He was strong back then. His punch...
Time to move on.
He's been here for a while now.
It's about time to get rid of him.
If someone doesn't take him out, they'll keep using him and that'll be boring.
Time to move ahead.
I'm the one to usher in the new age.
MAX Japan tournament
2nd place in Japan tourney debut
Kraus is the first step in taking on the world.
When I heard, I was like, “Are you serious? Kraus?”
(in Japanese) Hello, everyone!
I'm feeling great!
I want to be number one!
Youth and confidence even against one of MAX's greatest legends
He's not even a world contender.
He's a top 8 fighter and that's it.
There's a reason for the bravado
It's not a difficult thing to get. I was told to just believe in myself.
When someone tells me that, I believe it and I pump myself up for the fight.
Believing in yourself makes you stronger.
I have all kinds of strategy advice I could give...
… but it's more important that he believes...
… and that we believe that he can do it.
It's the power of belief.
We work in strategy during practice and I watch the videos every day.
I picture myself beating him every day so that it's become a real possibility.
Believing in someone
can change the world.
Nakajima holds the future of K-1 in his hands.
If I don't beat him, we'll still have the same fighters around.
The fans must be sick of it.
When I beat him, they'll see me as the Japanese fighter who can take on the world.
Nakajima fights for those who want to believe.
I want to grab this opportunity and win big.
Q: You don't think you have a chance of losing?
Not at all.
