Hi Marco, how are you?

I'm fine training hard for my match.

You were one of the fighters who participated in The Challenger Muaythai. A Muaythai reality show which was recorded in Malaysia and will soon be broadcasted worldwide. How was it to be part of this big TV show?

I was one of the challengers in Malaysia and it was a big experience, to live in a house full of fighters was new to me.... sleeping, eating,training and becoming friends,while at the same time fighting for the same title.

What is it for you that make real MuayThai so special?

What makes real muay thai so special is the fact that not every fighter has got the guts to fight with such rules. My passion with this sport started with real muay thai.



Your next challenge, and maybe the biggest challenge in your career, is The MuayThai Premier League. What do you think about The MuayThai Premier League?

My next challenge is the MPL and I think that this organisation is very professional. To set up a league like this is extraordinary and unique so I'm glad to be a part of it.

You fight in the middleweight division of The MuayThai Premier League in poule B. What do you know about your opponents Jordan Watson and Ky Hollenbeck in this poule?

I fight in the middleweight division of the MPL in poule B and what i know about my opponents is that they are hard fighters. Jordan Watson was also one of the challengers in Malaysia and I know his style.



The other fighter in this poule is Nieky Holzken. You already fought him once and on September the 2nd you will face him again in the ring. What do you know about Nieky Holzken?

The other fighter in this poule is Nieky Holzken and I know him very well. I fought against him before and now it's time for a revenge. Nieky is a strong and technical fighter and I respect him as a person but he is going to have a hard time on the 2nd of September

You already fought Nieky Holzken once and lost to him on KO, only a few seconds before the end of the fight. Can you tell us something about this fight and what went wrong in those last seconds of the fight?

When I fought Nieky I lost on KO a few seconds before the end of the fight. That fight I blame it on myself because I was 3 rounds ahead on points and instead of holding back in the last few seconds I got forward. Nieky saw an opportunity and he succeeded.

This first fight was on K-1 rules but on September the 2nd it will be on full MuayThai rules. This is going to be a totally other fight?

The first fight against Nieky was on K1 rules and now we fight full muaythai. I know that he is going to come strong, so I have to come stronger.

September the 2nd in Los Angeles Marco Pique will have his revenge on Nieky Holzken?

September the 2nd The Sniper will take his revenge on Nieky holzken.



Who do you think will be your greatest concurrent for the tittle in the middleweight division of The MuayThai Premier League?

Who do I think is going to be my greatest concurrent for the title in the middleweight division of the MPL: it's going to be myself because every fighter is strong and wants to win the title so I have to improve myself to eliminate my opponents.

Do you have a message to all the MuayThai fans in the world that are looking forward to September the 2nd to see the first show of The MuayThai Premier League and to see your fight with Nieky Holzken?

My message to all the muaythai fans who are looking forward to see the first show of the MPL and see my fight with nieky holzken:The excitement that we had the first time we fought is going to be more...the expectations bigger so it will be spectacular.
