EL:First of all congratulations you beating Allistair and Arona and winning the belt. What are your thoughts on that.
SH:Thank tou very much first I must thank my God and saviour jesus my teammates, My family I felt real good I was concerned against Allistair going all out I wanted to save some energy in the final. Allistair came at me 100 % I felt his power and was not concerned in the beginning but after he took me down I panicked a bit I knew I was not fighting at full capacity an i was nervous I calmed own after Ludimar started shouting. I knew he had long limbs but i also knew he woudn't go for triangle's and omo plata's I needed to gain the guard and put pressure on him and when we stood up i put pressure on the guard i was constantly going for the Muay Thai clinch after a while I felt that he became tired very soon I knew I had to KO him the I wanted to soccer kick him like we trained but he held it well so I thought pass the guard and then mount and kick but he was alraedy having in difficult with my punches and I didn't want to risk my position.
With Arona I was so pumped I felt like I didn't even fight before I just wanted to keep it standing but he took me down he was very strong my omoplata didn;t work well because he was pulling hard. after that he drained I was not even trying I wanted to finish with stomps after the punches but he was out already laughing.
EL: What do you feel about Wanderlei loosing to Arona would it have been different if you would have faced him.
SH:I dont know maybe I think me and Wanderlei know each other very well that maybe we would have gone to a decision than a KO but if he brawls I brawl haha laughing very hard. I think Wanderlei was bought out of his gameplan. He was really trying to KO Arona he told to me after the match he got frustrated with Arona's tactics.
EL:Who would you like to fight next. Would you like to fight Wanderlei for a unification.
SH I would like to fight Nakumura he impressed me with Igor he neutralized every technique from Igor. About Wanderlei we are teammates I think me and Wanderlei dont want to fight each other but if pride puts us together it will happen I am happy already Murilo and my friends are really happy with my results. I would like to fight Babalu he defeated me a long time ago I have become better we my BJJ and I want to fight soon I said this to Pride but they say it will be difficult. Pride doesn't allow to fight in a other organisation but I would like to fight him.
EL:What did you think of Cro Cop and Fedor fight?
SH:I didn't see the fight since yesterday I loved the fight they both stood up fighting. I think Fedor cannot be defeated now I think if there was a extra round Cro Cop will be knocked out standing by fedor. Cro Cop defended well against the ground punches from fedor I thought it would be finished when Fedor got him to the ground. I saw Fedor in the press conference he congraluated me he said you are going to be bigger than Wanderlei laughing he is a very good guy. He said my belt was better looking.
EL:Thank you time's up there are calling you ok mucho bregado
SH:Thank you to my fans I will be back soon thank you.
