FCF:   At Pride 13 you went up against a very tough challenge, facing Mark Coleman, who is a lot heavier than you. What are your thoughts on the fight?
Alan Goes:   Look, this fight against Coleman…I’ll not take anything away from him, ’cause Mark is a great fighter and he beat me. I wasn’t in a good day, and I’m not creating any sort of excuses because it’s not my way of dealing with things. He went there, kicked my ass and he won the fight, congratulations to him. He can wait, because I’m training to fight him again. It’s like I always said, What can’t finish me will only make me better. So this made me better. Coleman is a great athlete, I’ll go after him, and I faced the better fight I ever did in my life, in the worst condition of my life! I’m not here trying to create excuses, but he didn’t fight me in the best shape and condition that a fighter needs to perform his game.

FCF:   Can we expect to see you again in Pride soon?
AG:     For sure! I’ll be [the next Pride,] in Pride 15. I don’t know against who I’ll be fighting, and no matter who I’ll be fighting, I’ll be there to give a show, do my best and leave my life in the ring if I need to!

FCF:   Murilo, you are considered one of the most technical fighters in the World, with a great guard and ground game. You had some memorable fights, like against Tom Erikson, and then you stayed away from the ring for a while. You came back recently, and now there are a lot of rumors about your future. What can we expect from you in the near future?

Murilo Bustamante:   What happened was that I fought a lot, and I stayed away for a while because they weren’t offering me what I wanted. So I decided to stay away from the NHB scene for a while, and expect a good opportunity that I would get what I wanted. Last year I received a good offer from the UFC, in which I would fight 3 times and I would fight for the title in the third fight, but the UFC was sold and split with the UFC Japan organization. In the meantime it seems that the UFC Japan event was cancelled. So I was invited to fight at the May 4^th UFC event, but since I already had a contract with the UFC Japan, I needed to wait a bit, so I couldn’t fight in the May 4^th UFC. I had some offers, and I’m studying them all, but I intend to return to the ring as soon as possible! I’m ready now, and I’m looking to fight at least 3 times this year!

FCF:   Can we expect you to fight at the UFC, or maybe Pride?
MB:     It can be the UFC, it can be Pride. It will all depend on the negotiations, it’ll depend on what will be better.
