Team Quest's jiu-jitsu coach, Ricardo Pantcho, is in Australia accompanying athletes Rameau Sokoudjou and Jesse Taylor, who will perform at Impact FC. The two fighters from the American team will face Brazilian athletes on the show. Sokoudjou faces Joaquim Mamute tomorrow, while Taylor will face Murilo Bustamante next week.

Straight from Oceania, the black belt told the SUPER FIGHTS What is the expectation in the country for the event?

“People here like MMA, but they know more about Japanese athletes or those who fight in events there like Dream and Sengoku”, said Pantcho, who revealed how his pupils prepared for the fights.

“Sokodjou is a judoka and has been improving on the ground every day, in addition to the standing part with strength and explosiveness. Jesse is a natural wrestler, he has a lot of energy and will accelerate the pace all the time against Bustamante. He trained Murilo's anti-game and will be on all the time”, concluded Pantcho.
