With each dominating win, he seemed to grow closer and closer to invincibility. Unbeatable. That's a dangerous label for a mixed martial artist. History has shown just when everyone starts [...]
Q: First of all, congratulations on your win over Mike Bernardo. How much of a challenge do you feel that fight was for you? A: That was a great challenge to me. With Mike’s punching power and boxing skills, things could be dangerous for me mainly if I wouldn’t make him doubt from the very beginning of the fight. And I had to keep reminding [...]
[...] the ladder of fortune so fast! A decent young man that choose kickboxing as his profession.

[...] And Filho was smart too. He did well in controlling the pace. Other fighters get dragged into aggressive exchanges, but Filho was different. His opponent seems to be winding down. Maybe for Filho, it looks like that he is moving in the slow motion. He is good at developing a fight like that, I think.. And there was Mark Hunt. Hasn't he [...]
[...] question things. All I know is what they (PRIDE) give me. Some people say that I asked for Fedor, which is absolutely not true. I’m not that crazy. (laughs) I’d like to win this thing, you know? I’m not saying I can’t beat Fedor, but obviously, the easiest road to the finals is the best road and I wouldn’t call him the easiest road at all. [...]
[...] are that way, but for me I’m proud of being a wrestler. I had such many offers to be in the shows but I didn’t want to be influenced by political power. Fans are not following me if I take the offer when I have an uncertain feeling. PB: But you came to a full understanding with the front side of PRIDE this time. O: It was not really a [...]

[...] hard right now so I can give a good fight for the fans. My condition is very good. I’m already prepared to become the new Middleweight Champion. I will be the one that wins the Grand Prix. I know how Wanderlei fights very well. He’s a dangerous fighter but I will win, whether we are standing or on the ground. Thank you all for your support [...]
[...] ran and wrestled. He always seemed to have more energy than his friends, and at the age of 15 he had a vision—as others might see Christ—of himself standing on a stage, winning the world body-building championship. Against the advice of parents and peers, young Arnold devoted his life to that goal, training an unprecedented six hours a day. [...]
