– While we were talking, Alexander said in a press conference that even from the fight between Rozenstruik and Ngannou, he realized that Rozenstruik was uncomfortable when he was attacked. And who in training camp noticed that detail?
– The entire coaching staff went through many of Rozenstruik’s fights and from day one they started to come up with a fight plan. Probably, everyone together noticed that it was necessary to go ahead and put the pressure on. Maybe even Sasha himself said he should start and put pressure on him, because Jairzinho doesn’t feel very good in such moments.
– Maxim Dedik joined your team before this fight. I would like to joke that he was the first of several thousand people to convince Alexander to kick more often.
– So be it.
– Seriously, Alexander said that the leg is quite easy to hurt on impact. Could it be that Maxim, as an elite karateka, changed something in kicking technique?
– Max is not with us at the first training, we had a contact, a communication, and Alexandre heard it. Probably, Max influenced Sasha to the side that he became more relaxed, more relaxed. I started kicking more often and not worrying that something might fly in response. There was lightness. A lot of time was spent on footwork, and it worked.
– Oleg Taktarov entered this fight with Alexander as the second. Before that, you and him had some sort of fight in the media. Discussed with Alexandre about his presence in combat?
– May I ask you the following question. I just want to talk about Alexander today.
– Alexander had problems when he missed a single hard shot from Minakov and Lewis. Were you afraid that Rozenstruik would do something similar?
– Sasha had the task of keeping her distance. To collect, concentrated from the first minute to the last. He was active, worked as the first number, although he often worked as the second, he pressed. Survived Rozenstruik’s counter-attacks after Sasha’s kicks, as we knew Jairzinho would counter-attack well in such moments. Then the straight line worked and everything went well.
– If you take punches, then Alexander always had a good shot, he even joked about it. Has his straight line always been good?
– Alexandre’s straight line has always been good. In these camps, we were a little worried about this straight line, but it worked. In battle, Sasha either raised his elbow or beat him a little awkwardly, but everything was fine.
– I notice that in MMA fighters, when finishing, very often explode with a rapid series and, on the one hand, they get tired a lot, and on the other hand, many blows pass. But there is no feeling that it is worth ending not with such frequency, but stronger?
– When finishing, the most important thing is control. Hold back and control the situation. Even if you hit, discipline is very important. But we are satisfied with both the finish and the whole duel.
– Alexander said he would be ready to fight again in the near future. He had 4 fights in a year. Can you imagine that he will arrive and you will start a new formation?
– Well why not? Come, meet, discuss. As he decides, so be it. I would love to be at the next fight with the whole coaching staff, and that can probably only happen at the Abu Dhabi tournament in October. In other places, due to visas, it will be problematic to do.
