What did United States guys thought about your victory?
Everybody liked. UFC guys said I’m starting to shine, but I have to continue.
And you won the extra bonus for the submission…
It saved me (laugh).
Do you think about the belt?
I’m not worry about it yet. On the right time UFC will give me the chance. I’m getting experience, feeling more comfortable. I’m not ready yet.
What is need to beat St. Pierre?
St. Pierre is very smart, it’s going to be a chess game. Who gets calmer to annul the game of the other, takes it. He works a lot the takedown defense, the ground, the guard… You have to exchange with him, be aggressive. There are a lot of ways to study.
