How do you feel now that you've defeated Nastula, a man who's been called the strongest in Europe? 
Aleksander: It was an honor to be able to fight Nastula. My strategy was to grapple with him on the ground because I wanted to prove that Russian sambo is stronger than judo. 

You're on a winning streak. Do you think you're going to have to start thinking about fighting your brother? 
Aleksander: I think I will fight my brother in the Grand Prix, after his hand is healed. I've fought him 3 times before in sambo matches. I think that the time for us to fight in PRIDE has finally arrived. 
 

Do you want a rematch with Arona? 
Fedor: I haven't received an offer from Arona yet and I haven't made one either but I'm always ready to fight. 
 

That was an overwhelming win. Were you planning on flying in like that? 
Fedor: I was motivated when I watched Alexander's fight and I intended to fly in from the beginning. 

How is your right hand? 
Fedor: Actually, I hurt it in this fight again. I will have surgery on it at the end of January. I won't be able to draw big drawings like I like to do but I want to fight in the Grand Prix. 

When did you create your new team? 
Fedor: We don't have a new team but we are gathering new, young fighters. I don't know when we will become a team but I will think about it in the New Year. 


How were you previous 3 fights with Alexander in sambo? 
I won but I took a lot of Alexander's throws and punches. That was 2 years ago so I don't know what would happen if we fought now. I won in sambo by submissions.
