Makoto Takimoto & Yoon Dong Sik

Pride Fighting Championships: You won today. Takimoto: The judgment was a win but I don't consider it a win.

Pride:	Why not?
Takimoto:	I don't agree with the decision.
Pride:	There were some boos from the crowd.
Takimoto:	Nothing I can do about that.
Pride:	Did you expect your opponent to fight without his gi?
Takimoto:	I don't usually train with partners wearing a gi so it wasn't anything special.
Pride:	Why did you wear the short-sleeved gi?
Takimoto:	I didn't want my gi to be used against me.
Pride:	How is fighting in PRIDE different than fighting in judo?
Takimoto:	There was no weight difference in judo but my opponent this time was big and overpowering.
Pride:	What did your opponent do that bothered you the most?
Takimoto:	I didn't like it when he would stick to me and grab my gi or my belt.
Pride:	It seemed like you hit him with some good punches. How did it feel to you?
Takimoto:	I could feel them. I think I could have KO'd him with a little more, just one more step.
Pride:	He tried to put a leg-lock on you once but you stood up and escaped. Did he have it on tight?
Takimoto:	Not at all.
Pride:	What do you think you were lacking this time?
Takimoto:	Looking at Saku's fight, I think that I still need work on movement and how to push the fight. I will work hard to learn those kinds of things.
