On Bitteti Combat’s backstage, the heavyweight spoke with TATAME.com about his recovering and the desire to get back to rings.

You’re a little out of the scene after that motorcycle accident. How was your recovering?

Thanks God I could get back to train after a year and two months. I made a shoulder surgery, that was stopping me to fight, but now I’m back to activities and I’m waiting an invitation to be back on fighting as soon as possible.

Are you ready to fight already?

I’m already training everything and feel and no pain, thanks God. Six months ago I had back on training Wrestling strong, Jiu-Jitsu, Muai Thai... I’ll prepare myself, because I want to fight.

Are going to fight on the heavyweight division? How much do you weight now?

Always... I’m with 253 pounds now. But I like to fight with 238, that’s the weight I used to fight and that I feel good.

Where are you training now?

I had to make a shoulder surgery and was training on south of Brazil, but now I’m in Rio to decide where I’m going to stay. I’ll be on the better team and wait for invitations to fight. As I train for a long time with Minotauro and Minotouro, and this team is between the bests, I think I’m gonna stay here with them.

After one year without fighting, what do you think you’ll feel most on your return?

I think that will be the fight, the rhythm. I think I’ll feel this a little bit, but I think that with one or two fights I’ll feel good again to give a show to everybody. I want to come back. I want to make two fights in Brazil, be back on the fight rhythm, then get some contract overseas.
