Interview with Royler, talks about eddie and other adcc fights
This was on Tatame in Portuguese. I used google translator so it's a little screwy. :D
How is the expectation for a rematch with Eddie Bravo?
I will train hard, you can be sure I'll be well prepared. Do not go into any fight to make ugly, my conditioning and my training is good and I have a good track record in the championships. Although no longer in the circuit, if I want to go back, I'll have to come back well. Lightning does not strike twice in the same place and he does not kill the horse twice ... The leather will eat.
What are you going to do differently in this fight against another?
I'll try to get the most possible way in, and I think he should be doing the same thing I hope this ... I want to make a fight with caution, pay more attention and do not give bobeada I gave in another confrontation, where one minute of distraction caused my defeat. This kind of thing can not happen in my work and I paid the price. I have nothing else to pay, have paid what I had to pay. Now it's just joy, only income and I will run to hug, they can be sure.
There is an extra spice because it is a rematch?
It's funny to talk of revenge, because I was never worried about revenge, it was he who came to offer me a rematch, it seems that it was he who lost the fight. He won, but returned to play the third and fourth place in the event, and I came back, I got the third place and he has not won anything. The great victory it was gaining on me, that was his great merit, which until now reaps the rewards of that victory. Now the story will be different and I'm not no little worried about what happened in the past, I am worried what will I do now.
You think that because he was only eight years by giving focus on no gi jiu-jitsu, maybe he can take advantage of you?
Jiu-Jitsu Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, man. The first time I fought in Abu Dhabi, I took a week before the kimono in the second year I took a month before the third year two months before, and I think that there will not surprise me. I'm used to this kind of competition and have time to make adjustments, this is no problem. The guy who trains without kimono is more slippery, but the guy who trains with gi has more features, is much more complete. When one takes the kimono is clear that the level decreases, but the technique remains the same and this time I'll train for longer without kimono.
Did you expect such an invitation?
I always thought that sooner or later it would happen, we're a long time without a fight and he has been chalking up this and doing this fuss to make a new fight with me for a long time, which is a good thing for us and for the sport. We still could not appreciate a place that was this fight and nothing better than Abu Dhabi, which is where the confrontation took eight years. This invitation came with Renzo, he called me yesterday, said he was with Sheik Tahnoon and asked if I accepted the fight with Eddie Bravo, and I said I wanted at the time. I asked if it would be an MMA or a sport? He said it was sports, and I accepted right away.
And what do you expect from this confrontation between Renzo and Ze Mario Sperry also confirmed for the event?
It is good that Ze Mario is in shape because the Renzo's "Bulldozer", has been training no gi and is also heavier. It'll be a nice comparison of the Renzo with Ze Mario, so with my with Eddie Bravo. I hope all four are shaped to provide excellent performance.
Runs the risk of veterans steal the scene of the great fight with Jacare Braulio Estima (laughs).
No, man, I think not. The guys are gold level, are younger and are in a very good physical strength as well, every fight has its attractive and all the fights will add positively to an event. Do not want to overshadow anyone, and I think they feel the same way. Looks like they threw a bomb exploded on the internet and everything to hand, funny, huh? Royler is a long time without fighting, while Renzo has fought sporadically, people want to see us fight for the story we did in the sport.
This turn can ignite the flame of competition and make you re thinking about doing more fighting Jiu-Jitsu, Submission and MMA?
My concern now is not that but to make this event, I present well and return to the circuit for a while because I'm not competing. I have not lost focus, I'm training my ass off, I run and I spotted my daily, but go back to the adult circuit training is a tricky thing, because I'm at an age that is no longer the same thing and I have other ideals in my life .
What do you expect the fight between Braulio and Gator?
It will be a tough fight like hell, the two guys who are the horn, the Alligator is devoted more to the MMA, but that does not mean anything. I think he'll come over Braulio's going to be a good fight. Braulio is the tough guy and is always trained, has a very good physical stamina, both are holders of several titles, I have a favorite, I'll be there to attend the event and the best will win, it'll be a great spectacle for the public.
