Near from his Godz of War debut, new North American MMA event, which will be hold on July 21, Milton Vieira talked with TATAME about his expectations for the fight and the trains with Darrel Gholar at BTT. Confident of the victory, Miltinho also bet on Murilo Bustamante, BTT leader that will fight at this event too. “I had never trained as much as train now and I going to value what I done, to try to submit or to knock out. I am ready to finish the fight before the end”, said Miltinho, that also talked about a return bout against Luiz Azeredo (Chute Boxe) and his team mate win, Rousimar Toquinho, at the UFC. Check out below the complete interview.
What is your expectation for this fight?
As better as possible. Thanks to God everything is going right and I am confident in my victory.
Do you know who your opponent is? What will be your strategy?
I intend to impose my fight rhythm, valuating the preparation I made and trying to finish the fight as faster as possible. I am going to face the North-American David Gardner. I am very well trained in everything. I had never trained as much as train now and I going to value what I done, to try to submit or to knock out. I am focus on my Muay Thai and at the submission that is my game. If he fall down he will stay. I am ready to finish the fight before the end.
How were the trainings with Darrel Gholar?
It was very good. He helped me lot in the final phase of the Wrestling train, training the take downs and sprawl... It was very good his came, he accelerated the train. I want to take the opportunity and thank everyone who is helping a lot in my training. Everybody is giving me a lot of help, and I want to thank my sponsorship ‘Oi Fm’.
Do you have plans to go to the United States? Train at BTT
Las Vegas ?
This time I'm not guaranteed to stay there because I want to comeback and keep training. I have a lot to straighten out here and I can stay there, I come and go. In another opportunity maybe, I have a contract for three fights and, who knows, I can stay there for a time.
What do you expect for Murilo Bustamante fight?
He also well trained, he trained a lot and I think... I don’t think I am sure that everything is going to be all right. He is going to impose his rhythm and I can’t see any problems for him in this fight.
Azeredo is also at Godz of War… Do you expect a return bout against him at the event?
I don’t expect a return bout, I do not expect anything. I cheer on his victory, a Brazilian victory is always good. I think he is going to be victorious, analyzing him and his opponent. If we have another bout against him OK, if it not it’s also OK.
What did you think about Toquinho bout at the UFC?
I already expected that. I talked to everyone, I knew it would be like that. I even thought that the submission took some times, but it is normal, his debut... I was very happy. He deserves much more than already happened with him. I think his way is written in the stars, he certainty is going to make great fights, is going to submit, and, in the future, for sure he is going to dispute the belt, I do not know against whom, but will have the opportunity. For his technical and star that he has, for all he has been doing... He is very dedicated and deserves all that is happening.
