Binzo's World Tour

Fighter profile of Binzo Binzo by Mike Thomas

Post Fight Interview with Binzo. http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40545

Reporter: Congrats Binzo on your win tonight.

Binzo: Thanks man It was great to get the first Leg of this tour Kicked off with a win.

Reporter: Speaking of that you got the 2nd Round TKO, Was there anything that surprised you out there tonight?

Binzo: I wouldn't say there were any surprise's. I figured he would want to take me down in this fight. So my game plan was to try and keep the fight standing and try to get the Ko.

Reporter: That being said he was able to take you down very easily so that had to be a bit of a surprise wasn't it.

Binzo: Well yeah but he is a great fighter so I could train all the time in the world and he would have still probly got a takedown or two on me. To be honest I didn't want to go to the ground with him but I was ready if it happened so I was comfortable being on the ground.

Reporter: It looked as if he was really coming for you in the second round. He even stuffed your takedown attempts.

Binzo: Yeah I was a bit surprised at how aggressive he came out in the second round so I tried to catch him with a takedown to slow him a bit but as you seen that didn't work out so well for me. I have to give him a lot of credit he came to fight.

Reporter: You were able to reverse him on the ground and then it seemed as if you hit him with a illegal elbow or what looked to be a illegal elbow. Talk me through that.

Binzo: I didn't think it was illegal at all nor did the Ref. But to your point he went for a Arm Bar and I was ready for it. I had been working on my Def. Grapple a lot leading up to this fight and my training helped me. Once I got on top of him I wanted to make him pay so I hit him with a elbow. I knew he was hurt so I just kept pouring it on until it was over. I didn't want to give him a chance to get back into the fight.

Reporter: Ok to shift gears up next is Al Bundy in TTFC New York. You guys have a bit of history as you have fought twice before with you winning both of them does this give you any advantage?

Binzo: Really both of those fight were 4 yrs ago and we are both different fighters so I really don't think you can look at those fights and say I have the advantage. The only Advantage you can get from that is a mental advantage knowing I won both. But that can work both ways as he will be more motivated for this fight.

Reporter: Well what can you tell us about Al Bundy?

Binzo: Al is a very durable tough fighter. If you look at him he just does not get finished very often. He is a grinder to be honest he is a lot like me in that sense. The one exception is that he can end a fight in a flash with his KO power. You don't want to get sloppy with your defense against him.

Reporter: During this tour you will be fighting every week and your Opp's wont. They will just be training for you isn't that a disadvantage for you?

Binzo: I am 36 yrs old. even if I had weeks to train for my Opp's I don't think I would be any better than I am right now. I believe if I fight my fight I have a chance against anyone I am fighting. Now does this give them a advantage as they can train for me... Maybe but the one thing that helps me is that I have a lot of experience so really I don't think any of my Opp's are going to do something that surprises me. Its a fight you can game plan all you want but when the cage door closes you are pretty much just reacting.

Reporter: Well thanks for setting down with us and Goodluck in your upcoming fight.

Binzo: Thanks I will need it.

Reporter: you have anything else you would like to say?

Binzo: Yeah everyone tune in this Saturday Night as I will fight for the second time in 6 days. I can promise you one thing its going to be a war.
