Interview with the Fighters
JAMES TEHUNA
Q: Jamie you recently won your fight against
Priscus on Cage Fighting Championship 9, can you tell us how the fight
went?
A: Give this guy a chance and he'll make it hell for you. Both of us
made mistakes in there, he just made more than me.
Q: Did
the fight go as
you expected?
A: I
thought I'd catch
him on our feet but I think at one stage he caught me? ha ha oh well. I
ended
up taking his game plan and using it against him.
Q: Can you tell us a
little about the secret training you did for the
fight with Priscus Fogagnolo?
A: His game plan in all of his fights have been the same - pinning guys
on their back and punching or submitting them to win, so it wasn't too
hard to
figure out what I needed to work on. I found an olympic wrestler Igor
Praporshikov that beat him not too long ago in a submission comp. Brad
Morris
put on the beef to120 kilos and had turns throwing me around like a rag
doll as well, and Fabio Galeb a heavyweight BJJ Blackbelt that came
fourth
in the world champs. Also working with Strength and Conditioning guru
Craig Catterick who works with Danny Green, Parra Eels and the Origin
side.
Q: You are now in the
finals against Anthony Perosh who beat Dave
Frendin on the last round of the CFC eliminator. Did you see the fight
if so what did you think of it?
A: I did see it yeah (we all have good and bad fights) and I'm
expecting him to be a whole lot
better
for this one.
Q: can you tell us
how you think your fight with Anthony will go?
A: Who knows.. my predictions seem to go in the opposite direction, so
I might as well go with a scissor kick finishing with a wrist lock
somehow..
All I know is where ever the fight ends up I'm going to do my best to
finish it, and make it exciting to watch at the same time.
Q: What are your
thoughts on Anthonys' Strengths and Weaknesses?
A: I met him in the finals in a submission wrestling comp the year
before and lost to him on points over a 10 or 12 minute match? can't
remember.. his BJJ is awesome.
Also having fought in the UFC against good guys is an experience that I
don't have.
Q: What special
training are you doing for this fight?
A: I think I have the best training partners to work with in Australia.
Kickboxing with World Champions Steve and Stuart Mckinnon, BJJ with
heavyweight black belt
Fabio Galeb, Wrestling with Olympic and Commonwealth champ Igor
Praporshikov (All these guys are sitting at my weight so it's perfect)
Strength and Conditioning with
Craig Catterick, and my strong ground n pound game. This is what I do
now, I don't work, I don't teach classes, I train to fight and I've
been hittin it for the last 3 months.
Q: What is next after
this tournament? Do you have anything lined up
you can tell us about either in Australia or overseas?
A: Nothing as yet
Q: Who do you rate as
Pound for Pound best fighter in Australia right
now?
A: Out of all the fighters in Australia -Vic Darchinyan
Q: Do you have any
sponsors who are supporting you through the
tournament that you would like to thank?
A: Pain Away - anti-inflammatory spray and massage cream. I use it all
the time ..you all know me with my injuries! http://www.painaway.com.au/
Excessive Force fight wear - New fight gear online check em out at
http://www.excessiveforce.com.au/
Phils fitness & Bodybuilidng - Big Phil supplies me with all my
supplements I need for training http://www.philsfitness.com.au/
Pedro who has helped me out alot over these past 2 months
Mitch at Dezigna Driveways
ANTHONY PEROSH
Q: Anthony you recently won your fight against Dave Frendin on Cage Fighting Championship 9, can you tell us how the fight went?
A: I was able to clinch with him against the cage and hit him with knees to the stomach. I then took him down. As soon I was on top
I felt him trying to get his breath. He tapped out. Later I found out that the knees broke his rib.
Q: Did the fight go as you expected?
A: I was happy with how it went.
Q: You spent some time training for this fight in the States can you tell us who you were training with and a little about the type of training you did there?
A: I trained at Greg Jacksons for 2 weeks, Randy Couture’s for 1 week and at Carlos Machado’s for 1 week. The main difference between training
here and over there is that here are a lot more professionals on the mat every day.
Q: You are now in the finals against James Tehuna who beat Priscus on the last round of the CFC eliminator. Did you see the fight if so what did you think of it?
A: I did see the fight. Priscus did not fight the right game but James did and was able to capitalise.
Q: Can you tell us how you think your fight with James will go?
A: I will take him down, ground and pound him and then choke him out!
Q: What special training are you doing for this fight?
A: I have not done anything special for this fight. My training always consists of balanced training of BJJ, Wrestling, Thai Kickboxing and conditioning.
Q: What is next after this tournament? Do you have anything lined up you can tell us about either in Australia or overseas?
A: I have no plans as of yet after this.
Q: Who do you rate as Pound for Pound best fighter in Australia right now?
A: From a results point of view I would say it is George Sotiropoulos.
Q: Do you have any sponsors who are supporting you through the tournament that you would like to thank?
A: I would like to thank my new sponsors Hitman Fight Gear and Sinister.
