Minotauro após a luta

thegrappling — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:59:01 +0000

At the post-fight press conference, the president of the UFC left the Brazilian’s next step up in the air, but, for the time being, his work is done. Check out some of what Minotauro had to say after his important win.

“I just want to thank everyone who worked with me and Randy, a legend of the sport. I’ve wanted to fight him for years; that was always my dream. Dana White gave me this chance.”

“He said he was ready to face me anywhere. My last fight was the worst of my life, I was injured, I went to the hospital. Now I was hungry. I used my Jiu-Jitsu, tried an arm triangle, but this time my boxing skills worked and I knocked him down twice.

“I tried my best, but Randy has great technique and escaped (from the arm triangle). I had a bit of Vaseline on my gloves, from my face and he escaped.”

“I knew it would be hard to fight someone where they are from, because of the home crowd. I was really focused for Randy, really concentrated on this fight and just did my job.”

“Of course this was one of the most important in my life. It was not a title dispute, but a fight against one of y idols, a legend of the sport. I watched Randy fight Vitor Belfort and Pedro Rizzo, two heroes of the sport, so to me it was the most important of my career.”

“When people say you can’t do it any more, you have to go back and prove you are still in the game and put on a great fight. That’s what I did. I worked hard, I’d never trained as much as I did for this one. I have a lot of respect for Randy, so I trained a lot.”

“Before my last fight I was in the hospital for seven days and also had a problem with my meniscus, I had surgery after the fight. I wasn’t well, but I didn’t run from the fight.”
