Bruno
Silva’s fourth consecutive defeat within the
Final Combating Championship caught the eye not solely of
followers accustomed to his aggressive type, however primarily of his head
coach, Andre Dida. On this unique interview with Sherdog.com,
the chief of Brazilian TKO spoke concerning the nervousness disaster that’s
affecting “Blindado” and commented on the significance of
skilled athletes taking the psychological facet of the game
significantly. He additionally analyzed Brunno
Ferreira’s defeat on the identical card and Brendson
Ribeiro’s struggle at
UFC Edmonton on Saturday.
What was the tactical plan for “Blindado” towards Ismail
Naurdiev?
Our tactic was to maintain the struggle standing, use numerous calf kicks,
entrance kicks to the face and head kicks and numerous boxing. We have been
certain that Bruno was superior in all areas — below regular situations
he wouldn’t lose this struggle. We studied his opponent and noticed that
he had already misplaced two fights with a calf kick and had already
been knocked out in boxing, so we have been very assured that muay
thai and Blindado’s expertise would carry us victory. However we have been
shocked, as soon as once more, by the nervousness assault that affected our
athlete.
Had he ever felt one thing comparable?Earlier than becoming a member of the UFC in a struggle he had in Lebanon. It was precisely
the identical. There is just one physique standing in entrance of the opponent
as a result of Bruno was not there. When this occurred in Lebanon,
earlier than becoming a member of the UFC, we began with a psychology and publicity
protocol in coaching, doing coaching in public, and it labored
rather well. A lot in order that after that ‘Blindado’ reigned in
Russia, successful all his fights and even successful the M-1 World
belt. We then signed with the UFC, the place he began with three
straight wins and two bonuses.
After these three victories he fought Alex
Pereira. He misplaced on factors, however fought quarter-hour standing up
with the present champion.Precisely. I keep in mind that when the struggle ended, I went to speak to
Blindado within the locker room and ask him why he did not observe our
tactic, which was to take “Poatan” down. He apologized to me and
stated he wanted to point out the world that he wasn’ terrified of anybody
relating to a brawl. I instructed him that we missed an incredible
alternative to win. After that, Blindado’s profession grew to become a battle
(six losses in seven fights).
So this nervousness disaster began after the struggle with
Pereira?Precisely. After he fought with “Poatan,” he had a struggle proper after.
I keep in mind that when his struggle towards Gerald
Meerschaert began, in a matter of two minutes of combating the
opponent had performed nothing and I noticed that Bruno was not there.
I gave tactical instructions and noticed that he did not obey me. When he
went to the nook I noticed that Blindado was confused attempting to
perceive what had occurred to him. I noticed despair in his eyes
as a result of he did not know why his physique shut down. We misplaced once more to
nervousness. We knew the significance of this struggle in Abu Dhabi. If
there was a day that this disaster could not seem, it was throughout
this struggle. However my nightmare grew to become actuality. Bruno had one other
disaster in the beginning of the struggle. It’s extremely unhappy to see an
athlete with Blindado’s historical past undergo this example,
stopping him from combating as he likes, that’s, placing on a
present at all times searching for the KO.
Did you attempt to do something as a coach?I did all the things to activate his thoughts, pushing him to the boundaries of
coaching and exhibitions. For instance, I invited everybody to return
and watch the open coaching session. I requested “Blindado” to take his
daughter and his spouse to see, so he may undergo publicity
psychology. In any case, with everybody he loves there, he would not
need to lose. I additionally did this in boxing, taking an athlete from
one other gymnasium to do a boxing sparring session with greater than 100
company to look at him and thus activate his dedication in order that it
would not be one other day of coaching. No person desires to lose in entrance
of their spouse, baby and associates, so this makes coaching a struggle. I
place numerous worth on psychological work within the workforce. I do know that on the
day of the struggle that is all of the athlete must win. Calm thoughts
like a sniper shooter simply ready for the second to shoot —
remembering that he additionally carries with him the knife, pistol and
grenade. One of many weapons will neutralize the oponent, he simply
wants the chance that’s being constructed. Now let’s have a look at what the
UFC will do with “Blindado,” however earlier than something els, he must
maintain himself. “Blindado” is our Rocky Balboa, he likes to
go hand in hand, that is his type!! Now we simply have to attend for
one of the best medication, time, and switch to the following web page.
Relating to Brunno
Ferreira, what was the tactic to beat Abusupiyan
Magomedov, and what went unsuitable in your view?Our tactic was to work on boxing at shut vary, utilizing the jab or
straight to cross over his motion or kick to the top to take
away the opponent’s boxing. And when there have been one or two minutes
left in every spherical, takedown to ensure the spherical. We had the
style of victory 3 times in the course of the struggle by taking the
opponent to the bottom. However he managed in desperation to seize ‘The
Hulk’ and recovered, successful the struggle by submission, which was a
shock for all of us. Judo and jiu-jitsu are Hulk’s space. This
wasn’t purported to occur. As the identical “Hulk” stated after the struggle
“I used to be caught up in my ego, I’d by no means have imagined that my
opponent would need to take me down, particularly as a result of he was extra
on the toes.” And fight intelligence, you could disguise your
intention to have the ability to land only one blow. “The Hulk” is an
unimaginable fighter, very devoted and clever. I am 100% certain
we’ll attain the High 10 quickly. I’ve labored with many fighters, and I
can say that “Hulk” is particular and this consequence will remodel him
into an excellent better athlete. We have now an extended journey and I’ve a
fighter that each coach desires to work with.
On Saturday you’ll have Brendson
Ribeiro going through Brazilian Caio
Machado. Since each are coming from two consecutive losses, the
loser’s job might be at stake. What tactical sport have you ever deliberate
for Brendson in that one?This Brendson struggle, his opponent is southpaw, we put collectively a
nice fight technique. Brendson is a good fighter and has
all the things he must placed on a present, and on this struggle he can be
in a position to unleash his whole arsenal. He’s a really expert fighter,
like Jon
Jones, within the hanging half. We all know our state of affairs throughout the
occasion and the significance of victory on this struggle. And he’ll
carry that win.
