GKNY 12 Pre Fight Interview with Robert Sito

Fighter profile of Robert Sito by Andy McKenzie

We're here today with Robert "Sitek" Sito ahead of his fight this weekend with Jose Cuervo at GKNY 12. The winner of this fight should be set to secure a fight for the lightweight title against the winner of Sphinx Vs Lester which takes place at Underworld 4.

Welcome Robert, how are you feeling about Saturday night, do you have any pre-fight nerves leading up to this one, the first time you will be stepping in the cage as a GKNY fighter?

 

 

Wow Man. I'm feeling great today and I hope nothing will change before the fight or after it (big smile). I changed orgs because the one where I was fighting ran out of money, when I was close to a title fight...I think this fight with Jose will be a great war. Similar build guys trying to tear each others heads off. We'll see what happens but I hope that my hand will be up after our fight  And then a title shot... I don't care who wins the title match right now. I think Jose could beat both of them so our match should have been the real title fight right now   

 

 

Yeah, you and Jose look in great shape at the moment and are both pretty evenly matched, what you lack in Muai Thai, you make up for in your wrestling to even the score. Jose looks like an all or nothing fighter where all of his fights win or lose end in finished, with this aggression and his and his reputation for having amazing high kicks are you worried you might get caught with a lucky shot? 

 

 

I'm not afraid of his kicks. I can also kick but I feel my hands will be faster than his legs  And I hope that luck will not be necessary in our matchup 

 

 

Thats good to hear you are concentrating on your own strenghs rather than your opponents. Without giving away your game plan, how's the training been going? Your training partner Lukasz Wolek is fighting on the same card against Fez Pez in the featherweight division. Have you been training together, and how do you rate his chances on Saturday night?

 

 

Yeah Man, we spar a lot with each other. My boxing gets better and better thanks mostly to him. But we've got great pack of guys in our gym. For me as a featherweight fighting in the lightweight division isn't easy but I train with a lot of great lightweights like Krystian Wojnasiewicz, Herkules Nowacki, Marcin Sokol or Rafal Koks. Hector Linhares, who's whole former career was as a bantamweight, will be debuting in the featherweight division so I have another great skilled guy to train with. They do a lot with Lukasz as well, so be prepared for fireworks in Wally's fight also. I predict beautiful  KO...but it's MMA. You never know for sure. I'm almost sure Wally will get his win. I hope it's gonna be great day for my camp. We want only W's on the night... 

 

 

That's fantastic, it sounds like it's going to be a very entertaining night from your camp aswell as the other 8 great fights we've got lined up on the card on Saturday night. Thanks for taking the time out to talk to us today. I wish you the best of luck in your fight and also look forward to chatting to Wally after his fight, so pass on my best wishes to him aswell. Before we sign off, do you have a message for the guy that will be standing opposite you in the octagon on Saturday night?

 

No problem. I will pass them. Actually we will be eating some pizza today with each other. We can as we are light in our divisions   To Jose, I don't have much to say, just prepare for war and don't be scared Homie  See You at the weigh'ins and of course in the cage.
