You took a lot of hits. Any damage?

They were on the side, not down the middle, so it doesn't hurt much. 


You never gave up, even when you were in a bad position.

I really wanted to win so I never gave up.


We you able to use what you learned at Takada Dojo?

It was very good.


What was?

It good overall.


What was Sakuraba's advice?

Saving my strength and since this is just my 3rd fight and I don't have much experience, he gave me advice regarding that.


Please tell us a little about your month of training in America and a word to the fans.

America was really great. I think my overall level improved at Matt Hume's gym. I didn't win but I know that I have improved so please cheer for me.


What will you do now?

I want to go to America and train again.
