Creation process
Now, in an exclusive interview with SUPER FIGHTS – who was also represented by Eduardo Oliveira, Igor Ribeiro, Tarso Doria and VH Gonzaga in the special edition, Miguel talked about how he came up with the idea of promoting a 'live' event for 34 hours.
“The initial idea was to do 24 hours and it came in the fourth or fifth episode. But the Podpah (podcast) ended up happening. And I wanted to see if I could do more and I thought about 36 hours, which would be a day and a half. I was willing to see how far I could get. I wasn’t able to complete everything, but it was amazing all the same”, says Miguel.
'I thought about not going back'
The edition began on Friday (22nd), at 20pm, and ended on Sunday (24th), at 6am, between short breaks for breathing. But anyone who thinks it was easy for Miguel to stay until the end is wrong. Asked about the matter, the host of 'MMA on Voice' confesses that he thought about giving up and had to finish after 34 hours – two before the stipulated time – as he started to feel ill in the final stretch.
“Before, I hadn't thought about giving up, but I took a break for my laptop to restart after 10am and I thought about not going back to the live. During the process, with people coming and going, no. But in the final stretch my body ended up 'asking' because I was feeling ill. I closed at 6am on Sunday. The hardest part was before I even started, because I had to think about the guests and organize everything. There was also the part of trying to maintain a good mood, even after many hours of live”, he added.
Reception of the public
In addition to having new experiences and stories to tell, the owner of 'MMA in Voice' He is also happy with the reception from the public, who interacted and supported him in his goal.
“A lot of new people arrived overnight on YouTube and online. Twitch. Even people who watched the episodes at other times and were able to follow part of the podcast live. I had a lot of contact with the public, which sometimes I can't have because my attention is focused on the guests, right? It was really cool,” he recalled.
Next goal
And Miguel doesn't want to stop there. After having the longest live in the history of national MMA, he was reluctant to do a new 34-hour edition, but showed interest in promoting events linked to martial arts on his YouTube channel.
“That was definitely the most asked question in the last two days about what my next goal will be. The idea, possibly, is to promote an MMA, boxing or jiu-jitsu event when it reaches 10 thousand registrants. Marry fights between people who follow the 'MMA on Voice' and broadcast on the channel”, he concluded.
