The king of Copa Podio’s Lightweight GP, a title won
in February, Isaque Bahiense will return to the promotion for a superfight opposite
runner-up Espen Mathiesen.
The match, scheduled to take place concurrently with
the Middleweight GP next Saturday in Manaus, will go for a maximum 10 minutes
and allow a fighter to win by points or submission.
Isaque, 21, had this to say about how he has changed
since February: “I’ve matured and learned
a lot. My game is very explosive, and I always act on top a lot, but when I
became a black-belt I opened up the range of variations for my game. Now I also
play guard, I know how to move on the bottom, and I’ve proven that in some
matches. However, my priority is always to use my explosive game, to minimize
in every way my opponent’s ways of moving.”
Bahiense won his first encounter with Mathiesen on
points. On what he expects of the second one, he said, “It will be a duel will more movement, and a good-looking one from my
part. We’ve had time to prepare and study each other. Ten minutes is a long
time, and sometimes we wait too long to do something, always thiking, ‘there’s
still a lot of time.’ Waiting too long to act sometimes can cost you dearly.”
