Could you set the story straight about your altercation with Tito Ortiz after the UFC’s Brawl at the Hall show in England?
I got over this so many times and it feels for me like I am at the police station for questioning
Is there any truth to the accusations that you attacked Tito to build a name for yourself, or to attempt to further your career?
NO, he attacked me and I gave a reaction
Congratulations on your recent win in London, were you pleased with your performance?
Yeah, It was good
Do you think this win should put you in the top 10 in your weight class?
That is not for me to decide. The fans and the promoters may decide.
Do you think you are able to compete with the top-level competition in either Pride or UFC?
Yeah, without a doubt. No problem. I give any fighter a hard time.
Who would you like to fight from either of those organizations?
I don’t mind. As long as I may compete at top level
Have you heard the challenge made to you by Tito Ortiz, and will you accept a fight with him?
That is a job for my management to sort it out
What is your training currently like, and whom do you train with?
I train at London Shoot for my wrestling, Terry Coulter is my boxing coach and I travel to Holland to train with Remco Pardoel or to the USA to train at the Miletich camp.
Are you going to take any new directions in your training, maybe concentrate more on your ground game?
Got to work on wrestling and take down defense. I am going to train with Olympic wrestlers as preparation.
What is your plan for your future in or out of MMA?
Get to the top!!!
Thank you very much for answering these questions. I hope it was as fun as possible. I wish you well and I hope we can speak again in the future.
