In your opinion, what’s the secret of success in martial arts?
To keep going. Never quit.
Many people think that martial arts are not a sport at all, but just violence. What is your message to those people?
It’s an art. Look to the roots. The beginning. To protect the weak, the humble from more imposing forces. This is great.
Nowadays you fight for Bellator. How pleased are you with this partnership?

Extremely.
England has many excellent fighters competing in some of the best organisations. What are the reasons behind this?

Our culture. We love to fight. Ha ha.
