 Shogun MMA is proud to present its premiere event “The Rising,” this August 10th. With plenty of action it’s sure to be something that you are not going to want to miss out on!
Headlining this event will be the 265+ heavy hitters Danny Nejman vs. Matheus Dias. On paper these boys will be looking to bang and this should be a great matchup. These two will be competing for Shogun MMA’s first title belt and a nice bonus to go along with it.
I was lucky enough to catch up with Matheus Dias for a short interview.
What got you into MMA?
A: “I got into MMA, because of my father. He´s a 7th DAN tae-kwon-do fighter, and actually I'm a 2nd DAN fighter, but I got interest principally by the Muay Thai, but I like Jiu-Jitsu too, and then I met Jonas and he presented me to MMA.”
Are you looking forward to competing within Shogun MMA?
A: “Yes, I´m sure looking forward to compete and I´m very nervous, because it´s my first fight in Shogun and my first title fight within the league!”
What weaknesses do you see in your opponent’s game?
A: “Although he has already won a fight by submission I believe my ground game is better, but I really think that it'll be a Stand-up battle, because my ground advantage is not this big.”
What would it mean to you to become Shogun MMA's first champion?
A: “I would feel like Rorion Gracie, it would be very special to me.”
The Co-Main event will be in the 185 weight class with John Kyler vs. Shaun Anderson. Looks like it will be wrestling vs. BJJ. Which style will prevail?
