Bruno
Silva’s fourth consecutive defeat within the
Final Combating Championship caught the eye not solely of
followers accustomed to his aggressive fashion, however primarily of his head
coach, Andre Dida. On this unique interview with Sherdog.com,
the chief of Brazilian TKO spoke concerning the anxiousness disaster that’s
affecting “Blindado” and commented on the significance of
skilled athletes taking the psychological facet of the game
critically. He additionally analyzed Brunno
Ferreira’s defeat on the identical card and Brendson
Ribeiro’s combat at
UFC Edmonton on Saturday.
What was the tactical plan for “Blindado” towards Ismail
Naurdiev?
Our tactic was to maintain the combat standing, use a variety of calf kicks,
entrance kicks to the face and head kicks and a variety of boxing. We had been
certain that Bruno was superior in all areas — below regular circumstances
he wouldn’t lose this combat. 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 had been very assured that muay
thai and Blindado’s expertise would deliver us victory. However we had been
shocked, as soon as once more, by the anxiousness assault that affected our
athlete.
Had he ever felt one thing related?Earlier than becoming a member of the UFC in a combat 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 now 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, profitable all his fights and even profitable 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 do not forget that when the combat ended, I went to speak to
Blindado within the locker room and ask him why he did not comply with our
tactic, which was to take “Poatan” down. He apologized to me and
mentioned he wanted to point out the world that he wasn’ fearful of anybody
in terms of a brawl. I instructed him that we missed a fantastic
alternative to win. After that, Blindado’s profession grew to become a wrestle
(six losses in seven fights).
So this anxiousness disaster began after the combat with
Pereira?Precisely. After he fought with “Poatan,” he had a combat proper after.
I do not forget that when his combat towards Gerald
Meerschaert began, in a matter of two minutes of combating the
opponent had finished nothing and I noticed that Bruno was now 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 making an attempt 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
anxiousness. We knew the significance of this combat in Abu Dhabi. If
there was a day that this disaster could not seem, it was throughout
this combat. However my nightmare grew to become actuality. Bruno had one other
disaster at first of the combat. It is very 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 in search of the KO.
Did you attempt to do something as a coach?I did every little thing to activate his thoughts, pushing him to the boundaries of
coaching and exhibitions. For instance, I invited everybody to come back
and watch the open coaching session. I requested “Blindado” to take his
daughter and his spouse to see, so he might undergo publicity
psychology. In any case, with everybody he loves there, he would not
wish to lose. I additionally did this in boxing, taking an athlete from
one other fitness center to do a boxing sparring session with greater than 100
company to observe 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 pals, so this makes coaching a combat. I
place a variety of worth on psychological work within the crew. I do know that on the
day of the combat 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 examine what the
UFC will do with “Blindado,” however earlier than something els, he must
handle himself. “Blindado” is our Rocky Balboa, he likes to
go hand in hand, that is his fashion!! Now we simply have to attend for
the very best drugs, time, and switch to the following web page.
Concerning Brunno
Ferreira, what was the tactic to beat Abusupiyan
Magomedov, and what went fallacious 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 pinnacle 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 thrice through the combat by taking the
opponent to the bottom. However he managed in desperation to seize ‘The
Hulk’ and recovered, profitable the combat by submission, which was a
shock for all of us. Judo and jiu-jitsu are Hulk’s space. This
wasn’t imagined to occur. As the identical “Hulk” mentioned after the combat
“I used to be caught up in my ego, I might by no means have imagined that my
opponent would wish to take me down, particularly as a result of he was extra
on the toes.” And fight intelligence, you could cover 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 outcome will rework him
into a good larger athlete. Now we have a protracted journey and I’ve a
fighter that each coach desires to work with.
On Saturday you should have Brendson
Ribeiro dealing with Brazilian Caio
Machado. Since each are coming from two consecutive losses, the
loser’s job may very well be at stake. What tactical recreation have you ever deliberate
for Brendson in that one?This Brendson combat, his opponent is southpaw, we put collectively a
nice fight technique. Brendson is a superb fighter and has
every little thing he must placed on a present, and on this combat he shall be
capable of unleash his total arsenal. He’s a really expert fighter,
like Jon
Jones, within the placing half. We all know our scenario throughout the
occasion and the significance of victory on this combat. And he’ll
deliver that win.
