And representing the M.M.A. Fighting in Brazil,
Guillermo Cruz.
Hello, lo, am Igo, friend of Lutta,
well, the 17th episode of the podcast, Trocaption Franca,
a sua case of MMA in this immense podosphere.
I'm going to crime, Chris,
correspondent of the site American Ammifair in Brazil,
and I'm back
in this quarter
day in
a co-celling
in a
year to end
the best of the
way of the
thing that's
one of the
main of the story
of sports
that recently decided
transform your
your life in
the work
respire
a business
a business at
Amazon in
Brazil and
best cellar
also in
New York Times
it's a
it's a good
good
for you guys
it's good
good here
this great
in California coming
the winter
the freez in
but the
opposite is
the opposite is
right to
Here, here is very hot.
I'm going to get a little bit of
a bit of envy of you with this free.
Talking about about the book,
that's a new thing,
this year,
you launched a biography,
how is it a process
to transform it in a book
a story
so rich as your.
Look, the idea
to do you have
maturating
in some time in my
head.
I have a
friend my who is
professor of
art of
the war in Columbia
University,
the name of Peter
Maguire,
and was my
friend who helped me
to
write to
this
book.
And this
idea we
had been
talking a
much
time, but
never
had been
really
posted
a front.
With this
pandemic,
you know,
the
proposal that I
received
of a
editor was
really
irrecusable
and then
this project
took
life.
And then
we put
my life
in the
paper there
were
a thing
intense, that I hope
that's inspirational for many people.
It's a project that you had
to launch and the pandemic,
everyone had to be in front of
house, it,
and it was accelerating this process?
Or was the contrary, the question
financial during the pandemic,
it, it's a problem.
The idea of that this
book happened, for cause of the
pandemic, is a very
because if not had this pandemic,
I would continue
with seminars and the
life, what will.
And this book
would be, like,
adiated.
But with a pandemic,
with the difficulty
to work, with more time in
house, and the necessity
to make money, the thing
movemented and happened.
I read the preface
of your book, written by Joseph
Padilla, and he compared
to Pelé in the preface.
You concorded with this comparison, or you
would make a parallel with
some other sportist, with some other
great name of the story?
Look, it's very difficult, if I have in my good sense of
the head, to concordar with a comparison with a man like
Pelle, who is a god in sport.
I, with a little comparison, I think I did
much by Jujitz, also, and I was invicto in my career.
Or so, I have some points that are similar to Pellé of capacity
in the sport, but he is an idol, is my idol,
idol,
also,
I don't
want to
me compare
to people,
I just want
to do the
best of the
world of
jiu-jitsu,
the people
can say that
I'm, I'm
so the person in
football, you know,
the person in the
world of the
world of Jvits
is you compare to
you, and the
question to
your biography,
that the title
of her push
to the right
to the
restiration,
that is a
thing, even
who is
fan of Jiu-Gi
who is
fan of art
suave,
of arts
martial,
but just trombed with a video
classical your in the prairie,
making the respiration and
which is a thing,
I would ador would be
to do, but I'd
know that in this life
I never can't
do that.
Or then,
or then,
you trombed with
you,
seeing the movie of
the Incrieve
2008,
the film of Edward
Northon.
I imagine there
has been a
good, especially
talking of the
film,
to have been
been presented to
a universe of
people who
who don't
accompany the
Juxes,
that not
accompany art massage in the world of the cinema,
maybe a public that maybe never
could never know if you're not
not being in this life?
With, with certainty,
the idea of this
book is exactly
to bring to the people
a, a question
more profound
of what is being
an athlete of a point,
you know,
what is to have the
responsibility to
win the pressure?
And in this process
of evolution,
in my sport,
in those my
responsibilities,
in the power of my legada,
the responsibility to represent a family,
this all was adding to my life
a pressure very great that
not just the practice in the tatami
that will make me feel comfortable,
there's a practice that I have to
have to be a spiritual,
there's a practical,
a practical, emotional,
of control.
So,
all this part that I
not could explain
what I was invisible,
I understood
with my great mentor, Orlando Coney.
And the inspiration was
practically what
created a unification
between my control emotional,
the part of anxiety,
of nervous,
of claustrophobia,
of panic, of fear,
of mead,
combining with the part spiritual,
of faith,
of hope,
to think you
can't have control,
and with the part
technical,
that the respiration also
also helps in the part cardiovascular
of you maintain in a
peak performance for more time
through a hyperventilation.
So,
I always went, I always
went great,
and I represented the family in Jiu-Jit,
always competed since a little bit.
But, before I started
to understand my respiration
as a firmament
not just physical,
but also mental and spiritual,
I really took into
I took into my
body as a whole
and me
felt much more
more capacited
to understand
and to find out of
my challenges.
One thing
you pointed,
that you always
was an athlete,
it's always
grace,
not being
grace is a
thing along
the body,
but you
know,
having a
life public,
because your
father,
the people
who were the
people who
were the
people who were
the
people,
how it was
how it was
going to
do you
in day-a-day, in your
youthhood.
Obviously,
there had a
positive,
uh,
of you know,
of your
young in New
New New York,
was a famous,
had the
bad, but
had a lot
too, but
had a lot
of a celebrity,
you know,
when you're
a person,
that's a
person, you
come back to
be a little
grace, a future
champion,
the people
the people,
you're,
they're,
they're,
They're with a
carine, an admiration, and a
culture that
makes with you feel differentiated,
not just by the fact of you
be a grace, but also for coming different
in a diet a different
and have practices in a
tatami, to fight, since a little bit more
a thing, or so, you're a
person different.
In this crescent, in this process,
you come to understand
that for you be the grace
admirable, you have to be
in the sport, you have to go to
get to compete, you have to have
have to have results in competition.
And it's always
a motive of enthusiasm, and I
always was very competitive,
I always liked much
of the ambient competitive
of sport.
And it's always
encashed very with my
personality. So, it was
very natural for me,
me to be a paxioner
by the Jiu-Gitzo and
me to turn a representant
of the art.
You've just
felt a want to be
anonym, of
this, this, this, this, this
piece in
of you, because you
not just the Rixson, you're
a representant of a
thing more,
no,
look, the Anonimato,
he comes with a
certain
mediocrity,
no,
the more important
you're in terms
of results,
in terms of
expectations,
more you want
to show this
result,
more you
really,
it really
to be comfortable
in that
the state of
superiority.
So, I always
me
comfortable
being a
I always had the pressure that I received a pressure
to represent and to have the result
that was important for me.
But this pressure also,
it also, for the others,
for the other, for the adversaries,
and for the people,
that's a different,
that is a figure of Elio,
that there is a woman,
that is a good,
and tr-a-tran.
Or,
or something,
I had to the same form
that I had to me to try
especially,
the other people
were differentiated, so it wasn't the
same thing for a girl of 12, 13 years
to to fight with some other competitor,
or then, to look with me.
So there was a pressure for the other side,
I also used, so for the both,
for the bad, and for the mal.
That's right.
This is the last of a family,
to form a clan,
was one of the things
most interesting of your biography,
that I, I, that, I,
I, I, I, I recommend too.
And the passage that most
me
ch who's
really
when you
know what you
talk the story
about the decision
of the L.
and the
kind of
even the
wife of her
mother,
that's the
never you
never really,
but in the
book you
say it's
about her
about it
about it
not have been
not been
not been
to have
to get
generated
how it
how it
was to
you
to
this form
this part
so intimate
of your
story
of the story of your family?
I think it's a
fact that has to be
a matter in a certain
point,
I, for me,
when I was
when I was born,
I didn't know
the reality.
I always
see my mom
Margarida
as my mom
completely.
I never,
I don't me
see, of
another form.
And until the
16 years,
I'd
think it
fiament,
like,
then I
started to
join the dots
and I
made to
make the
things
would be
more sense
more
more
I understand that my
very
mother of
the same
was a
babes that my
father
had during
much
time and with
the concordance
of my
mother,
they were
a scheme
of three
children,
that in
certity of
the
birth,
documentation,
school,
all,
my life
all,
I always
was a
daughter
of Donna
Margarida
Grace.
And in
the
very
I
surprised
that not
the fact.
But this
is part
of a
of an
of an
idea of
my
my child
and my
father
they had
they had
the
intention of
a clan
a clan
of the
clan of
lot of
so they
not could
be limited
to really
a
relationship
and have
one
a few or
two or two
and
the
life
their
being
one with
two
two
three
so they
they're
they're
many
my
my
two
Charles
casos
six
And my father,
he's a
one way, but there
secretly
two, two
women that
did their
children with him,
and that was
the thing really
was made with a
family, and
this part of
who was the
man, who was
the father,
that part
not important
the union of
the family and
the representativity
that we
had, and the
love that we
had as
as a
the
people.
So, I
think that
supered
all this
problems,
Any disentrediment that could happen
the love, the legado,
the representativity,
the capacity to be
to integrate with Jujit,
I think it did this all
to be minor than the
the Plan Grace.
How is a family so
great, you said a quantity of
a quantity of children with your father, that's
how a family so great
can't guard a secret of this for so long
time?
You have to ask you who
did the secret.
I'm really...
I'm a victim of the product.
You
You told in the book
that you
So know
the six
his six
other
brothers in
in the adolescence
and that
it's
you didn't
by the
relation
with the
your
mother,
that you
got
felt
for her
when you
when you
became
that you
did you
did you
how it
how it
how you
did you
the
idea
the
idea
did you
did the
relationship
with
you
did
yeah
because
until
a point
where the
was a secret was a thing that was
assumed by my mom and by
my father,
as a
thing accorded
between the two,
the my mom
could over
all the problems
that she could have
like, of love,
of insecurity,
because it was an
accord.
There was an
accord in the first
three children,
in the case of
Roryon,
of Helson, and
my,
when I was
with 12 years
of age, my
father, said,
my son,
I'd like to
have to have
himons?
I said,
yeah,
yes,
Yes, yes, but the question
more exquisite,
that in this
time, I actually, I
found a carafil of my mom.
Then he said,
we went to a car,
we went a walk,
like we, we came a house
in Flamengo,
when we came to
BotaFogo,
we entered
in an apartment,
and we subed
to the sixth
and opened a
door, and then
appeared a
a lady, and
the repent,
the headcions
appeared
like,
were four,
in this era,
were the Roker,
the Royler,
the Roy,
and the Herrick,
the Riss and the Robin
still not have been
Naced. Anyway,
I'm confronted with
the children and said,
they said, are all those
your brothers.
Or so,
for me,
it was a surprise
that I could
say that was
a greatable.
But about the
point of view of
his relationship
with my
mom,
who surprised
with these
new four
children,
that they
were really
traumatic,
because my
mom had not
had concorded
or accorded,
she,
she never
never knew
about this
story.
When she sobe, she was
disappointed, and I
started to see a
side of, not
of disrespect, but of a certain
fault of love, a fault
of, a
of,
of,
of,
of,
of,
that,
I,
I don't
want a
manorado that
was,
that,
that was,
that was a relationship
with me,
not know what I do,
not,
to do the,
with my,
with the,
with the
,
with my,
,
with the,
So I thought that
that was above
what I would have
to be in my
relationship.
And it was a
reference to my
future, and it was
a understanding of
that I saw that
my mom,
even though she
had done
everything, she went
to a depression
of her,
the, the
of her
the trestice of her
to not
have
been,
to get to
a point of
satisfaction,
she felt
that she,
she,
she,
She was, and she was, and I was
and was there was, and I felt during the
envelecement of her, a certain, a
a fault of, of,
a legia.
And this, I thought,
thinking this,
and I said,
not that I want to my life,
much, I admire my father.
I admire my father as an example,
as a general,
as a guy with super,
with super advantages for one
side, in the relationship,
I felt it a little.
It was a little.
He was a guy more
very, in the time of his,
a woman and a
kidda,
the kidd,
the woman who'd
the woman,
don't do the palpit,
he's more,
he's a few
years if he's
lived,
so,
he didn't
not,
it's not in
my generation,
and the
of there,
today.
So, I
see that,
in a modernity,
the,
Grace,
he would have
had to
have a certain,
a
development more evolved in this
sense of relation, of
partnership, that no
had been, and that I felt like
was a fault for my future, and then
I did my muddances and my adjustments.
I don't know. I can't even imagine
the BACC, that might have been
this experience, even more
in the adolescence, when you don't
have a total understanding,
it's even admirable
the form that you
did with this situation.
It's because, as
when you are a child, with
12, 3,000, you don't understand
much of the life, but when
you see the mother, without
had no reason,
and crying in a can't
you say,
you're saying,
oh, no, my
my son,
try to
you're trying to
understand
to understand
that there
there are
things between the
phrases,
between the
lines that
not are
being
written
or most
there's
an effect
emotional.
Why is
my mom
is chatea
and you
and you
start a
thing that
is a
under the
tapette,
you know,
and then you
have to
take to
take the
your
attitudes
to
you feel
comfortable
with what
what's happening.
You,
you and your two
the two
of the first
women,
have to
have a
kind of
with this
about the
they've got
wanted to
to get with
to discover
this story?
No,
that was
after that was
she was
being the
family,
being in
house,
visit,
we've
we've always
a
different from a
baby different
that
in a mother number two,
an person that we'd
talk with a carino,
but she never
liked to open this fact,
she never opened
what was our mother,
we never conversed
about this.
The only time
I tried to talk
about this issue with
she said that
this point,
this was just
had a casas,
it had been
back 2006,
2008,
and she she
said that
nobody in the
family of her
still had
she made
of this,
she made
with this
this desire of her, I didn't
force a bar, now, getting,
as a new figure. So I said, well, if you want to
be able to stay
so I'm a bit discomfortable in the
sense of opening and me
deception with any attitude of her.
So I, I, I
accepted that was a distance
positive between us.

I'm talking a little bit of LUTA now, I'm a minute, I'm a minute, and every year,
and every year, and every time I said to them, that I'd interviewer all along these
years' years'all, they always reacted to a form different, like the name Hickson
has a hour different, that no other Grette's carry.
At least in all those interactions that I've had with them, what you think you
what does that cause this? What's the
what the temper is different
that makes the Rixon be
a grace differentiation
in the vision, especially
of the Americans?
I mean, I got in a...
As soon that I got my
My Fache-Pretta with 18 years,
I made in a position of represent
the Jiu-Gitzo.
In a form
very abrangent
because there
no, there was
a regra,
no, there
category of
There was a limit of time,
no, there was a style of
a lot, or so it was a
thing,
it was a very,
very abrangent, in the
sense of any
any time, no,
no, there's time,
no, or so this
unpredictable,
it makes in a situation
very,
very,
how I'm going to
say,
vulnerable?
Not very vulnerable,
but it's a
situation
for an imprevisibility that you don't have,
no, no,
you know,
you can't,
do,
make a planeagement,
to do a strategy
based in sport,
or regras, or time,
the time of training.
It's a thing very impervisible.
And I think that the people
always have this point in me,
you know,
because not only in the
life atletic,
but also if I had to
do a,
a big,
a big,
a,
It was at any time, not had a
time, not had a
not a composition sportive,
it was a more of emotion,
of a ra-a-a-a-a-resteak,
and respect.
And this, the people
always understood that with me
was like,
a thing,
of a sport,
of name,
of celebrity,
of event,
and it was a
response immediate
to the legate
the family,
the responsibility.
So,
it was for who I was
who I was
the fight would be
to happen
so this
this side
kind of
of samurai
this side
of me of
we're
like so
representant
I'm
I'm
with all my
my
own
my
I don't
I was
I was
I was
there
trying to
represent
the Jujits
and for
this
you have
to really
be really
to be
ready to
do you
to
make
something
so this
let me
let's
a
so, not a mystery, but it's a,
why this guy can't do?
Because I believe that he could
get a little, then it's a thing
that everyone respected very,
and I think I
did the best the best thing in
this concept.
You think that has this
style of
merguling on an
impervisible and have,
even as, been invicto
as a professional, in
Jiu-Gitz, in M.A.
Also, also,
also, helped,
to alimenting this
this aura that exists in
the tone of you?
With
certainty,
what I prego
in my life
is an
accredited
in the Jiu-Gitz
1,000.
And all
my situations
of problem
I resolved
through the Jiu-Git's
either
psychologics,
be social,
are emotional,
or spiritual,
or physical.
So the
practice of Jiu-Sit-S-
for me
was a question
of evolution
mental,
physical,
and spiritual.
And this
practice,
it gave
a confidence, a capacity of improvisation,
because in my time,
nobody had a banning, gelated,
in my time,
nobody would have a respiration to
augment the performance,
gymnastics functional with elastic,
with elastic, these things.
I, a 30 years ago,
I did a documentary,
a joke,
in a preparation of a
championship in Japan,
where my preparation was completely,
I'd create my,
I'd create my exercises,
I'd do my things,
because I didn't have a reference.
But I had to
to make to make a
my spirit.
How are I
will make a
my capacity
to control the
my fear?
Go to
the g-in-to-
get to the
cold,
get to the g-
breathing,
to see, how
you feel your
body, how you
feel your
agony, and
how you can
control this
with a
Piscar of
eyes?
I'd
I'd create
situations
problematic
to try
to try
to try
the
force
spiritual
that I
had to
the time
of the
I
exactly,
even
knew what
could
happen.
So,
this process
of
development,
he came instinctively,
he came
by the
pressure that
I had,
he came,
by the
impredibility
of the
moment that I
would be
today,
the jupators
are super
trained,
are super,
understand,
are probably
in that
time,
without,
without,
without,
no,
without,
it's a process of evolution.
But they have
much less stress in the
head,
much less a fault
of certainty
spiritual, because they
don't need to
so they're three rounds
in five minutes,
it's all the regina
category of paper,
or so it's
much more
sportive
than an
imprevisible
and you have
to be able
to be ready to
get to
get to
my
spirituality
was so great
that I
thank I
thank you
to be
good,
and I'd say, well, if it's my day final,
if it's my last day today,
I'd thank God to be alive,
of being present it.
Or, I'd say,
even prepare for the death,
I'd prepare for the end up the
because desisting for me
not an option.
Get to remark a lot,
a rematch,
it's not an option.
My option is to gain or
or more.
Bate, I don't want to be.
Someone who jogged
for me,
or something do something
faxed, but
desisting,
not was an option
for me.
So,
So, this really
was a
trajectory where I
went looking
solutions and
looking situations
for that I
could be comfortable
in the inferno.
The your
curriculum official,
let's say,
in the M.A.
The show
dogs of the
site of
registro,
he shows,
11 victories and
11 luthas,
but you
always,
all along
the years,
had this
story of the
400 and-tant
the lutas
that you
never per
was a story that
was a lot of
long of the
years,
like the time,
like the
like the
two goals
in the
paper he's
not can't
prove the
most,
but he went
to go to
get to Romario
and say
that he
not made the
he's
how is
you know,
you know,
this number
of 400
luthas,
how is it?
How is
how is to live
with this
until
today,
let me
this
this
this
was a
count
was a
I think I was too much
because all the seminary that I did
at the time,
150, 40, 30, 20,
I, in the final of the seminar,
after 6 hours,
because my seminars were 6 hours,
after 6 hours,
I'd finalize to everyone.
I'd do.
Who'd train?
Everyone wanted?
To one to one, I'd finalize to all.
And,
all the championships that I
participated,
after 18 years of age,
in the category and in absolute,
all the luts are finalized,
and never
I never per die.
Campionates of Lutte
Liberty Olympic that I entered
when Hollis was empowered
with this,
I never per die.
Sambo,
did competitions of Sambo
in the Brazil and in the States
and also never
I never per die.
Or so,
the luts with
with guys
that are really
hard
in the
road,
professionals,
and that
not
I mean,
or so,
it's in
in
the clueling
with
surfists,
or with
the lotators
of the
World
Olympic,
or
the Jujitsu
competition
of
the
competition,
of
a
absolute,
and in
some
other
situation,
every
every
I was
I was
submitted,
no
there was
no,
I never
gained
for
points.
And
doing
a
a contage for
same,
very superficial,
did,
for the
least 450
luthas.
So I
firmed my
record in
this point.
M.MA,
for example.
I never
lute in MMA
in my
life.
I did
do all the
but all my
battles of
MMA
had a
roundes,
at times
of 10 minutes,
at times
of 15 minutes,
as times
of 5 minutes,
but it
was a
number
indetermined
of rounds, until
someone
to lose,
or
there was a
reason,
not there's a
reason to
get a
not a job,
and there's
to get a
lot,
or one or
another.
This not
not is in the
regular of
MMA,
or so,
these
the Lodit
all-tude-tude,
not should
not be
not be made
not be able to
because
not
are not
part of this
same
type of
the
kind of
this
countage,
I think
was cuted
by
conted by
back,
justin,
because I
could
to dobro
this and it's
difficult
of the people
negating
this fact.
Who saw,
who didn't
see,
unfortunately
we don't have
YouTube
on the last
right of
right?
If you
have some
there's a
question, you
have some
this type
of the
I don't
count,
to get in
these 400
of a
or get
in the
900 or
how is
how is the
how is the
criteria
to get
in this
number?
No,
I did
a criteria
based
in the
competitions
that I
competed
during
the
of number of competitions per year,
number of competitors
for competition,
and I went
and I was just
things,
more or less,
you know,
because I don't
can't let's
out of a break,
for example,
two brigs that I
had,
against the
Hugo Duarte,
that was a
guy caska-grossed
that I
went with a
praia and
another way in
a academy.
This not
was,
but how
I can't
dis-classificing
a professional,
a guy,
a car-grossed
this,
as one
was one of the
ones that I
put it to
represent to
understand,
I think
I'm,
me,
me,
me,
I see how
various
opportunities I
most try the
music,
and the
number, exactly
counted in
the paper,
I think,
for me,
I feel
satisfied with
a
least 450,
but if
if you
want to
put a
million,
I'm
getting
more satisfied.
A
we've
recently
recently,
Mike Tyson,
back
on
the 25
years,
to
confront
contemporary
in the
box.
It was a success of vandos,
in the States
in the climate of
nostalgia in the
air.
You just
have a
want to
a lot of
a lot of
the putt
in the
last years?
No.
I don't
I don't
feel because
first,
I have
some some
some, some
confusions
chronics that I
don't,
not me
feel comfortable
to train
and confirm
a lot,
or a
possibility,
because I
can in
the training
pored.
So I
always,
after I
my
achukee,
my
I don't have more the confidence
to be able to participate
of a training
and I don't need
I've passed in this phase
of competition
The first
your career official
official,
say,
of MMA,
which is the
11 luts,
it, it's,
it's 20 years,
the Lutu,
with the Loonak,
there have these moments
for, as you mentioned
the Hugo Duat,
you know,
the name gigante,
the sport.
What the moment
most markant
that you
have been in
these 11 luthers
or
or some other
other lute
that you
have made.
These
11
battles
practically
don't count
my career
because the
my first
with Zulu
even though
not even
not be
the MMA
was where
was a
19 years
and the
and the
my
last
last
with
Funak
I had
40
so
practically
were
20 years
of
career
of
high
performance
that
are
included
in
this
this
this
and
And with this, it was a much success,
much pressure,
much stress, much control emotional,
much respiration, and in the final of the day,
we're there's soaring.
Chagued to have had a lot after Funak?
Or the Funak, really, was the ultimate?
No, it was the ultimate of Funak.
Long after the passage of this
experience of the Lutah with Funak in May of 2000,
my father,
and then, there,
other problem in my life in terms of
to make my family
to adjusts to this tragedy,
then I'd go to problem
tragic and reganer the
the way of the
family of the felon of the
40-pocos years and then
the mached and they've been
not even more in competitive
Comprehensible to manner
was a experience, a very
very d'all, I've seen
various interviews with you, you
mentioning, you know,
as the death of Roxton,
that made desisting,
of, of the
of the commercials, you had
of the Lutta Mark, if I'm not
that was Sean Rock, or the
Sakuraba, but that
the juts are that not
were in the paper,
what did for these
battles not happen
before?
For example,
Sakuraba,
between 99 and 2000,
he had a gain of
three Graces,
that was in 2000
to your last.
What did you
did not have
happened before in
your career?
In terms of
chronology,
the only
the only thing
would be
the only thing that
was the
Sakuraba, because he was in a phase
awesome, and I had
had just got to get the Coliseo,
and it was a proposte
that I received from a TV
Japanese, to do that
the last, that would be I and the
first moment of Sakuraba,
that he was the Matador of Grace,
and I had been a
funa, that would be a
a lot
epic.
And, unfortunately,
a month after
to start to negotiate this proposal,
my son,
that's parted, and then the
thing went to back to
back to try, I don't
put the lot as a lot as a priority,
which would be good for me, emotionally,
to put it, focus, etc.
But it would be a tragedy for my family
that would be able to feel disamparada,
that I'd be able to.
So I resolved,
scancel the luta and
get more as a chauffeur
of the children,
like the babar,
and get there,
like, aseithing,
as a boy,
as a friend,
support,
the door in-conjunct
to us to pass
this crisis.
And then,
the Sakuraba
to go to, I think it was to the Vanderlay or to
I don't know for who he
He didn't, then he started to
get a little of the
strelato that he had
and when my tragedy
personal
better than they
didn't want to pay
even more one-third
than they wanted
when they wanted
when they were
when they were
a little interest
also for
for the
fault of moment
Uh huh
you're falling
you think that
looking to
this is a
lot that
it was felt
that the people
that the people,
it,
for more
that has
had been the appeal,
the Sakarabu had
been lost, it was
a lot, it was a lot,
it was a lot of,
it was a lot of
your family,
was a lot of
that was a little
guy that I really
really felt that I
I didn't put
to look and the
thing had
the consistency,
you know,
before that would
be a lot
good, because
I was very
confident with
to wince him
and he,
very caska-gross,
a very important in a moment,
and this was a lot
really interesting to see.
But this was for
other dimensions.
You feel
that it's not
a lot of the United
that came to turn
the grand center,
that in that era,
the United, the F.C.
The Japan was
the center,
the VALITU,
with Brazil,
and then the
United,
he was coming
the market,
you know,
you think,
maybe it was
a fault,
I've been doing
a lot of the
United?
Well,
I don't see
No, no.
Because the appreciation that the fans have,
by the art martial in Japan,
the respect, the
the intendiment of the techniques,
the capacity that they have to
to understand the
a lot of the whole,
is much more valorizing for the
athlete and for the event
than the grittaria,
the bebebele,
the gritty for violence,
the want to see
the American,
or so it's
a, it's a
much more
based in entertainment
than in the
martial. It would be good at the time if I
would put it because eventually it would be more
more money, it would be a thing important
financially. I would not
create a case with these
facts that I've said now to not
compete because what
what interests in this case is the
part of the law. But
the want to
to look in the States
United, not was present,
because the culture
the culture of art
martial in American, it is much more for entertainment,
than to exactly
the intendment of the
thing. For that I never had to have an interest
dobrod. It would be a thing
interesting, maybe, financially.
If you were to do you, if you
had today, 20 years,
in what category
of the pesole of you would be able?
Rapids, I see the
I see the next. There existed a court of
in the
time,
so it was a
different,
I'm a
guy that
represent the
Jujits
and eventually
if I
would have
been in
form, I
would be
with that
same mentality
to represent
the Jujits,
what makes
in a
obligation to
want to
a lot that
favorerce
the
definition of
the
the
because
to be in
a round
in a
round of
five minutes,
it's
much a
It's much force, it's very train,
it's much gas,
is very equilibrium,
and they're quite
patinando all the time
all, you know,
could happen
a knockout sensational,
but also the guys
can't end up
that time,
and you really
don't have certain
of who got in
the first round,
got him,
or he got a
thing that the
the luta
not got,
the lot of
the guys not were
won't have
beencited,
and it's
a thing
a bit more
was an
first thing I would
do it would be
maybe to
say a little
this regal of
a m.m.A.
and to
try to
try to
try to
when I came to
the United
the Mike
Tyson had the
displeasure
to say that
he was the
bestraiser
of the
world and then
we came
matting,
the Roryon,
we, we,
we, we
came up in
the propaganda
saying I
I'd
I'd
defiaeive
Mike Tyson
because he
not was the
better
the world,
he was the
best boxer
of the
world.
To be a better
He would have to do a
lot of a lot of
He'd have to do with a
little bit of
but he was looking
to look at that
he said to
who's this guy
not even
money on this
event so for
him to be
any interest for
the world of
box
compete with
a Brazilian
malucco
that came
trying to
get to say in a
porrata
but it would
be a
thing completely
is an
asserted in
the philosophy
Grace
to do that
if I was
if I was
ready to
to fight, I would
call the guy
more casca-grossi that I could put
the most of the
man, and I'd call him to
a regra differentia.
Because I
believe, if I
had in form, I
could be able to
a guy of these
great, a John
Jones, or
a Mioquit,
any of these, that's the
casca-grossed. I think
if I have conditions
to extend the time, if I
have conditions to me defend,
if I have conditions
to be able to
cancansal in the
beginning
I think
I could
could be
to get
to a
process where
the jiu-jitsu
would be
in the final
and get
a position
to get
because
when you
have a
cut and you
have to
patina
it's a
thing a
thing is a
fact that you
don't have
the capacity
to
a technique
or
I think
if I
if I
if I
were
ready to
put to
I
would be
a
situation
of
a
kind of
of a challenge,
for that I
would have
the
loter of
a lot to
do you
want to do
if I
if I'm
to look to
the MMA
today,
chances
would be the
I don't
have the
same
chance to
wince.
I don't
me
able to
my Jiu-Gitz
with the
form of
the time
that I
have got
a guy
more
more than
I in
three rounds
in five
minutes.
And
today,
the
category
of 60
kilos
is
was a lot with a car of 80 kilos.
The guys
do a magic
pes in peso, dietic,
sauna, banion,
can't, desidato, muscle. The first
great fight that they gain is
to do the peso.
The second great
is the adversary.
Or, I never
never paid a piece in my life. I never
worked to do this type of
work, to lose 15 kilos for
a lot.
It's what the guys do.
So, today, there's
a technology
apurated, a
development technical and physiological
and of remedies,
of ways to train,
a way to pay,
ways to ridrater the
body, and there's
a whole technology
that I don't know
any idea of what it
is, so I see
because I see the cron
so prepare,
so I see what he does,
and I see that the
things more difficult
that he does,
not is even the
training.
And,
so, all this part
physiological, of
pern of
the burden of
the
energy,
etc.
So I
see that this
part
that is
today
and that
does part
of the
system,
all the
world
today
already
does
10,
15
kilos
to
compete,
I
think,
not the
ideal,
you know,
it's
to be
what I
think
to be a
thing
really
to be the
thing
to be the
the student, the practicant.
So with these differences, with these things, I
I'd probably would more
to look at a more
way sensational to do, make a
look on a lot on some of a regra,
where two
go into the ring, and one
is a victorious, independent of the
judge, of regra, of time of
the luta, this would be the
thing that I would be working to do, and
would have to be, and it would have to
someone, someone is interested in
see this, because if you see a
part of tennis, for example,
a party of tennis,
it can have
a hour of
duration and the guy
sculachar the other and
get for 7-7-7-0,
or it can be a
part of a tennis that
it's a five, six hours.
And the
the platea is there
is there,
so why the VAL-TUDD
have to be decided
with three rounds and five
minutes, independent of
who is looking,
independent of what happened
because there are certain
things that are
that are the glamour
of the MMA
today,
is the fact
of the guy
to start the first
round,
because he did
two socos
in the car
of one,
in the second
round he
can't do
two socos
in the other
the same
guy,
he's two
a zero,
and get in
the third round
the
what was
he was getting
the shot on
the car
the face of
the guy
the guy
He's a Virov, he encaged, a
Laos, and is saved by the gongo.
Who was, gained this
Lutta?
In fact, if the guy
not batted and was
saved by the gongue,
you got two rounds,
you got one,
and you got a,
or so,
it's a little
the criteria,
of what is a
a very, a
real big, a
great greheer,
can take a soco
in the car,
to be all the
face,
get to the final,
he goes to
come to the strangulament,
finalize,
and gain.
Or,
which got
who got
not what took
the soco
in the
case,
not what
was the
but it was
what was
what was
submitted.
And this
criteria
of realistico,
I would have
to do that
for the
time to
see who
will decide
this
this
there's a
lot of
a marraiser
in a
criteria
that not
the
people say
I'm
I'm
I don't
think I
don't think
all the
lot of
all the
that are defined by a knockout fantastic,
or so, a new chave.
Or,
or the MMA,
today is a little entertainment,
and the conduct of art martial
is a little bit left the side.
The people want to see
more the sensations.
In your time,
of a young,
in the auge,
you were one of the
most well-pagued,
the most well-pagued,
the most of the most
name, if not the
major name, the Valetud,
and considering,
and there had a propost
million-a-millionary,
as you said for great
luthas, considering the
how is paid
today to Conan Magregu's
in the money fights of
the life,
how a young Victor
Hickson Gray
would have to be
to make a
little like this
you said a lot of
a lot of Valle-Tood
against John Jones
and a Miotit.
Look,
the idea
that came
for the last
of a lot
important,
not is
doing,
because today
the people,
for example,
the Magreggar
with the
Mayweather, was a lot where it was a
very simple, where I'd just anticipated that the Mayweather
would have gained. And the guy
got 70 million dollars, 100 million, I'd get a fortune.
Or, or so, to make a range commercial, I don't
have idea of how it would be made, how it would
be it. But in terms of
impolocation, of motivation, to
to fight, the idea was to bring the name of Jiu-Jitsu
in the most high level possible. Or so,
depending on the situation,
even if I'd
would be able to
because it was a
thing interesting
for the Jujitsu,
for my career,
for my visibility,
for the possibilities
futures.
Of course,
in the concept
of the
new business that
is a lot
gratuit,
but money
not would be the
relevant for me
in a moment,
maybe
maybe,
after a
that I would
me establishes
as a
other,
a other
would be a thing of I
would discuss the
Boulsa,
before any other
other thing.
But to
enter in the
market, to
start to put
the Rolofort
in my direction,
I would
have to do
do you to do
do that do
whatever
nothing.
I would be
going to be
going to
be a
million
to be
the people
not,
because the
people don't
think of a
person of a
great, with this
aggressive
this
challenge and
we'd be
to this
guy, the
would be
a thing
the
money would
would be the
point
more important
of the
negotiation. It would more the honor, the
fear of a manor, the technique of Jiu-Jitsu, the
imprevisibility of a regra imprevisible, with more
rounds. It would be a thing mehawka, so it would be a
thing to shocker the M.MA and the
fans. We don't have a
young Hickson in 2022, but we have, in
certain of form, your DNA,
and, being carried by the Cron, that you
said a little, that he was called a
now a little, that he
construed a career
very great in Japan
before F.C.
and to turn the
first Grace to win
there,
from the time of Royce.
What do you
see when you see
your son in action
in an octagon?
Imagine that you
bat, a nervousism
different of when,
for example,
you'd be a
bathele in a teq
that exists in
you also the
nervousism of
the impervisibility
to be prepared to
the death.
How is to
you see the
family now?
I'm enche to
the world,
because I see
that he's
seeing a tradition
a legado,
but even
the nature of the event
today is the nature of an event
where you need to be much more physical
than technical, than
engaged in a more style.
Everyone knows Jiu-Gitz,
everyone knows boxing,
everyone has a pair of the
weight to fight, or so,
it has a loter, it was a
more athletic, more physical, more
explosive, more
of moment, because
it is very aggressive
for the body.
The training
what you do you do is aggressive,
the diet is aggressive,
the lute is much
the force in a period
in a period of time,
or the people don't have
afraid to get tired
because,
before to get the
the ring,
the bell,
no, the gongo,
or so it's a
thing much more
more previsible
that does the
practicant a sensation
much more of
control, but
even though,
it's much more
imprevisible
in the sense of
who will gain the
because the two practically
work on the same element, the two
come forth to get to
get to patina in the
lama and get accelerated until
to end up the gasoline,
so it's a really
very intense
and not is the
same thing that I
thought, the
strategy.
Today, when I
see the Cron
compete, I don't
enter to get to
get to your coach,
say what he has to
do, I mean
I'm obeysso and
I understand and
respect the practice
that he's
been doing,
with the guys who are
partners who are
the time
of the methodology
to train with a methodology
to train
with the methodology
to look
that many
times me
disagrada
see the
cron to
someone
not a thing
I don't
I don't me
I don't me
I don't me
I'm not
I'd
do it
and I see he
he's doing he
is he's
he's confident
that he's
he's trying
that he's
trying to
he's
he's
he doesn't
a bit
the field
the strategy
perfect
to go to
go to
the way of the force, of the training, of the competition.
And this differentiates a little
of how I see.
Even so, I don't discuss with him,
in an argument, I respect what he
thinks and how he looks, because
the mentality and all the
strategy is a little different.
If you were the coach of his, what would
would be the form with he
would, what you would, what
would, what would
be, to give a performance
like the Lott of Cabo Swanson,
that he had this,
we could, let's say, this
concourse of
brabeza,
let's go to
try a porrada
and see who
will be in
the final,
but he
ended who
he's not used
the better
arm of his
which is the
jiu-gits.
Exactly.
You don't
have to be
emotional when
the lute.
I think the
Cron, he
was emotional, he
wanted to
to prove
to him
and for the
friends of his
he could
he would be
that he
had a
no, that he
didn't
be worried
in a technique
subtle and
delicate and
get a
He was very fast, without
to be a carina-liped with a carina-liped of a girl.
He said, well, I want to prove that I'm a man,
that I'm in this middle here,
because I can't bring.
So he provo-proped to him that he has a heart,
that he has a gas, that he can't a pressure.
But this was no one of my
this was confirmed,
it was a bit of a man,
who is a big who is a a grower.
What he showed to me
was the fault of the capacity
to strategically to work on the point
fraco of the adversary.
I never liked to bathe a head with
with a little bit of the
guy when he's distracted,
surprise,
I'm surprised,
so I don't go
to go to
go to go to
simply by the
door that's
the way
the way
fast to gain.
The more
more efficient,
the more
more than
more traumatism
for,
if I could
get the
ten seconds that
he can't
the more
possible.
So,
with this,
with this,
I'm
being able to be able to be a man,
as a, a good-for-the-line
structural, that the Jiu-Jitzsche has to
to do your life fast.
So I believe that he would have to train a box.
The way that he'd be experienced
to be sufficient to know what he could...
But to use this box,
to enter in the area of action
and immediately transform the box
for the Jiu-Jitsu.
Not to be thinking in getting the guy in the box
or to pack thinking and to try a porrada with a guy in the box
box to
make that
to show that
he's able
to work in
any type of
he proved
this but it's
a little short
of the victory
and I think it
was not was
not the ideal
you're not
the corner of him
against the
campbosonson
in the
last year
after Alex
Casserer and
you don't
be there
when we
will see the
Chrome
of the VAT
this is the
maybe you
may be the
most
I'm the
question that I
where the
where we're
where we're
when we're
going to
see the
next
his next one of his own
actually,
we're doing
a space
to one for
one for the other
we're just
we've had
some little
arguments and
now he's
got with the
he's moved to
Montana
he's there
with an
academy
new,
he's
not exactly
what are
the plans
of him
but I'm
I'm
I'm just
I'm a
guy who
he is a
kind of
a potentiality
great
not just for
a great
professor,
a great
man,
for him, I'm also curious,
like everyone, to know what he will do
in the next.
Just for we finish
this excellent bat-papo,
just thank you very
for your time,
because I know that
the video is
going to ask you.
I'd want to you
want to ask about
experience that you
have in 2012
here in
the Rio,
as the promoter
of the master
of combat,
why didn't
do this event
that you
did this event that you
helped
to create here
in New Guinea?
Well,
the idea, the
concept,
was good,
because,
for example,
don't let
nobody's be saved by the gongo.
If you gain in a position
wrong, you have to
go out of that position
wrong until the
gongue bathe, or
that you're not
a salvo in impotice
in any impotice
some.
There are some
concepts that I had
put in the time
that I thought
that would have
to do a
idea was good.
But it happened
of the
partrocines and
the thing
not to end
to the way
we had to
we'd we'd, and the group that organized
really decided not to
not to go ahead with the event.
And when you said, there had various ideas different,
the pesage was on the same day of the
the lutechre, roundes more long, the public
votable, the public would vote,
by the decision final.
You were one of the juizzo, the
arbiter was the third element
to decide if the lute was for points.
What of these differences that the event
had, these differentials,
you think would be beneficial to the MA
today, that maybe the UFC
should adopt the great events?
Look, at a level of entertainment,
of entertainment,
the mudance,
she doesn't come to
augment the entertainment,
it comes to augment the realism
that the lute will be implicated,
so the fact
of the loter not
be saved by the gongo,
it's,
it's the final of the
because if you were salve
by the gong, the rounds
anterior can make you
win the fight.
But if you're not
for salve by the gong,
you can have gained
all the rounds
anterior and you
will be finalized
in that last minute.
So, the idea
that I did
these muddances
not exactly
to create an event
more sensational.
But it's to
create a certain
major in the
head of the
lot of the
competitors of
who is really
the better
there in
and with this
adjustments, the
thing really
would be a little more definitive,
not too
as respect of the interpretation
of the judges and jurors,
but, yes,
a thing that you don't have
like, you practically
not need to judge
if the thing
is very well structured.
I think it's for
there the thing,
I think the idea
of an event of
valetude,
not deve attend
simply to the concept
of interter the public,
to see those
things violent, the
blood, the bench
vowing, the
dismay, a spinning
kick, but
to understand
that the process
of the lot of
a loter, as
a vez, he
apennie in the
first, to
capitalize, to
get to get
to get to
get to
then he, at
a little
little bit of
that definition
of the
but if
were to him
a little
more of time,
he would
get to
get into that
concept
where he
had been
in the
beginning
and these
things are
better
are more
this, this, this, this, this, this,
this, this, this, this, this capacity to be
this, really demonstrate,
who's, who's,
not that he's going to,
the other, that he's,
that he looked,
to, for, to,
you know,
in this,
in this, in this,
new, in this,
maybe,
this idea,
this is a,
a way,
of the media,
like, you're,
very difficult, you,
know, of,
money,
a, and it's a,
thing,
I never think in
a,
, I'm,
to participate, be a reference,
to give a guide,
the directions,
the things, I thought,
I mean with a idea,
I came with a representativity,
but I'm not a businessman,
I'm a guy of promotion.
If there were another promoter
interested to do something,
I can enter in an
understanding,
maybe be the face
of the event.
You're an ambassador.
Exactly.
But the idea of this,
to me
not
not
not have
no problem
no
my preoccupation
with this
no
my
preoccupation
now
my
my
platform
rickson
point
academy
to
bring
a
idea
to
get
so
just
the
champions
to
the
men
but
to the
part
of the
pyramid
that
are the
people
not
are
people
and that
have
to
be
to
the
notion
with the
notion
of the
of respiration, with a notion of
clarity mental
and emotional to be able to be more
a better, medical,
better policeial,
a better,
what businessman.
I think the Jujits
have a capacity very
very strong to
help the people.
And I'm more focused
now in to try
this, this knowledge that
transcends the
practice and
a, and a
Abraza the part spiritual, the
part mental, for you to turn a person
more empowered and to be more calm,
a better father, better friend, etc.
What a great. I'd like you'd
thank you to thank you. I'd say
for this one hour of conversation here.
