【師・堀口恭司】UFC復帰戦を中村倫也が大応援!

Welcome to the Triaman channel. This time, I’m going to do my best, Ki-san. Good luck. I’ve been feeling really excited. Please. Yes. I heard there’s a fight in June of this year. Yes. Yes. Yes. So, when I heard that, I was honestly wondering how you felt as a Aman when you heard about it. Well , I didn’t hear about it, but, well, I was in ATT when he got injured, and I was close to thinking it would be the same opponent next time, so yes. I mean, but, well, how can I put it? When he injured his chest bone, I was like, “Maybe he should just go ahead and fight,” and there were people who had already bought tickets. I said that, but personally, I was like, “He’s a great professor, but I really want him to be in top condition,” so, well, that’s what I meant. Well, I was saying that it might be a little too much, but the video that came out this week just before the fight looked like he was in good condition, so yes. I’m excited that he’ll finally be able to make his comeback at such a good time. When I first saw the video of my opponent, Granbeko, winning, I felt something like that. 298: Yes. At UFC 298, yes . No, it was 311. 31: It was when I fought Gafurov. 1: It was before the fight, and we were in the same section, so we were in the same waiting room. Khabib was there, and I thought he was a big, fighter-like guy. Wow. He was about the same height as me, maybe a little taller. But he was also quite thin, yes. I think you look at thin legs and wonder if they’ll be able to handle a kick. Yes. He forgot his mitts, so he asked me to lend him one. Oh, we had that conversation. But Taka-san said he wouldn’t have lent them to me if he wasn’t a lukewarm grandson, and he really takes good care of his equipment, so maybe he lent them to me because he was a lukewarm grandson . Well, that’s just a side note, yes. Ulanbekov himself is a fighter who can neatly and compactly switch between grappling and striking, and he seems to be able to balance both kicks. Once he’s in the grappling position, he’ll do a body lock takedown . Well, he does use a bit of stiffness, but he does do a body lock takedown . My impression is that he likes that . Now that it’s a teacher’s match, how do you think it’ll play out? It’s a bit presumptuous to make predictions, but the way Kyoji uses his feet in the stand-up is unique, not in other countries, not even in Japan, and it’s really special. His footwork, yeah. I think it’ll really come into play in the UFC arena. Yes. He used to slip a lot in Raijin’s ring, and they say the ground is rough in every match. Above the UFC detectives , the ground is rough, so I think a fighter with strong circular and lateral movements will thrive there. Yes. Just when you think you can fight freely and can’t catch him, he’ll feint. Well, that’s probably because his grip is strong, so he’ll probably apply pressure, and I’ll use his calves and stomach. I think he’ll wear him down well. Umbekov has a pretty big frame, and he’s been putting a lot of pressure on Kyoji from the beginning, but he can’t keep up with Kyoji, and he’s been wanting to take some calf or stomach hits and go for a grapple, but I think he’ll be able to do that too. Absolutely. Yes. So I’ll just keep wearing him down with strikes, and I’ll mix in some takes , which will be stable, and I think that could lead to a KO. Of course, I think that’s pretty good. Of course, I think it’s crazy to be able to imagine this against Umbekov. It’s amazing to even be able to think of a path to victory against Umbekov. It really is today. Umbekov has no openings. That’s right. Basically, yes. He’s strong in striking wrestling. He’s a fighter who can do ground fighting, but he’s totally exhausted. Oh, with this grapple, he’s totally fine. Of course, I’m sure Ulanbekov will be training with that in mind, but the difference in speed in that situation will definitely be evident, so I think he’ll take the initiative and make him impatient and throw off his rhythm. I see. I think so . I’m a lot more fired up than usual. I’m completely in. Actually, I think Ulanbekov is in the top 5, or at least a fighter who wouldn’t be surprised to beat a top 3. I think that’s why I’d like to see him fight against Albaji or Cape, but he seems to have had a few lightweight failures, so I’m not sure if he’s been legged, but he’s a fighter who’s really strong, even though it’s annoying. I’m sure the UFC knows that too. Ulanbekov has a 17-2 record, so that’s certainly a factor. Is it appropriate to choose Ulanbekov as an opponent in his comeback? Well, that’s something that would be a cause for concern for a normal fighter, but Kyoji isn’t worried about it at all. I see. There’s no point worrying about his comeback fight or the fact that it’s in a foreign country. All he can do is enjoy it. Yes. Well, it doesn’t really matter to him because he’s the type of person who can just go from there and worry about that. Well, the hurdles are certainly high, of course. Yeah. Yeah. I think he probably has a really strong sense of responsibility too. Anyway, doesn’t that reflect his life? Rather than worrying about what I felt about him being around him, he left everything behind and went to America alone, and has been doing it almost alone for over 10 years. His system when it comes to martial arts, yes . Or rather, his spirit, yes. I think his level of determination is probably incomparable, yes . I think that means he’s an incredibly straightforward person. That’s right. Yes. He’s an amazing person to be able to do that. He jokes around in his daily life, just like he’s serious about it. Yes. He throws straight punches and stuff, so it’s like… no mountains. At the gym, there’s always a bar around the instructor. Ah, I see. Sometimes it’s a little lonely practicing without him. If he’s there, it’s like Kyoji-san is telling the person who overtakes him to give a straight pass . That’s amazing. Really. Yes. So totally. I think he could clear these kinds of matches too. Yeah. That’s right. Kyoji-san’s yeah . I imagine Roy to be the epitome of love. Yes. Yeah. He’s really something, yeah. Like, so cute. Like a straightforward dog that goes “wow.” Ah, it’s so fun to hear that, so it’s fun. Yes. It’s also really fun to go to Kyo-san’s house. Yeah. Roy-kun’s presence is huge. He’s not even family to Kyo-san anymore. That’s right. Yes. Professor. Kyoji-san can definitely do it. Go for it. Thank you everyone for watching. Thank you for watching until the end .
