The heaviest fighter on the Rumble Of The Kings card has his game plan set and it tops with a pounding of the undefeated home fighter Kruth. |
|
Japanese Judo black belt and Former DEEP heavyweight Champion Yusuke Kawaguchi (13-4-0) accepted to become Ray Sefo’s short notice replacement 4 weeks ago, but there was a slight problem by doing so. The weight limit was set at -105 Kilograms and Yusuke was then well over 120 Kilos at the time consequently forcing the strong grappler to carry out some serious weight cutting.
– I have been following my regular training schedule not making any big changes for this fight, but I have been struggling with my weight. Four weeks ago I weighed 123 kilos and I just made the weigh in limit this morning. It has been challenging loosing that much in such short period of time but I feel good now. The considerable weight loss will most likely not be as significant on fight night as Yusuke certainly will gain more than a few kilos by eating and drinking properly prior to the fight, when putting that in to comparison with Jörgen Kruth’s weight (96.9 Kilos) it is clear that there might still be a weight difference between the two at almost 20 kilos in favor for Yusuke when the action begins. Kilos that without a doubt will be of good use as Yusuke aims to give the undefeated MMA Swede his first loss. – Jörgen Kruth is a famous fighter in Japan, he is known for his K-1 fights and he is a strong striker. I have seen his MMA fights on video so I know what I am up against. I am looking forward to this fight very much and I expect it to become a high pace brawl, a outburst of power. And when it comes to how it will end Yusuke puts on a big smile and confidently says. – I will win the fight and I will do so by using my favorite technique, Ground and Pound.
