Ensimmäinen osa viisiosaisesta dokkarista. Ruotsinkielisiin osuuksiin ei valitettavasti ollut vielä englanniksi tekstityksiä, mutta osa haastatteluista (mm.Phil Davis ja painivalmentaja) on englanniksi ja videolla on mukavasti kuvamateriaalia Gussen treeneistä. Loput osat tulee varmaan tässä vklopun ja ensi viikon aikana.
Joku olikin Sherdogilla kääntänyt ruotsinkieliset osuudet:
1:35-2-00
21st september the swedish MMA-fighter Alexander Gustafsson will go his absolutely hardest fight so far in his career. He will take on the reigning UFC champion in light heavyweight Jon Jones. If he wins he will not only the first to defeat Jones but he will become the first european UFC champion.
2.00-2.30
If Alex wins he will write UFC-history, he will win. If he returns with the belt, he is the first european champion, who won against P4P best in the UFC. We have a Mount Everest to climb, we are half way there.
3.12-3.27
The 26-year old Allstar-fighter started his training camp home at Allstar Training Center in Stockholm. But exactly as in his last 6 fights he has spent his last weeks at Alliance MMA in San Diego.
4.05-6.00
We came in contact with Alliance after my fight agaisnt Phil, and they invited us. And we thought why not, we go over and test it out. And I won my next fight so it was a winning concept. I have a very good team home at Allstar, the best coaches, proffessional fighters, it is where I am based, it is where I train. But before fights I always start camp at home then I go over here because I want more sparring and it is much more sparring here, heavier dudes to go at. And i get used to the environment and jet-lag.
We have a good level of fighting in Sweden, it is not that, we go hard, train hard., we are succesful, we win. But the top guys in the UFC today are hard wrestlers, it is good to get sparring with better wrestlers, feel their power and motion. We talk college wrestling not greco-roman. It is another kind of wrestling, another motion. You must train how you practice.
7.28-8.29
I go 2 training sessions each day, 6 days a week, sometimes 3 sessions a day. An ordinary day, as today we wrestle on the morning, go very hard with all the professionals all morning. Take some lunch, rest some, and then tonight I do "the dude". I stand in the middle and do mits training with the coach and then i have some dudes in the cage who come and put me in hard situations so I have to work all the time. I go 5-6 rounds with "the dude". It is the hardest thing you can do. I get nervous before those sessions. Thats a normal day, just crush.
8.30-8.59
Alex -It was an "injury-day" today. Look at my thumb, it is all white.
Coach - You do it good anyhow.
Interviewer - Is he a bit tired?
Coach - Nooo, not at all...only fourth round, 1-2 more.
Alex- Today I dont need any wraps.
Coach: No, you dont.
8.59-9.38
Coach - The camp has been really hard, I know I say it all the time but look at me I am also tired. I can only say that he has extremely good conditioning. If he does not want to fight I will go in and fight, I am ready.
9.38-10.52
Alex - As a professional athlete, it is not a dance on roses when it comes to any sport. It is many hard hours behind a fighter, behind the training camp, a lot of sacrifices, I have to sacrifice time with my family, my close friends, my dogs, all that I love. We people like to have it comfortable, as an athlete you have to get out your comfort zone into deeper waters. You have to learn to swim somewhere, to learn it. Prepare yourself for what is to come. This is what I experience right now, it is hard. I eat sleep and train MMA, the only thing in my head right now is that belt. I am going to make sure I have turned every rock to take that belt.
