Brazilian Top Team black belt Murilo Bustamante is ready to face Japanese fighter Kazuhiro Nakamura on the undercard of the next Pride GP Final Conflict, which happens on August 15th at the Saitama Super Arena.
Despite the bout, Bustamante still has a rematch with American Dan Henderson on his mind. 'I have been training hard to face Henderson and sooner or later it will happen. This is one of the goals for my career' reveals Bustamante, who still has trouble accepting the results from their first match, last September. 'That fight did not finish, and I don't see myself as defeated. The headbutt, even though it was involuntary, influenced the final result' complains the Jiu-Jitsu black belt, who requested a 'No Contest' frpm Pride. 'Unfortunately I think nothing will really happen' he lamented.
Murilo Bustamante's opponent at the Final Conflict will be the same fighter who fought Rogério 'Minotouro' at the last Pride Bushido 4. 'Rogério and I talked about and studied his game. I will be better on the ground and on the feet. In fact I am not worried. I already have been training hard and it will be a great fight. He is a Judo fighter and a really tough athlete, who has great take downs, but I will impose my game' guaranteed Bustamante, who traveled to Japan last Saturday with BTT leaders Bebeo Duarte, Cláudio Coelho, Márcio Pimentel and BJJ black belt Fernando Paradeda.
