latest JZ interview from DREAM website
DREAM | ニュース | 「復帰戦の相手は、ぜひヨアキムにお願いし たいね」J.Z.カルバンインタビュー
DREAM: JZ Calvan! looks like you are enjoying Hawaii!
JZ: very much lol
DREAM: so why are you here?
JZ: I've been training with Melvin Manhoef at ATT for a month now, we've become very close.. Melvin's team mate Badr Hari is fighting here in Hawaii so I came here to support him and to go surfing as well... Hawaii has nice beaches!
DREAM: so how is your left knee?
JZ: I had a surgery and it was succesful. plus rehab has been good too.. its getting better
DREAM: when do you plan to make a come-back?
JZ: in about 2weeks, I plan to start grappling a bit. and if it goes well, I want to fight again at the end of this year. and I would like to fight Joachim Hansen!
DREAM: last time you fought Hansen was a SHOOTO about 4 years and 7 months ago..
JZ: yeah, so if I do fight him, it will be a re-match
DREAM: you lost via decision last time
JZ: I've changed so much that I'm a completely different person now. so I'm confident I can beat him so when I come back, I want to challenge Hansen. I'm sure fans would like to see that too
DREAM: yes we do! did you watch Aoki vs Hansen at DREAM5?
JZ: yeah I did, seems like Hansen studied Aoki well and it was a good fight
DREAM: the LW GP was very disappointing for you
JZ: I know why I lost to Aoki and it was a good experience, although the result wasn't good. I think the GP itself was a great event. the last 4 fighters were all great fighters and its simply amazing to see them fight 2 fights in one day. the GP was won by a reserver (Hansen), and I love the tournament system. some times I think to myself, 'what if I was the reserver?' but I think god wanted me to recover from my injury.
DREAM: do you want to fight Aoki again?
JZ: of course! I want a re-match! I'm going to win, I don't want to lose to anyone
DREAM: Manhoef will be taking part in MW GP, what do you think of him?
JZ: He is a smart fighter and also physical, he's been working on his grappling everyday at ATT and he is a fast learner! plus there is no doubt about his striking abilities. He will win the MW GP!
DREAM: OK, many people want to see you fight again, any last words for your fans?
JZ: Thank you to all my fans in Japan, I love to fight in Japan and I love the fans too. sorry for disappointing many fans who supported since HERO*S but once I recover from my injur, I will be stronger and I will become the DREAM champion so wait for me. See you again in Japan!
