Congratulations on making it into the top 8.
I'm very happy. I'd like to thank everyone.
It's been a while since your last Final. How do you feel?
I was able to fight an extra round and I was able to use my techniques.
And your thoughts about the fight?
It wasn't an easy fight, but not a hard fight either. There were downs and I'm glad I won.
When you knocked him down, did you think you had won?
I didn't realize it was a down. You never know what will happen until the end of the fight.
Why haven't you been able to do as well as you wanted in K-1?
I took a low blow in my last fight and it really hurt me, but this time I was to use my techniques.
How was your opponent?
He is about as good as me. But we really had a battle of power.
Looks like your overhook punch has improved. Did you do any special training?
My coach and trainer did all the hard work.
The drawing is tomorrow. Who do you want to fight?
It's up to luck.
Having a striking battle is your style, but how is your damage?
I'm fine. I have a great team and trainer and they make me train hard.
Has anyone ever said you look like Vanderlay Silva?
He's my brother (laughs).
It was a great fight. Why was it so great?
The Korean fans' support made it so.
