Kazuhiro Nakamura

Pride Fighting Championships: Who will be in your corner? Kazuhiro Nakamura: Chonan and Sakuraba.

Pride:	What about Yoshida?
Nakamura:	He's commentating in Athens for the Olympics.
Pride:	How do you feel about your fight with Nogueira?
Nakamura:	I missed my game plan. I focused on getting one big shot but I missed a lot of chances.
Pride:	You felt that you should have taken advantage more?
Nakamura:	I underestimated him a little bit.
Pride:	How are your hands? Every time we see you, your striking is getting much better.
Nakamura:	I think I only hit Nogueira well one time but I'm confident in my boxing.
Pride:	Who do you train in boxing with?
Nakamura:	I have some ranked boxing friends that I train with. I go to the boxing gym and they come to my dojo, too.
Pride:	Sakuraba will retire soon and Yoshida's there, but he's hurt. Do you feel that you can become a big star in Japan?
Nakamura:	I didn't feel that way the last time. There was more of a reaction the time before. I felt like I have a lot more work to do.
Pride:	What do you think of Bustamante?
Nakamura:	He seems like a really good person. He's ground work is very orthodox and he's got a good straight punch.

Nakamura:	He's got more experience than me but I'm younger.

Nakamura:	I'm not thinking about anything except using all my strengths in this fight.

Pride:	And in the Finals?
Nakamura:	Fedor.
