63. 14:46It's a sport. It's a sport.
64. 15:02Hello.
65. 15:03>> Hello.
66. 15:04>> So, uh, I obviously have no idea what my
67. 15:07French colleagues were talking about, so
68. 15:08I will ask you a couple of questions in
69. 15:10English. Um, first of all, is it
70. 15:13personal between you and
71. 15:29personal. It's much more than personal.
72. 15:33>> Okay. Um Kaio said to all of people here
73. 15:38that he is very surprised that they are
74. 15:41cheering for you because you are
75. 15:43Russian, not a French. Uh how do you
76. 15:46feel personal? Do you feel more as a
77. 15:48Russian citizen or a French citizen?
78. 16:00Okay.
79. 16:12Fore
80. 16:21speech.
81. 16:49First of all, we know we all know it's a
82. 16:51lie. Um, it's not surprised that the
83. 16:53French people are behind me because they
84. 16:55always been behind me. You will see it
85. 16:57at the weigh in. You will see it during
86. 16:59the fight. So there is no surprise here
87. 17:01just a lie as usual. And second of all
88. 17:04uh I represent France at the highest
89. 17:06level but my blood is dagstani is
90. 17:09Russian and uh that's what I represent
91. 17:11too.
92. 17:12>> Okay last one from me. What kind of a
93. 17:14statement do you need to do this
94. 17:16Saturday so Dana White could say okay
95. 17:19not Hernandez or Rard but Imav will
96. 17:23fight with Hamz next.
97. 17:47I need to win. Uh first of all, I think
98. 17:49I already done enough to prove myself
99. 17:52and to put myself in this position. But
100. 17:54of course, uh, I'm looking for a finish
101. 17:57as usual.
102. 17:58>> Next question.
103. 18:25Merci.
104. 18:27>> Hello.
105. 18:28>> Hey, just the first one here. CO. It
106. 18:30seems that you had the mind games and
107. 18:33the trash talk as an assets like on the
108. 18:35same level as striking and and wrestling
109. 18:39to face Nasodin. Um, are you not afraid
110. 18:41that maybe he improve himself on this
111. 18:45level too like the self-control and all
112. 18:47this stuff and that's not something like
113. 18:50dangerous for you to do this kind of
114. 18:52trash talk in front of a crowd who will
115. 18:55be against you and stuff like this? Like
116. 18:58>> what the are you saying, bro?
117. 19:00>> I I
118. 19:01>> like uh so you're saying that he's not
119. 19:04strong enough on trash talk is that he
120. 19:07now maybe develop himself a little bit
121. 19:09more? No, I see that I think that for
122. 19:11you and your team like this mind games
123. 19:14and this trash talk is part of the game
124. 19:17plan and I just want to know if you're
125. 19:20sure that he doesn't make improvement on
126. 19:22this level too and he will have safe
127. 19:24control and stuff like this or it's just
128. 19:26a way for you to promote yourself.
129. 19:28>> Yeah. Yeah. No, exactly what I'm saying.
130. 19:30You're saying that he wasn't good enough
131. 19:31on on trash talk and now he improve
132. 19:34himself and if I'm afraid of he improve
133. 19:36himself a little bit more. That's what
134. 19:38I'm saying. I asked
135. 19:39>> I think like to be honest with you this
136. 19:42is just fight promotion. We need to make
137. 19:45this entertaining to people to see this
138. 19:47fight and that's what we did. Uh before
139. 19:51Nasudin nobody didn't even talk about
140. 19:54him. He wasn't a guy that was talking
141. 19:56too much on social media. He he didn't
142. 19:58have any kind of communication or
143. 20:01anything like that. And I think he need
144. 20:03to thank me because I made him do that.
145. 20:05You know what I mean? So uh in the
146. 20:08matter of trash talk I think we didn't
147. 20:10like dis disrespect users dis disrespect
148. 20:13ourselves in any moment but the trash
149. 20:15talk is just part of the business you
150. 20:17know it's just part of the show I think
151. 20:19we wanted to to to make this fight even
152. 20:22more entertaining that will be and uh
153. 20:24people now want to see this fight so
154. 20:26much and I think our job is done and
155. 20:29right now no more trash talk no more
156. 20:32talks no more kidding nothing it's just
157. 20:35me and him on the cage try to kill each
158. 20:37other and the best man wins.
159. 20:39>> Two quick two quick question. Um does
160. 20:43how do you feel with the quick wake like
161. 20:46the wake up you does like one month ago
162. 20:48and then have you a precise prediction
163. 20:50of how the fight can can finish?
164. 20:54>> Bro, I'm feeling very good. I was eating
165. 20:55a lot of salmon right now outside here.
166. 20:58I think I ate like four or five pizzas.
167. 21:00Did you Did you guys taste the salmon
168. 21:01over here? Bro, it's so good. It's so
169. 21:05good. I already had breakfast. Now I had
170. 21:07salmon. In like 1 hour and a half, I'll
171. 21:10have my lunch with some rice and a good
172. 21:13steak cuz I just with steak. And uh
173. 21:16you know, I'm not worried about it
174. 21:19because
175. 21:21I I have a professional team behind me.
176. 21:23You know, I have a phenomenal team that
177. 21:26is working a lot with me. I'm very
178. 21:28disciplined with everything. So when I
179. 21:30heard that I needed to be the backup, I
180. 21:33just we we did a plan and then I
181. 21:35followed that plan. You know, I
182. 21:37maintained my weight very low. I did
183. 21:39everything. Actually, my weight cut in
184. 21:42Chicago was the smoothest and the best
185. 21:44weight cut of my career. And I think
186. 21:47this one will be better. So not worry. I
187. 21:50think uh this is not going to affect my
188. 21:53performance anyway. If you guys are
189. 21:54worried about that and if anything get
190. 21:58out of my plan and I lose this fight I
191. 22:01will never say it was because of the
192. 22:03wake up you know it was just because
193. 22:05Nasadine was better than me in the night
194. 22:07but I don't think they will happen
195. 22:09>> and just the prediction of the fight
196. 22:11>> the prediction fourth round finish
197. 22:13>> thank you very much ko hello anes jama
198. 22:17welcome in Paris among the four
199. 22:19contenders you seem to be viewed at at
200. 22:22the least legitimate according ing the
201. 22:24polls and the media analysis. How do you
202. 22:26plan to change that on Saturday?
203. 22:28>> You say what? I'm the least legitimate.
204. 22:31>> Yeah, maybe the third because you you
205. 22:33need this uh top three, top four win.
206. 22:37>> Oh, you're saying be behind the four
207. 22:38contenders
208. 22:40and
209. 22:41>> I'm the least legitimate. It it seems
210. 22:43like that when we see the polls and the
211. 22:45and the major analysis,
212. 22:49>> bro, I'm nine and0 in the UFC,
213. 22:51undefeated, 10 years undefeated, 16 win
214. 22:55streak. I just got a lot of highlevel
215. 22:57guys in the beginning of my career. I
216. 23:00wasn't as a prospect that getting like
217. 23:02guys with losing streak or guys that are
218. 23:04almost getting out of the UFC. So I just
219. 23:07think you you cannot trust on that news
220. 23:10you know but uh in the other ways I won
221. 23:14a top five when I won from Canonia he
222. 23:16was a top five and then I became a top
223. 23:18five not the division shake a lot and
224. 23:21I'm top seven but doesn't care on
225. 23:23Saturday after after that maybe on
226. 23:26Tuesday my name will be on number two
227. 23:28because I'm beating my
228. 23:30>> and what's the plan to be the one who
229. 23:33the UFC going to going to choose to to
230. 23:35finish the plan.
231. 23:36>> Yeah,
232. 23:37>> you just go there, dominate Nasodine as
233. 23:39I always do with all my opponents. Go in
234. 23:41there, dominate, maybe a good finish,
235. 23:45and I'm the next one.
236. 23:46>> Perfect. Thank you.
237. 23:47>> You're welcome.
238. 23:51>> Ko, last day you did an interview where
239. 23:54you said that nothing was personal.
240. 23:56Nasin did the exact same thing, but he
241. 23:58said that this was personal for him. Um,
242. 24:01how do you feel about that? And do you
243. 24:03think it's an advantage for you or a
244. 24:05disadvantage?
245. 24:06>> No, I don't think nothing. I think
246. 24:08Nasudin is a very experienced guy. He
247. 24:10wants to play mind games. I'm playing my
248. 24:12mind games, too. And in the end of the
249. 24:15day, it's just business, you know. We
250. 24:17There's nothing more to talk. I heard an
251. 24:19interview that he was saying like, "Oh,
252. 24:21I might shake his hand. I might headbutt
253. 24:23him." Like, I don't care. we
254. 24:27how I I want to headbutt someone if on
255. 24:31Saturday I'm gonna put my hands on him,
256. 24:32you know? So, I don't care anymore.
257. 24:35Right now, I'm already here in Paris. He
258. 24:37tried to get away from this fight for so
259. 24:39long. We were supposed to fight
260. 24:40international fight week in June. I
261. 24:42don't know if you guys know that, but he
262. 24:44said no to this fight. And now the UFC
263. 24:47make make him accept this fight. He had
264. 24:51no options to accept, you know. So, I'm
265. 24:54here. I'm in his his hometown hometown
266. 24:58and I'm coming, you know, I'm already
267. 25:01here. We're gonna lock ourselves in the
268. 25:03cage and try to kill each other and
269. 25:04that's it.
270. 25:06>> Thank you.
271. 25:07Hey, Ko, you're training this week at
272. 25:10the MMA factory, the former gym of
273. 25:12Nasarin Mav. How did that come about?
274. 25:14>> Actually, it was kind of a coincidence,
275. 25:16you know? Wasn't like it wasn't on
276. 25:18purpose, but there's a little bit of
277. 25:20purpose, you know what I mean? But I'll
278. 25:22be honest with you, like there's a guy
279. 25:24on his gym that is from my hometown in
280. 25:26Brazil, S. Luis Maron. He's from the
281. 25:29same hometown. And he wanted for so
282. 25:32long, I think two years ago, to train in
283. 25:34fighting nerds. So then, coincidentally,
284. 25:38he came to train fighting I think like
285. 25:41three months ago or two months ago,
286. 25:43something like that. He went there, we
287. 25:45became very good uh uh friends, and then
288. 25:48when I came here, he offered me the
289. 25:50space to train there. So I just came in
290. 25:52and trained that not nothing much, you
291. 25:54know what I mean? Like doesn't mean
292. 25:57anything, you know, like but if you want
293. 25:59to if you guys want to see that way, if
294. 26:01Nas didn't want to see that way, I don't
295. 26:03care too. And last one for me, it's it
296. 26:06seems of course that his biggest asset
297. 26:08is the striking. Is it something that
298. 26:10you want to prove? Of course, you're not
299. 26:12going to give away your game plan, but
300. 26:13is it something that you want to prove
301. 26:14that you can strike with him also so
302. 26:16that you're ready for anyone? How do you
303. 26:18view this fight? um this fight going to
304. 26:20prove how smart and versatile I am, you
305. 26:24know? Like every time I fight, there's
306. 26:27no emotions. There's no ego. There's no
307. 26:30point to prove, you know what I mean?
308. 26:32Like I think the ego is what makes you
309. 26:35fall. So for sure, I'm not taking away
310. 26:38anything from Nasudin. He's a phenomenal
311. 26:40striker, very fast, young, very good
312. 26:44athlete, and I respect him for that. And
313. 26:47I'm I'm I'm not taking away anything of
314. 26:50that. So, I'm ready to go there, put on
315. 26:52a show, do whatever I can to perform and
316. 26:55dominate him. And I'm going to show how
317. 26:58versatile I am. I'm going to show you
318. 27:00guys MMA. You know what I mean? So, you
319. 27:03guys going to see me strike. You guys
320. 27:05going to see me taking him down. You
321. 27:07guys going to see my jiu-jitsu. You
322. 27:08guys, you guys going to see everything.
323. 27:10I'm just gonna prove that I'm better
324. 27:12than him. No, I'm better striker because
325. 27:13it's not a striking match. Ka right
326. 27:16here. Hello. First of all, you just said
327. 27:18that ego is what makes you fall. Can you
328. 27:21elaborate on that? On your philosophy on
329. 27:23the ego.
330. 27:28Sometimes when you're full of ego, you
331. 27:30forgot the details and you get away of
332. 27:34your head too much and then it makes you
333. 27:38fall. It makes you lose some fight. You
334. 27:41know, imagine if I would go fight Paul
335. 27:44Craig. He's a phenomenal guard player.
336. 27:47And then I go there. I know I have a
337. 27:49phenomenal jiu-jitsu. I know I have
338. 27:50jiu-jitsu to trade with him. But if my
339. 27:53ego was high, I was going to his guard
340. 27:56and try to play jiujitsu with him. What
341. 27:58can happen? He can finish me. So that's
342. 28:01my ego make me fall. That's the example.
343. 28:03You know what I mean? So no, I I don't
344. 28:06have ego. I find my ego every day. I
345. 28:08find my ego every day. Not just in the
346. 28:10gym, but at home with my wife, my kids,
347. 28:13my friends, my family. You need to fight
348. 28:15your ego cuz it doesn't help you and it
349. 28:19doesn't help you in life. It doesn't
350. 28:20help you when you fight. So yeah,
351. 28:23>> a lot of media are comparing this uh
352. 28:26fight night with the football opposition
353. 28:29between France and Brazil. Do you follow
354. 28:32football and do you know how big this
355. 28:34makes this fight night?
356. 28:35>> Yeah, for sure. I think I think we are
357. 28:38ahead of France in football. Of course,
358. 28:40you guys won us 98 and you know, but I
359. 28:45think it's five and two for us. We have
360. 28:47five World Cups. You guys have only two.
361. 28:50So, I I don't think there's even a
362. 28:52discussion about that, you know? And how
363. 28:56many French guys were the best in the
364. 28:57world? And now, how many Brazilian guys
365. 28:59were the best in the world? So, there's
366. 29:01no discussion on that. You know what I
367. 29:03mean? They're trying to bring that. I
368. 29:05wasn't trying to I was silent about
369. 29:07soccer because there's no discussion,
370. 29:09brother. That's what I'm saying. You
371. 29:11guys You guys are just relying on the 98
372. 29:14final. That's all you guys relying and
373. 29:16that's all you guys got. You guys have
374. 29:18nothing more on that. You know what I
375. 29:20mean? So five and two, five World Cups
376. 29:23against two World Cups.
377. 29:25Why you guys want more?
378. 29:27You got Jin Silva, yourself, Carlos
379. 29:31Prates, and Mauricio Rufi who you are
380. 29:33all going to fight for important fights
381. 29:36and you're in a good place to one day
382. 29:38fight for the title soon. Who do you
383. 29:41think between you four will be a
384. 29:42champion first? Do you think it would be
385. 29:44yourself?
386. 29:44>> That's a good question. If you asking me
387. 29:47like six months ago or maybe a year ago,
388. 29:49I would say myself because I'm ahead a
389. 29:52little bit of the guys. I was the only
390. 29:53one top five and all that. only one top
391. 29:5510 and all that, but right now it's
392. 29:59crazy how thing goes fast, right? And
393. 30:00Jin Silva is one fight away for the
394. 30:02title. If he goes there and win a
395. 30:04dominant fashion, he always does against
396. 30:06against Diego, he's the next one. Carlos
397. 30:10just did what you guys saw against
398. 30:12Delane, the first guy to knock him out.
399. 30:14And then he going he going to fight Leon
400. 30:17Eders in the end of the year. If he
401. 30:19wins, he can go for the belt. Mauricio,
402. 30:21imagine if he goes here and do a heel
403. 30:24kick at the same in Benoisen his
404. 30:26hometown and I think he's gonna KO him
405. 30:28in the first round and uh he's gonna be
406. 30:31one fight away for the title. So why not
407. 30:35put four of us at the same time? Imagine
408. 30:37that. How big is going to be for the
409. 30:39UFC? How massive this is going to be for
410. 30:41the UFC. If you guys want really a good
411. 30:44event that people want to see, put us
412. 30:46for to go to the bell. Maybe White
413. 30:48House. Why not?
414. 30:51Thank you, bro.
415. 30:55>> I've seen you a couple times uh when the
416. 30:57fight wasn't official and I can see
417. 31:00right now um in your eyes that you seem
418. 31:02more focused. How is the mindset? We can
419. 31:05realize that you're really close to the
420. 31:07main event
421. 31:09>> right now. You see that I'm more
422. 31:11focused?
423. 31:12>> I mean, this week, yeah.
424. 31:13>> Yeah, for sure. For sure. When when it
425. 31:15comes fight week, you come to fight
426. 31:17mode, you know what I mean? And uh and I
427. 31:19think this is the mode that I need to be
428. 31:22focusing to fight. You know, I'm
429. 31:24fighting one of the best guys in the
430. 31:25world. I'm, as I said, I'm not taking
431. 31:28away anything from Nasudin. He's a very
432. 31:31good athlete, very good striker, very
433. 31:33good athlete, and
434. 31:36I prepare myself to fight the best guy
435. 31:39in the world. If anything comes less
436. 31:42than that, it's a profit for me. But I'm
437. 31:44preparing for a war. I'm prepared for a
438. 31:47five round battle to be punched in the
439. 31:49face to punch him in the face and let's
440. 31:52see who's the best man. So I need to be
441. 31:54focusing. I need to be serious about it,
442. 31:57you know. And I think that's the fight
443. 31:59that is going to bring the next
444. 32:00contender. So really serious. So that's
445. 32:03why I I seen focusing more in this fight
446. 32:06week because I need to be like that.
447. 32:08>> The two of you played the game of trash.
448. 32:10You start you started but Nazerin did it
449. 32:13well on his side even with a video. you
450. 32:15even liked it. Um,
451. 32:17>> I love it.
452. 32:19>> Do you feel that this part of the job is
453. 32:22done and achieved like all eyes in the
454. 32:25MMA world or on this main event, Fight
455. 32:28Night?
456. 32:28>> Yeah, for sure. I think we did a great
457. 32:30job. I think we did a great job. As I
458. 32:32said, Nasu didn't need to thank myself
459. 32:35because I made him do that because he
460. 32:37wasn't, you know, you it's your guys.
461. 32:40You you guys know that he wasn't a guy
462. 32:42that talk too much in social media and
463. 32:44all that. And he started because of me.
464. 32:46So, he did a great job. I did a great
465. 32:48job. The whole world want to see this
466. 32:51fight and we're going to deliver that. A
467. 32:53good fight for the fans.
468. 32:55>> And how did you prepare to this
469. 32:58atmosphere, the craziest crowd in the
470. 33:01world? Uh we've seen videos of you
471. 33:03sparring with a fake referee calling
472. 33:05your opponent, your sparring partner,
473. 33:07Immav. How did you prepare for the
474. 33:10noise? Because you might not even hear
475. 33:12your coaches.
476. 33:13>> Yeah, if if I don't hear my coaches,
477. 33:16Nasin is not going to hear hear his
478. 33:18coaches, too. Right.
479. 33:20Right. So, there's no advantage or
480. 33:23nothing to worry about that. So, but to
481. 33:25be honest, uh I'm very happy to be
482. 33:28fighting from front of the French fans,
483. 33:30you know, because I heard that they are
484. 33:32one of the craziest fans ever, the most
485. 33:34exciting fans ever. And I love this. You
486. 33:37know, there's the guys that respect the
487. 33:39sport, the value of sport, that make us
488. 33:41fighters want
489. 33:44being seen by by the world and by them.
490. 33:46They make the show, you know what I
491. 33:48mean? So, I'm I'm very respectful for
492. 33:50the French crowd. Um, I'm planning to go
493. 33:54in there as I always do in my wild card,
494. 33:56full of energy, smiling. If people will
495. 33:59give me hand, I'm going to beat their
496. 34:01hands and all that. And I'm planning on
497. 34:04that, bro. Like I feed myself with
498. 34:07energy and I don't care if it's the
499. 34:09energy is against me or with me. If they
500. 34:12bring me energy, they're going to be
501. 34:14feeding me and I'll get all this energy
502. 34:18and release inside the octagon.
503. 34:20>> Thank you.
504. 34:21>> Thank you, bro.
505. 34:22>> Hello, Ko. Since the fight was
506. 34:24announced, there has been a lot of
507. 34:26tension between you and on social media.
508. 34:29Uh, do you think you won this first
509. 34:31fight?
510. 34:33I don't think nobody wins this kind of
511. 34:35fight. The fight is fall in Saturday.
512. 34:39So, I don't care. A lot for sure a lot
513. 34:42of times
514. 34:44uh we we we had a lot of examples of
515. 34:47guys that won this first fight. You
516. 34:50know, we have McGregor and Waldo and we
517. 34:52see that he he won and all that. But I
518. 34:55think nowadays it's a different times.
519. 34:57Everybody has good mindset. Everybody
520. 34:59knows how to play mind games and all
521. 35:02that. Nasudine, I'm be honest with you,
522. 35:07all of their his videos, I'm 100% sure
523. 35:11wasn't his ideas. He has a good team
524. 35:14working behind him and congratulate him
525. 35:17for that because you need to put a good
526. 35:18team to work behind him. all my videos
527. 35:21my idea and then I put on my team and
528. 35:25then we did because if you say all his
529. 35:27interviews he's just speaking what his
530. 35:29manager is saying his manager did an
531. 35:31interview saying a he came to the
532. 35:34interview and say exactly the same thing
533. 35:37he manag comes to another interviewer
534. 35:39say B he comes to the interview and say
535. 35:41exactly the same thing so he's just
536. 35:44saying what people are saying because
537. 35:45I'm not saying that he lost the fight
538. 35:48this fight I'm saying that he's not that
539. 35:50much of a talker. He doesn't talk that
540. 35:52much. He's not that that kind of guy and
541. 35:55it's okay with that. But all my videos
542. 35:58was my idea. All his videos good team
543. 36:01behind him.
544. 36:01>> Thank you. We will ask him.
545. 36:03>> Thank you.
546. 36:04>> Thank you.
547. 36:14>> To the bank.
548. 36:22There you go.
549. 36:36Oh,
550. 37:01okay.
551. 37:10here. Hi Simony from Fight for Europa.
552. 37:13Uh considering this sort of tournament
553. 37:15that there is now in the division with
554. 37:17the RDR and Fluffy fight as well. Do you
555. 37:19consider that what you talked about the
556. 37:21hype and the trash talk the way you
557. 37:23built up the fight can be a difference?
558. 37:24Of course, apart from the performance,
559. 37:26but do you think that that can add an
560. 37:28extra value on that?
561. 37:29>> 100%. I agree with you. I think it
562. 37:31already added an extra value to that.
563. 37:34And uh there's another extra values. I
564. 37:37was the one that came as a backup three
565. 37:39weeks before this fight. Make weight
566. 37:42before this fight. Took all the risks
567. 37:44because I think that's what champions
568. 37:46are made. Champions take risks and
569. 37:49that's why they get the biggest reward,
570. 37:51you know. And for sure, I think the only
571. 37:54way that Fluffy RDR pass in front of me
572. 37:59after I win him if I win like a boring
573. 38:02fight. But I don't think it's going to
574. 38:04be a boring fight because the fight
575. 38:07itself
576. 38:08two of one of the best guys in the world
577. 38:10fighting each other against the craziest
578. 38:13crowd ever in France. That would be a
579. 38:16great fight. It's already a great fight
580. 38:17before it happens. You know what I mean?
581. 38:19So, I just need to come in there,
582. 38:21dominate, finish, or at least do a good
583. 38:25fight with a good domination. And I
584. 38:28think they they won't pass us. You know
585. 38:29what I mean? I think this is the fight
586. 38:31that we bring the number one contender.
587. 38:33Doesn't matter if anyone is saying,
588. 38:39hello. Yes. So talking about next
589. 38:42opponent for for Kams at Chimayv Dana
590. 38:44White said okay so we've got fight
591. 38:46between Kaio Boralio and Imavo we've got
592. 38:49the fight between um Hernandez and
593. 38:52Erdier. My question is, who do you got
594. 38:55in this second matchup between um
595. 38:57Hernandez and RER Deer?
596. 39:00>> I I got Hernandez all day cuz I think
597. 39:03RDR is exactly the same athlete as Dolce
598. 39:09with the same assets like very good on
599. 39:12the ground, not too good on the
600. 39:14striking. I think Dolitz is actually a
601. 39:17little bit more dangerous on striking
602. 39:19the RDR and uh but Fluffy knows how to
603. 39:23stop these guys. He already show he
604. 39:26respectfully with Dolzi that he's a nice
605. 39:28guy but he made Dolzi look like a kid in
606. 39:31the park like he was easy and he
607. 39:35was like giving kisses smiling and you
608. 39:39know like he did a show and I think it's
609. 39:41going to happen the same thing with RDR
610. 39:45>> Dana White gave the contract with UFC to
611. 39:47try to collect this night.
612. 39:49>> I love it. Did you watch the fight or
613. 39:52great?
614. 39:52>> It was 2 3:00 a.m. here, but
615. 39:55>> that was crazy.
616. 39:56>> I needed to be awake to watch this guy.
617. 39:58You know, we trained so much. We did so
618. 40:00much sparring together. He's a very good
619. 40:02guy. Athletes is softball fast and good
620. 40:08heart, good family guy, a young kid
621. 40:11that's very nice, very good friend of
622. 40:13mine. I'm very happy for him. How did it
623. 40:16happen? This friendship between you and
624. 40:18Miho Chuk.
625. 40:20I hear that you call them brothers.
626. 40:23Chukchuk.
627. 40:24>> Yeah.
628. 40:24>> Isn't it true?
629. 40:25>> Yeah. We call them like chuk chuk
630. 40:28brothers. Yeah. You know, I fought
631. 40:31Michelle. I fought Michelle Leuk and uh
632. 40:34I finish him and then after that we just
633. 40:38spoke a little bit. We were very
634. 40:40respectful about each other after the
635. 40:42fight and I think he saw the style of
636. 40:46our team and he saw into the fight and
637. 40:49he saw all the videos that we post all
638. 40:52the social media and all the outlets
639. 40:54that we have. He saw it and he wanted to
640. 40:57you know like improve himself like I
641. 40:59need a little bit of this style for me.
642. 41:01So then we start talking a little bit
643. 41:03for like a year or something and then we
644. 41:06finally made it happen when uh I think
645. 41:09after he lost to Shada and then we fin
646. 41:12or maybe Holland I don't know but but we
647. 41:15finally make it made it happen for him
648. 41:17to come to Brazil just to you know take
649. 41:20a look and test maybe one two weeks
650. 41:23let's see if you like or not and he came
651. 41:26in man what a lovely guy what what a
652. 41:31good person, good family guy, a guy that
653. 41:35puts all of his soul into this sport and
654. 41:38take his very seriously, very
655. 41:40disciplined. He was always early for the
656. 41:43trainings. He was always helping. He
657. 41:45knows how to train without hurting other
658. 41:48people. He knows how to develop himself
659. 41:50and the other ones in the room. And it
660. 41:53just match, you know. And then I became
661. 41:56friend of him. I said, I'm going to help
662. 41:58you in your training camp because nobody
663. 42:00wants to fight me. so I don't have a
664. 42:01fight and then I'm going to help in your
665. 42:03training camp. He love it. I became his
666. 42:06corner. We get a good connection and to
667. 42:11be honest, I love him like a brother.
668. 42:12He's like a real brother for me. I'm I'm
669. 42:14planning to go to Poland soon to go
670. 42:17there, visit his family, visit his
671. 42:19hometown, do some seminars over there.
672. 42:22And uh it's it's going to be a long long
673. 42:24friendship because he already came back
674. 42:26again, did another camp. I couldn't be
675. 42:29his corner because I had this fight and
676. 42:32I couldn't like be flying away. But then
677. 42:34I got called to be the backup, but I
678. 42:36couldn't be his corner anyways. And then
679. 42:39I think I'm going to be his corner in
680. 42:41other fights. I'm going to be helping
681. 42:42him. He maybe I think he's coming to
682. 42:45France to watch this fight. So very
683. 42:47happy with all this connection. And now
684. 42:49even more happy with Cesar
685. 42:54entering the the the UFC. I think they
686. 42:57both deserve it.
687. 42:59>> Thank you very much.
688. 43:01>> Uh here Kao uh can you give us some
689. 43:04details on how the corner will be?
690. 43:09What will be the roster of the corner
691. 43:10between you and Mauricio Rafi? Because
692. 43:12like the two uh two fights are
693. 43:15following. So
694. 43:16>> did you guys have will have the same
695. 43:18corner adjustment?
696. 43:20>> Yeah, we have only one same corner. It's
697. 43:22Pablo. Pablo Sopira, the owner of the
698. 43:25gym, the head coach. He's going to be
699. 43:27going with Rofi. And then right after
700. 43:29the fight, he's coming back, but all the
701. 43:31other guys are different.
702. 43:33>> And just a quick one to finish, you said
703. 43:35that you sold pretty well like the main
704. 43:37event with Nasini Mahov. Did you kind of
705. 43:39feel the animosity when you've been in
706. 43:41Paris on the last few days? Like maybe
707. 43:43some fans recognize you or maybe hate
708. 43:45you because like you know in France we
709. 43:48root for Nasin obviously. So, did you
710. 43:50feel or did you interact with some fans
711. 43:52that said, "Oh, it's Kaio, so we hate
712. 43:54him."
713. 43:55>> Actually, I didn't got any hate of any
714. 43:59any fans in France. A lot of guys came
715. 44:01to me, saw me in the supermarket, in the
716. 44:04streets. They came to me, wanted to do a
717. 44:06photo and all that. You know what I
718. 44:08mean? And I think it was very good. But
719. 44:10let me remember you guys something. Uh,
720. 44:13I don't know if you know, but Nasin is a
721. 44:16Russian, right? And that's the one the
722. 44:20Russian guys is the one that make your
723. 44:23French fall in 1803. The French lost the
724. 44:27war to Russia. To Russia that's what
725. 44:30make Napoleon lose and now the
726. 44:33revolution stop. It was because of
727. 44:36Russia. So I don't know why you guys are
728. 44:38rooting for a guys that is from Russia.
729. 44:40You know what I mean? So I'm going to be
730. 44:42the Brazilian that is going to be
731. 44:44avenging the France in a French
732. 44:46territory. Con guys. Okay.
733. 44:53>> Thank you guys.
734. 44:54>> Did you see my meta glasses? Nice,
735. 44:57right?
736. 44:58>> Look good, right? Yeah. I'm going to put
737. 45:00the the tape over here and it'll be very
738. 45:02nice. Thank you.
