Q: How do you feel 2 days out from your fight?
A: I feel good.
Q: Now you’ve dropped a weight class, could you tell us the reason?
A: I thought I would drop down and see how I do. Last time I fought I was 68kg after breakfast for Aoki.
I thought I am naturally between weights, so I would see how I do.
Q: Was it hard cutting weight?
A: No. I just started eating half meals. Instead of 2 slices of bread for breakfast, I would have 1.I cut sweets a few weeks ago and increased fiber and protein. I just avoided carbs.
Q: You were a top fighter in your class, and now you’ve dropped down how do you think the other fighters will feel about you?
A: Most of them are dropping a few kgs too, so it isn’t like I will be much bigger. It isn’t like I am dropping from 80kg. It is just 6kg.
Q: What is your impression of your opponent?
A: He looks good. He has good jujitsu, strong punches and kicks.
Q: How will you defeat him.
A: Knock him out or submit him.
Q: When did you arrive in Japan?
A: I landed here on the 13th. Drinking and smoking. Oh, I mean, training hard with Darren.
Q: Did you go to Mach’s dojo?Why did you go there?
When Rocky is fighting Drago he goes to the mountains, not downtown. I like Mach and his family, so I went there.
Q: We have a strong image of you at 70kg, so can we not think of you fighting Kawajiri or Aoi again?
A: Time will tell.
