The cut on my face is nothing big but I broke my right hand early in the fight.
Pride:
Did you break it when you went down in the beginning?
Kang:
I think it was probably then. After I punched, I thought that I might have broken it. I've lost like that before and I didn't want to lose this time so I just worked through it. I would just punch him with my broken hand.
Pride:
Where did it break?
Kang:
It's a bone in the back of my hand.
Pride:
When did you break you hand before?
Kang:
It was about 3 years before, in a fight in Canada.
Pride:
Was it the same place?
Kang:
It was my right hand but it was a different finger.
Pride:
What are you doing in Korea now?
Kang:
Spiritual MC is managing me. I'm doing entertainment and TV commercials, in addition to martial arts.
Pride:
Please say something to your Korean fans.
Kang:
I would like to give this win to the Korean fans.
Pride Fighting Championships:
What do you think of the fight?
Andrei Semenov:
I wasn't able to do what I wanted this time. I don't think I lost. I think Denis Kang showed what he is good at.
I waited too long in the beginning and that's why it turned out like it did. His punches were strong but I didn't get hurt. Mentally, I wanted to win, so I wanted to come back.
