Post Fight Press Conference

 

Jeff Fulton- Winners of the nights main card are here ask any questions we will be taking 5 or so then wrapping this night up with the night bonuses.

 

Reporter 1- Fumihiko, did your fight how you pictured it?

 

Fumihiko- No, in no way i was prepared for a war and the fact i got a quick win over such a tough opponent was definitely rewarding.

 

Reporter 2- Jules Dupuit what are your thoughts on such a close fight and the decision from the judges.

 

Dupuit- Although some probably felt i lost and there was clear booing when my name was announced as the winner, i thought i generally won and am open to a rematch with Jolly hes an absolute warrior.

 

Reporter 2- Question for TRF CEO Jeff Fulton, what did you think of the Jolly-Dupuit fight. Listen , both guys when out there and they fought everywhere possible and the fans were entertained. So a rematch is a definite possibility and something i think the fans wanna see.

 

Reporter 3- Question for Radulov , how did it feel to submit a very good jiu jitsu guy.

 

Radulov-it was an unexpected outcome and i think it was just the fact that my conditioning is at the point where it is. Nonetheless the win was what i wanted and I am gonna enjoy my time as the TRF welterweight champion.

 

Reporter 4-Teshigara how did the win over a tough veteran like Bruns feel.

 

Teshigara- He suprised me with how hard he hit, but hes a veteran so i should have expected more, i will admit this had i not taken him down i could be in the hospital right now. Hes a tough man and i take my win over him as the biggest of my short career.

 

Jeff Fulton- Im going to wrap this up right now with the awards. Fight of the night went to Nakata and Jippensha. Knock out of the night to Toby Dingleberry and Sub of the night to Pavel Radulov. Good night ladies and gentleman see you back here in a couple of weeks for TRF 2.
