Ronaldo Jacaré’s debut at Strikeforce couldn’t have been better. After fitting an arm lock, the black belt finished the fight against Matt Lindland with a tight arm triangle choke. After the victory, Jacaré talked to TATAME about expectations to the future, the dream to win his first belt on MMA and a lot more.

What did you think about the fight?

It was a good fight. Wem ade a strategy and I could make it. I thank to X-Gym team for supporting me with (Josuel) Distak, my  MMA trainer, (Rogério) Camões, physical preparing,

Cesário, Boxe trainer, Tonico, from Muay thai, and all my train partners.

Did you imagine that it would end so fast?

I didn’t, but I was calm and I knew I was in great shape.

You had faced before (on ADCC) and you submitted him too...

I believe a lot in my Jiu-Jitsu and it made the difference again.

What did Strikeforce guys thought about your fight? Did they say something on the backstage?

They said I made a beautiful fight and I was strong.

Did someone said something about your return?

Not yet, but I think that this week they must say something. I don’t know if it’s gonna be for the belt but on the right time they’ll put me to fight for the belt.

Dan Henderson, Jake Shields or Jason Miller: if you could choose, with who would you like to fight and how do you think that the fight would be?

Jake Shields... He has the belt.

Gegard Mousasi has the belt of the category above. Do you think about changing category to have this revenge? What would you make different?

I’m a professional athlete and I don’t keep remembering the defeats.

What’s your expectations to 2010?

To make three fights and that one or two have five rounds with five minutes.

Send your message to people who supported you...

I thank God for taking care of me and to all the fans for supporting. I’ll always be ready to be on the cage and make great fights.
