That fight seemed to be quite a struggle. How do you feel about your fight with Hunt?
Emelianenko:
It wasn't that much of a struggle. I don't think so, at least. I believe that I was able to have a good fight with Mark.
Pride:
Why did you let him escape from the arm-lock in the beginning?
Emelianenko:
It wasn't because of his strength. I let go myself. I was trying to bring him into a different position but it didn't work out as I hoped.
Pride:
How did you feel when Hunt had you in an arm-lock?
Emelianenko:
It wasn't tight at all, so I was thinking about what to do next.
Pride:
Did the weight difference concern you? Did you have any strategy for that?
Emelianenko:
I didn't have any special strategy but I could really feel the difference in weight, especially when he was on top of me.
Pride:
What are your future goals?
Emelianenko:
I want to focus on educating young people. I'd like to rest a little, too. I also want to build a new house. Of course, I want to train and continue being the Champion.
Pride:
Is there any fighter that you want to fight but haven't fought yet?
Emelianenko:
I want to fight someone that's strong although I don't know who, of course. My foot is injured though, so I would like to rest a little.
Pride:
What do you think about Mirko's move?
Emelianenko:
It's his decision so there's not much I can say. I guess it was just time for Mirko to do that. Maybe he wants to change weight classes. It's Mirko's decision, so I don't know much about it.
Pride:
What about Josh? I think that you'll have to fight him.
Emelianenko:
Josh and I are good friends, so I don't really want to fight him but if the time comes, we'll fight.
