“That’s what exactly what I didn’t have yet... It’s like a dream, that it isn’t happening... I proved that worth to train hard, it made me win this marathon... It’s like everybody says, the training is the worst part, I was lazy to train, but before the BJJ World Championship I trained hard, dedicated a lot on discipline... It’s to train hard to fight easier“, the black belt celebrated, and talked about the submissions over André Galvão and Marcelinho Garcia, and the triangle choke on Xande Ribeiro.

“I trained a lot and I had some strong positions... Before the first fight I was extremely nervous, but then you get the rhythm“. He also talked about his will to fight weight and absolute on 2011, besides making the super fight against Ronaldo Jacaré Souza. “I want to fight. I don’t want to come here to fight just one more time, I love it all, and it’s not for the money... I come here for the vibration, to fight, to be on top, to be between the bests is what satisfies me“.
