this September. It will be
an eight-bout (one match) tournament, with the winners advancing
to the this year's Tokyo Dome Final. Already qualified for the
16 Osaka spots are the 2004 Final Eight -- Remy Bonjasky (Holland),
Mighty Mo (USA), Peter Aerts (Holland), Ernesto Hoost (Holland)
Francis Botha (South Africa), Ray Sefo (New Zealand), Musashi
(Japan) and Kaoklai Kaennorsing (Thailand).
Joining
these fighters will be Choi Hong Man (South Korea), who won the
Asia GP in Seoul this March; Glaube Feitosa (Brazil), who took
the US GP title in Las Vegas in April, Semmy Schilt (Holland),
victor at the European GP in Paris in May, and Bob Sapp (USA),
who won the Japan GP in June. Also going to Osaka is Jerome LeBanner
(France), winner over compatriot Cyril Abidi in a special qualifying
Superfight in Paris.
The
Champion in Honolulu will pick up the 14th of 16 spots at Osaka.
One more fighter will qualify when this year's runners-up do
battle at the last-chance Repechage Tournament at the Mirage
Hotel in Las Vegas this August, with the final spot being awarded
for exceptional fighting spirit on the year.
Fighting
in the Hawaiian World GP tournament will be K-1 stars such as
Gary Goodridge, Hiromi Amada and Carter Williams, as well as
local fighters such as Wesley "Cabbage" Correia and
Scott Junk.
K-1
World Grand Prix 2005 in Hawaii is set for July 29 with a July
30 rain date. It will be broadcast in Japan on the Fuji TV network;
and in North America on both InDemand and DirecTV at 9 PM Eastern
Daylight Time (18h00 Pacific Daylight Time) on Sunday July 31.
South Korean fans can tune into MBS ESPN for live coverage. There
will be delayed-broadcasts on Eurosport across Europe, Viasat
in Scandinavia, ITV in the UK and Astro in Malaysia. Check with

BREAKING
NEWS ASSUERIO OUT VS SYLVIA
MMAWeekly.com has had it confirmed from Tim Sylvia that Assuerio
Silva is out of their proposed fight for UFC 54 and that Sylvia
has verbally accepted to fight Tra Telligman.
It's
unknown if Telligman has signed to fight. Sylvia told MMAWeekly
on Saturday "The UFC called me on Wednesday and I guess
Assuerio tore some ligaments in his knee while training."
The
Brazilian fighter was looking forward to the fight but it's unknown
if the UFC will use him for a future show once the injury has
healed properly. As far as Sylvia's new opponent it looks to
be Tra Telligman.
"The
UFC contacted me to fight Tra and I said absolutely." Sylvia
told MMAWeekly. "I would love that fight because Tra loves
to stand and bang and so do I." Sylvia said. "The fans
would get a stand up war, there would be no takedowns, it would
be a classic match up."
Sylvia
has been training in Las Vegas and when asked with whom he's
been traning with he said "I can't say officially but you
can probably figure it out. I head to train Tuesday to Utah with
Jeremy Horn and crew."

“Ruthless”
Robbie Lawler Hunting
Falaniko Vitale’s Belt;
Super Brawl: ICON Complete Card & Press Conference Announced.
Honolulu,
HI July 15, 2005 – On Saturday, July 23rd at the Blaisdell
Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii, Super Brawl World Middleweight Champion
Falaniko Vitale will step into the ring for his first title defense
against Ultimate Fighting Championship (U.F.C.) veteran “Ruthless”
Robbie Lawler in the main event of Super Brawl: ICON. Vitale
won the belt from Masanori Suda with his amazing aerial knockout
punch at the April 9, 2005 event, Super Brawl: DESTINY. Lawler,
now 23 years old, came into the U.F.C. like a hurricane when
he was just 19. The south-paw gained instant fame by ending most
of his fights by KO or TKO. Lawler, who has put his multi-fight
U.F.C. contract in jeopardy by challenging Vitale, is confident
that he will take the Super Brawl Middleweight belt back to his
home in Bettendorf, Iowa.
“I
saw Niko Vitale’s knockout of (Masanori) Suda. It looked
good, but no one hits harder than I do. I’m not worried
about my U.F.C. contract because I am going to win. The (Super
Brawl) belt is mine and I’m taking it home with me.”
– “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler
Official
Super Brawl and Pride Fighting Championship (Japan) referee Yuji
Shimada will oversee the action.

Thales
Leites
By André Araújo
Thales
Leites, the best Storm FD fighter
One
of the new talents with Nova União is BJJ black belt Thales
Leites, who recently did the best fight on the Storm Samurai
card held on July 2nd at Nilson Nelson gymnasium, in Brasília
(DF). After defeating Gracie Barra Combat Team's Flávio
Moura at Vitória Extreme Fighting in May of 2004, the
Nova União fighter did another fight, against experienced
fighter Gustavo Ximú. 'It was my hardest bout ever!' Thales
said. After defending an ankle-lock applied by Ximú, Thales
applied two katagatame attempts, and the last one was fatal.
He submitted Ximú at 2:10 of the third round, and now
he wonders what comes next. 'I hope this victory over Ximu helps
me with my career. In spite of Storm being one of the main events
in Brazil, I hope to fight at bigger events abroad. Now I am
on my way to Hawaii, in August', he said. Read the full interview
below:
Tell
me about your strategy to defeat Gustavo Ximú...
I
did my best on the feet to make the distance between him and
I shorter. When we went to the ropes, I put him down. My idea
was not exchanging punches with him, since it was probably his
strategy. During the second round, I applied a katagatame, but
it wasn't good and he escaped. But in the third round, I fell
down on the bottom and reversed. Then I passed his guard and
submitted him with another katagatame. Ximú was my toughest
opponent and it was my hardest bout ever!
You've
had a hard time with then ankle-lock... didn't you?
When
I was trying to pass his guard, he caught me with an ankle-lock.
Despite the fact his corners complained a lot, I didn't run away
from the position. Everybody knows the only way to defend this
submission is spinning over the body. I did it and ended falling
from the ring.
What
did you feel about fighting without André Pederneiras
in your corner?
He
was in London with Vitor Shaolin... It's always good when he
is around. He has been always present at all of my bouts. To
be honest he was with me all the time I have been training and
this is important. Dedé was even more nervous than me.
He even called us from England several times to know the results.
The guys that stayed with me on the corner were great. They supported
me and gave important tips. Having João Roque, Rodrigo
Riscado and Danilo Sherman in my corner gave me confidence.
After
defeating Ximú, who is an experienced fighter, what do
you expect to the future?
I
hope this victory over Ximu helps me with my career. In spite
of Storm be one of the main events in Brazil, I hope to fight
at bigger events abroad. Now I am on my way to Hawaii, in August. I will train with BJ Penn.
Talking
about BJ, what do you think it's going to happen at his battle
with Renzo Gracie?
It's
hard to say, but I think BJ wins. BJ is such a tough guy and
it's very hard to put him down. I am going to help him with this
bout.
And
about Gi competitions?
Are
you going to fight at BJJ World Cup, which takes place on July
24?
I want to dedicate myself to Vale-Tudo... I didn't fight any
gi competition. But I am excited to fight at the BJJ World Cup.
I just need to evaluate and sharpen my 'pegada' (BJJ catching).
Because it is very different from Vale-Tudo.
And
about BJJ Confederation Worlds?
I
don't have plans to fight in it. I think that cash prizes are
important to professional athletes. That's the reason I do not
fight. About Submission events, I might even fight, because I
train submission when I have some Vale-Tudo event in mind.

Fedor
Emelianenko Interview
Below is an interview Fedor Emelianenko recently did for the
PRIDE website. Here's what Fedor had to say:
PRIDE:
How do you feel since you had the signing ceremony on June 27th?
Fedor:
I don't feel anything special. I will just do my best from now
to prepare for my fight with Mirko.
PRIDE:
Did you speak to Mirko?
Fedor:
There wasn't much time so we didn't speak much. I think we have
a good relationship. We were laughing with our eyes. (laughing)
PRIDE:
Two years have passed since your first opportunity to fight each
other. Who do you think has benefited the most during these two
years?
Fedor:
The last two years for me have been tough. I've been injured
and the recovery was prolonged. Both Mirko and I have grown in
these two years, and I think we have both become stronger. I
feel that I've become stronger from doing a lot of different
training, and I think Mirko is the same.
PRIDE:
Conversely, what has been good about this two year delay?
Fedor:
The fight will be more exciting.
PRIDE:
You went to Holland many times. Was that because you will fight
Mirko?
Fedor:
Yes. I'm always thinking about Mirko. I'm going to Holland again
soon.
PRIDE:
Is Mirko's best weapon his left high kick?
Fedor:
If I had to say one that is the best, it would be his left high
kick because he's beaten most of his opponents with it.
PRIDE:
Magomedov lost to him recently by middle kick because he was
so cautious about the high kick.
Fedor:
Everyone knows that Mirko has a good left high kick, and he used
that to his advantage. I think he used his best weapon well.
PRIDE:
Are you confident that he won't be able to use it against you?
Fedor:
I've been thinking of many ways to defend against his left high
kick.
PRIDE:
Do you think that Mirko is more dangerous than anyone else you've
fought before?
Fedor:
Mirko is very different than everyone else I've fought, but I
don't think he's dangerous.
PRIDE:
For example, although their styles are completely different,
do you think Mirko or Nogueira is more dangerous?
Fedor:
I've fought Nogueira three times and he's a tough opponent. You
always have to be extremely careful with him. I've never fought
Mirko so I don't know.
PRIDE:
Your brother, Alexander, lost to Mirko. Do you want to get revenge
for that?
Fedor:
He told me what he learned there but I can not say it here.
PRIDE:
Will this fight with Mirko have an important meaning in your
career?
Fedor:
Of course, I think this will be a big point in my career.
PRIDE:
You've said that you would train in the mountains for your fight
with Mirko. What kind of benefit does that have?
Fedor:
It's not much different than regular training. I train outdoors
and if the weather's bad, I go to the gym and weight train.
PRIDE:
Kharitonov said that he trains naked in the snow. Do you do that
kind of thing?
Fedor:
You probably won't believe it but I swim in the summer and in
winter. There's a spring near my home. Even in the summer, the
water temperature is about 0. I go swimming a lot. It's really
healthy. (laughing)

Kickin'
It 2005 Part III Results!
Kickin It 2005 Part III
Dole Cannery Ballroom, Honolulu, Hawaii
July 15, 2005
By Chris Onzuka - Chris@Onzuka.com
The
premier kickboxing event returns to action in the plush Dole
Cannery Ballroom, which is a great intimate venue for fighting
events. Almost every kickboxing school was represented as 32
fighters went head to head and fist to fist all night long. The
sheer number of fights that went to a decision was a testament
of the even match ups. Peter Mastell and Dale Kamai went to war
for three rounds ending up in a fight that was so tough to call
that even the judges had it even. Kickin It also featured the
next generation of kickboxers, one fighter to keep your eye on
was HMC's Justly Laqhuion, who rattled off his fists like a machine
gun that was fully loaded. Another fighter that showed off the
sweet science was Red Davis' slipping and moving. Davis won a
unanimous decision over Labrador, but it was a closer fight than
the score cards stated.
After
Nick Tiqui dominated the first two rounds, Scott Chong came on
strong in the third round, but it was too little, too late, but
made for a great conclusion to the fight. Also on the card was
MMA fighter and Jesus Is Lord trainer Bob-O Ostovich, who is
trying to keep active by taking on a kickboxing bout. Andre Washington
started off strong, hard kicks, but. As Ostovich shook off the
ring rust and started finding his range and targets as Washington
was sent to the canvas three | |
