Fedor begins low kick to the mitts of coach.
kicking hard left and right. He must have lots of power,
the trainer is using 2 mitts instead of 1, 1 must not
be enough, too painful?
Fedor is jump roping, must have learned from Michikov,
very smooth like a boxer, good rythym.
Fedor goes back to the building. But its not over yet.
now the last menu, begin ground training inside the
building. Training partner slowly get on top,
they start going hard. Fedor starts in the guard,
but ends up on mount, the ground control he has is
excellent, and Fedor once again start from guard.
is it because the match is soon? I feel lots of
intense emotions, killing aura, now its Fedor
on top, they are breathing hard, sorry, not Fedor, just
his training partner, Fedor is not yet out of breath.
they are maximizing the space in such a small matted
place (9 mats), Fedor's stamina is incredible,
cant imagine that he has been training under the hot
sun for long periods of time before this.
Fedor going for the Kimura from guard, did they slip
from sweat? re do from the middle of mats,
even from bottom (guard) Fedor is not in panick,
he counters quickly even if his opponent comes in
strong, when time to finish, Fedor moves fast like
an animal. Also very good at using legs to keep distance,
partner goes for a guillotine, but able to fend it off,
now from the mount, Fedor's movement seems very clever,
reading how is the opponent going to move next,
Kimura lock attempt was a failure, looks like he hurt
his leg a little. more people watching now, some little
girls too, since Fedor is a local hero, I think they all
know right away what he is doing.
Now all the menu is done, eveything needed to be done
is over. You can see it in his face. the sweat dripping
to the matt is proof of hard work. he is after the belt
once more.
(Fedor) I dont know if it will be hard until I try it.
the problem is that in such a high level as PRIDE,
the match can end instantly, or be pulled into a long
fight with decision, I don't know what is going to happen
just want to do a match that will appeal to the PRIDE fans.
(coach)- making semi finals finals, GranPrix is not the only
thing that is important, its important to win, and there
are many things to learn as you fight. wether it be a
PRIDE GP or local tournament, world tournament, any
event, important is to win with a good strategic plan.
and to get accurate information on what was good and what
was bad. we confirm those things every match. And Fedor
as a sport athlete and father will keep growing.
no matter what event, what result, keep learning new
skills.
(Fedor) I'm always asked if I will win, all I can do is
believe in myself. there are many variables in a match,
and luck can play a role as well. things I cannot control.
get injured and the match gets stopped. I can just have
hope to win, and work my hardest.
-Next day-
Alexandor.Niefuski sports club
Fedor stops by a sports club near by his home,
this is place where he can train and also relax.
he sooths his tired body from the hard training at
the camp in the Sauna with friends.
And then back at home, his daugher Masha changes his
face back to a daddy no different than the rest of us.
Fedor says, the most important thing is family.
And in the comming of tomorrow he will defend his champion status
once again when he gets in the ring,
Fedor will have the eyes of a fighter once again.
For his family which he loves, he fights in Japan,
And That is Fedor's Pride.
(Fedor)
To the PRIDE fans, I would like to send a hot message.
In the near future, I think I can show you the
results of my training. I have put my best efforts
in training for this Gran Prix,
I have been training hard so that I can win and
have you happy with that, so please on August 15th
please come and cheer for me.
