Ricco rodriguez
Away from major events since February 2008, when he was defeated by Antonio “Pezão”, American Ricco Rodriguez does not miss the chance to do his personal marketing. The former UFC champion told the website Cage Potato that he is capable of defeating the current heavyweight champion, Brock Lesar and the Russian beast Fedor Emelianenko, recently signed by Strikeforce.
“First of all, I want my belt back. I know Lesnar is a great guy, but I noticed a lot of holes in his game during his last fight, so I know I can take advantage. He beat Mir, but he (Frank mir) doesn’t have the level of jiu-jitsu I have,” he said.
“Yes… I've been approached about (fighting Fedor), it's not certain yet, but that's a fight I definitely want. I know people will say I don't have a great chance, but I destroyed the only guy (Tsuyoshi Kohsaka) who defeated Fedor. He (Fedor) is a great fighter, but my training has improved every day and I think I have a great opportunity to win,” said Ricco.
