"OK now I am with Midori who is with her mentor and
interpreter Onyo, who will be translating for Midori This will be your first public fight since your last fight where you were seriously injured. What has made you return to the ring now?" "I nearly died after that last fight. My back was broken as well as my right leg and several ribs, and I was bleeding internally. It is a miracle that I lived! I have been training to fight again, but I wanted to start outside Japan and away from the underground fights that have become so dangerous. So when this fight was offered I decided to take it. I have beaten Sancha once and I am confident that I can do it again." |
