I would like to thank the ZST organization for putting on one hell of a world class tournament and giving me the chance to fight over in Japan a lot this past year.
The tournament was very tough and like I said in all of my Japanese interviews I thought anyone could win it. Everyone in it was a danger. Both of my fights were very tough but I was very happy that I drew Kotani in the first round. It really bothered me that people were saying he would destroy me because he beat me in the tag team match were I fought two guys for about ten minutes by myself.
Any way big ups to Marcus he caught me with a really good shot that hit me right in the eyeball. I thought I fractured my eye socket or had some retinal damage, luckily Im ok and just have some swelling behind my eye. I really wish I would have trained a little more for Marcus but to be honest Kotoni was the only thing I really cared about.
Again the organization was great. Thanks again to Monte, he the best manager a fighter could ask for. Thanks again to Victory , Bad Breed and all the guys that helped me get ready for this fight.
