[cobra]

Light heavyweight champion of UFC, Maurício Shogun has not come back for the hard trainings yet on Fighting College, the gym which he leads in Curitiba. On an interview for the TV show UFC Sem Limites (UFC No Limits), of the channel Rede TV, the champion talked about his injury and did not confirmed the fight against Rashad Evans. “My project is to fight again in February, but there’s no date set yet, specially an opponent”, said, only thinking about his rest. “I’m just getting chubby now, getting a few extra pounds (laughs). I’m cool with fighting in February, around that time”. Check below some highlights of the interview.



Injury:



“On my last fight I injured my knee. If I’m not mistaken, I think when it was about 2 minutes of fight. Now there’re two months and a half since I had the surgery and I’m in another stage, during physiotherapy, recovering myself well, thanks God, and next month I’ll start the fighting trainings, so I’m cool with that… I’m just getting chubby now, getting a few extra pounds (laughs). I’m cool with fighting in February, around that time”.



UFC growth:



“Yeah, indeed. On the United States, Asia and Europe the media is much closer. In Brazil things have changed a lot, but it’s different… I usually say to the guys, joking, that if you got in the United States, you become a pop star (laughs)”.



Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen:



“I thought the fight was good, Sonnen managed to neutralize Anderson’s game and Anderson showed heart, proved to be a warrior and the spirit of a champion. It really was a tough fight, Sonnen is a great guy from Wrestling, he’s been champion many times, so I don’t believe that he’s one of the greatest representatives of Wrestling on MMA and, for sure, Anderson has a great heart for not having given up”.



Rashad Evans:



“There’s nothing confirmed. I had a meeting with Dana White and Lorenzo on the United States last month, but actually my project is to fight again in February, but there’s no date set yet, specially an opponent . I’ll come back to the United States next month for a medical appointment, my knee is 100% now, so if the doctor say I’m released, I can schedule my next fight”.
