Josuel Distak is having double shifts on X-Gym. Waiting for Anderson Silva’s comeback to trainings, Distak talked to TATAME about his expectations for the fight against the champion Chael Sonnen. Until the fight is settled, the man (Sonnen) can say whatever he wants, saying doesn’t change things... I don’t see Chael Sonnen as a dangerous fighter”, said the trainer, who talked about the preparations of athletes such as Ronaldo Jacaré, Paulão Filho and Rafael Feijão for their next challenges on the US.
Has Anderson returned to the trainings yet?
Anderson is off, helping out here and soon he’ll come back to trainings. He’ll spend time in Thailand and then back to hard training. Until the fight is settled, the man (Sonnen) can say whatever he wants, but when is signed, we’ll make a work strategy to combat him.
Sonnen says bad things about Anderson for a long time...
We don’t have anything to say about him, he can say whatever he wants... Paulão was going through a lot of problems when he fought Sonnen (on WEC) and everyone could say so during the fight, but I don’t see Chael Sonnen as a dangerous fighter.
How are the trainings of Ronaldo Jacaré for his fight against Joey Villasenor?
We’re doing the last training part, working hard. Our goal is the belt; we have to take advantage now that the champion is leaving, in negotiation with UFC, and go for it. We’ll do our best, it’s important. Jacaré is a really strong guy in this Strikeforce’s category; it’s all depending on this fight because we aspire to fight for the belt. Strikeforce needs a big name and it is Ronaldo Jacaré.
Are you coaching Paulo Filho for his Hector Lombard’s fight on Bellator?
Paulão is training with Master Oswasldo at Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so that he can improve his Jiu-Jitsu, and he trains with me on Thuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Paulão will go back being what he was. He’ll be where he belongs.
What do you think about Lombard, who didn’t lose any of his last 18 fights?
He’s a tough guy, but Paulão likes challenges. It’s an important debut fight, to make a good comeback. He has to be prepared, because Paulão is. If it’s God’s will, everything will be ok, Paulão deserves this victory.
And Feijão, how is he for the fight against Antwain Britt?
Feijão needs a good fight, because (Gerard) Mousasi lost his majesty, do it’s depending on this fight. If Feijão does a good fight, with incisiveness, he’ll be the next to try to reach the belt.
What do you know about Britt?
He’s got a really heavy hand, but Feijão is working really hard, Anderson has been giving a lot of support during the trainings so that he can go there strong for the exchange. We wish that Feijão does the right game and bring Britt to the ground, which is Feijão’s comfort area.
Did André Galvão come back to the trainings?
He’s coming back to the trainings today. We’ll wait the Strikeforce to announce his next fight. It’s not an excuse, but he was injured for his fight, had a serious problem of fall of immunity, but has recovered and fought well. He deserves a fight for the belt, and if it’s God wish, we’ll conquer André’s category as well as Jacaré’s and Feijão’s. We will rule Strikeforce, if God helps us.

Apesar das recentes críticas, Dana White colocará Anderson Silva como a grande atração do UFC 117, evento programado para o dia 7 de agosto na Califórnia. “Ele é o campeão, mas espero que aquilo nunca mais aconteça”, disse Dana, relembrando a polêmica luta entre Anderson e Demian Maia, no UFC 112. O adversário do campeão será o americano Chael Sonnen, que vem de vitória sobre Nate Marquardt. “O Chael Sonnen é um grande campeão, um cara duro, já fez lutas com grandes lutadores brasileiros e agora é só se focar”, disse Anderson à TATAME (confira a entrevista na íntegra clicando aqui).
