Q:Tell us about the fight.
This was my first K-1 match and my first fight in Japan. I lost, but I did my best and what happened, happened.
But Alistair used two knee kicks in a row from the clinch like he did in the Texeira bout.
That's a foul so I think he should be strictly penalized.
They said at the rules meeting that they are working on improving the rules and I hope they do soon.
For this fight, I hope they penalize Alistair.
Q:What was your impression of him?
Well, like I just mentioned, I think he should understand and fight by the rules.
Other than that, he's a great fighter and I'm glad I got to fight him in my debut bout. He's an amazing opponent.
Q:What are your plans from now and when will you be back in K-1?
My next fight is in the Netherlands against Rico Verhoeven who has also been in K-1.
I might have a fight in Japan in September, but I don't know what kind of offer I'll get.
This fight ended quickly and I wasn't able to do much.
Next time I want to use my techniques so that everyone can see what I can do.
I'm not afraid to fight anybody who'll face me.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in Japan agaIn soon.
